Product Description
From acclaimed South African filmmaker Kenneth Kaplan, Pure Blood is the first South African-financed feature film to come out of the government s Department of Arts and Culture and the National Film and Video Foundation. It has been screened at film festival around the world and was awarded the Lucio Fulci Award at the Fantafest Rome Festival in 2001. This controversial dark comedy stars legendard South African actor Marius Weyers (The Gods Must Be Crazy, The Power of One) and Amanda Lane (Mandela and Deklerk). The film follows a young white police rookie, Fanus, living in a strangely unreal industrial town. His late father was a sinister general in the Apartheid regime and his long-lost older brother has just returned home to resume an incestuous relationship with his mother. Little does Fanus know his racially pure blood is the key to resurrecting his dead father and the sinister order he embodied!

Customer Reviews:
Pure Propoganda.......2004-10-02
One of the worst movies ever made.............2002-11-30
Because necessity is the mother of invention..........2001-10-01
OK, so the movie itself is not exactly stunning... Fairly predictable plot, low budget obviously showing. Again, not a particularly stunning movie, UNTIL you watch the "Making of" bit.
Suddenly the movie IS stunning - in an amazing way - when you see what they ALL went through to make it happen. This DVD is worth buying or renting if only to watch the "Making Of." These guys are all things to all actors. Film Crew members doubling as hair stylists, producer/director doubling as stunt men (and WHAT stunts they are!!), actor's first time equine experience being a high speed horse chase, pyro-techs raiding their dads christmas tree light collections. What other movie have you seen where the film crew borrows a neighborhood horse and paints it black, shoots the cop chase scenes with a cop car chasing a guy on a bicycle through downtown and then runs like hell before the REAL cops show up, has to replace horses because after a few days on the set they learn what the word ACTION means and they start freaking out during the scene, and the stunt men crash cars with only pillows tied to their chests and the directors coat put on backwards, and oh yeah, films river rapids swim shots in JANUARY in Idaho!
The director is arrested and jailed for speeding in some small town he can't even remember, and is bailed out buy some guy who bails him in exchange for putting his son on the production crew.
These guys are an absolute RIOT!
This is definately worth a look just for the Making Of. These guys have made a film they will ALL remember as fondly as marines do of their boot camp days.
One other comment: I'm really not sure why this movie is rated R. It looks like it could pass for PG-13. perhaps it is the racial tension and use of the "n" word.
Not at all offensive, really, and I plan to let my younger teen kids watch the movie.
Billy loved this movie.......2001-03-01
