I thought that Underworld was heavily influenced by the WB's version of Birds of Prey.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Given the CGI used it seems likely to me that it was filming or already in post-production by the time Birds of Prey aired. But I'll agree that there were a lot of stylistic resemblances.

I can't even.
Couldn't they just save money by screening a still picture of Kate Beckinsale in leather for 90 minutes?
It helps when she moves around.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Center Stage is a good dvd movie, because then you can fast forward through all the non-dance parts. (Well, stop and look at Peter Gallagher and think about licking hi eyebrows too.)
Perkins is me.

Well, stop and look at Peter Gallagher and think about licking his eyebrows too.
Best driving ticket ever was given to me by a county cop who was a pocket version of Peter Gallagher (couldn't have been taller than 5'6"). Least painful ticket I ever received, and I was doubly rewarded when I went to protest it in court (on the cop's advice, btw), and he was there, too. Yum.
it's quite possible that my Gregory Hines love is large, large, large
Oh, mine, too. One of my guilty pleasures was a rather silly buddy-cop film he did with Billy Crystal, both because of the Hines factor, and also because the filmmakers did an excellent job of utilizing Chicago as a background (car race on the El tracks, big finale in the State of Illinois building's spectacular lobby).

"The Turning Point", again about ballet. Good melodrama. Plus, catfight!
Also you can see my first girlfriend in that movie. She's in two scenes.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Running Scared!!
Been ages since I've seen that movie. Only thing I can remember about it is the local troublemakers labeling their undercover police car as such with spray paint.
