Plus I just did the last so someone else’s turn

Fair play. I posted it as it does have a few variants on the name globally, as I was thinking about the last film and the number of variants it has, hence my listing of this. As an aside, I got into a lengthy argument with an ex-colleague about the title of the film, as the international trailer had one name, yet the version released onto home DVD/BD had another name.

Havent seen it and don’t recall the title…

Yup, Roman Polanski film from a few short years ago. You win, just name it for clarity and we can move on

Good luck everyone - I'm going easy on you all this time

AKA:

Argentina Blanco Perfecto Bulgaria (Bulgarian title) Снайперист Brazil Sniper, O Atirador Canada (English title) Sniper Canada (French title) Tireur d'élite Germany Sniper - Der Scharfschütze Denmark Snigskytten Spain En el corazón de la jungla Finland Sniper - sala-ampuja France Sniper - Tireur d'élite Greece (transliterated ISO-LATIN-1 title) Eleftheros skopeftis Croatia Snajper Hungary Lopakodók Italy One Shot One Kill - A colpo sicuro Japan (English title) (literal title) Leopard Never Sleeps Japan Yamaneko wa nemuranai Poland Snajper Portugal Beckett, O Atirador Romania Lunetistul Romania Ţintaş de elită Serbia Snajperista Russia Снайпер I might have seen a trailer in a hotel/motel in the 90's whilst in Europe, or on a plane, I never actually saw the movie myself, just knew it had the word 'sniper' in the title somewhere.

So - I wins?

edit: It might be an idea to formulate/summarise which films have been used on the front page, so as not to repeat them, as we are at 55 pages now!

Lets stay on war themed movies, started with an idea and sidetracked by the results ?

Oh, that's Sniper-something, can't remember what.

Moustache + assault rifle = awesome movie.

This is considered good practice for multiplayer level design.

I know the answer - I knew it when I saw the picture. I'm just trying to stay out of this one.

Good f******* movie.

I srsly doubt I will play this game online, not if GTAV is anything to go by...it's so conveyor-belt, no meaning, no substance to it.

Yes, the Dodge M4s Turbo Interceptor

Charlie Sheen and (if no one was able to spot her) Sherilyn Fenn, pre Platoon and pre Twin Peaks. Sherilyn was Laura Palmer in that show and was the one that the entire series revolved around...'who killed Laura Palmer' was the topic at hand every day at work and school.

Also of note is Randy Quaid as the sheriff and an obscure Star Trek actor, Mr Clint Howard - who played this character:

...In one of my favourite episodes of TOS 'The Corbomite Maneuver'.

In The Wraith his character was a little more 80's and grown up:

The connections and '6 degrees of Kevin Bacon' one can do with this movie if you are a tight spot, on the spot, are pretty amazing.

So yeah - a great cheesy 80's movie, but wow - what a car.

Someone will get it soon, guaranteed.

Just a film buff with a pocket full of useless knowledge

May I suggest asking friends, colleagues, family etc - that car is legendary.

Dude...once you know who is in it, the subject matter, the plot, the cinematography (just look at the two shots above! The car, with its low and dominating camera angle @ 1.85:1 on a spherical lens, signifying the utter power and dominance of the car - then the girl in the red bikini, being surrounded by straight lines of the towels, and the angle looking down upon her, signifying her entrapment of character...the list goes on and on.)

There are some VERY big names in this movie. I really thought it would be an easy one...

Let me get another screengrab to help you all.

If you can identify the actress in the red bikini, you will get it inside of 10 seconds - but another shot of the car will probably do it. This is an easy win for someone

And yes, that is spooky ethereal power emanating from the wheels...

'Spooky' is probably the biggest hint I could give you.

1 minute ago, Squad said: I know shit about cars and all that, just thought it was worth a shot, because of your hint:

Yeah - looking at it some more it is kinda hard to see whether that is the rear mid or front of the car, but I was trying to get a cryptic screen-grab or it would have been too obvious.

Ha! No, sorry. That car was a front engine, rear-wheel drive. This car is not. Which will narrow it down a lot.

i even found this 50 most iconic cars lost and can’t see anything that seems to pertain to that shot, except the DeLorean.

wouldn’t answer if I had found it this way, but really can’t think of anything else. Probably I’m gonna feel embarrassed once again

You might.

Gonna drop a hint for y'all, the car was a reproduction of a pacecar used in Nascar during the 80's. As you can see from the inside of that engine bay, it's not a 'normal' car (in the film) and is very otherworldly and 'spooky'.

That is about as much of a hint I can give without giving it away.
