    Youre joking right? The film is in black and white, except the yellow guy, and her hotness. But its probably a copy if it has no menus.

    yeah, its supposed to look like a comic book, the only nudity i remember is when the big guy is with the hooker, other than that its just jessica alba in skimpy clothing mmmmmmmmm drool.

    A friend gave me the original Frank Miller comics to read a couple of years back and I thought it was great.

    I couldn't be happier with how it was translated into film...

    It's a ground breaking piece of cinematography. I think it's about as close as you can get to translating a graphic novel to film. If only he'd done Judge Dredd!

    Agreed 0iD, can't really think of much else that's came out this year that could contend with it for the cinematography oscar this year, except maybe House of the flying daggers (i think that was this year, might be wrong though)

    Loving the thought of what would have been if Judge Dredd got the same treatment. Got me thinking now.

    Its supposed to represent comic book noir... So black and white is generally a must have

    Talking of historical films, anyone seen 'Manos' The Hands of Fate? I'm unlucky enough to own it... Its IMDb's worst film. Ever.

    Hahaha.

    I must admit this is among the funniest threads I have read.

    No offense, but not realising the film is in black and white.

    Still it is an amazing film.

    Amazing film this. I usually HATE black and white films but they've done a great job in making it look like a kind of modern black and white if you see what i mean, its not dull looking, like other B&W films.

    Its a totaly twisted film, but its been put together really well and i enjoyed watching it. If there were a 21 rating this would have it especially if it were in colour.
