"Fallen Angels" is an American TV series release in Brazil on VHS in the 90's with three short stories:
1) Original Title: "The Professional Man" The homosexual Johnny Lamb (Brendan Frser) is a discreet elevator operator that works to the gay gangster Herman Charn (Peter Coyote) as a coldblooded killer. When he meets the gay bartender Paul (Bruce Ramsay) that works in Charn's bar, Johnny has a crush that will affect his relationship with his boss.
Directed by Steven Soderbergh, it is a strange film in the gay underworld. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "O Matador de Programa" ("The Scort Killer")4
2) Original Title: "Red Wind" While drinking a beer late night in a bar in front of his apartment building, private detective Philip Marlowe (Danny Glover) witness a murder. Police Detectives Copernik (Dan Hedaya) and Ybarra (Miguel Sandoval) interrogates him and soon he stumbles upon the wealthy Lola (Kelly Lynch) that discloses a complicated case of infidelity.
Directed by Agnieszka Holland, the plot has a poor storyline and screenplay and Danny Glover miscast, in the role of an attractive man that breaks the heart of Kelly Lynch and Valeria Golino. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Um Gole de Perigo" ("A Sip of Danger")
3) Original Title: "Fly Paper" The socialite Sue Hambleton (Kristin Minter) leaves her wealthy family to live with the gangster Babe McCloor (Michael Rooker) in 1929. After a long time, her family is contacted by Sue asking for money and the Private Detective Continental Op (Christopher Lloyd) is sent to investigate and deliver the money to Sue. However he finds that it was a scheme from Sue's acquaintances Peggy Carroll (Laura San Giacomo) and her boyfriend Joe Wales (Peter Berg) to take money from Sue's family. His further investigation finds a murder case to be resolved.
"Fly Paper" is a good episode of "Fallen Angels", with a plot with many twists. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Debaixo de Rajadas" ("Under a Hail of Bullets")
My vote is six for the whole VHS.
Title (Brazil): "Crimes Perfeitos" ("Perfect Crimes")
