Anybody know what movie this was? I've been trying to find it. A "witch" is tied to a large wagon wheel, the wheel is set on fire and rolled down a hillside. I think it was made in the 1970s. Anybody know what it was?
shareIN Cry of the Banshee a woman is tied to a wheel than set on fire. ALthough she is never rolled down a hill.
shareHmmm. In the movie I saw the wheel was sent down a hillside
shareragemanchoo, the film you are looking for is ´The Devonsville Terror´ (1983), directed by Ulli Lommel. A witch is tied to a burning wheel and rolled down a hill.

Thanks Wolfwinner. And that date fits the overall look of the film, from what I remember: Late 70s/early 80s.
....
Scrambling around trying to find a clip of it somewhere. I wonder what channel I saw it on? I think it might have been Sci-Fi. Its been at least 8 years.

More cheesy fanboy blather from Wolf Boy. *Sigh*
shareBut where would we be without Wolfie's precious nuggets of wisdom? You ran him off the boards and now he won't return!
shareApparently, DannyK has also run him off the Guardian boards. Gee, it doesn't take much to send that guy packing, does it? Hmmm, he's unbearably arrogant and yet he turns into an abject coward whenever the chips are down for him.... Who knows? Maybe Wolf Boy is, in fact, French!
shareWhat is Wolfie's opinion on the whole Polanski/Nonce scandal? Did he ever speak on it? He doesn't seem to have any comments outstanding....
shareI think Wolfie would forgive Polanski anything. He does seem to do a lot of special pleading on his behalf regarding his, er, "nonce" tendencies.
Indeed, if you show the slightest hint of disapproval regarding Polanski's erstwhile noncery and perpetual fugitive status, Wolf Boy will just say something like "don't you have any abortion clinics to picket?", and then accuse you of being a prude, a religious nut, an anti-Semite, and/or cite the rampant culture of noncery that allegedly exists within the Roman Catholic priesthood as somehow worse than Polanski's own criminal act of coerced child buggery back in 1977. (See! Even priests do it, and they've got the entire Roman Curia behind them -- they make Polanski look good in comparison! Nyah-nyah!-nyah!)
You know, it's usual juvenile bait-and-switch trick with Wolfie. He can't own up to anything apparently -- and so he takes refuge in glaring logical fallacies, irrelevant beside-the-point arguments, shallow amoral rationalizations, and sneering adolescent put-downs.
Although it does warm the cockles of one's heart to seem him valiantly defending the world's homosexuals against the depredations of anyone who thinks Fassbinder dreary and overrated.

Oh I see, so that's why he was getting so het up on the Fassbinder boards and ducking questions quicker than David Cameron on the issue of Prisoners' voting rights.
Indeed. With his considerable skills of evasion and subterfuge, maybe Wolfie should consider becoming Cameron's new press spokesman.
Reminds me of the Fernando Rey character in The French Connection -- every time you think you've got him cornered, he just slips through your fingers!
