The Prestige

Rival 19th-century magicians engage in a bitter battle for trade secrets. Tags: Storyline: Chung Ling Soo was a stage character created by William Ellsworth Robinson, a white man who disguised himself as a Chinese man to cash in on audiences' enthusiasm for the exotic. Robinson lived as Chung, never breaking character while in public. He died in March 1918, when a bullet-catch trick went wrong. There is doubt about his last words. They were either "My God, I've been shot" or "Oh my God. Something's happened. Lower the curtain." Either way they were both his last words and the first English he had spoken on stage in nineteen years.

Moving Violations

The goofy students of a remedial drivers education class find themselves butting heads with their abusive police instructors. Tags: Storyline: Nedra Volz was 76 years old at the time of filming.
