Inspector General Movie Review  Just like Danny Kaye:-)
The inspector general was funny, and the dvd came in good condition. I have always loved Danny Kaye movies, and no matter what, even if he does the same voices in every movie, he makes it hilarious. If you want a good laugh, watch Danny Kaye in the Inspector General!

This boisterous crime-cop dramedy is written and produced by Luc Besson and stars Jean Reno. Like THE PROFESSIONAL (the 1994 Besson-Reno film), it is the story of a man with a grim, lonely life and a penchant for violence who finds redemption in a needy, spirited young girl who forces him to have heart and save her from an ugly group of thugs. This time around, with WASABI, Reno plays Hubert, a Parisian cop who is handed a forced sabbatical when he accidentally beats up the chief's son. Simultaneously Hubert learns that his one true love, Miko, has died, leaving him her inheritance. He quickly travels to Tokyo to sign the papers, and learns that he has inherited Yumi (Ryoko Hirosue), his exuberant 19-year-old daughter, who is perpetually shopping, dancing, and laughing. Unfortunately, Yumi is being trailed by a tough bunch of Japanese mobsters who want access to her sizeable bank account. With the help of Maurice (Michel Muller) and an immense cache of weapons--grenades, rocket launchers, giant pistols, and golf clubs--Hubert uses some fancy footwork to bring Yumi to safety. Directed by Gerard Krawczyk with a thumping musical score from Eric Serra, WASABI is a bright, loud, fast-moving film.

Inspector General review
$19.55
Donizetti's LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR, based on a Sir Walter Scott novel, follows a tragic romantic story which is very similar to "Romeo and Juliet." Renowned soprano Dame Joan Sutherland skyrocketed to worldwide attention upon her performance in the lead role in 1959. Here, she returns to the role that she was made to play in this beautiful 1986 production, directed by John Copley. Wonderful support is given by brilliant tenor Richard Greager.
Joan Sutherland first broke through to international success with her role in Lucia Di Lammermoor, Gaetano Donizetti's operatic interpretation of Sir Walter Scott's story of love, treachery and murder. In 1986, in the autumn of her career, the great Sutherland returned to the work which made her name in ...
