  In 1995, two 18-year-olds, inspired by Oliver Stone's extremely violent movie Natural Born Killers, went on a shooting spree in Louisiana. They killed one man and crippled Patsy Byers, a mother of three. In response, Byers sued Stone and Warner Bros. for making and distributing the film, alleging they \"knew or should have known that the film would cause and inspire people to commit (such) crimes.\" While the First Amendment would generally protect the free- speech rights of Stone and Warner Bros., the Louisiana Court of Appeals held that the defendants would be liable if Byers could prove that by producing and distributing the movie they intended to incite people to commit violent crimes. Perhaps it was such a video that inspired President Bush to challenge those attacking U.S. troops in Iraq to \"bring them on.\" That was three years ago, after he had declared major combat in Iraq ended and when only 65 U.S. troops had died.

The family of Patsy Byers, who was paralyzed from the neck down after being shot in a robbery by Sarah Edmonson in 1995, is suing Warner Bros., who released the film \"Natural Born Killers,\" as well as the director, Oliver Stone. The lawsuit is a potential public-relations disaster for Hollywood.

  Survivors include sisters Judy Jewell and Betty Barnett; five children, Billy Morris, Brenda Robinson, Lynn Thompson (Brian), Shirley (Tom Carey) and [Dorothy Jewell] (Robbie Riley); eight grandchildren, Andrea Cessna (Tristan), Misty Robinson (fiance Matt Bonar), T.J.

No film in recent decades has stoked as much controversy as Natural Born Killers. No film-maker, if his critics are to be believed, has quite so much blood on his hands as its director, [Oliver Stone]. In the eight years since its release, Stone's picture has been confidently linked to at least eight murders - from Barras and [Sarah Edmondson]'s wild ride, through the Texan kid who decapitated a classmate because he \"wanted to be famous, like the natural born killers\", to the pair of Paris students who killed three cops and a taxi driver and were later discovered to have the film's poster on their bedroom wall. David Puttnam (who had worked with Stone on 1978's Midnight Express) labelled it \"loathsome\". In the opinion of the Daily Mail, Natural Born Killers was simply \"evil\". If the media were looking for a fall guy, they found him in Stone. To his critics, he was a ready-made hypocrite: a rich kid who volunteered for Vietnam and then made Oscar-winning films (Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July) lambasting the war; a peace-loving Buddhist who freely admitted that movie violence was \"cool\". His film, too, was derided as hypocrisy in action:a supposed satire on screen violence that wallowed in two hours of stylised atrocity and then berated the viewer for getting off on it. Natural Born Killers was a murderous instruction manual. Before permitting the release of Natural Born Killers in 1994, the censors insisted that Stone strip a whopping 150 shots from the film. The new version restores them all, from a loving camera zoom through a bullet-holed hand to a shot of Tommy Lee Jones's severed head on a stick. The director concedes that on one level this makes for a more violent film. But he stresses that the restored segments are so over the top that they emphasise his satirical intent. In other respects, the director's cut plays much like the original: an exuberant shotgun wedding of the crass with the sophisticated that closes with an extended channel-surf through the hot media imagery of the day (OJ Simpson, the Menendez brothers, the Waco siege). Viewed from our lofty 21st-century vantage-point, it already seems something of a timeperiod piece: a snapshot of a specific era in US culture; a tenuous accessory to crimes that have been duly tried, sentenced and consigned to history.

The family of Patsy Byers, who was shot and later died of cancer, says [Oliver Stone]'s film triggered the attack on the Ponchatoula, La., convenience store clerk in 1995. The previous day, Hernando businessman William Savage was shot and killed at Producers Gin, west of Hernando. The lawsuit seeks damages from Stone and movie distributor Time Warner. Byers and Savage were shot by Sarah Edmondson, then 18, and her boyfriend, Benjamin Darras, who are now in prison for the shootings. Edmondson has said she and Darras had watched Stone's movie about a young couple who commit a series of murders.

[Patsy Byers] was paralysed from the neck down. She died two years later. Now her family is seeking $20 million to $30 million in damages - from filmmaker Oliver Stone and media giant Time Warner. They say [Sarah Edmondson] and her boyfriend were inspired by Stone's Natural Born Killers, a film they had watched repeatedly and obsessively. Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a decision by the Court of Appeal of Louisiana, giving the Byers the right to sue Stone and Time Warner, despite the free speech protections of the First Amendment of the U.S. constitution. Yes, Natural Born Killers is violent and provocative. It's also a brilliant send-up of the American cult of violence and the American cult of celebrity. I'm not a huge Oliver Stone fan - he's too overwrought for me - but he's a legitimate director and Natural Born Killers is his best work.
