Plot

A brother and sister that are employees at a diamond mineshaft company stumble upon the discovery of a legendary diamond, the "White Fire", and a band of criminals set out to take it from them.

Critical Reception

In 2015, the film was featured on an episode of Red Letter Media's Best of the Worst, together with Future War and The Jar. The hosts criticized what they saw as frequent incestuous overtones present in the film, referring to it as "poorly disguised fetish porn".[5]

gollark: This is why AMD was basically irrelevant for many years until Zen back in 2017 or so.
gollark: Each pair of "cores" shares a bunch of resources, so it isn't really as fast as an actual "core" in other designs, and I think their IPC was quite bad too, so the moderately high clocks didn't do very much except burn power.
gollark: See, while the FX-4100 is allegedly a fairly high-clocked quad-core, this is misleading. AMD's Bulldozer architecture used "clustered multithreading", instead of the "simultaneous multithreading" on modern architectures and also Intel's ones at the time.
gollark: (as this is based on a tower server and not a rack one, you might not even have ridiculously noisy fans in it!)
gollark: Anyway, I don't think this computer is worth £300, inasmuch as you could buy an old server with a Sandy Bridge era CPU for let's say £120, buy and install an equivalent GPU (if compatible, you might admittedly have some issues with power supply pinout) for £100 or so, possibly upgrade the RAM and disks for £50, and outperform that computer with £30 left over.
