This week Film Friday takes a break from showcasing famous scenes you probably remember in order to present you with this utterly forgettable one. As Brendan comments, this conversation probably doesn't spring to mind when you think of the movie it comes from. But why not? When your lead actors are getting shot, stabbed, dragged behind cars and flung into exploding slag pits, sometimes your script screams out for the services of a doctor. Or at least someone with a pair of pliers and a mother's touch.

And totally off-topic, we know we're a bit late getting this one out the gate for you - that's Hong Kong in action. Fantastic city, but there's a real scarcity of public internet access points. If anyone has recommendations for good cafes down here drop a line.
