By contrast, the action freak audience did not get enough blood and guts. So the film flopped. Yet, I feel it was meant to do just that. This film has black humour. Ingmar Bergman's Death comes out of the cinema screen, touches people, they die.
Death walks grimly through our colourful world, starkly black and white.
The film has a moral, too. Bad guys usually lose in films, but not in reality. Reality is a place where the good guys don't always win. So, for me, Star Wars is a mega flop and Last Action Hero , a mega hit. The tendency to stereotype is in us all.
