Did you try End of the road?Lihaas (talk) 13:34, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

As you would know if you'd actually read that article, it has no information on the number of copies sold. A pretty unhelpful response, then. --Viennese Waltz 08:29, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Whos this?

Can somone identify the gals in this video? Some may be random girls but I know for sure the first brown gal is famous in bollywood (should theoretically know it, but im lost) but can tell . I know its not Genelia D'Souza (though looks like hjer)Lihaas (talk) 03:43, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

The woman at 1:24 is Flávia de Oliveira. Dismas|^(talk) 05:14, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

The woman at 0:24 is Veronica Zemanova. And the woman at 0:31 is Muthu Mari. Is that the one that you're referring to as "the first brown gal"? Dismas|^(talk) 05:18, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

The woman at 2:11 is Shilpa Shetty. Do you need the names of any more? I saw Katie Holmes in there too. She was pictured with Tom Cruise. Dismas|^(talk) 05:21, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

I knew shilpa, but the other sounds like it, she certainly looks indian. (although google throws up some real wrerid pics, including of gods) thanks.Lihaas (talk) 13:29, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Red 1???

Hi all, one of my students was telling me about a film he saw called "Red 1". It's about the US involvement in Guatemala, and the burying of bodies in trenches or some other war atrocity. "Red 1" is presumably the English translation of the Chinese name, and sometimes these can be very different from the original release titles in the western world. I can't track it down - can anyone help? IBE (talk) 12:51, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

There was the World War II epic titled The Big Red One. It was an entertaining movie, but it wasn't about U.S. involvement in Guatemala in any way. Maybe there's been some confusion? Was the film he saw American-made, Chinese-made, or some other country? --Jayron32 13:08, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Not sure, but RED (2010) does at least touch on US involvement in Guatemala, and there was a sequel: RED 2 ... ---Sluzzelin talk 13:25, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm guessing it's RED, but I'm not sure. I was thinking that for a moment, but I didn't remember anything about Guatemala from when I saw it, so I just dismissed the idea. It sounded from the student's description like the whole movie was about Guatemala, but Chinese students aren't necessarily on the same wavelength as us. I would describe RED as "that Bruce Willis spy film." They don't seem to know who Bruce Willis is. IBE (talk) 02:53, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
