The last thing I saw was the movie Sprung (1997), which is
nothing to do with some recent TV series that stole it's
name. The pre-recorded Trimark VHS tape actually clips off
the last minute of the credits. I saw there was 13 minutes
of trailers at the beginning of the tape, then a 108 minute
movie, apparently using a 120 minute tape, cut off the end
during the credits and then the VCR automatically rewinds
the tape when it plays to the end, and no difference with
repeat tries.
This is some bad engineering by Lionsgate - Trimark! It's
conceivable that this ex-rental tape broke near the end of
the tape and the video store repaired it, but I doubt it.
It's a Black romantic comedy with sometimes funny banter
and their best friends do what they can to wreck their
romance.
