Brandon Lee's last film, about a murdered rocker who comes
back to avenge himself and his dead fiancee.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Two women are shown nude from the back. A man's nude torso is
shown. A quick shot of a topless woman, several cleavage shots, and a woman in a negligee.
A couple of kissing scenes, neither of which lead to sex on screen.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - A man's dead body is shown from a distance and a woman is
shown writhing in pain and bloody (there are also flashbacks of her being beaten and
raped). A group of thugs spend their time tearing places up and then setting them on fire
or blowing them up. There are several fight scenes, all of which end in death and are very
bloody, while a variety of murder weapons are used: knives, swords, syringes, guns,
exploding cars. We see two bloody eyeballs, one being burned, and the other is tossed
around. A huge hole is shot through a man's hand, and he actually peers through it. A crow
pecks a woman's eyes out. A man is shown impaled after falling from a roof top.
PROFANITY 8 - The F-word and its derivations are used about 50 times, as
well as many scatological terms, anatomical references and milder profanities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Death, rape, incest, drug use, the metaphysical.
MESSAGE - If you love someone and lose them, the best way to remember them
is to keep loving them.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
