From Sumo Ring to Devil Spring
Remember Kotonoryu? He was the massive 25-stone Sumo wrestler Peter tackled during a training session, and much to everyone's surprise, managed to last a whole round. Simon's most unforgettable memories of the expedition to Japan were his hot sand bath in Beppu and improving his handicap at a golf clinic. As for Sarah - it's not every day you go for a walk and end up boiling an egg in a hell pool!

Lago - a small frontier town in the American southwest. A mysterious and laconic stranger rides into town and within minutes has killed three men who provoke him into a fight. Terrified of the gunslinger, yet even more afraid of a gang who intend to wipe out the town, the townspeople beg the stranger to become Sheriff - little realising that this is just the start of their descent into hell.
Clint Eastwood 's second film as director is a taut revenge Western, in the style of the spaghetti Westerns that brought him to fame.
