Nice Movie.......2007-05-14

Nice Hollywood movie. Lots of bare nudity for those who like it. Unfortunately the DVD does not have any English subtitles & hence it becomes dificult to understand the movie, in case you've got to watch the movie in mute mode for reasons whatsoever.

very nice t&a movie.......2007-03-09

To make a long story ... short, this is a movie with LOTS of Joan Severance and I mean LOTS of her and some other chic.
For anything else go and look elsewhere.
Regards

Joan Severance --what can you say!!!!!!!.......2007-01-26

Not the best movie ever made that's for sure but any movie with Joan Severance is always worth a look.How she is not a top A star I will never know,Paris Hilton or Britney don't even come close to Joan Severance.

Mmm, mmm Good!.......2003-02-26

This erotic drama is a keeper. It definitely appeals to the senses. Hot steaming chinese baths, firecrackers. Passion, passion, passion all around. You will love it. Never thought acupunture could look so exhilirating. Billy Zane -- whoo, baby! Wonderfully sexy film.

Joan Severance is delicious.......2002-08-01

I would say this is Joan Severance's best movie. Since appearing in small roles in See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Bird on a Wire, she has been relegated to B-movie erotica, but she has given it her best. She truly is an exquisite creature, with mesmerizing blue eyes and an incredible body.
She is perfect as the sexually repressed housewife who stumbles into a sexual liaison with her gardener, played by Billy Zane, and his sometime lover May Karasun. Like others have said, the photography at the lake in the movie is stunning and adds tremendously to its sensual appeal.
The movie takes a downturn into negativity with the revelations about the Severance character's painful past, at which point the sensuality is abruptly cut off. Talk about coitus interruptus! But it is still a captivating, memorable movie.

Pure Love.......2007-01-21

"The Consequence"

Pure Love

Amos Lassen and Cinema Pride

"The Consequence (WaterBearer Films) is a beauty of a movie which deals with hard topics--pure love and intolerance. Wolfgang Petersen directed this film in his early years and later went on to fame with "Das Boat", "in the Line of Fire" and "Air Force One".
It is the story of Martin (Jurgen Prochnow) who has been imprisoned for carnal knowledge of a minor. While serving his sentence he meets a teenager, 15 year old, Thomas who happens to be the son of one of the members of the prison staff. Thomas quickly falls in love with martin and the two, man and boy find release for their feelings in a locked prison cell. Upon releaser they set up house together and try to start a new life. Of course, society will not allow this to happen and it seems one disaster happens after another. They were never gain able to capture the romance they shared in prison.
This is quite a bold film and even bolder when we consider when t was made--1977 and at that is one of the oldest gay films that we have around today. It is quite an amazing look at both gay life and Germany. And it is so sad to think that two men cannot love each other in society and yet are free enough to do so behind bars.
Because it is an older film the print is not as clear as it could be but it has been digitally remastered so I am sure it could also been much worse. Even with that the film has a lot to say about intolerance and the perseverance of love. The two lovers are wonderful and you can almost feel the love they share. The characters all look typically German (I'm not sure exactly what that means) but this is such an insight into the nature of love that whatever faults the film may have appear to be minor. I sat and watched the movie amazed at what I was watching, a pure unadulterated love that could almost withstand anything. However, this love could not rise above the hatred of small people who have probably never known what true love is all about.
The starkness of the scenes which were shot in prison faded when we watch the lovers by themselves and oppositely the freedom of society seemed prison like with what it did to the two lovers. One would think that a topic like this might be depressing but that is not all true. Sure it is depressing not to be accepted but by seeing how society has reacted can make us much stronger.
I really saw a lot in this film and it spoke to me. It should speak to all of us in Arkansas who feel bound by a society that does not want us to be ourselves. Here is the value of a movie like this.

Universal Themes, Great Performances = A Wonderful Film .......2006-12-20

Wolfgang Petersen's The Consequence is a wonderful reminder of what great film making is all about. Petersen did not need a huge budget, overpowering soundtrack and special effects to tell a compelling and heartfelt story about two doomed lovers. Instead he was able to concentrate on filming a convincing story while eliciting two subtle yet powerful performances from his lead actors. This is not just a gay interest film; the themes of loneliness, persecution and love are universal and the result is a film that resonates long after viewing.

Thank goodness The Consequence has been preserved on DVD. It's a film that deserves to be seen. If it were not for the overly large and distracting subtitles, I would have given it five stars. Buy it, rent it, see it!

Outstanding film...once you turn off the orange subtitles.......2006-11-27

I agree with the previous reviewer that the film itself deserves 5 stars, but wanted to give the DVD zero stars because of the new superimposed subtitles.
I also found the new subtitles annoying, but I have given this DVD 5 stars because you can TURN THE NEW SUBTITLES OFF. First of all, this is a great piece of gay cinema history that I first saw in 1977 and thought I would never see again...so I'm very grateful this DVD is now available. Apparently the DVD was transfered from a print that had English subtitles and someone who thought they were too hard to read came up with the idea of the new large orange subtitles that are now superimposed over the original ones. The original subtitles are not THAT hard to read and the new ones take up way too much of the screen. Simply turn off the new subtitles and enjoy the film.

great movie, very disappointing dvd.......2006-10-04

My purpose here is to warn potential customers about the defacement that whoever now has the rights to this title has done on this fine German film. It stars Jurgan Prochnow and is directed by Wolfgang Peterson;the two would later collaborate on another film--Das Boot. The Consequence was made for German television and released theatrically in the U.S. in 1978, which is when I saw it. It was never released on video but was available for 16mm rental until the rental company was absorbed by another and the film diappeared for about twenty years. I was so looking forward to a new dvd of as it became available at last. BUT someone has superimposed large gray-white solid rectangles over the original unobtrusive subtitles (which still are visible from time to time) and put bright large yellow subtitles. I suppose the reasoning was that the original subtitles, which consisted of the dialogue in white superimposed directly on the film image was too hard to read. It WAS here and there when the letters would be white on a light background image. However, now about twenty percent of the image is masked by these large, very annoying rectangles that block out the film image, sometimes cutting off the lower parts of characters' faces or otherwise blotting out the lower portion of the screen. It's maddening to see the original subtitles showing up between when the screen is blocked out and thinking how much more preferable and less distracting it would be to be able to see the full image. I give the film 5 stars and what they've done to it 0 stars (1 is all I could show above)

Zombie in Motion.......2006-06-09

Perhaps one might predict the impact of this German production by director Anthony Hickox by looking at some of the other films he has directed such as, "Stormcatcher," "Jill the Vampire," "Submerged," & "Blast." Armand Assante who's played in some great films like "Paradise Alley," "Private Benjamin" & "The Mambo Kings" plays two brothers. The film's plot is a bit of a mishmash as dentist Max Taylor apparently made a mistake that caused his dental license to be revoked. Without income, he's relegated to pulling teeth from corpses in a morgue to assist in false identity scams. One of these is his own as he stages his own death in a plane accident to get out of the clutches of a demanding wife who wants to drain away all of his remaining assets and them divorce him. Max has an affair with Eva, Lola Glaudini of TV's "Criminal Minds." She works at a bank and will help with fund transfers. Unfortunately, Lola has a little AC/DC action going on with Max's ex-wife and doublecrosses him on $3,000,000 in insurance payouts. Max meanwhile has headed to South America and has clandestine plastic surgery paid for with who-knows-what funds since the $3 million figure never seems to waiver and comes out looking like his brother Sam Taylor. Unbeknownst to Max, Sam was a dirty CIA operative who scammed $250,000,000 from the government and has top CIA officials very nervous since Sam could bring them down with the information he has. So when Max returns looking like Sam, people come out of the woodwork to try to kill him. Bodies mount up as the bright light of the film, ex-agent John Wolf played by Rick Schroeder turns up to save him. Max doesn't know John since he was Sam's partner (confused, yet?), but finds himself re-teamed with Eva after his ex gets whacked in a hotel room by CIA. Together, they try to scam John, which winds up working okay as John accidentally blows his brains out. Schroeder's CIA agent John Wolf has humor, drives some great car chase scenes up and down the stairs of a bank that looks like the national reserve, and ultimately the film dies with him. However, like a zombie in motion, the shutter still rolls as Max is taken to a lighthouse tower in which his brother Sam who was not dead has killed most of the CIA badguys and leaves Eva chained near a bomb at the top of the tower. Max escapes, but Eva runs back for the 3 mil only to be blown up in the climactic lighthouse explosion. The films ends sadly with Assante on a lonely Chilean beach by himself. Rather than "Consequence," another title for this film might be "Convoluted." The action moves fast enough. If you're willing to leave your brain behind, you can enjoy this German B flick. Taxi!

Fasten your seatbelt!.......2004-03-31

An unexpected treat. Just when you think you know where this movie is going it heads off in another genre-bending direction. Armand Assante isn't your everyday dentist, but then again The Sopranos' Lola Glaudini isn't exactly your typical loan officer. But Consequence's lack of Central Casting stereotypes is part of what's so great about it. Nothing here is as it seems. Great photography and music, too. Even the action is weird and fun. See it!

Product Description

Nobody Gets Hurt is a story about a father and son dealing with the son's past of making poor choices. The son's insistence that he's not hurting anybody turns into the realization that there are many people affected by his choices. Ben Turner stars as a teenager having trouble communicating with his father. The father is at the end of his rope trying to convince his son to improve his behavior, but can't get past his own anger and frustration. The intense drama that unfolds delivers a strong message about choices and consequences. The ending definitely gives the viewer something to think about. Based on the critically acclaimed play by Ted Miller, this story has been used as a part of outreach and substance abuse education programs in schools, group homes, and counseling centers. "I wrote the piece with an unresolved ending specifically to trigger discussion among the students who see the play," Miller said. "It has been very effective."

Billy Zane plays Billy (Who's a cool dude!).......2006-05-18

Joan Severance (Black Scorpion, Criminal Passion) plays Irene, a married woman who has a kid and is happily married to her husband played by Whip Hubley (Executive Decision, Species), or so it seems to be anyways. Billy Zane (Titanic, Demon Knight), who's a cool dude, plays...uh, well Billy here, a landscaper who hangs out with his pals shirtless and what not attracting the attention of Irene. When Irene's husband takes their kid on a fishing trip for the weekend Irene takes her attentions to Billy as they spend time together and she eventually goes into his trailer in which she is trapped in the back as it drives off to a place called Lake Consequence. There Irene meets Billy's friend Grace, played by Mary Karasun or Holli L. Hummel (Red Shoe Diaries, Secret Games 3) whatever you wanna call her who appears nekkid swimming in the lake. Billy comes and finds Irene there. Billy takes Irene within a Chinese gathering into a place where him, Irene and Grave share a long and intimate time within a hottub..... water + bubbles + flesh + old chinese guys watching you do it, oh yeah, that's a good time right there. Irene tries to run away from it all and Billy wants to know what's up so she tells him about her past...which isnt pretty. It's not like other Zalman King movies in which every 5-10 minutes the people are nekkid and doing it. Severance is ok and Zane is Billy Zane...like I said he's a cool dude and Mary Karasun is lovely. Some of the acting is corny but if this is the type of movie you wanna watch and enjoy, then go right ahead. I give it a two out of four.
