Indeed it is! This would have been my next screengrab, which shows Mifune through the smoke. Once you had that, I was certain you'd get it. But good job, Yi.

Once upon a time in China 3 ?

Asian is not a country Yi-Long.

Martial Arts of Shaolin?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 20 Apr 2006, 01:39

Tai Chi Boxer?

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 20 Apr 2006, 06:55

Mark is right. It's Shaolin Temple 3: Martial Arts of China.

PS: I said it's asian, cause when I say it's from 'China', it would have been way too easy. We also applied that in the last round.

...I guess it was still too easy though...

Yay, I'm on the scoreboard finally. Watch your backs, guys!! :twisted:

I thought you could post the continent or does it have to be the country?

According to Tom it's dead easy to tell the difference between all the Asian countries

Stateside/Sinners?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 20 Apr 2006, 15:49

Nope, guys.

Asia is too vague. You have to state the country to the best of your knowledge and if you're not sure check.

Yeah, but in some cases, like in my case, it REALLY limits the possible choices, so it becomes way to easy, so that kinda ruins it. If after 12 hours orso it's clear that it's too hard, the guy who posted the picture can post extra hints. I feel HK/Japan/Korea/Hollywood have made so many movies that listing the country isnt going to give much away, but in the case of a martial arts flick from chine, that is available on DVD, it REALLY limits the options.

It went ok in round 1, and I doubt it's a big deal to many people here (when its applied appropriately ofcourse), so in some cases I feel it's OK.

I'll leave it up to Tom to decide about the country thing. I've said where I stand.

And yes, Yi is correct, it's Spartan.

I figured it was fairly unknown, but putting Val Kilmer in the cap must've been a dead giveaway.

What about saying "America"? As technically that's very vague or am I being pedantic now

. We all assume it's America means USA but of course it covers much more.

p.s - How about a limit on the width of the capture? It can really fuck up a thread having to scroll left to right.

As I've said before:
Sometimes, giving the country makes it way too easy.

For a popular chinese film, saying "Asian" should be good enough.

I'll leave it up to the individual gamekeepers to decide how they should help the players with clues.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 20 Apr 2006, 21:01

From HK

Good luck all...

America is the name of a country. North America is a continent. South America is a continent. The Americas is vague. But just plain AMERICA is the same country as the United States of America.

Is it supposed to be out of focus?

It's Interesting you should say that and I'm inclined to agree but I know of South American's who say they're American too.

It gets so confusing at that point however.

I wouldn't say The Americas is vague at all, it's what both continents are known as collectively and to many it's one continent, but I disagree. I use it when I'm talking about both.

I'd also originally guess it was called The Americas. Just like I am including The UK when I say Europe but many, many people do not.

Anyway moving on, as interesting as it is.
