anagram help

i've been set by a friend of deciphering this anagram:

hurt after shave gun

it is a film title, but how many letters and words there are in the film is unknown. im guessing there is at least one "the" in there though...

any help? please? :)

Re: anagram help

As this is a task set by a so called friend, I think it would be churlish of members of this forum to make your life easier and give you the answer. :nono: :PP:

Of course you will post the answer when you find out so the rest of us are put out of our misery :dunce: :D

Re: anagram help

Hmm, wonders if there is a clue in that the anagram is posed by a member of the female persuasion, and thus the type of film they might prefer :scratch:

Re: anagram help

i am beginning to think more and more that it is saturday night fever, and she got the word wrong. well thats what im gonna say anyway :)

Re: anagram help

You can make at least the following 10 letter words from it
. Aftershave
. Guarantees
. Unsaturate
. Nervatures
. Restaurant
. Hearthrugs

None of which helps i'm afraid

Re: anagram help

Online anagram engines were not much help even when hinted - I thought perhap it was "avengers" or "savage".

Re: anagram help

Try this little engine - Couldn't find the film personnally far too many combinations!

Maybe it's not a film after all, but a motto instead.

Re: anagram help

Are you sure it's an anagram?

Hurt after shave gun - could mean a gun that sounds like a word for shave followed by a word for hurt...

Oooh that's deep. The little hamsters tuning the wheels in your grey matter must have run out of puff after that. :confused:

Cheek of it :D

I do cryptic crosswords and it's the first thing I saw when I read Dave's post, hence my query.

Re: anagram help

naw, i think its an anagram. i am now 90% sure it is saturday night fever, and she was just being evil to me. there's nothing else it could be...

Re: anagram help

THE RAVAGERS FUN HUT

Or is that Stuart's shed :rofl:

This is about as refined a search as you can get - I don't think it's possible to solve the anagram on it's own without other clues, unless you're a film buff.

You watch - it'll either be a Bollywood film or some obscure foreign art house film.

I've been trying on and off but no joy :(

It'd better not be a wind up.

Re: anagram help

I'd forgotten about this.

Dave, your friend must know the answer. If she wont listen to polite persuasion and tell you the answer, then I suggest torture. :angel:

Or pehaps whe would feel sorry for you if she know you were going to get red repped for not telling us the answer :disturbd: :erm: :p:

With the power of your gold bar, perhaps you should threaten Dave too :erm: :p:

Of course, if anyone out there does have a couple of spare brain cells to put to good use and tell us the answer, I'm sure we'd be very grateful with greenies ;)
