8mm

Velvet finds out that the lawyer was pocketing $1million from the old man and shoots the lawyer with the crossbow. With his dying breath the lawyer shoots Velvet in the neck, and he dies too. While all this is happening, Nick Cage gets his gun and puts a bullet into the magazine, but the Machine and Gandolfini hear him and try to go for him. Cage beats Gandolfini so his gun goes under the lawyer’s car. While he’s getting it, the Machine attacks Cage, so Cage slashes his stomach with one of the S&M knives. He shoots the cuffs and runs away. Gandolfini chases him, but he gets away. He calls the old lady and tells her that the film is real and arranges an appointment. He goes and finds Gandolfini (who is at the place where they killed the girl). He tells Cage about it. Cage gets sick (as in disgusted) and kills Gandolfini with his bare hands. He turns up for the appointment but the old woman killed herself and left an envelope to him and the girl’s mother. Cage leaves and finds the Machine by calling hospitals and asking if there are any patients with abdominal wounds. Finds Machine. They fight. Cage kills him in a graveyard. Goes home…happily ever after.

Audio problem: Right after Max and Tom watch the two fake snuff films, Max mentions the record company's lack of interest. At one point his lip movements don't seem to match his words. (00:50:35)

Daniel Longdale: Because he could.

Question: Can someone please explain what a snuff film actually is? I've heard that they don't exist, and they are just a rumor, but can someone clarify all this?

Answer: A snuff film is a movie where someone is actually killed on film, where the intention is to sell the movie afterwards. There are several other instanses where people are shown murdered on film (news reports, the Zapruder film, dictatorships documenting executions, etc.), but if the purpose of making the movie is not commercial, it is not a geniune "snuff" film. FBI experts and other law agencies state that they have never seen a genuine "snuff", and that it is most likely just a rumor, especially since the concept of someone willingly selling evidence of their own crimes to strangers and remaining undetected for 30 years, is highly unlikely.
