No..No... It is for real.. A group of Vigilantes were formed .. They travelled on the underground system..

just checked google..

In 1979. Curtis Sliwa founded the Guardian Angels in New York City to combat rampant violence and muggings on the New York City Subway.. known for their signature Red Berets and Bomber Jackets,
the unarmed volunteer group rode the trains to deter crime and occasionally performed citizens arrest.
the organization is still active.
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

A lovely film, but I don't know how he could have had so many bullets in that handgun.

It amazing the props they use in movies. Just look at those light sabres.

I started watching this but gave up after about half an hour. There was a series of isolated incidents and I was waiting for it to build into some consistent story with an obvious plot leading to a conclusion but it didn't seem to be going that way. I found it rather tedious.i could see why it was banned though.

I'll pass then, but thanks for the offer.

It's still on Youtube anyway. Link earlier if anybody wants to try it.

The basic premise is that there is some woman in hospital that the vigilante knows (nothing revealed about that) who was put there by somebody or maybe some people and he is talking to her about bringing her justice. He is a rich American. It opens up with to me anyway an unconvincingly gory start which wasn't the woman in hospital.

It was surprisingly short and sort of unfinished ( I didn't get the bit where he shot all those people from a metal box ) but made its point .
Chilling and shocking .

I'm surprised it's on Youtube TBH as they have really strict guidelines on all sorts of things. Maybe it's because the nudity, sex gore and violence is all fictionalised and not real people.

Yeah, no idea why they included his trip to the brothel  :rolleyes:   The end was encouraging though when the judge saw the light.

It was just after that inexplicable section that I quit. I thought there would be something revealed that gave me a clue to the main theme. Well some things were revealed  :rolleyes:  but I still had no idea where the story was going other than being a set of cameos.
