movie mixed scissors scenes

Romeo is bleeding


STARRING:Gary Oldman Lena Olin Juliette Lewis Annabella Sciorra

ACCESS:video/ it has also been shown on varous cable networks.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Gary Oldman plays a police detective on the take who gets
caught up in a mob power struggle while trying to carry on relationships with
his wife, his mistress, and a mob hitwoman who has him mesmerized. Lena Olin
is spectacular as the femme fatale.

SCISSORS SCENE(S): 1 Gary is on a pier in the early morning waiting for Lena.
he has some forged documents for her. she pulls up slowly in a cadillac and he
gets in next to her. he gives her the envelope filled with the papers she
wanted and she gives him a duffel bag filled with money. he hugs the bag and
closes his eyes, relaxing. (he had been thru a lot to get this far) she puts
her arm around his head as if to gently encourage him but we see that she has
a string in her hand and suddenly she has it around his neck. she pulls it
tight and begins to laugh uncontrollably as his eyes bulge out wildly and he
struggles desparately to escape. she actually pulls his face against her
breasts as she chokes him, looks down into his face, and laughs some more.
finally he is able to push her out of the driver's side door and the grip is
broken. they both fall out of the car and he manages to pull his gun and shoot
her in the shoulder. he cuffs her and puts her in the back seat of the car and
drives off. a few blocks away he is driving fast when her legs go past his
head on both sides and her ankles lock in front of him. her powerful calves
squeeze his neck as the camera shows us a side angle and we see that she is
practically doing a head stand on the back seat. he is gasping for air, trying
to escape her grip while trying to control the car. he can't do it and they
smash into a pole. he is unconscious and Lena acrobatically flips herself into
the front seat. (remember her hands are cuffed behind her.) she coils up like
a spring and then lashes out with her powerful legs kicking out the damaged
windshield. then she grabs the bag of money behind her back, takes the
envelope of papers in her teeth, and climbs out of the windshield and takes
off. he is left unconscious and empty-handed. 2 Gary and Lena (who are now
lovers, and working together) meet in a hotel room. they slow dance, they
kiss, and she lays back on the bed and brings her legs up. he kneels and
begins kissing her legs which inexorably begin to wrap around his neck. we see
her ankles locking behind his head and then the door is suddenly smashed in by
3 detectives who are unaware that they have committed scissors interruptus.
they both get arrested.

POSITIVES:beautiful lady, imaginative setup, very energetic execution, good
camera work

NEGATIVES:why couldn't those 3 detectives have missed the elevator?
