THE HOLLYWOOD BOYS CLUB recaptured the video charts this week, ousting Michelle Pfeiffer and her Dangerous Minds after three weeks at No. 1. Fighting its way to No. 2 its first week on video, Mel Gibson's Oscar-nominated Braveheart (currently playing on 411 theater screens) didn't have the strength to keep rubber-faced loon Jim Carrey and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls from nesting in the top spots on both the rentals and sales charts. Rounding out this week's show of force, The Prophecy and Clockers loom outside the top 10 (at Nos. 16 and 18, respectively), promising lots of chart activity in the weeks to come.
