From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It was "Ronin", an excellent movie with an Audi S8 involved in the car chases. Absolutely superb, with loads of designer violence too:-) Sean Bean playing a dweeb for a change! J.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jeff, "Handgun" is an odd film - in colour BTW, not black & white - because it was made by a Brit director whose name (infuriatingly) escapes me but who is distinctly on the "respectable liberal art-film" side of the fence as opposed to mass-market Hollywood. It is suggested that it was intended or thought to be an attack on US "gun culture", but because any such message is difficult to discern it has always proved amusingly difficult for lefty film reviewers in The Guardian and elsewhere to categorise! Not a bad film I think, though not wildly entertaining. Anthony Harrison -- Well, my mother saw it one night and insisted that I take her pistol shooting at the first opportunity! Steve.

From: Jeremy Peter Howells, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quirkily 'Handgun' is often described as anti-gun. Though why this should be I don't really know as it seemed pretty balanced to me. My copy of Halliwell's TV and Video Guide 2000 lists Handgun as an EMI/Kestrel release in 1982 of 101 minutes. In their opinion it rates only one star but I found it quite interesting if a little slow in places. The plot line says ' A schoolmistress, raped at gunpoint, takes her revenge' and ' Novel, feminist revenge drama with a neat twist at the end'. Starring - Karen Young, Clayton Day, Suzie Humphreys, Helena Humann. No to be confued with a crime drama of 1994 with the same 'Handgun' title.

From: "Lars", [EMAIL PROTECTED] ++ The film pops in and out of the late night TV Schedules. It is called Handgun, and if you haven't seen it then you may find it worth looking out for. A young US woman is raped and responds, with hesitation, by training as a pistol shot. She does it through a shooting club, and what are obviously members of a real club put her through her paces, including a practical comp. ++ It's also called "Deep in the hart" , directed by Tony Garnett 1983 (also produced Between the lines and Ballykissangel) More info at http://us.imdb.com/Title?0085418 Lars Cybershooters website: http://www.cybershooters.org List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ T O P I C A http://www.topica.com/t/17 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics

I think the Woman was played by Karen Allen, coincidentaly she was in a film on Channal 5 last night. I've seen "Handgun" a couple of times and it always struck me as being rather anti-gun, portraying shooters as, surprise surprise, a bunch of Rambo's with sexual problems, who only talk about Guns and shooting people. I have to say that her method of dealing with the rapist was rather good though, although what she did with the Python in the end was a bit distressing :-( Jonathan Laws.
