Edit : Not 15 mins but now 35 minutes. I thought it was later than it was.
I mind first seeing this film on a pirate VHS. Haha.

See when he spends ages re-arranging his desk at work? I've spent days doing that. Very slow days.

Fair point, otherwise.

The editing on this to add in the adverts is terrible. That's twice its cut off abruptly.
Apparently he now has to kill someone called "Fathe". | |

No one mentioned farenheight 451? Or is that too pedestran to be worth mentioning alongside obscure Russian sci Fi? Next you'll be telling us stalker was based on roadside picnic or some such...

Pure entertaining rip-off nonsense. Really love it for it's shiteness - Gun Kata is brilliant.
Bale can turn a completely rubbish film into something watchable easily though - see Reign of Fire as an example.

Gun Kata is fucking awesome.
I like the film, but I don't really think it's THAT similar to the Matrix. Sure, minor touches here or there, and it came out around the same time, but I think I actually prefer it to The Matrix.
