Ohhh, have we got a video?
In the pleasant backwater where I grew up, when video players and video stores first appeared [probably 5 years after the rest of the Western world], all movies would have a number of movie trailers at the beginning of the tape.
It quickly became Chinese water torture. It was like they only chose from a pool of 20 movies, and some of them were a few years old.
"Mephisto", "Turkey Shoot", "Road Games", "Southern Comfort", "Scanners", "Puberty Blues", "I Spit on Your Grave", and MARTHER FARKING "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" starring David Bowie as Mr. Lawrence.
The part in the trailer where the Japanese prison guard shouts "Melly Clistmas! Mista Rorrence" is seared into my freaken brain. :)

Check out the stupid look on poor old Mr. Lawrence's head, willya.
