MAY INCLUDE SPOILERS: During a police chase, the fugitive breaks into a woman's home and takes her captive. His demands of the police are: a plane to Rio, $50,000 etc. Then he notices that her home is a complete mess. When he confronts her about it, she does not seem to care; she appears to be deeply depressed. His demands on the police now include paint, curtains, tools, a new dress etc. All of the demands are met, except for the flight and the money. Her spirits lift as they completely remodel her decor: DIY means "Do it yourself" after all. They do make a lovely couple. The mood of the film is reminiscent of "Cold Comfort Farm" and Monty Python at its best, whereas the story is a combination of "Die Hard" and "Woman in the Dunes".
