Today makes it a month since I last had a cigarette. Recently gaining full custody of my twin daughters was the swift kick up the ass that I needed to quit.

Anyone else notice that In the Line of Duty's soundtrack sounds suspiciously like the music at the beginning of Beverly Hills Cop II? I've never seen BHC II before, it's just on TV now and I thought I recognised that music hah.

You mean Part 4? I'd imagine it's just swiped from the BHC2 soundtrack.

In English the film is titled In the Line of Duty IV. :?

In the Line of Duty is an AKA for Royal Warriors.

I happened to know the music you were referring to and if it isn't directly from BHCII it's a rip off.

I believe it's the American release that uses the title 'In the Line of Duty 4'.

HKL retitled the film for DVD. The old Imperial VHS did the same thing.

In the Line of Duty IV is the correct title.

Mark means it's English title is also ITLOD4. HKL/Imperial chose to re-title it but it's still known as ITLOD4 in The UK.

BHC1 and BHC2 are ace. Watch them! I'd (probably) buy them in a flash on Blu-ray. I say probably becaue A: Part 3 is rubbish and B: They're not the sorts of films that really need an HD upgrade. Some films work perfectly well in digital SD.

Yes, but I think Pod is just being a bit of a dick.

They sell 'English' DVDs up here in the wilds of Scotland you know! :o

I need to see Parts 2 and 3 again. Stupid they didn't release them on BD all at once. There's only three of them - why not give fans the OPTION at least of a box set? For anyone happy with SD HMV are selling a DVD slim box for £6 (VG value only £2 per movie).

Sometimes I feel that we have the same reason for fighting on this forum as Jason "Mayhem" Miller in this clip.

This email is to notify you that your Xbox LIVE account privileges have been permanently suspended due to marketplace theft.

The conduct that caused this suspension may include, but is not limited to:

Duplication of item purchase history
Attempted Microsoft Points fraud
Illegitimate acquisition of redemption codes


I haven't been on my Xbox for months, and I certainly have no idea how to do any of the above mentioned.

I'd be up for a box set, if they also sold them separately! I own that box set. It's the only way I'd pay for BHC3. It should've been so much better.

It's not anywhere near enough swearing and the setting is so fucking dumb. It also hasn't got Taggart in it, which is a shame. It looks and feels very much like a 90s movie, trying to be a 80s movie. Whereas the silly comedy in BHC2 is funny, in BHC3 it's just dumb. John Landis directed it too!

After reading this, I'm not holding much hope for BHC4 fixing anything: http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/06/03/be ... tt-ratner/

Bret Ratner! For Kids! Surely it's obvious the reasons why BHC1/BHC2 work so well? This says it will be R though: http://www.moviehole.net/200813794-axel ... he-belongs. If, it ever gets made.
