I rented a video several years ago that was about a Russion tank crew that got separated from the other Russion tanks in Afghanistan. The Afghan rebels track the tank and the crew for the rest of the movie, taking pot shots and stuff at them whenever they can. Any of this sound familiar? If so, what was the NAME of the movie? It wasn’t an Oscar winner, but it was nevertheless a good flick. Given the current situation in Afghanistan, I thought it’d be an interesting movie to watch again.
If you want more details to try and remember the movie…
near the beginning, the Russions come into an Afghan village and end up running over a guy 'cause they wouldn’t tell him where the rebels were (actually, they placed him under the tread of the tank and rolled over him). I think the Russions also gassed the village (they dropped gas canisters from underneath the tanks).
I really dug that film. The Afghani-under-the-tread was particularly well-done, in that it unnerved even me (the teenage Fangoria addict).
Also nice was the night the Russians spent buttoned up in their tank, so paranoid that they basically burned a perimeter around themselves with a turret-mounted flamethrower, all for being skittish over a bit of wildlife.
I saw it on cable about 15 years ago. It was a British comedy about a chocolate-candy company that discovered a “secret ingredient” which made chocolate taste better – human flesh!
Look, I’m sure you’re a real nice guy/gal/dog, but I’ve got a beef with you. Did you by any chance notice that, in the list of questions, nobody else capitalized their text? Is your Q so shoutingly urgent that you had to cap yours? I mean, all you want to know is a movie title, not the treatment for third degree burns or something.
How about this really strange black and white movie about a doctor who goes to work in an asylum. He’s heard about the experimental treatments going on there. Only, as time passes, he realized that these experimental treatments are not so kosher. And then it begins to dawn on him that the head doctor is really, really nuts. Finally he sees (if I remember a pretty bloody way) that the maniacs have taken over the asylum.
Or this one: There is this apartment building. One person’s apartment has a jungle overgrowning it. There seems to be trolls in the laundry room.
Hey spooje, I think stuy is talking about the all cap thread title.
THANK YOU! That’s been needling at the back of my brain for YEARS! All I could remember were that the candies at the beginning (before they added people to the vat) were called “Passionelles” and tasted bad (but had plenty of “milk-white tit” in the TV ads), and that the guy at the end emerges from the chocolate-mixing vats wearing a chocolate tuxedo.
