    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    anything with Shirley McClaine
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Awesome recommendation there. John Woo in his prime is excellent stuff. Also check out The Killer and A Better Tomorrow. Standard John Woo/Chow Yun Fat viewing!

    They actually cut scenes from the movies?!?
    I'm thinking I must have had the unrated version.

    Thanks for the link.

    The original Japan version did have scenes cut because they were too graphic...if you can beleive that.

    I watched it in 2002 (I believe), I just ordered that "Blood Bag" version I posted from Amazon.
