There's an encounter in the desert with some guys from the 10 Cities in a car of some sort. There were a few more scenes in the 10 cities before the big game and the ending was completely different. In the Ozzy, version the movie doesn't end with the celebration party. Salo who had been kicked out of the League can't join up like Joan Chen. So he has to return to wandering the desert with a few new replacements for the team. There's at least one scene with Joan Chen's character playing the Game, but it seemed to convey a certain sense of emptyness, like she's already played the best game ever and with out Salo around it doesn't have the same meaning. The movie then ends out in the desert with Salo reasuring the new Quick on the team, who's nervous before the game about the other team not having shown up yet and Salo replies "They'll show up. The Best ones always do." and then the mist clears to show the other team backlit by the sun on a ridge. Great moment, great movie. It was the only movie that I've ever wanted to get up and cheer at the end. The big game really rocks if you've got a powerful subwoofer.Equilibrium (GunFu)Local Hero - An amazingly touching movie. Nothing really happens in the movie, but something about it just draws you in and won't let you go.A Taxing Woman & A Taxing Woman Returns - Hysterically funny tales of the Japanese IRS. I never understood why they made the second movie until after living in Japan and seeing the endless parade of political scandals.Dark City - Absolutely one of the best movies I've ever seen. My respect for Rodger Ebert increased significantly when he said it should have gotten the Oscar that year.Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai - Just watch it. It's a necessary part of any Geek/Gamer's life. Without watching it you can't pass the test at the end.Into the Night - Best scene in the movie : Where Jeff Goldblum talks one of the iranian thugs into committing suicide, just by describing what he's been going through.Bob Roberts - For anyone who's ever hated the bush (II) administration. A little side note. The soundtrack was never released, because Tim Robbins was afraid that Rush Limbaugh and his ilk would play the songs constantly. Since the "parody" songs in the movie are pretty much what they actually believe.The new Gamera Movies - Yes he's still full of turtle meat and if you don't like giant monster movies you still won't like it, but they have damm near Hollywood grade special effects, a plot that's actually good and a director that knows how to make a Good Movie. The end of the third movie has some truly magnificent scenes. These are what the new Godzilla movies should have been.Cast a Deadly Spell - Terrific little made for HBO movie, Staring Fred Ward. As the movie said at the start "It's 1947. Los Angeles. Magic works". It's a very funny yet deadpan serious Film Noir set in a world where magic is as common as technology. The humor comes from the oddities that nobody in the movie would notice, but are jarringly different to the viewer. Bell boys that have the luggage floating after them. A night club with no building where the entrance is just a Door way in the middle of a parking lot. The police trying to sweat information out of a werewolf. Probably have to turn to Ebay for this one, though it might be available in the VHS rental section of the video store.</blockquote>
