What movie am I thinking of?

[SimonWoodstock]

This is kind of vague, but it has been a while since I saw the movie.

It is about two guys who are brothers or friends and shoot rifles for sport (olympics, etc.) I think they are from Czechoslovakia or Ukraine or somewhere like that. Anyway some war breaks out and they end up on different sides. I guess the protagonist discovers his friend is on the other side when they pull a bullet out of a civilian that was shot in the street and he recognizes it. I think the bullet was black. Then he goes to see him by sneaking into the enemy camp, and his "friend", the antagonist, saw him sneaking in. They have a dialog, then he sneaks back out of the camp.

That's about all I remember. I imagine it was released in the mid, possibly early, 90's. I doubt it was ever a "major" movie.

I remember watching it a while back and it has been driving me crazy. I have been wanting to see it again.

2 movies come to mind.

The Pianist
Four Feathers

[SimonWoodstock]

It's neither of those. Thanks for the reply, though. If you think of any others it may be, post them and possibly save my sanity!

I am wanting to say the war was a civil war, or a small war between the neighbor country. But it is also very possible it could have been WW2.

One thing that may remind someone of it is in the begining, they are shooting olives of weeds or sticks or something with their rifles.

I think it's called Shot Thru The Heart...it's based on a true story. They were friends, not brothers.

[SimonWoodstock]

YES! That is it! Thanks! I seriously owe you one. Thanks, again.

Anytime! I'm an endless source of useless movie trivia :p

Well, after finding out that Netflix doesn't have it and finding it on Amazon, I am really hoping Netflix will consider getting it.

Check this out. This is where IMDB.com sent me when I click on the dvd icon.:thud:

Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/offer-listing/B00005NGVU/ref=dp_pb_a//104-5764136-1871153?condition=all)

EDIT: Even stranger, I looked for the vhs on amazon and it's $4.97 new, $2.75 used. That is quite a price gap. I think I will just watch the vhs if I am unable to find it elsewhere.

*phew* What a joke!

I ordered an out-of-print book from Amazon for like $3 once that was offered for $35 somewhere else. I don't think so...haha

BTW I found this photograph on your website. I'm inspired to make a turtle tank using this waterfall/overfall ledge idea.


I'm a photographer and I would give anything to have the resources you do for subjects to shoot. I live in Florida...we have...palm trees. Blech!

Wow, I almost forgot about that website. I have tons of pics I could update it with. Rosco probably weighs 10x that now.
