Sex, Lies and Video Violence (2000)
Micke is a total film nerd, who would be rather sitting home watching violent action movies than to be outside drinking and hanging out with friends. One night Micke has prepared to have an orgy of violent movies, but something rather strange interrupts his plans. While watching "Die Hard", one of the German terrorists from the film comes out of the television, and this launches a night of violence filled with known characters.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The acting in this movie is really good.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Just saw this movie a couple of hours ago, and damn! It's one of the funniest movies I've seen. It has it all, really twisted characters. Uggla as an psychiatrist is just hilarious. The violent and gory scenes are all well done and it's non stop action from start to end. This film is hard to find though. So if you might find it don't hesitate to watch it, you will be sorry if you don't. Imagine a film with Aliens, German terrorists, ninja turtles, robocop and some other carachters you will recognize from different movies and you have sex, lögner och videovåld. All in all a really entertaining movie and one of the best to come from Sweden. Enjoy
This 68-minutes horror/action movie spoof is often regarded as the last film of legendary Brandon Lee.The star of "The Crow" and "Rapid Fire" has a small cameo in it as the man waiting in the line to the night club.It lasts only 15 seconds or so.Richard Holm simply asked Lee to make a cameo appearance in this film and he gladly agreed.On the other hand there is plenty of splatter and violent action in this low-budget gem.The film spoofs "DieHard","Alien","A Clockwork Orange","Darkman","The Little Mermaid","RoboCop","Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and finally Swedish exploitation classic "Thriller:A Cruel Picture".There are aliens,whores,plenty of fighting plus a good amount of blood and gore.8 out of 10.
This was an enjoyable movie with lots of violence, and quite good effects for being an low-budget independent production.There is a lot of cameos too - mostly Swedish celebrities who were well-known in the eighties, and Brandon Lee of course (he has two short lines if i recall it correctly.)In English, the title of the movie would translate as "Sex, Lies, and Video Violence", which of course is inspired by the title of Soderberghs "Sex, Lies, and Videotape". At the time the movie was made, and before, there was a lot of debate in Sweden about "Video violence", that is, all the violence that could be seen on VHS videos, and how that would affect the youth, what measures should be taken to stop this,...
Take one part "Die Hard", one part "A Clockwork Orange" and one part "Alien" - shazaam, there you have "Sex, Lies & Videoviolence". Probably the coolest actionflick from Scandinavia ever, and definitively the best swedish film since "The Man on the Roof" 1976!Johan Holm and Mike Beck reflects insanity at its peek, and Tony Johansson as RoboCop makes Peter Weller looks like a Teletubbie. Don't miss it!
