It's probably worth owning. Amazon and ebay both have it. Ebay has a cheap South Korean release (region free, but they can all be seen on VLC anyway), but it may not have the extras on it.
That could be it, and I'll have to check it out, but I don't remember the character wearing a mask. Does he only remove it at the end?
I thought it was more a classic R-rated shoot-em-up. I think there was also a scene with the guy and girl in bed.
I bet that's it, I'll find and watch it again, thanks!
I bet you're right, that it was one of those.
Bingo! I was sure it was Richard Thomas, but when I saw a list of his movies I decided it couldn't have been, because I didn't click through to IMDB's description of Final Jeopardy. The title didn't seem descriptive of the plot, but it probably must have been in a way I don't remember.
I've seen that, but I mean a different one. The plot literally goes in a circle, and nothing repeats if you watch it only once, but you find out there's really no beginning or end to it.
It wasn't German, more southern European/Slavic.
It looks like the old IMDB INTK board is back, but at a different site. I wonder if they can restore the old threads. I was there under the same handle and will reregister under it if I need to:

I already found GG back then, because it was all anyone could think of, but only knew about the first scene, so thanks for pointing out the second one.
What probably happened with my apparently false memory was that there indeed was a scene in some movie where they're sitting at a large round restaurant table, but I must have then conflated it with the scene with DVD, who was indeed sitting at a table, but a small one. Since you've seen so many and nobody else mentions what I thought I remembered, it must have never existed as I thought it had.
For years I had also been looking for a hilarious scene with the Three Stooges, where one of them was getting smushed into a closet by a big bald guy and the other two were taking turns throwing billiard balls at his head. They would bounce off it with no effect and I remembered him rocking his head back each time and cackling. But most of this was just in my fevered mind, and you no doubt know where it came from also - another Laurel and Hardy movie, with a girl actually in the closet.
Has anyone found anything out?
Aha. So it very well could be that DVD and Calvin adapted this idea, as they seemed to with the last part of their skit. But then again, you'd think that this "blink-and-you'll-miss it" scene would have been seen as a highlight of GG to begin with, for the general idea to have been so well-remembered and seen as worthy of emulation, as is the much longer soda fountain sequence. So it could also still very well be that the "real thing" does exist somewhere else...
I think we need help from someone with an "ask me anything about L&H" reputation to really get to the bottom of this, although you're miles ahead of me already! Your handle seems Germanic; did you get to see some of these as "Dick und Doof"?
