    He could read the phonebook and make it sound creepy.

    okay so I saw this movie years ago. It was a French film about guy in prison and one of the guards is an assh*le to him. When he gets out, he tracks the guard down for revenge but the guard has gone blind and he ends up becoming part of his life. The guy who played the guard iirc is a respected French actor and (again iirc) has kinda ginger wooly hair.
    Been driving me mad for years.

    Was it a TV series called "The Pretender", by chance? The actor you mention sounds like Patrick Bauchau, who also played in "Carnivàle".

    Could've been a remake of the film you're thinking about.


  • Registered Users Posts: 671 ✭✭✭Plopsu


    Sadly not Jean-Paul Belmondo or Patrick Bauchau. There is kind of a remake of the movie (or more likely rip off) where it was turned into an erotic thriller called Payback.

    hope someone can help with this:


    i remember only two scenes, the first involves the two main characters having an argument, one is scared of the other, whilst the scared one is trying to be nice, the other character knowing the scared one is going to double cross him begins leaning on his shotgun, deliberately pressing the barrels into the muddy field there in, blocking the barrels. He then says that they are friends again and hands the shotgun to his friend and turns his back. And of course the friend turns the shotgun onto the others back and fires causing the shotgun to explode and kill himself.

    The second scene is from the films ending, the remaining main character is on a roof (repairing it) with another when a posse shows up in the distance. The owner of the house turns to the character and states it was not him that turned him in, he replies that he knows it wasn't and ushers him inside whilst he awaits whats coming.

    Its not an outright Western, I think it sets within 1890-1920. The original two main characters were on the run from the authorities. I remember watching this with my dad in possibly the early 80's. He deceased now, so cant ask him.

    Thanks.

    I've got almost no info on this, so apologies in advance.

    All I can remember is that there's a guy on a train and he has to fight off loads of bad guys with a samurai sword or similar. I would've seen this twenty odd years ago.

    Anything else I think I can remember might well be wrong, so I'm just going to see if this rings a bell with anyone first. Thanks!

    Could it be The War Zone?
    British film from 1999 about family abuse starring Ray Winstone.

    Thanks Odyssey but no its not that one aghhhhhh


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,363 ✭✭✭MfMan


    A Greek mythology (I think) sword and sandals job from recent years, 25-30 years old anyway; it was in colour. A grotesque sea monster plays a part in it, to whom the rulers often make human sacrifices. Our hero, aided by a soldier with a disfigured face, slays the monster and rescues the damsel in distress at the climax. Don't recall the main actor's name but I don't remember him as being an A-list star. Categorically, it is not Clash of the Titans. Any ideas?


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 76,348 Mod ✭✭✭✭New Home


    Not even the old version?

    No, absolutely not, this is a distinctly different movie. The disfigured soldier received his injuries from unsuccessfully battling the be-tentacled beast as far as I remember.

    maybe this or something similar

    Ortag was the disfigured solider who had battled the sea creature.

    He joins up with Hercules to fight the crature in this.

    Aye, that looks on the money. Older than I remembered.

    There is a scene where a few men are in a boat under the city. You can see buildings. I think they are trying to access a bank from underneath

    Possibly,

    Loophole (1981)

    An architect (Martin Sheen) shows the mastermind (Albert Finney) of a motley gang how to reach a London bank vault by sewer.

    Thanks but no it was an older film. Is there a scene like that in the original Lady Killers?

    Don't think so.....the 1955 film was about a Security Van robbery





    The remake starring Tom Hanks one did have an underground scene although that was made in 2004 so would be too recent

    The Ladykillers - Tunnel Clip (Trouble of this world)
