Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

Ok, I ask this question every few months hoping that it will someday jog someone's memory... :(


It was a movie in the 80's... a bunch of kids were pulled over in a van, and the cops killed one of them. The story is told from three different perspectives... first, the kid's ... second, the cop's... then at the end of the "trial" (trying to remember if it was a trial setting), a taxi driver shows up and tells the third version... which turns out to be the most accurate.

anyone? anyone?

sounds interesting...if you ever figure out the title, i might have to check it out

Rashomon?

It obviously isn't, but sounds a lot like it. I think I'm going to have to check this movie out.

No, I think it's Rashomon 2: Electric Boogaloo.

I want to say it was something like "the so and so story" (like his name or something)... man, it has bugged me for EONS ..... or "The story of so and so"...

You know...I've seen this flick. It might have been a made-for-tv special and seems like it could have been based on a true story. In any event, now it is driving me crazy too. Damn you. :-)

*bump* cuz it's killing me ... :(

Bump again, only because it's been over a year and it STILL bugs me!

I know, I know, at some point I need to just let go... :(

*edited: holy moses, it's been *two* years! I really need to get a life...*

Ok, it's been *two* years since my last bump, and it's STILL bugging me! Anyone? :)

Fast Times at Rashomon High?

(sorry, I couldn't resist)

How about 1981's The Killing of Randy Webster?

Yowzers, that might be it...!? I'm ordering it from Amazon, I'll let you know back here!

Damn, it will be 4 years this March.:) Hopefully, someone comes along with the answer. It looks like the one above sounds like what your describing.

See you in '09!

HOLY CRAP! THAT WAS IT! THE KILLING OF RANDY WEBSTER!

Tragically, it's not nearly as good as I remember it being... quite cheesy, actually, but I can't believe I finally found the movie. (well, thanks to some help from Dvdtalk users!)

Only took 4 years. :lol:

I love this thread. :)

I knew the title back in '03, but I wanted to see how much stamina BradJ had.
Well done, you!

For anyone who is curious:

well, apparently Sean Penn is in the movie "The Killing of Randy Webster."

As is Jennifer Jason Leigh.

I eventually found the movie, but looking back over old threads, I just wanted to post my every-two-year bump, especially to Fincher Fan... it's like looking forward in time, only backwards....

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

Good bump.

Well worth it.

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

Hopefully we can all revisit this thread once more before the world ends in 2012.

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

Sounds more like a movie title mystery than a murder mystery.

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

I will set a reminder on my e-mail to look this up and bump it on 7/30/2010. After that - it is someone else's responsibility.

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

That's not the way I remember it.

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

Great bump :lol:

10 year anniversary of my happiest moment in life - the day that movie was identified for me in DVDTalk.

See you all in another 10 years!

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

Jan '07 to now is 10 years?

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

Ok ok ten years since I asked, 6 since it was answered...

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

Hope you find it!

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

Happy 10 year anniversary of the title being identified! A glorious day in the life of BradJ indeed ...

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

With the world ending any day now, glad I lived to see your 10 year anniversary Brad.

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

:lol: I didn't realize how old this was when I first started reading.

Congrats!!

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

Happy to see this landmark date in film-identifying history recognized again.

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

Cool bump. I totally forgot about this thread! :lol:

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

If this thread was a baby, it would be 17 in just a couple of months... dayyuuyummmmmm.

Re: Help with a movie title - murder mystery
 

No idea why I looked, but it turns out the entire movie is on Youtube!

See you in another 10 years...
