Lady Vengeance

In Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, Lee Geum-Ja (Lee Young-Ae) is released from prison after serving 13 years for a murder she didn’t commit. She cuts off her pinky as contrition for her role in the kidnapping, then starts her meticulously planned revenge on the true murderer.

300

300 shows a slightly dramatized account of the Battle of Thermopylae, where Spartan King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) clashed with Persian King Xerxes. The vastly outnumbered Spartans make a valiant stand, but I can’t help wonder how they’d have done with some armor, or a shirt, on.

The Rocketeer

In 1930s Los Angeles, stunt pilot Cliff Secord (Billy Campbell) stumbles upon a rocket pack designed by Howard Hughes. He uses it during a show and becomes a media sensation as The Rocketeer. The fame doesn’t help though when the mob is willing to kill to get the rocket pack back for a Nazi secret agent.

Jenny Blake from The Rocketeer

In The Rocketeer, Jenny Blake is an aspiring actress whose relationship hits the rocks when her boyfriend Cliff’s visit to the movie set leads to her getting fired. The movie director makes up with Jenny and attempts to seduce her — but not to date Jennifer Connelly. No, to get his hands on a jet pack.

Jason Voorhees

In the Friday the 13th series, Jason Voorhees is a killer on the loose, mostly in camp sites but sometimes in outer space. That iconic hockey mask is worn to hide his disfigured face. Just don’t confuse him with Michael Myers, he really hates when that happens.

Franklin from GTA5

In Grand Theft Auto 5, Franklin Clinton is a repo man for a shady car dealer. He doesn’t want to end up anywhere near a prison, but keeps getting pulled deeper and deeper into a world of crime.

Trevor from GTA5

In Grand Theft Auto 5, Trevor Philips is one of those rare Canadians with a violent temper. When a bank robbery goes bad, Trevor is the only one to escape. He settles in a quiet area and makes ends meet by smuggling weapons and manufacturing drugs.

Michael from GTA5

In Grand Theft Auto 5, Michael Townley is a career criminal specializing in bank heists. After a big job turns into an ambush, he enters the witness protection program and enters into a cushy life as Michael De Santa.

Super Troopers

The Vermont state troopers are the Super Troopers. They spend their days pranking each other and one-upping their rivals, the local Spurbury police department. Things get real though when budget cuts threaten their jobs — meow they gotta prove their worth.

Shaun of the Dead

Shaun of the Dead stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as a pair of directionless guys who find themselves in a zombie uprising. They’re surrounded by zombies, but don’t realize what’s happening until they turn on the TV. Without much preparation, they’ll have to improvise for their zombie defenses.
