Brandon's Cameo

[raven_guest · 7/10 · 27 April 2020]

It's worth watching just for the earring Brandon Lee is wearing in his cameo. Probably the only person in existence to pull off the 'Pat Butcher' earring. Gotta love it x

Funniest and most violent Swedish flick ever!

[von Krolock · 17 December 2003]

Definetly one of my favorites when it comes to splatter-filled humour, Richard Holm & co show that you don´t need a lot of money to create something wonderfully funny and violent. Spoofing a lot of films along the way, Mikael Beckman has to fight off the Clockwork Orange-gang, Frigga from "Thriller", the Alien-monster, a German terrorist from "Die Hard" and Robocop(superbly played by football expert Tony Johansson). And yes, it IS the genuine Brandon Lee in his last starring appearence.

A very hard film to come by, but if you get the chance, don´t miss it!

Funny and violent action/horror comedy.

[HumanoidOfFlesh · 8/10 · 25 September 2007]

This 68-minutes horror/action movie spoof is often regarded as the last film of legendary Brandon Lee.The star of "The Crow" and "Rapid Fire" has a small cameo in it as the man waiting in the line to the night club.It lasts only 15 seconds or so.Richard Holm simply asked Lee to make a cameo appearance in this film and he gladly agreed.On the other hand there is plenty of splatter and violent action in this low-budget gem.The film spoofs "DieHard","Alien","A Clockwork Orange","Darkman","The Little Mermaid","RoboCop","Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and finally Swedish exploitation classic "Thriller:A Cruel Picture".There are aliens,whores,plenty of fighting plus a good amount of blood and gore.8 out of 10.

The best swedish movie since "The Man on the Roof"!

[Trappatony · 10/10 · 4 February 2003]

Take one part "Die Hard", one part "A Clockwork Orange" and one part "Alien" - shazaam, there you have "Sex, Lies & Videoviolence". Probably the coolest actionflick from Scandinavia ever, and definitively the best swedish film since "The Man on the Roof" 1976!

Johan Holm and Mike Beck reflects insanity at its peek, and Tony Johansson as RoboCop makes Peter Weller looks like a Teletubbie. Don't miss it!

Hilarious

[chevachrille · 10/10 · 14 October 2007]

Just saw this movie a couple of hours ago, and damn! It's one of the funniest movies I've seen. It has it all, really twisted characters. Uggla as an psychiatrist is just hilarious. The violent and gory scenes are all well done and it's non stop action from start to end. This film is hard to find though. So if you might find it don't hesitate to watch it, you will be sorry if you don't. Imagine a film with Aliens, German terrorists, ninja turtles, robocop and some other carachters you will recognize from different movies and you have sex, lögner och videovåld. All in all a really entertaining movie and one of the best to come from Sweden. Enjoy

Brandon Lee's last movie

[Angel-43 · 15 November 2001]

Sex, Lögner och Videovåld is quite a movie. Yes, the plot is mostly about showing gory effects, but the only way you can actually dislike the movie, is if you take it seriously. Personally, I found it hilarious, and the cameos by a huge bunch of (mostly Swedish) celebrities, makes this a must-see. Besides, this is actually Brandon Lee's last movie, so any fan of his, should see this.

One of maybe five good Swedish action films

[zokkerkonny · 8/10 · 9 April 2005]

This was an enjoyable movie with lots of violence, and quite good effects for being an low-budget independent production.

There is a lot of cameos too - mostly Swedish celebrities who were well-known in the eighties, and Brandon Lee of course (he has two short lines if i recall it correctly.)

In English, the title of the movie would translate as "Sex, Lies, and Video Violence", which of course is inspired by the title of Soderberghs "Sex, Lies, and Videotape". At the time the movie was made, and before, there was a lot of debate in Sweden about "Video violence", that is, all the violence that could be seen on VHS videos, and how that would affect the youth, what measures should be taken to stop this,...
