Tatort: Borowski in der Unterwelt (2005)
Season 1, Episode 608
9/10
Best "Tatort" episode in years!!!
3 October 2005
Watching and collecting episodes of the German crime series "TATORT" for decades now, I lately began to doubt its originality and (missing) action sequences.

However, this is the best new episode I have seen in years. In a nutshell, I guess one could describe it as a mixture between the Texas CHAINSAW MASSACRE and AMSTERDAMNED. Very dark and sinister, but with great dialog for comic relief.

"Well done" art department, props, and location manager. Here in the Netherlands, a TV-movie like this one would be qualified to get a theatrical release for sure. 9/10

Kung-Fu meets Alien
11 June 2004
Special Silencers are little red pills that will grow a tree in your stomach unless you are a shaolin monk and use them for meditation. The pills fall into the wrong hands and you can imagine the damage they will cause in the little Indonesian village... I really liked watching this obscure Indonesian movie because of its special make-up effects, its flowery, easylistening soundtrack, and the fact that it has a kung-fu fighting girl in it (not as good as Lady Whirlwind, but she tries hard). The movie combines the kung-fu craze of the 70s with the bloody horror that ruled the 80s. You have to be a lover of exploitation movies in order to enjoy it. I hope that someone is going to release the soundtrack soon.
