allegedly when filming this movie they used guns and tanks that they borrowed from real gun dealers because they were cheaper than fakes

Yeah the stockpiles of guns are real, owned by gunrunners because its cheaper than having so many fakes made.

Absolutely Favourite movie, extremely enjoyable.

I saw it a little over a month ago on my way back from japan. Flying signapore airlines, they had it as a movie you could watch. This was late January.

Not a bad movie. I liked it how it all rolled in in the end. About the US and what not. Nice ending, A little dragged out though.

i agree, it was very anti-hollywood stereotype and was fantastic, paticuarlly for a political thriller, but I mean, considering it was by the guy that did "the truman show", you know that you're going to get a different kind of movie. Not a fan of Nicholas Cage, but he won me over in this one, I loved it

It was a great movie. Nicholas Cage was damn good in this one. That beginning quote was classic.

Thought it was alright. Saw it around the same time as Syriana so it didn't seem so out of the ordinary. Despite the awesome, very slick/cool start, it didn't hold it. I'm not an NC fan, sick of his moping. He moped his way through this but not enough to spoil it. So overall it was alright, but if it wasn't for this thread i wouldn't have remembered i'd seen it.

It didn't do it for me like Jarhead did.

Trivia for
Lord of War (2005)

* According to Andrew Niccol, the filmmakers worked with actual gunrunners in the making of the film. The tanks lined up for sale were owned by a gunrunner who had to have them back to sell to another country. They used a real stockpile of over 3,000 AK-47s because it was cheaper than getting prop guns. The gunrunners were more cooperative and efficient than the studio or the crew.

* Yuri Orlov is a composite of five real arms dealers.

* No US studios would back the film. Foreign finances were secured instead.

* The tanks seen in the movie were real and belonged to a Czech arms-dealer.

* Before shooting the scene where tanks were lined up for sale, the filmmaker had to warn NATO, lest they think a real war was being started when they see satellite images of the set.

* The character of Andre Baptiste is loosely based on famous warlord, and ex-leader of Liberia, Charles Taylor.

* The Antonov An-12 airplane number 9Q-CIH filmed in the movie was owned by a Russian citizen Evgeny Zakharov. On January 8, 2005, the plane crashed at Bukalaza, Ughanda; all six crew members were killed. The plane departed Entebbe airport with destination Kinshasa. It was reportedly carrying humanitarian relief items.

I hate X actor but Y movie was still good. Who cares if you hate some actor, what really matters is their acting.
