In the 1980's-90's FASA Star Trek roleplaying game, the TOS-style Klingons were explained as being part of a lower caste that was comprised of mixed-race Klingon/human warriors.

It's amazing — I think one could safely say that "most" car commercials are filmed in downtown L.A. (Bunker Hill specifically), since the actual percentage is somewhere between 51% and 99%.

Dakota Fanning just destroys in that film. A pre-teen who is driven to alcohol (and possibly other age-inappropriate vices) because of the mental strain of her powers. And yet she still manages to come off as more heroic than tragic. What a great character and performance.

Upvote on the David Arnold score. There are a few cues where he definitely channeled John Barry, in the best possible way. I thought he made some really great choices in that film.

Hey, he had to go UNDERCOVER at a circus, and be able to walk amongst the baddies without being made. In that light, the clown disguise was an inspired choice!

You literally can't go wrong remaking The Wages of Fear. That, Sorcerer, and Vertical Limit are three of my favorite films.

The James Bond Series

Agreed, For Your Eyes Only is the leanest of the Moore films, to its credit. Still holds up well because of its Cold War plot and really good stunt work.

I just hated that they used Texas Hold 'Em because that game just seems so trendy, and…lower class.

Gahh, you're right! I knew Moore used a Rolex at first, but then he switched. Only he switched to Seiko for the rest of his series.

Bond sported an Omega going back to at least Roger Moore (except for that one time when Moore used a digital watch, but that was made at a time when people still thought those were a pretty neat idea). But I don't know which model was used.

@Janet That is fantastic. My dad was a champ at it, and I would later inherit the crown. My mom was a teacher at that time, and she would sometimes ask me to record movies or programs for her to use in class. Of course, I would meticulously edit around the commercials as usual. One time she told me that the class…

Mine was also Moonraker, and I will remind everyone that whatever we think of it now, audiences at the time loved it (including mine). That film was a huge financial success, as I recall.

Connery tells the bikini-clad woman he is with at the pool to go away so he can speak to an American agent. I believe he uses the words "Man Talk" and then slaps her in the ass with the conventional ass-slapping sound effect.

A lot of anime is pan-national anyway. Caucasian (and other non-Japanese) characters are very common — albeit often with very Japanese names. The original Ghost in the Shell is merely one such example of this.

Upvoted for Young Guns II, one of those rare sequels that is better than the original. (And the original had a couple of classic scenes itself!)

Around the time that movie came out, I remember reading an article by (I believe) Pamela Des Barres where she had visited the set to interview some of the cast and crew. She talked to the director as he was reviewing dailies of the Vanilla Ice stage performance, and she said, "I watched as Mr. Ice reached into his…

You're so right, I completely misread your original post. Sorry!

It's definitely not a fast-action cop show, so it'll disappoint those who are looking for that.
