	Blood Oath Information
		With the release of the Region 4 (Australia) Blood Oath DVD in April of 2002, I began to understand what I hadn't before and I soon developed a personal connection to this film and the history it teaches.
		Strictly speaking Blood Oath isn't a Russell Crowe movie but it is important to his fans because it was his first feature film.
		With Proof being released in November, Blood Oath becomes the only film featuring Russell which has not been given a Region 1 (North America) or region free release.

	Blood Oath
		The appearance of these three in the 'contemporary Klingon' ridged forehead makeup end decades of debate over the difference between the Klingons seen in the original series and the Klingons of film and The Next Generation: Paramount now has money for makeup.

	Assault on Precinct 13 - Movie Review - HorrorExpress.com
		In Carpenter's film, the killers were a group of silent psychopaths who made an odd blood oath before going on a murder spree.
		It was the type of film that intentionally blurred all questions of race of allegiance and stuck to the classic model that Carpenter would continue to hone in later action-inspired films like ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, VAMPIRES and GHOSTS OF MARS.
		All previous filmed versions had white actors in blackface.

	Latino Review
		In Carpenter's original the precinct was under siege by a crazed army of gang members who had swore a blood oath to fight to the death.
		It's always amazing how Hollywood can take a popular film that cost very little by today's standards, remake the story with tens of millions of dollars and still fail to get it right.
		John Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13" was a $100,000 exploitation action picture that had a low budget feel and unknown cast, but the director showcased his superb skill and ability to build dramatic tension with little resources.

	Maximum Russell Crowe, News Gossip and Rumors

	Yak Butter Sandwich
		If you've done this sort of thing a lot, if, for instance, you use public transport of launderettes, you will find yourself salting away strange little details of casting in obscure films, such as that the 1990 film "Blood Oath" features George Takei and Jason Donovan.
		The object is to make a chain of connections between two films, or a film and a TV series, or an episode of a series and an episode of another series, or some combination of these.
		So, to take a handy example, if I wanted to get from "Whoops Apocalypse" [the TV series] to "Apocalypse Now" [ the most over-rated film ever] I could do it thus:-

	EastBay Voice - QUEERing the East Bay
		understated and stupidest line in the film when he says to Balian, “Do you remember the oath you gave to your father?” I’m sure Balian couldn’t have possibly remembered it as his “father” was dying in front of him, spitting up blood as he made Balian give him his word.
		As Ibelin lay dying, he hands over his title and his sword to Balian, making him swear an oath to be a good and to protect the weak.
		Ibelin is the worst for wear as he is mortally wounded in the ambush but has held on.

		In that one, the pirates who weren't killed in the first movie take a blood oath to kill Dragon Ma (Jackie), but then one gets sick, Jackie buys some medicine and he's made some friends for life.
		But we would never have known that because those in charge at the studios cut it out of the film, because they think that a kung fu movie has to be 90 minutes or less.
		The fact that there is a big ass mountain in the middle of the Bronx also comes to mind (actually, I picked that out in the theatre).

	ON ARTEMISIA GENTILESCHI
		Perhaps it seemed to the filmmaker that presenting Artemisia as a sexually independent woman was a positive gesture, a step beyond casting her as a sexual victim.
		Perhaps unwittingly, the film Artemisia taps into pervasive stereotypes about women artists in general, and it perpetuates the stigma of a primarily sexualized identity that has followed Artemisia Gentileschi from her own lifetime down to the present.
