one of my absolute favorites!
... View MoreIn other words,this film is a surreal ride.
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View MoreJust saw this movie a couple of hours ago, and damn! It's one of the funniest movies I've seen. It has it all, really twisted characters. Uggla as an psychiatrist is just hilarious. The violent and gory scenes are all well done and it's non stop action from start to end. This film is hard to find though. So if you might find it don't hesitate to watch it, you will be sorry if you don't. Imagine a film with Aliens, German terrorists, ninja turtles, robocop and some other carachters you will recognize from different movies and you have sex, lögner och videovåld. All in all a really entertaining movie and one of the best to come from Sweden. Enjoy
... View MoreThis 68-minutes horror/action movie spoof is often regarded as the last film of legendary Brandon Lee.The star of "The Crow" and "Rapid Fire" has a small cameo in it as the man waiting in the line to the night club.It lasts only 15 seconds or so.Richard Holm simply asked Lee to make a cameo appearance in this film and he gladly agreed.On the other hand there is plenty of splatter and violent action in this low-budget gem.The film spoofs "DieHard","Alien","A Clockwork Orange","Darkman","The Little Mermaid","RoboCop","Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and finally Swedish exploitation classic "Thriller:A Cruel Picture".There are aliens,whores,plenty of fighting plus a good amount of blood and gore.8 out of 10.
... View MoreThis was an enjoyable movie with lots of violence, and quite good effects for being an low-budget independent production.There is a lot of cameos too - mostly Swedish celebrities who were well-known in the eighties, and Brandon Lee of course (he has two short lines if i recall it correctly.)In English, the title of the movie would translate as "Sex, Lies, and Video Violence", which of course is inspired by the title of Soderberghs "Sex, Lies, and Videotape". At the time the movie was made, and before, there was a lot of debate in Sweden about "Video violence", that is, all the violence that could be seen on VHS videos, and how that would affect the youth, what measures should be taken to stop this,...
... View MoreSex, Lögner och Videovåld is quite a movie. Yes, the plot is mostly about showing gory effects, but the only way you can actually dislike the movie, is if you take it seriously. Personally, I found it hilarious, and the cameos by a huge bunch of (mostly Swedish) celebrities, makes this a must-see. Besides, this is actually Brandon Lee's last movie, so any fan of his, should see this.
