May I be so immodest to recommend my article on interethnic male bonding? Christopher Ames, "Restoring the Black Man's Lethal Weapon: Race and Sexuality in Contemporary Cop Films" _Journal of Popular Film and Television_ (20:3) Fall 1992, 52-60. This article discusses several of the films Nick Chapman expressed an interest in: Lethal Weapon I-III, Die Hard and Shoot to Kill. Also, I would recommend Peter Lehman's book on masculinity in film, _Running Scared_ (Temple Press) ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message.
