DrinkBoy says: I highly recommend this cocktail for anybody looking for a nice cool drink on a hot tropical day.The Singapore Sling is one of those wonderful drinks that we probably have all heard of, but perhaps have never had.One of the key, and often overlooked ingredients in this drink is Benedictine.While the resultant flavor is not overly predominate, it does add a certain flavor profile that would be totally missing without this secret ingredient.None dispute that the Singapore Sling was originally created by Mr.Ngiam Tong Boon for the Raffles Hotel in Singapore.To the left, is the thumbnail of a scanned in image of a recipe card straight from the Raffles Hotel in Singapore.Hotel who asked the waiter for it.Originally, the Singapore Sling was meant as a woman's drink, hence the attractive pink colour.Pour grenadine into the bottom of a collins glass, and fill with ice.I'd say it's more like...Ask the air stewardess to go easy on the pineapple juice!The Original Singapore S...The Original Singapore S...Trust me, this is the bomb.Don't be fooled by immitations.Sentosa Island, Singapore, was when I first experienced the delight deserving of the name Singapore Sling.Made properly, the drink is mysteriously refreshing on a hot sunny day.This is the proper way to make it and, yes, it's worth paying the extra money for the right ingridents.The Original Singapore S...Band

secluded villa.When they find him barely consious and bleeding, he doesn't speak, so they nickname him "Singapore Sling".Wounded by a gunshot and imprisoned in a nightmare that he may never escape, "Singapoe Sling" becomes the pawn in a deadly game of sexual domination, torture and murder.No one has tagged this product for Amazon search yet.Why not be the first to suggest a search for which it should appear?The easiest way to shoot video reviews.Very black tribute to Preminger's noir classic...Only the voiceover narration is in Greek.This incestuous pair of lesbians (technically bisexual) live in an isolated mansion playing bondage and sadomasochistic games with each other and with various "lucky" visitors who pass their way and who unfortunately all end up buried in the backyard.It is not a horror movie as such.Neither is it a thriller.It is a weird amalgam of film noir, comedy, bondage film, surrealistic art film and absurdist cinema.There is even a vocal version sung by Julie London midway through.This is what a sequel to Laura might be like in a parallel universe with a director and storyteller high on acid.On the other hand, fans of the earlier film will almost certainly not look kindly on Nikolaidis' creation.Sets are gorgeous despite its low budget origins.It is all very beautifully done.And that puts it in stark contrast to the activities that take place in this demented household.You are treated to close ups of the disgusting mess made when masturbating with soft, squishy fruit.There is a scene near the beginning where our psychotic duo happily place the entrails of their victim into glass bowls on their dinner table.Synapse has provided an optional set of English subtitles placed in dark grey blocks which can be superimposed over the originals.Not ideal and not recommended because they block out quite a bit of the picture.The gorgeous black and white photography is beautifully transferred.Viewers with sensitive constitutions may want to stay away."Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided to other Amazon.VHS ten long years ago, my love affair with this sugary piece of perversity remains unabated.Singapore Sling continues to break my heart in sixteen places in between bouts of raucous laughter and peeking behind my fingers.Singapore Sling has no real plot.The male interloper, later dubbed "Singapore Sling" by his captors, is unlucky enough to have wound up on the doorstop of this house of horrors.The film never tells us.Singapore Sling will always hold a special place in my heart as I was the creator of the Unofficial Singapore Sling Web page back in the mid 1990s.It was through Nikolaidis incredible generosity as he encouraged me in my baby steps in cyberspace that I learned just how important the Internet would become in my own special line of cinematic research.Nikolaidis is best known as a director of TV commercials in his native Greece, although he directs feature films from time to time.Shot in 30 days on a shoestring budget, Singapore Sling would shock and delight audiences throughout the world, its most notorious exposure being its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.The key to the film's success lies in its two female leads, Michele Valley and Meredith Herold."She still waits in the rain for Singapore Sling," Nikolaidis would sigh.That the film is finally on DVD is cause for rejoicing.The film is in anamorphic widescreen (1.The film is broken up into 16 generous chapters.The one other revelation the DVD release affords us are new subtitles.While filmed in the English language, there are moments of Greek (in voiceover courtesy of Singapore Sling).Like the cocktail for which it is named, Singapore Sling is a tasty libation made of three different types of gin that can render the victim immobile.The actors are totally committed and the story structure is very layered and intricate.This is something you will need to see more than once, and it is probably better appreciated once you are used to its extremities.Published 1 month ago by J.M, shock value, and gore for my taste.Published 2 months ago by M.See all 7 customer reviews...Be the first person to add an article about
