An Australian who had his nose bitten off in a violent argument over the merits of the latest Bruce Willis blood-and-guts feature film Sin City appeared in a Bathurst court on Monday along with his alleged attacker.
The 20-year-old was outside a cinema in the New South Wales country town when he got into a fight with another man over the quality of a film that some say has set new standards for violence and depravity.
He had his nose reattached in Sydney, 200km away.
The pair face charges of assault, affray and offensive behaviour over the July incident.
Sin City includes scenes depicting castration, murder, torture, decapitation and rape.
”It will be a difficult case because each defendant is also a victim of the other’s attack,” police prosecutor Sergeant Brett Donaghy told the court. — Sapa-DPA
