"actually", the best pick is pusher II, which i previously mentioned and highly recommend to those who enjoy films with a constant pwnage of a lead character

^^ I've only seen the 3rd one. I'm curious to see the other two.

He kinda has a happy ending though ... as opposed to the lead character in Pusher I who also pretty much just gets pwned the whole time.

what happened? i am confused. (sarahel), Thursday, 27 August 2009 08:15 (fourteen years ago) link

ironic that he would later famously pwn two people

Oh no, not me,
We never lost control,
You're face to face,
With the man who pwned the world

but in pusher II he really gets pwned all the time, the dude in the first pusher film gets pwned but still retains some strength and he's not really a guy everyone else thinks is weak and useless (he just gets in a tight spot he can't escape.) the director said that his goal in pusher II was to end every scene with the lead character completely humiliated and every other character clearly thinks he's a loser and a pushover (this all despite his ultimate happy ending.)

the moreno you knowshon (omar little), Friday, 28 August 2009 01:49 (fourteen years ago) link

true that, though plenty of other characters in the first pusher film thought the main guy was weak and useless enough that they didn't pay him/supply him when he wanted them too. The fact that his girlfriend takes his money and bails on him at the end was pretty serious pwnage.

what happened? i am confused. (sarahel), Friday, 28 August 2009 02:01 (fourteen years ago) link
