Going Too FarEver had one of your mates go too far? Back when I was a teenager I went to stay with a friend in the country. We took his dog for a walk in some woods - which was fun.
We came across a breeding pen for the local pheasant shoot - which was interesting.
But then my friend broke into the cages, grabbed a pheasant, strangled it and proceeded to throw it around, only managing to rescue it from his dog's jaws seconds before a gamekeeper turned up to see what the hell was going on. Now, that was a bit too far...

Catchag's post reminds me of this film....Classic "Mac-n-Me" post btw, funny as feck :D
www.imdb.com/title/tt0096087/ - "Blue Jean Cop", also known as "Shakedown"....anyone seen this? It reminds me of this QOTW perfectly...
It starts off in New York, to do with a lawyer being hired to work a case, and a load of dirty cops doing thier best to kill him, with one rough undercover cop protecting him. Considering that it was made back in '88, it was repeated on Channel 5 about six months back, and for the majority of it I was actually really enjoying it.
After about an hour and a half, it's getting close to the end and the lawyer'n'cop combo work out that the main player in this making a run for it for his private jet.
It's at this point that I realise the director must have been spiked.
The undercover cop picks up the lawyer in a cherry-red sports car (I think it was a Porshe). Considering this cop was meant to be the only decent cop there, I was like "how the fuck does he have one of those?". They burn it down the freeway to this airport, where you see the corrupt officer and his goons in his private jet leaning out of the plane door shooting at them. The cop surfs on the front of the car while killing the goons, and the car accelerates upto the open plane door (while the plane starts trying to take off). The cop leaps onto the plane and it takes off. You then see the shittest special effect ever of the plane flying past the Statue of Liberty, while this copper hangs with one hand out of the plane. With his other hand, he pulls out a GRENADE, pulls the key out with his mouth, chucks it in the plane and drops about 500 foot into the water, while the plane blows up in a terrible fashion. He swims out of the water and ends up right beside the lawyer, who are both hopping up and down shouting stuff like "Fuck yeah!" and looking all manly.
The credits come on, and I'm sitting there gobsmacked. They'd kept the film enticing but the director just went too far. Seriously, any budding directors out there should watch this film, it's a fucking education.
