Anyone know the name of that film where a black guy is standing on the top of a bridge and contemplate jumping off?

Snakes on a bridge?

Thats it!Nice one!Another piece of dialogue popped into my head.Trace is trying to rescue his sister and is captured and brought before the head honcho of the baddies who when he finds out the girl he and and his cronies have kept as their sex slave is yer mans sister says "Well I guess this must almost make us family".It was full of riseable dialogue like that.

Hi, I´m looking for the name of a movie I saw maybe 15-20 years ago.

It may have been made in the 70´s or 80´s and was about two male friends who wanted to set up a computer game arcade together, however they did not have to funds to make it happen.

In order to get the money, they started robbing banks, ATM delivery trucks etc.
I remember the movie being very violent and lots of blood. ( I was about 10 at the time so it could be very tame by today´s standards.)

I am pretty sure it was an American movie. I think at the end, (they spot a cash in transit van and decide to rob it on the spur of the moment) one of the guys is shot and killed in a shootout , then shortly after his partner in crime is shot too.

That´s all I can remember about it and I hope all of what I posted above is correct.
This movie pops into mind every few months or so since I saw it all those years ago, and I would really love to see it again. I hope it rings a bell with someone on here and they can let me know of the name, or where else I could I could possibly find out.

Thanks for reading,
John.

it sounds like "The FBI Murders"

David Soul played one of the robbers and I seem to recall them buying some arcade machines

it's a TV movie based on a true story which ended in a bloody shoot out between the robbers and the FBI unit after them

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095366/

Its quite interesting as to how they actually found them and also how the final confrontation was used for many years in FBI academy as an example of how NOT to do it!!



EDIT:

Both the full movie and the final 16 mins depicting the shootout are on Youtube

Wiki also has a page on the real events

You are a legend!
Thats the movie alright, I´ll have to give that a watch again to see if its a good as I remember. I hope it is!

Thanks a million for the answer, If you are ever in Lapland, I owe you a pint!

There was a horror film on VHS in my local video shop growing up. I'm pretty sure it has a one-word title.

I never saw the film, but read synopses of it on the back of the cover and - when it was broadcast on television - in newspapers etc.

It was about a man who transformed into a beast/werewolf creature whenever he had sex (or maybe it was just when he was sexually aroused).

It was released in either the very early 1990s or the late 1980s.

Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

No, it wasn't Wolfen, but thanks for suggesting it. It was something that came a little later than that. I'm pretty sure the cover had an attractive women and man embracing.

Close, but no, it wasn't that one either! It was a much more sexual film than that.

Sounds like La Bête (1975) (The Beast) to me.

or Werewolf Woman which had a really cheesy cover over here

Tipsy McSwagger

It's hardly one of The Howling films

The Howling II was the first thing that came to mind when I read the op but the user is sure it was a one word title so that rules out Howling II: Stirba - Werewolf Bitch

No, it wasn't any of them. It was an 18 certificate film. I'm pretty sure it had a one-word title. If I'm remembering it correctly, it was something like Phantasm (but it wasn't Phantasm).

I know it's not a one word title, could it be Cat People?

No, it was a much more obscure film than that.

In that case it has to be Phantoms or as it's better know Meridian

Is it on these lists?

Fair play, that's the one! Have you seen it? Here's the cover that I used to see in my local video shop.

Saw it years ago and if memory serves it's pretty much soft core porn with decent FX.

In which circa early 1980's movie was a man claiming to be from Kapuskasing (Ontario, Canada), killed with a fork by the woman who he tried to murder in her home after they met somewhere? He said Kapuskasing was noisy because of the wind blowing through the trees...

Long shot but I know James Cameron is from Kapuskasing so it could be one of his films??

One Night Stand (1978).

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a horror movie where a couple is staying at a cabin in the middle of nowhere. The man leaves to get a pack of smokes and the woman is by herself. Someone knocks on the door loudly and I think its a little kid lost. The woman gets attacked by a bunch of strange people wearing hoods over their heads. The movie ends with the lady getting stabbed to death. Very disturbing movie but I cant remember the name. I think it was made in 2012 not sure. Thanks. I also remember a record player being a suspenseful part of the movie

Wow. You're good! I didn't expect to ever get the answer. I couldn't edit my first post to say "... circa late 1970's " instead.

Thank you.
