Just watched Lord of War

**baddog** · 02-03-2006, 06:30 PM

It was the first movie I have gone to a theatre to see since Beavis and Butthead Do America, and I thought it was worth leaving the house to go see.

**sonofsam** · 02-03-2006, 06:31 PM

it was an awesome movie

**detoxed** · 02-03-2006, 06:31 PM

I liked the style they presented the story in... very interesting as well

**Outlinezero_yourmofoLOLO** · 02-03-2006, 06:34 PM

cool

**Outlinezero_yourmofoLOLO** · 02-03-2006, 06:35 PM

yeah it was a nice movie

According to Andrew Niccol, the filmmakers worked with actual gunrunners in the making of the film. The tanks lined up for sale were owned by a gunrunner who had to have them back to sell to another country. They used a real stockpile of over 3,000 AK-47s because it was cheaper than getting prop guns. The gunrunners were more cooperative and efficient than the studio or the crew.

This film is based on actual events.

Yuri Orlov is a composite of five real arms dealers.

No US studios would back the film. Foreign finances were secured instead.

The tanks seen in the movie were real and belonged to a Czech arms-dealer.

Before shooting the scene where tanks were lined up for sale, the filmmaker had to warn NATO, lest they think a real war was being started when they see satellite images of the set.

3,000 Ak's cost no more than 120k

Figure $40 each

I enjoyed it. There wasn't much of a story, but what was there, was enjoyable.

I don't know how many of you have seen it, but I thought the ending was great.

When I get home later, I'll check into how much of it was based on real events.

So overall, I give it a B/B+.

What do you mean there wasn't much of a story? It pretty much detailed him getting into the gun running game over the course of a decade while he dealt with his wife.

I thought it was a great movie.

**I LOVE Little Brown Asses** · 02-03-2006, 08:57 PM

don't even like nick cage and i thought it was great.

**Abyss_Vee** · 02-03-2006, 09:11 PM

**Violetta** · 02-03-2006, 09:16 PM

I've been thinking of watching it... perhaps I will this weekend!

**loverboy** · 02-04-2006, 12:29 PM

finallly, an action movie worth watching

**psili** · 02-04-2006, 12:35 PM
