Right, LH, you've asked for it! MERYL STREEP!! Ha! Serves you right, that's all I can say ...

Anyway I recently watched a truly, truly awful film from about 20 years ago. It was called 'The Limey' and starred (I think)Terence Stamp. It was about an English gangster who goes to America ... for some reason which escapes me. In one scene he gets beaten up by some American gangsters, who after giving him a thorough pounding, throw him out into the street. THEN, and only then, do we discover that he's carrying a gun (which the American gangsters have failed to notice) and he goes back into the establishment from which he's been ejected and shoots his assailants!

In another scene some criminal or other has a house on top of a hill and there is a road spiralling round the hill to the bottom. TS shoots someone in the house and then is involved in a car chase and shootout down the spiral road. In the meantime the house owner calls the cops who drive up the spiral road and FAIL TO NOTICE the shootout happening half way up!
