I wonder what the dog will be dubbed as in this version............;)

[BEagle]

A wonderful invention, the VCR!

In this version, Gibson's dog 'Nig.ger' doesn't have a name at all - hence the odd continuity thanks to the hacked about scenes.

Ah yers, still a good movie, they don't make em like that anymore.
I hear Tom Hanks is working on his English accent for the remake. :rolleyes:

I am outraged that the TV companies have capitulated to PC in a Classic movie. You can't change the name. We all know what it is and so should the populace. Perhaps HRH has a point about PC - where valid and important memories and matters of historic interest are being desecrated for the sake of a bunch of hypocrites.

What about the BLACK ONLY AWARDS? What about a 'proposed' ban on WHITE male MP's (according to todays Mail on Sunday). The world has gone 'kin mad. :mad:

I watch that movie several times a year. Brilliant stuff!

But if you listen carefully, and speak the morse-ish tongue, the real name was still there.......

(I may stay on this forum for a while, people are being rude to me on the Mil Forum:( :( :( )

[tony draper]

The Mil forum is not for the faint hearted. ;)

[Wycombe]

You just have to understand the twin concepts of irony, and most importantly banter (a UK Mil tradition) and you'll be fine!

[teeteringhead]

Actually Wycombe old chap, my parenthetical remarks above were ... err ... ironic. And my banter (for which 30+ years RAF service has trained me) is on the mil forum (Home to Duty thread inter alia) for your inspection........;) ;) ;)

But I thank you for your kind and helpful thoughts.:)

[Wycombe]

Went for a looksee and return suitably amused.

Thank God for the Mil Forum, almost feel myself back in the light blue (and sometimes green!) again....all the fun without the things that weren't :)
