I just looked through a vidmag from UK. I saw a film with Van Damme called
A.W.O.L. I wonder if that is the same as Lionhart, as it was called here in
Sweden. The story:
Brother gets burnt up by drugdealers. The Kicker is in the foreign leigon. 
He 'escapes' when he learns about the brothers fate. He tries to help 
the bother's wife and kid. Bad guys hunt Van Damme who fights och kicks in
fights for a rich 'lady'. And everyone lives happy for the rest of their lives.

Is that the same movie? Here in Sweden does the movie distributers change the
english title to a new english title to make it more exiting.

Actually, Schwarzenegger is one of the very, very few actors who almost
completely controls what films he makes.  To a first order approximation,
if Arnie wants to make it, someone will say yes, no matter what it is.
He could make a film version of "Jude the Obscure", with him in the
title role, if he wanted to.  (If he wanted to make a $100 million 
film version of "Jude the Obscure", maybe not.)  "The Phone Book",
starring Arnold, might actually get financed.  (I wonder what the rights
to the phone book would cost.  Of course, you'd also want to purchase
the rights to the yellow pages at the same time, in case you wanted to
make a sequel.)

But Schwarzenegger is too smart for that.  He's a man who has a very
good, realistic view of his own talents and capabilities.  He knows
that he does action films well, and has a flair for self-depricating
humor, so those are the elements he likes to see in a film.  And that's
part of the reason he doesn't make more films.  He knows that his power
to make the films he wants rests solely on the fact that every one of
his past few films has been a major hit.  As long as he chooses carefully
and keeps producing hits, he'll keep getting $15 million plus salaries
and remain one of the world's most popular actors.  So far, Schwarzenegger
is one of the best counterexamples to William Goldman's famous dictum
about Hollywood - "No one knows anything".  The evidence of the last
five years suggests that Schwarzenegger at least knows how to choose hit
films for himself.  (Of course, maybe he's just been lucky . . .)

I've seen it (or at any rate a very cut version of it)--in many ways it
is better.  It is certainly much more faithful to the original script
than the English-language version, which changed a fair amount of
dialogue.  The Spanish version did rearrange a few scenes though.  I'm
curious to see the complete (I hope) version that MCA (?) is releasing
on videocassette this fall.

Adrian Paul as the Highlander (he was in the second series of the "War of

Richard Moll as Slan Quince, his adversary  (he played Bull Shannon on

The theory that time can be seen as a series of parallel lines is beginning
to gain credence in physics circles, thus what Old Biff does is alter and
alternative universe and return to his origin universe.  Otherwise what   
would happen is that OB could not return to his origin universe becuase by
changing the past the 'broken down old man' no longer exists.

Even so it was a great movie.

   Since this thread started, I have been trying to remember the name of one of
my favorite war movies. If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

   It starts with a green pilot arriving at the front during WWI. The squadron 
leader turns out to be his sisters fiancee, and somewhat of an idol of the new
pilot. The high casualty rate has turned the squadron leader, and for that matter
most of the squadron into alcoholic wrecks, something he does not want his fiancee
to find out about. Another main character is "Uncle", an older pilot, and seemingly
the only sane person of the lot. A good story, with very convincing acting and
beautiful scenes of dogfights.

   As I recall, there is a "remake" where the action takes place on the ground,
though still during WWI. This one might be a TV-movie, and is certainly not as good 
as the other.

   They are based on a novel, but I fail to remember which version that is about.
As the "flying" version is the oldest, I guess that is it.

I believe she's the only actress to have made a movie in every decade

"Land of song, said the warrior bard,           Jim Heath
Though all the world betrays thee.
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard, (The Minstrel Boy)
One faithful harp will praise thee."         (Thomas Moore)
