Part 2 is quite awesome as well. there is fight with a chain and sickle.

nuff said.

Its a very well done film. Way before Blair Witch (which I still haven't seen), it was a movie that was staged as if to be a documentary. If you watched this movie with no prior knowledge, you might think it was a real documentary. For that, if one is easily disturbed, there are 1 or 2 scenes that might bother you. I had a somewhat bootleg looking copy from Australia, then I stopped into a pawn shop randomly a few years ago because they were having a Christmas sale. Picked up the minty Criterion copy for $4 or $5.

I'd love to have the Criterion versions of Hard Boiled and The Killer as well. My regular US release ones will have to do I suppose.

I wish Criterion would release the Magnificent Ambersons on DVD. They released it on Laserdisc. Argh.
