Cliff in Armour of God

edit

Hi all, Does anyone know the name of the cliff (or where it is) that Jackie Chan jumps off at the end of Armour of God? Thanks. - Akamad (talk) 02:24, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is she well-known in the English-speaking world, or rather not? --KnightMove (talk) 11:29, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW I've never heard of her, but then I would be hard-pressed to name any German pop singers. I'm pleased to see that she's won three Golden Ottos(!).--Shantavira|feed me 12:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, she is not. --Richardrj talk email 12:36, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's amazing that she finds time for a singing career in the midst of fighting off all those robots. Adam Bishop (talk) 16:16, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Fame is a good protection. They'll have to come up with a pretty slick cover-up to knock her off with all the press around. - Lambajan 16:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
She had a couple of minor hits in the UK five or six years ago. - fchd (talk) 19:26, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Children's television programmes.

edit

There used to be a children's programme out in the late 80's early 90's. There a creature who loved to grow in his greenhouse. A lady friend would come to visit him, weekly. They would plant a special seed inside a tree, with an owl who would watch over. When the plant was ready, the owl would hoot. 3 questions or riddles would have to be answered before they could remove the strange plant. Could you please tell me what this show was called??

Thank you

Three questions about THX 1138

edit
  1. What came first, the THX that makes the weird NEEEEEEEARRRRRRRNNNNNN on every Lucas film or this movie?
  2. WTH is a mindlock?
  3. in the sequence when his eyes roll back, what is he building, which he melts with the radiation thingy?

Thanks. Man I love REFDESK.--Editor510 drop us a line, mate 19:54, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1) Movie came first. 2) Mindlock is just that, a locking of the mind. I cannot remember exactly how it was to have worked. Sound maybe? 3) Droids of some sort, they look a lot like C3PO though. Remember kids, drug avoidance is a crime. 161.222.160.8 (talk) 22:11, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
