OK Boys, let’s play a little trivia!

A fist full of dollars
Did you know A Fist Full of Dollars is an illegal copy of a Samurai movie called “Yojimbo”? Sergio Leona (spelling?) got sued and had to pay royalties to the Japanese producers.
The entire story and most of the quotes, including the one above, are a direct copy of Yojimbo.
You can find it YouTube with subtitles and I recommend you watch it.

Yeah the magnificent seven is also a rip off of the seven samurai
 
"None of us know our end, really, or what hand will guide us there. A king may move a man; a father may claim a son. But that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played, or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone. Even though those who play you presume to be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus.' or that 'Virtue was not convenient at the time.' This will not suffice. Remember that."

Kingdom of Heaven. Kind Baldric(?) to Orlando Bloom
 
I knew it started with a B! That movie could’ve been truly great. It had its moments, like the scene you quoted, but the casting and dialogue could have been better. Visually it was fantastic IMO

When Orlando bloom knights all of the defenders is a good scene as well

I was going to say that one but decided for the "A king may move a man" bit.

Also the extended Director's Cut is much better than the theatrical version, a rare instance of Ridley Scott not getting to have his ideal version of a film go to theaters.

I quoted it back some pages the one about holy places
 
This one might be a little more difficult

What I remember most about my childhood is holding your hand. My wee hand in your big hand, and the smell of tobacco. I remember, I could smell the tobacco in the palm of your hand. When I want to feel happy, I try to remember the smell of tobacco

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!
