Afraid not. The only memory I have is of the score being such a blatant ripoff of what Eric Clapton and David Sanbourne did in Lethal Weapon.

EJA

I remember seeing a movie many years ago on TV. It involved a family man who gets contacted by an assassin who tells him he's been hired by his own wife to kill him. Soon the two men meet, but the hitman is killed by persons unknown before he can divulge any further information. Subsequently the family man's wife is kidnapped and murdered. It eventually transpires that it's the work of a police detective with a grudge against the man for an accident wherein his son was crippled some years before. Can anyone help me with the title?


Wweyland

From years ago (perhaps 25 years) I remember a movie with 2 groups of Samurai (or perhaps some eastern soldiers) battling. The battle is lost for one side because their cannons get wet by rain. A soldier from the losing side (perhaps a general) embarks on a mission to find either new cannons or gunpowder that is "rain resistant". I might be misremembering this heavily.

Not sure if it was technically a movie, or instead perhaps a short film one-off. I think it was something we rented from the local video store; time frame would be late 80s or very early 90s. It was animated -- I recall the style being not traditionally "cartoony" -- and about prehistoric humans in some way. Memory insists that the main characters were a couple of children, possibly a brother and sister. I don't remember much else, aside from the setting being "rocky", the mood being weirdly desolate (like these kids were probably all on their own), and the ending being kind of weird ("transformative" in some way?; possibly a depiction of death, but I'm not really sure).

It's possible this doesn't actually exist, or that my brain is smashing together multiple pieces of media I once saw, but if anyone has any leads, I'd love to know something!
