De Niro in Ronin

Desperately need to know which Sig Sauer assault rifle Robert De Niro is waving around in ‘Ronin’?

Can’t sleep for the desire to be able to distinguish between the P90 and the 93R in ‘Desperado’?

Or just want to salivate over some smooth cocking movieland gun porn?

Well, I guess that Internet Movie Firearms Database (IMFDb) is the site for you, then. It’s only small at the moment, but from little acorns and that…

Escape To Victory: The Original!

Két Félido A Pobolban

‘Két Félidő A Pokolban’, a.k.a. ‘The Last Goal’, a.k.a. ‘Two Half Times In Hell’, is a 1961 (or 1962, if you trust the running dog Western websites) Hungarian film said to be the inspiration for that masterful cinematic realisation of the Boy’s Own nexus of sport & war that is Escape To Victory:

Director and co-scripter Zoltan Fabri, an important figure in Hungarian cinema, offers a new twist on an old story in this effective tale of a POW camp run by Germans and a game of soccer. Rather than soldiers, this camp which is located in Hungary has political prisoners and Jews. One day the Germans are looking for entertainment and after discovering that a soccer ace is among their POWs, they decide to challenge the prisoners to a match. As the star player gets together a team and preparations begin for the game, the team also attempts an aborted escape. They are caught, but in spite of everything the game will go on — to unexpected and tragic results.

(Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka on the All Movie Guide)

You can view a brief snippet (about 5 minutes) of the film on the Hungarian site FilmTörtenét.
