Monkey business . . .

As a former film marketer for Paramount and Universal, and a member of the anti-piracy committee of the Motion Picture Association, I guarantee this movie will be...
Our new bass player El Azteca has been training with famous Hollywood actor Steven Seagal, learning the Ancient Oriental Art Of Instantaneous Death. There isn't a wrestler alive that can beat El's kung fu, so we have nuthin' to worry about. And if someone actually makes it all the way past the rest of the band to me, well, I got a shiny new walker that I'd love to plant upside someone's noggin.
I received from my friend in Thailand. He sent two picture from the movie "BOTB". One of them is from the set. The other one from the final scenes. but we are sorry these pics without Seagal !!
He wrote:
"The film has got some good action, and Seagal has still got it when it comes to the fighting, he is not quite so nimble now and the stunt doubles were busy on this one!!"
I liked this !! Everything is good I hope !! :)
