Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSir Billy Connolly (Frankie) said in a stand up comedy show that while filming the sex scene with Julie Graham (Melanie), Director David Leland urged him and Julie to be more enthusiastic, vocal, and vulgar. Billy said that he's not like that in real-life. Just "quietly grateful" that he's having sex.
- GoofsWhen Beth whacks Frankie with the shovel, just after she has hit him, she jerks it quickly and you can see by the way it wobbles slightly that it is made of rubber.
- Alternate versionsShortened and retitled for US release.
- ConnectionsFeatured in The 72nd Annual Academy Awards (2000)
Featured review
I think Mr. Dundee's review is spot on. The bare knuckle fight is extremely brutal. It's not one of these ultra-choreographed fights seen in the vast majority of movies that contain fighting. Part of this has to do with the superior makeup job and camera angles. Also, the man who plays Neeson's opponent is a real bare knuckle fighter. He was originally brought on as a consultant, and then it was decided that he should play the character.
However this is NOT an action movie. It is a drama, and a pretty good one. I can't think of anything else to add. Mr. Dundee summed up everything.
If anyone would like to know more detailed info about this fight scene, then I suggest you rent Ultimate Fights Volume 2.
