Uh have you heard of the rape of Nanking (sp?) or what happened to Korea or the rest of China for that matter? Your telling me those japanese soldiers didn't make a concerted effort to kill civilians!?!?!
I personally still don't like the Japanese because even now they are all "We are genetically and mentally superior to the rest of the world." I mean granted Americans can be as arrogant as hell but i've only heard the racicst madmen comment on being genetically and mentally superior....especially when it's usually not even a Japanese scientist that makes the breakthrough it's just someone they funded  .
And besides that I've known a lot of Chinese and even some Korean people as friends throughout the years so it kind of sinks on when you hear their parents and grand parents described what happened in WWII.
Anyway....deep breaths....sorry for the rant....hope no one here takes personal offense.
NOW back to movies to bring things back on topic.
YOu know I heard Braveheart was a hit....I was shocked at just how stinking lame and innacurate that movie was I mean come on they made it look like braveheart rebeled against England over a woman...a WOMAN HE NEVER HAD!!  hehe.
P.S. I am an American so I know my country has made mistakes and on behalf of our nation I appologize for them ;-). And assure you the vast majority of us aren't ugly americans.

To be fair, not all Japanese are racists/ethnocentrists. Most Japanese I know and have known never once referred me as an inferior race, even though I'm Korean.

Re: OT: Hit Movies that Blow Chunks
For some sobering reading, check out this link Death tolls
Allthough all numbers are unreliable and metodes of estimation varies (some numbers counts secondary effects like starvation and disease, some don't)
Hitler outkills the Japs 2 to 1.
Lifetime "achievments" of both Stalin and Mao beats Hitlers easily.
Back on topic:
Every movie in history with a roman numeric in the title.
Except: Alien II and III and Mad Max II

Re: OT: Hit Movies that Blow Chunks
oh yeah, no one dies in unfathomable numbers like the Russians. speaking of which, didnt that sniper movie suck? the one about that fictional but widely publicized sniper duel in red square...
i think it was Behind Enemy Lines, or Enemy at the Line, or something like that.
in fact, im not sure that i've ever seen a GOOD sniper movie, much less a realistic one.

Re: OT: Hit Movies that Blow Chunks
I think the movie was "Enemy at the Gates". Never watched it, so.

That surreptitious sex scene with that actress from the Mummy was kind of hot though.  |

Did you happen to see an HBO movie called Shot Through the Heart (or something like that)? It was a sniper movie set in the Bosnian civil war back in the early 90's. |

oh yeah. i liked how they were all grimy through the whole movie, and the people sleeping two inches on either side of them didnt care enough to pay attention to what they were doing. a friend of mine saw the film with his Belarussian girlfriend, and she cracked up laughing in the middle of some dramatic scene, because the cyrilic graphiti in the background read "dog-dick" or something like that.

How about The Day of the Jackal (1973)?
Unless one considers it an assassination movie.
Full Metal Jacket also has a good sniper episode at the end.
