	JoBlo reviews the movie "Urban Legends: Final Cut"
		I liked this movie, it was not as good as the first Urban Legend (7.2/10) but I thought it was fun to watch with some nice twists.
		Like the killings were not based on legends at all except for the gratuitously gory first killing, but we already saw that legend in the first one.
		The only thing that this movie uses from the first is the story of what happened on the campus grounds which is used by the filmmakers to make a horror movie.

	Urban Legend (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Urban Legend is a 1998 thriller/horror film starring Alicia Witt, Jared Leto, Rebecca Gayheart, Robert Englund, Tara Reid, Joshua Jackson, Natasha Gregson Wagner, Michael Rosenbaum, Danielle Harris, John Neville, and Loretta Devine.
		Urban Legend is based on the premise that a killer is using the methods of death described in certain urban legends (such as the fatal mixing of cola and Pop Rocks) as a means to kill his victims.
		Natilie on the other hand saw a picture in the urban legends encyclopedia that perfectly mirrored the so called "suicide note" on the wall, and she is now totally convinced this is a serial killing.

		The latest addition to this tired genre is the third generation, B-list horror dynasty wannabe, "Urban Legend," a movie that is scary for all the wrong reasons.
		It is as if she was badly frightened as a child and then (another urban legend!) her face froze that way.
		"Urban Legend" has been stocked with plenty of pop culture references that are designed to make the audience think that this is another witty, self-referential scary movie.

	Urban Legend Movie Review
		However, these urban legends soon become reality when a killing spree is unleashed on the unsuspecting students of Pendleton U, and students are dispatched in gruesome reenactments of famous urban legends.
		And what is probably the kiss of death for "Urban Legend" is that it quickly degenerates into the epitome of what "Scream" poked fun at-- the cheesy slasher movie populated by stock characters and held together by a flimsy plot that defies logic.
		"Urban Legend" was filmed in Toronto at my alma mater, the University of Toronto, and so I found it interesting to see my old hangouts in a different light-- especially seeing an axe murderer stalking the halls of the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Business.

	Urban legend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Urban legends are a kind of modern folklore consisting of stories often thought to be factual by those circulating them (see rumor).
		Other urban legends might better be called "widely dispersed misinformation", such as the erroneous belief that you will automatically pass all of your college courses in a semester if your roommate kills him/herself [1].
		The first known urban legend is probably that told by the Roman author Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historia (ix, 25).

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Urban Legend
		Our in house movie star was grinning maniacally as he danced up the movie aisle, his thumbs doing a Siskel and Ebert with great force and velocity.
		Urban Legend follows the template laid down by Scream; the face of the moment (the indubitably yummy Natasha Gregson Wagner) is the first to get taken down --- but you know she's going to die, 'cuz that's how things work nowadays.
		Urban Legend lets your mind do the work, which Cranky has always found to be more horrifying.

	Urban Legend movie series review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A couple of false alarms are thrown in, but the movie remains consistent in that only actions that mimic "urban legends" result in death.
		She finally decides on a project featuring a serial killer whose modus operandi is based on urban legends, myths where young college students are killed in hideous and gruesome ways.
		The suspense level in the film is fairly high (thanks in part of the surreal visual effects) and perhaps the cleverest aspect of the movie is that it dismisses the events in the first one as an urban legend (also the multiple choice involving guns at the end is amusing).

	Urban Legend Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		During the first 20 minutes of the movie, I actually groaned aloud at least six times.
		I thought I was watching a remake of the 80's movie Nightmares, then I thought I was seeing Clive Barker's Candyman again.
		If you haven't seen Nightmares, Candyman or Scream you would probably enjoy the beginning of the movie more than I, as it will all be new to you.

	Movies: Urban Legend - Freetime
		Perhaps the most unpleasant and gratuitously violent movie to come down the pike in years, the campus-slasher movie Urban Legend is aggressively, oozingly bad.
		Urban Legend, directed by Jamie Blanks from a Silvio Horta screenplay, ends up a 10th-generation photocopy of Scream dumbed down for the Dawson’s Creek set.
		The one urban legend in the film that has legs — the old rumor that Mikey from the Life Cereal commercials died from a lethal combination of cola and Pop Rocks candy — isn’t exploited to its tragicomic potential.

	Urban Legend movie review, In Film Australia
		These are urban legends, stories that evoke fear from people because a friend of a friend of someone you know has experienced one.
		Urban Legend milks that gimmick for all it’s worth, which is the best and worst reason to see this film.
		But this is escaping the fact that Urban Legend fails to complete even the most basic requirements for a scary movie: it just isn’t scary.

	Jared Leto: Urban Legend - Movie
		The plot of the movie is scary in itself.
		The movie is alternately gruesome and restrained in terms of violence, as one person will get there head hacked off, but the camera will only show glass shattering and a little blood.
		One of the urban legends in the movie is something where gang members turn off their flood lights, wait for someone to flash them, then turn around and follow them, usually killing them.

	Movie Info for Urban Legend on MSN Movies
		Campus legend has it that 25 years earlier Pendleton was the site of a mass murder by a demented abnormal psych instructor who killed six students and then himself.
		Urban legends are the subject of a course in American folklore taught by Professor Wexler (Robert Englund).
		When a series of bizarre deaths occur on the campus, assertive student Natalie thinks they are murders based on urban legends, but classmates Brenda (Rebecca Gayheart), ambitious journalism major Paul (Jared Leto), and practical joker Damon (Joshua Jackson) claim it's just a coincidence.

	JoBlo reviews the movie "Urban Legend"
		To the movie's credit, the reenactments of the urban legends were great, but apparently linking them together as a cohesive plotline proved too formidable a task.
		Writing from U.K., the Urban Legends over here are a lot different from the U.S. but a poor copy of the SCREAM plot is still annoying.
		It is okay, and the use of the legends is allright.

		Urban Legend, a movie that dropped off my radar with nary a blip when it came out.

		The urban legends in Jamie Blanks' hip debut film scripted by newcomer Silvio Horta are of the "Hey, Kids, don't try these with your friends" variety.
		One of the best things about "Urban Legend" is it plays fair in its designation of the killer and I was impressed with the killer's performance, as well, who has specialized in playing wusses up to now.
		"Urban Legend" earns its chills and chuckles legitimately and should still be going strong in theatres well past Hallowe'en.

	Movie Review: Urban Legend
		Review by Gregory D., Newton, MA Urban Legend"Urban Legend" is the first decent slasher film since "Scream," a stand-alone (hopefully) genre movie with everything that is basic to a slasher/horror film (brutal deaths, bloodbaths, unexpected killers and one distinguished horror actor or director in the credits).
		The story is the basic horror movie script: disobedient teens commit a crime, and a parka-clad killer wielding an ax creeps out of the shadows and slays them in horrible ways.
		The first urban legend is the high-beams, gas-station attendant warning "There's someone in the back seat!" The next come from the "åhook," where the boyfriend gets out of the car, ends up being hanged on top of the roof and when the young woman drives off, the boyfriend's neck breaks.

	1998 Urban Legend - Movie reviews, trailers, clips and stills (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		On an ordinary college campus, students begin to be killed off one by one in ways resembling various urban legends, twenty-five years after a covered-up dorm massacre.
		It seems there's a serial killer on the loose, who is making all of those urban legends come to life -- or more precisely to death.
		URBAN LEGEND is more concerned with amusing the audience than frightening it, which is good since it is rarely frightening but it is sometimes genuinely humorous.

		Soon, Natalie realizes that she and her friends are becoming part of the killer's own urban legend; the story of their own deaths.
		Movies such as "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Urban Legend" are a direct response to the above movies success.
		The movie starts with a young woman having her head cut off by someone that had been hiding in the backseat of her car.

	Movie Goodness Review - Urban Legend (1998)
		After the witnessing of the back seat urban legend killing, we are introduced to a group of preppy frat college students that begin talking about horror stories and urban legends.
		Since the movie's called Urban Legend that's how the killings are performed in this slasher-- the killer copying scary urban legends.
		Also has got plenty of Friday the 13th style killings, although the movie is actually worse than any Friday the 13th movie I've ever seen.

		Natalie and her friends (who include Jared Leto as a brash journalist, Rebecca Gayheart as her best friend, Michael Rosenbaum as the party-hardy boy, Joshua Jackson as a practical joker and Tara Reid as the sexy campus DJ) are all involved in the Folklore class being taught by Professor Wexler (Robert Englund).
		Take away the cheeky remarks and self-awareness and it's a throwback to the 1970s' rash of teen slasher movies, where sexually active teens are sliced, diced, and otherwise slaughtered in elaborate and ingenious ways.
		One by one, the group of students is killed off by the maniacal killer with gruesome effect; Parker dies by having draino poured down his throat, Damon is strung up from a tree, and Sasha is chased around the campus radio station with the microphone still on so everyone can hear her screams.

	Urban Legend (1998) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Plot Outline: A college coed suspects that murders around her campus are connected to Urban Legends.
		In the early 1980's, a series of low budget 'slasher' movies emerged in the wake of HALLOWEEN (1978) and "Friday the 13th" (1980), most of which were condemned as substandard imitators by critics and horror fans alike.
		Jamie Blanks' URBAN LEGEND is a case in point: Most reviews ran the gamut from harsh dismissal to faint praise, yet the movie is a visual treat, as creepy and atmospheric as any of the films which inspired it.

	Urban Legend
		Generally, the tyranist and I agree on these horror movies, but every once in a while, there comes something like Urban Legend, a movie where we got something totally different out of the film.
		If, however, you view Urban Legend as a particularly well put together sequel to I Know What You Did Last Summer, the skull loses some of its meaning.
		The filmmakers were clearly trying to make a movie as similar but original as possible and we felt like they succeeded just enough to stave of the extra skull.

		A New England College student becomes the victim of terror when her friends begin to die one by one based off urban legends.
		I know that Urban Legend is suppose to have this big twist at the end but it seemed to have forgotten it's place within the movie.
		I went to see this movie with several reservations: (a) it had not been screened for reviews; (b) it was based on yet another video game; and (c) I just didn't see how anyone could top "Slither".

		After the smash hit 'Scream', Hollywood fat cats were bound to start cashing in on teenage slash pics, and Urban Legend, from Sony Pictures, was the third in line.

		Granted, the urban legends make things interesting intially, but for the most part this is simply novelty.
		The cast is narrowed down to only the smart and the quick, and, of course, they have their fallings-out and childish moments of paranoia.
		Urban Legend is perhaps the first movie to enter the no-holds-barred arena of slasher movies, and the only purpose it serves is to turn the audience against the killer.
