# Lethal Weapon 3
- During the credits you can hear that another bomb has been discovered. When
Martin and Roger show up in their car, they have this discussion again
whether or not to go in. Just as they stop at the building, the whole
building explodes and you can hear Martin saying, while backing up the car,
"I hope nobody saw us".
# Masters of the Universe
- Skeltor says "I'll be back!".
# Singles
- Outtakes after credits on video version
- Steve (Campbell Scott) goes to a house looking for Linda (Kyra Sedgwick), but
a woman at the house (Debbie Mazar) tells him that she's moved out to live
with some guy.
- Steve walks down the street past the mime (Eric Stoltz) to the magazine stand
where the magazines on the rack start talking to him, giving him advice. He
goes home to his apartment.
- David (Jim True) walks down a street. His voiceover says that Steve's search
for the perfect girl is a trap, and that he lives his own life like a French
movie where everyone is cool and no attachments are made. He enters a
beatnik club where a woman (Lara Harris) recites a poem in French. She sits
down with him for a brief conversation in French and they leave together.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- The makers of this motion picture consumed mass quantities
of pizza, orange juice and water during the production. They
never used drugs and have no intention of doing so in the future.
Say "no" to drugs and have a long and happy life. Unless,
of course, you are run over by an RTD driver, in which case
you will have a short but happy life.
- Any similarity between asses portrayed in this motion picture
and real asses, living or dead, are purely coincidental.
- The Producers would like to assure that no animals were injured
in the making of this motion picture. Unfortunately, the same
cannot be said of some of our actors.
- But seriously, folks...
Any unauthorized duplication, distribution and exploitation
of this motion picture will result in criminal prosecution
and for all you video pirates out there, that means get your
hands off our movie or we'll come after you with a loaded gun.

underlined revisionist conceit that belie the film's emotional attachments
to the subject matter."
Garth: "I just hope you didn't think it sucked!"
Wayne: "Okay, so thank you for coming. Good night and party on!"
Garth: "Party on, Wayne!"
Wayne: "Party on, Garth!"

Searching the lists
-------------------
The lists can now be searched via a mail-server interface. For details
send a message with a subject HELP to .
Alternatively, the movie database package uses the information contained on
the lists to create and search a massive movie database. The latest version
includes a new program which takes all the trouble out of installing and
maintaining the database. It also supports the new biographies and crazy
credits lists.
The package is available via anonymous FTP as follows:
cathouse.org in /pub/cathouse/movies/database/tools/movie2.7.tar.Z
see the README file in the same directories for information on how to
get started.
Finally, the database is available via the World Wide Web. To access it,
you'll need a browser. A browser is a 'client' program which connects to
'servers' such as www.cm.cf.ac.uk where the movie database can be found.
WWW browsers exist for most machines. Here's a list of some browsers;
