Paul W.S. Anderson gained a fair bit of notoriety in his native England when he directed the ultra-violent Shopping () (which he also wrote), starring Jude Law and Sean Pertwee in a story about thieves who steal by ramming a car into storefronts. The film was banned in some cinemas in England, and became a direct-to-video slightly edited release in the United States.
Shopping () allowed Anderson to get the chance to direct Mortal Kombat (), an adaptation of the hit video game, which showcased his directorial trademarks - visually stunning scenery and quick-cut editing. The film did well enough for him to choose his next project, which was Soldier () with Warner Bros., with Kurt Russell in the lead. Unfortunately, Russell decided at the time to go on hiatus, pushing the release date of that film into In the meantime, Anderson directed Event Horizon () from a script by Philip Eisner, which featured Anderson regulars Sean Pertwee and Jason Isaacs. The science fiction/horror film, a Gothic horror version of Solaris (), was stylish and scary, but was critically panned and did not do well in the box office, which Anderson blamed on studio-enforced cuts to the story. (Anderson has promised a Director's Cut, though none has been announced as of yet).

Paul W.S. Anderson is my favourite movie director and I&#;ve already listed my 10 favourite movies from him. Now, I decided it would be fun to just list some random bits of fun trivia about the man behind such movies as Mortal Kombat, Event Horizon, Pompeii and the Resident Evil film series&#;
#1. The Brits really hated Shopping
Anderson is no stranger to critical derision but you&#;d be surprised to find out how far back Anderson&#;s bad relations with the movie-critic crowds goes. Now to be fair, his very first movie Shopping was a succes at the Sundance Film Festival in and Roger Corman liked it so much that he even picked up the American distribution rights (Anderson repaid the favour years later with a remake of Corman&#;s Death Race ). But the Brits tore Shopping apart&#;
Not only was the film derided for its seeming glorification of teen violence and Anderson&#;s budding attempts at action scenes (on a TV-movie budget, mind you) the film found itself banned in parts of the UK because it was feared that the film might inspire teens to engage in the act of ram-raiding (crashing a car into a store in order to rob it). It seems almost ridiculous how bad the reception for Shopping was back in the day, especially since now the film is actually regarded as one of Anders
