Two kinds of people

As Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly says, “You see in this world there is [sic] two kinds of people my friend: those with loaded guns and those who dig.” — a great line from a great movie.

I created this snippet using SnapZ Pro X to grab the segment and Xilisoft Video Converter to convert it to a format that WordPress accepts. Unfortunately, WordPress, then reformats this video to Flash and ignores the original scale factor, as a result the WordPress video looks off as you can see.

Hot Fuzz - Lethal Weapon meets Miss Marple

There are elements of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, The Matrix, Startsky and Hutch, and other famous action movies.
