~Introduction~
*****************
The irrepressible Norman is back in arguably his funniest film.
~Synopsis~
***********
Norman is sick of being a parking attendant and dreams of following in his fathers footprints and become a police man. Unfortunately he fails the height test, not that that would be a problem today.
Dejected he starts going through his dad's old chest and guess what he finds? His fathers old police uniform, oh no.
He puts it on and goes for a stroll down the street, which as you can probably guess leads to huge mayhem, farcical whimsy and general madness.
Eventually after being caught impersonating a policeman some bright spark notices that he bears a striking resemblance to a nasty criminal that the police have been after for quite a while, Giulio Napolitani.
Now Norman must ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of On The Beat (DVD)
Advantages: best dvd collection you can own, Disadvantages: need plenty of time to see the film
Pretty sure that this film "LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY " have been reviewed many times. But I would still like to share my experience with this brilliant film by Peter Jackson. Everything about this film is perfect! I would suggest you to sit tight and don't let anyone disturb you while watching it, you will definitely miss something important if you did. Actually it happened to me so i just warn you! Don't make the same mistake as i did. Luckily i have the DVD set and i can watch it anytime i want to. Anyways here are some briefing on what to expect.
The Lord of the Rings film trilogy consists of three live action fantasy epic films: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003). The trilogy is based on the three-volume book The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. While they follow ...
Advantages: Cheap Box Set Disadvantages: Poor DVD quality, Rambo 4 comming out so this is not the complete set
, Italian, Spanish
Rambo III Subtitles: English, German, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Portuguese
Conclusion
I think the movies are great, I loved the first two the best as the first one introduces John and the 2nd one he fought a war on his own. I wouldn't recommend buying these DVD's as the quality is very poor compared to other DVD's as the picture is very fuzzy. Also Rambo 4 (John Rambo) will be releasing soon so it would be best off getting a Quadrilogy box set. Also it would be a good idea to get HD-DVD or Blu-Ray Disc version because I do not think that that they are going to improve the quality of the DVD's.

DVD Description
This hard-hitting collection presents three films by director/writer/actor Takeshi Kitano (aka Beat Takeshi). See individual titles for more details. VIOLENT COP: In his directorial debut, famed Japanese screen personality Takeshi Kitano plays Azuma, a brutal but honorable cop at the end of his rope. Azuma's trying daily routine involves dealing with a naive new partner and caring for his drug-dependent, mentally challenged sister. When a friend on the police force is killed and his sister is kidnapped by drug dealers, Azuma begins walking a mercilessly vengeful path that leads to a shocking finale. BOILING POINT: In Takeshi Kitano's quirky second film, Masaki (Masahiko Ono), a quiet baseball-playing gas station attendant, runs into trouble with the local yakuza. Masaki's baseball coach, Iguchi (Takahito Iguchi), turns out to be a former yakuza and attempts to straighten out the situation but only winds up making things worse. In order to stand up for himself, Masaki, along with his friend Kazuo (Minoru Iizuka), heads to Okinawa to buy a gun. There the two encounter tough guy Uehara (Kitano) and his all-too-loyal henchman, Tamagi (Katsuo Tokashiki), who are both in trouble with the yakuza as well. After various odd incidents, Uehara helps Masaki and Kazuo acquire a gun. When they attempt to use the weapon, however, the result sets the groundwork for an explosive climax. SONATINE: In Takeshi Kitano's SONATINE, a Tokyo-based yakuza boss sends Murakawa (Kitano), one of his top men, on a peacekeeping mission to Okinawa, where two rival factions are coming to blows. Murakawa is naturally suspicious of the volatile situation and decides to lay low for a few days on a secluded beach. Slowly Murakawa and his men begin to let their guard down, battling boredom with various games and antics. However, harsh reality finds them sooner than they would have expected--leading to a bloody conclusion. A stunning combination of abrupt violence and quiet meditation, Kitano's film is widely considered a classic.
