Has anyone heard anything about the release of the movie "Airbag" in the U.S.? I have looked on Amazon.com and all sorts of international movie sites and not found anything. Suggestions?

Hi Bufanda! Is "Airbag" a Spanish movie?? ..... I just looked it up at the Internet Movie Database and it says nothing about US release, only that it was released in Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, & Italy. Here are a couple of descriptions of the 1997 movie:
Quote:
This film hits the unsuspecting viewer like a ton of Spanish tiles. The story line is fairly simple (boy-meets-girl-boy-is-about-to-marry-girl-boy-and-his-friends-have-a stag party-boy-loses-engagement ring-up-a-hooker's-XXX-boy-has-to-get-the-ring-back).The film races on at incredible speed through the northern Spanish countryside and there´s a great mix up with drugs and prostitutes and machine gun toting bad guys. The film has some things speaking for it. There are some truly memorable comic scenes. The "Russian Tortilla" scene, for example, is fabulous. There are also some funny cameos, some appear only for a minute and Rossy de Palma appears only on a photo. However, the film tends to sag a bit at the end. It's a film to see after having a couple of beers.
Quote:
A hallucinogenic three day trip through the Vasco country side (Spain). Juanma Ulloa helmed this little jewel of filming. The characters are quite odd, grotesque and weird, but must of all: FUNNY. Drugs, religion, sex, soccer and a very awkward rivalry between Spaniards and Portugese are the principal elements of this rich palette of European cinema.


DARN! If I'd known I would have seen it in Spain last month! Looks INTRIGUING!

Saludos, MadridMan

Airbag is such a crazy and irreverent movie!! There're lots of idiomatic jokes ( difficult to understand if you're not very fluent in Spanish) but the roles of Pazos (Manuel Manquiña) and the groom's father (Karlos Arguiñano, the famous basque cook) are great.
