...at least not on imdb, or the internet, far as I can tell? it's a DVD I picked up in one of my local charity shops.
film is called BAD TO THE BONE... it is not any of the 3 movies on imdb with that same title, judging by their plot synopses.
this one is some kind of family drama involving some African guys who re-locate to London
the dvd case and disc both seem adequate, not like pirated or home made efforts. no year of release but watching it I'd guess somewhere between 2003 and 2010?
Madonna's 'Like A Prayer' plays over the title credits, and elsewhere in the movie.
director is 'Chucks Mordi', whose sole directing credit on imdb is a 2013 film called THE RUBICON, which is definitely not this.
top billed actress is Jane Dodd. can't see anything in her 9 imdb acting credits that looks like this movie.
have I found a film that doesn't exist?! :bouncegiggle:
Berlin - Take My Breath Away and Coldplay - Clocks also get played over 2 scenes... would be amazed if they got clearance for these and the Madge tune
Years ago, I remember Rev Powell tried to get "Help, Help, the Globolinks"on IMDB and he said it was basically impossible. Maybe the company that made your DVD isn't around anymore and no one has picked up the rights.
I did some searching and found... well, I didn't find the movie, but I did find some info.
There was an entire wave of UK-African "immigrant films" in the 2000s between about 2002 and 2012, Nigerian films shot in London, Ghanaian dramas etc. Lot of them privatley financed or actually financed by churches. They were often given professional looking DVD released, but mostly sold out of places like markets, churches, hair salons, cultural shops, etc. There was never an "official" release or airing for most of them and they often used music without licensing.
