I Did Not Know That....

A R Rahman's 1992 classic theme from the 'Bombay' soundtrack is featured on this one. It plays when Jack Valentine (an interpol agent, potrayed by Ethan Hawke) detains Yuri Orlov in Sierra Leone.

Lord of War's a good movie. Very tastefully made. Ostensibly it's loosely based on Viktor Bout and Arcadi Gaydamak.

Some of my favorite lines from the movies... from imdb(d0t) com

• "Sir! Sir, may I interest you in the shoulder fired S-37 surface-to-air missle? It's the old Chinese model. Not so effective against modern military aircraft but deadly if used against a commerical airliner. "
• "Back then, I didn't sell to Osama Bin Laden. Not because of moral reasons, but because he was always bouncing checks. "
• "Thank God there are still legal ways to exploit developing countries. The only problem with an honest buck is they're so hard to make - the margins are too low, too many people are doin' it."
• "There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is: How do we arm the other 11?"
• "I sell to leftists, and rightists. I sell to pacifists, but they're not the most regular customers."
• "Some of the most successful relationships are based on lies and deceit. Since that's where they usually end up anyway, it's a logical place to start."
• "I had a flair for languages. But I soon discovered that what talks best is dollars, dinars, drachmas, rubles, rupees and pounds fucking sterling."

"You know who will inherit the earth? Arms dealers, because everyone else is too busy killing themselves."
