Reviewing a pile of VHS tapes I found by a dumpster

Aw, **** yeah! My man! The most pimpin' of all the fops!

The Scarlet Pimpernel is a badass spy operating in revolution torn France, working overtime to put an end to the rampant executions staged by the chop-happy guillotien bois, led by the infamous Robespierre. The Frenchies hate this Pimpernel dude, and would love to put him on the block, but there's a problem; they've got no ****ing clue who he actually is. And they'd certainly never guess that he was actually a notoriously vapid aristocratic dandy who seemingly cares far more about parties and naughty limericks than daring heists and rescues. Add in some sex, violence, and intrigue aplenty, and you've got a timeless story with a bunch of film versions.

I've seen one of the versions before, but not this one. I liked this one, though. Maybe not super high budget, but the actors and actresses are skilled enough to bring the core story to life. The actor who plays the Pimpernel in particular is ****ing great.

Good times. Fun action, witty banter, and charm aplenty. Too bad this is only the first part of the story, the rest being on the other two tapes of a three tape set. And, lo, the person who dumped this beautiful pile of tapes of which I am reviewing did not deign to leave the whole set. Well, sink me.

After the **** shows of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and Dark City, this breath of fresh air is enough to put a sweet orexis of vitality back into my loins and mind alike.
