80-90s movie-like music video about betrayal in XVIII-army field camp

Solved!

May i ask about a music video (not sure but probably it was it)? I watched it in first half of 90s on TV. It was European or US, i don’t remember neither music style nor any singer or musician shown – it was completely like a movie

I remember a scenes in field tent camp of army of victorian epoch, (i remember it as napoleon but not sure why). Tents were staying near the woods. Leads welcomed girls in their tents, and in the night (which looked as not very late evening – it wasn’t dark), one girl came out with a torch giving a signal to someone in the woods that leads are resting. She was without pants with hair down there, yep that’s a detail i’m pretty sure in, sorry. Sortly a man came out of that tent, tried to down her torch with his hand, but he already understood what she did.

Very interesting to know what it was. Please try to identify.

an 80-early 90s movie, probably an action or thriller, with a person wearing a mask (without a face?)

I Don't Know the Name... (unsolved movies)

I watched this movie in first half of 90s. I remember it as similar to action movies of these days like robops or running man, but don’t remember why exactly. It was probably US B-movie. I watched it in translation, so don’t remember original language. I remember it was focused on man wearing mask to cover whole its face, he’s been a bad guy, an antihero.

The scene i remember. A woman got kidnapped by bad guys, they were sitting by big table with man wearing a mask sitting in table head. They’ve put woman on the table and forced to dance and take her clothes off. She started and tried to be strong, even tried to smile probably. The man with a mask tried to clap with his hands slowly and accurately and was saying a rhythm – “ho-ho… ho-ho… ho-ho”.

Very interesting to see this movie again, to find what it was about. Please help me to find it.

 

~80-90 movie with a scene of broken elevator cutting woman in a half when people tried to get out

Solved!

I watched this movie on TV in second half of 90s, don’t remember if whole movie was about the situation with elevator or only its part. Probably it’s been a thriller. US/Canada or EU. I don’t remember original language – watched in translation.

The scene i remember – several people got trapped in the elevator in a big building, waited inside for a while, and when tried to get out (opened doors), a woman didn’t get out in time and was halved by elevator starting to fall down. I remember how elevator was hanging for a moment on her body and she was screaming.

I’ve checked few elevator horror movies, but didn’t find it. It also could be an episode of some series. Please try to find it.

~90-2000 movie, detective about boy finding a truth about his father(?) suicide

I Don't Know the Name... (unsolved movies)

I watched this movie on TV in first half on 2002, i remember it looked matching those years, so not older than 80s. It was detective-like, West-European or US/Canada – not sure, i can’t tell it’s original language – watched in translation. I’m searching for this movie quite long without luck, so started to think it could be an episode of some series too.

It’s a story of a teenage boy whose father(?) committed suicide and some old woman (his grandmother?) told that his father is now in purgatory. I remember city backgrounds, but the family lived in fine apartment or most likely private house (i probably remember scene on attic). Boy wasn’s sure why his father did that and started to look for a truth in a detective style. Finally he has found that his father was seen along with his male partner in his cabinet (making love, sorry for my english) and committed suicide exactly because of being noticed (mid-1900 times or earlier?), and the old woman now told boy, as he now knows, that his father actually not in purgatory but in hell because of this.

Maybe this wasn’t the end but i can’t remember anything more.

The movie was very atmospheric, i liked they way it’s been filmed at that time. I was ~10 years old.

Please help me to find it.
