Not exactly stiff competition, but Severance is a film I enjoy very much. Tim McInnerny is, as you'd expect, hilarious in it. One of the things I appreciate the most is the subtext about the arms industry being completely irresponsible and how it is there if you want to see it and read it as a critique of the system, you can ignore it and have fun. Another thought: is the title a pun on the different meanings of the word? Severance noun 1. the act of severing or the state of being severed. 2. a breaking off, as of a friendship. 3. Law. a division into parts, as of liabilities or provisions; removal of a part from the whole.

I'd forgotten about that one, but thought it was a multi-meaning title with references to the ruthless corporate world where contracts, whether between companies or individuals are severed, limbs being severed from bodies during the film and, as you pointed out, the company-owned prison camp.

An Eye For An Eye (1980?, Steve Carver) After witnessing his partner's fate at the hands of a mysterious enemy Chucky strikes his own path on his quest for the truth. If this soundeth formulaic ... it is. Shaft tuts from the corner. Then I must have blinked as it turns into a budding romance. Bizarre film. For all the left field social realist musical zombie flicks that I have seen Norris' canon contains some of the strangest juxtapositions witnessed yet. And I like Jodorowsky!! Watched on vhs. 4:3 at that.
