- What is this place?.
- It's where you come to die.
- What the fuck does that mean?.
- You've heard the same stories I have.
- What stories?.
- Things the residents say. Noises they can't explain. Like something lives in the walls.

Original title " Faust: Eine deutsche Volkssage "
Languages none: [Silent movie], Intertitles: German
- We've drawn a blank with the boy bomber, sir. He was about 10 years old, probably not local. But no one's claimed the body and no one has heard of Ezequiel before... so we have no suspects.
- What about those dogs? Sergeant Clorindo, please.
- Yes. Well, as it turns out...it's not the first time dogs have been killed like that. In the last election, dogs were strung up in two villages in the Ayacucho region. I've checked the folklore, bearing in mind one or two references to Deng Xiaoping. Yes, in China, you may be interested to know a dead dog is symbolic of a tyrant condemned to death by his people.
- Anything else ? Sergeant Llosa.
- Yes, ln the remoter valleys around the Huallaga, masked robbers have twice been reported conducting kangaroo trials. The targets in both cases were government representatives. They were executed in a ritualistic way, with stones or knives then messages were written in their blood.
- A strategic equilibrium. Anybody here know what the fuck that means? You Lieutenan Rejas traced some of this crap back to a German philosopher?
- So far, I've found three references from Kant and two from the prophet Ezekiel.
- Yes, but who is this Ezequiel? Some guy who never got laid? Some smart aleck who reads too much? Some creep on a bridge spitting at the traffic? What is your theory? Lieutenan ?
- It seems these actions started in the countryside around the time General stepped down. Most have taken place in isolated communities. where the idea of a central government almost doesn't apply. I have to emphasize there haven't been a ton of them. About 37 in 5 years. And at first glance, they might appear to be random and scattered. In no case was there ever a name.
- Lieutenant, what are you saying?
- I'm saying that 5 years ago these actions, thought to have been taken by a secret wing of the army or by drug cartels, or by student organizations, in fact, may not have been.
- Well, then who's behind it? We have a name, don't we?
- We do now have a name. But so far, there isn't a manifesto. There isn't a plan. There isn't a spokesperson. We don't have any clue as to who the leaders are.There isn't an organization, or a known HQ. There is only someone called Ezequiel.
- So, what you're saying is we don't know what he or she is who they are, or what they want.
- No, sir.
- Do you have any conclusion?
- It appears a Revolution could be going on. But a revolution that has yet to declare itself in that orientation. For the moment.
- Tomcats. Do you know anything about them, Rejas?
- No, sir.
- If you're looking for a tomcat, you don't send two dogs up an alley because they knock over garbage cans, they fight fuck each other in the ribs. Cat leaps up a tree and pisses on them. You send in someone who knows the other one's way of thinking. How he smells, you know. Well, how to meow. You send in another tomcat. So I want you to be my tomcat, Rejas.
- What are you filming ?
- Oh, you know. Anything that moves.

Q -Is it enough for a director to believe... he's telling the truth? Or should he try to verify it?
A -He must. And there lies our eternal dilemma wondering if what we're saying is objectively true, or wise without being able to specify how it can be tested. Each of us hopes that film will help someone, that it will change society. But let's face the facts.We are no longer alchemists of the soul, capable of changing the world. Criteria are relative.There are no hard and fast rules. We don't know. And this uncertainty is our strength.It's what drives us to say things over and over again differently, more tellingly, more precisely.

Though Scientology is never mentioned by name in the film, PTA did permit that it was “inspired by L. Ron Hubbard and the early days of Dianetics,” referring to Hubbard’s philosophy about the metaphysical relationship between a person’s mind and body.
- The man who'll be helping you is a soldier.
- Huh?
- A soldier of fortune.
- That's what I keep worrying about. Must we leave the revolution up to a soldier of fortune ?
- This one, yes . It's Indio.., Indio Black (**Sabata)
*
Original title " Indio Black, sai che ti dico: Sei un gran figlio di... "
Language Italian
**
" Indio Black, you know what? You're a big son of a..." was not originally intended to be a sequel, but the title was changed after the first Sabata film proved successful.
Main character would only be called "Sabata" in the international English language version, and "Indio Black" in the Italian version.
Lee Van Cleef, star of the first Sabata film, had been offered the role, but had to decline because he was committed to The Magnificent Seven Ride in the role of Chris Adams.

- DNA-5 is a growth gene, Normally tadpoles take 12 weeks to become adult frogs.With the aid of the DNA-5, which carries genetic information that stimulates growth hormone in frogs, adulthood is reached in matter of days.
- So what's the point ?
- We were duplicating this process to accelerate growth of salmon in this area.When the storm destroyed one of our experimental tanks 3000 DNA-5 treated salmon escaped into the ocean.
- What if the other fish had salmon ?
- Exactly. It's my theory is that by feeding DNA-5 treated salmon may have brought back the evolution of a more primitive fish, like the coelacanth. which was discovered in this area a few years ago by local marine biologist.
The story of Ana, comes in three episodes....
from Childhood (-the-Inquisitive-Haunted-Mind) , Adolescence (the-Unspoken-Erotic-Tension) , and
into Adulthood (Violent-Psycho-Sexual-Imagination).
" You know where I've been all day? In a movie.
Watching a newsreel of myself getting burned alive.
I watched it 10 times or 20 maybe. Over and over again.
The place was packed. They like it. They get a big kick out of seeing a man burned to death. A big kick! "
" What an explosion. It blew the cell door off, and it killed my dog Rainbow.
I got out down a rain-pipe. I almost burned my side off. That don't hurt me. "
" You can't hurt a dead man and I'm dead. Everybody knows that. The whole country. I'm dead, "
" I'm burned to death by a mob of animals. I'm legally dead. They're legally murderers. That I'm alive is not their fault.
But I know them. I know a lot of them. And they'll hang for it. According to the law which says if you kill somebody you gotta be killed yourself. "
" I'll give them the chance they didn't give me.
They'll get a legal trial in a legal courtroom.
They'll have a legal judge and a legal defense.
They'll get a legal sentence and a legal death.! "

The script was loosely based upon the 1933 kidnapping and murder of Brooke Hart.
