SYNOPSIS OF STORY

The purest form of brutality is a deep primal urge, and it doesn't get more primal than these two guys. Warriors. Combatants. Former compadres. Who knows? But one thing's for sure - they aren't friends now. So a showdown must happen, CONFLICT personified, but one man is a little more prepared than the other.

Director - Remy Sharp

Remy Sharp is two inches tall, and made entirely of cardboard. For these reasons alone any film he makes, regardless of quality, should be considered an achievement. Especially if it was raining. His influences are wide and varied, and include black and white Swedish films with no dialogue, because he thinks it makes him seem more intellectual to say he has watched them.
Also directed: Fast Food

COOL! I LIKE AXES!awsome sound trac by the way...

Remy
A few people have asked where I got the soundtrack - it was knocked together quickly with Apple's Garageband.

Rob
Brilliant! make more. a minute's worth of comedy! genius

Rn
Yeah where did you get that soundtrack?

Cj
Right in his beak!

spacemonkey
Would a Sergio Leone type sound track have overdone it a bit? I'm not sure if a spoof can be overdone. A fun 60 seconds.

LowerO
Quality in a minute. Sharp (no pun intended), witty, well edited and good soundtrack. Well done.

Rn
shurrup rj it was awsome

bilbo
super duper, top notch, it has inspired me to make my own, watch this space

rj
Not bad directing, but content been done many times before. no blood on axe when it was picked up.

Gekko.
Spectacular. Lucky it wasn't raining.

Nates
Wow... that was over quick!

jo
glad no animals were hurt in making this film - good location and cuts

Me
Not bad, some good little humour, but the guy with the axe in his head should have done something before being hit (though that might have been a bit corney!).

John Elfed Hughes
Definitely not for the kids to watch. I liked the movie, it was somewhat amusing.

Very good one minute indulgence. You should have built on the "its hammer time" quote. maybe have your mate being coky with a hammer while saying it and then you pull the axe. but i didn't make it, so well done.

prettynous
oh gawd!

Remy Sharp
"the showdown: part two" should be out within the next month - and although the first was made long before kill bill (see earlier review) part two will homage as man films as I can get away with! Thanks for all the great feed back!

JP
great fun watching it. good build up. Could be a more gory outcome but keep it clean expands the auidence.. looks like you had fun making it. part 2 is out when?

joe hunter
good use of montarge.

James Roberts
Interesting. Not a dud by any means but not as satisfying or entertaining as I was expecting. The black and white works well. I liked the cut aways to the women hiding. The shot of the axe flying towards the guys face is clearly an homage (rip off?) of Kill Bill. But spoofing is the most honest form of plagerism anyway. Promising stuff, i'll look out for the next Remy Sharp film. *** Stars

Laura
i thought it was gd and clever!

ben k
very cool, liked the leone like close ups and build up, cool music, stupid beginning though, hammertime?

Die Hard with a Burger
Characteristic of Kurosawa's early work this superlative piece echoes the story of man's inhumanity to man, whilst being a wonderfully character driven spectacle. Dare I say, that Remy has achieved the pinnacle of artistic achievement through his magnus opus .....oh, and I liked the bit with the axe too!!

em
good i liked the classic close up of hands and eyes, and the thing he does with his eyebrow is cool

Dave Dogthree
I was moved by this movie in ways that I am only just coming to terms with. In the future I will always look for Remy Sharp's movies. And what an interesting name, remy sharp, it does sound a bit directorish doesn't it? oh how wonderfull, how delghtfull, how ner.

pseudoman
Good

Andrew Paul
