Saw Unleashed the other day.Bob Hoskins plays a nutcase loanshark who keeps Jet Li on a leash to set on those who don't pay up. Morgan Freeman is the blind piano player who offers salvation.
Story is a pile of pants.Hoskins plays a blinder but Freeman is a bit corny.
My biggest moan however, is the fact that it is set in Glasgow and there ain't one Scottish accent in the whole flick!Even the woman working in the local Spar is a cock-en-nee?!

Oh, is this out now? Geez, I saw the trailer on the Shaun of the Dead DVD ages ago...

I keep hearing the radio advert for this, and it is just laughable in its choice of bits of dialogue.
Gruff voice: You’ve turned a man… into a dog!
Inquisitive voice: How did you do that ?

The latter voice sounds like a kid’s TV presenter talking to a sandcastle maker or something. Quite, quite silly.

Mmmm. No Glasgow accents, but a bald man in a dress (sorry, robes) whose kung-fu is strong! And also, of course, those illegal underground death-matches for which Glasgow is so famous.
It was a good laugh, though. I enjoyed it. Though I thought Danny the Dog was a way better title.

The fight in the toilet is great, fights in tight places always are.

Did love the whole London/Glasgow thing, I guess Glasgow was cheaper to film in than London.
