Frank Finlay

RJapanese fighters like Kazushi Sakuraba, Masakatsu Funaki, and Ikuhisa Minowa already use "pro wrestling" as their fighting base. The difference is that pro wrestling in Japan is more like old-school pro wrestling: the focus is actually on WRESTLING, instead of choreographed fake punches and high spots that require skills akin to gymnasts.To make a long story short, pro wrestling used to mean guys to wrestled for money using real grappling skills; the Japanese brought over some of those old-school guys to train their wrestlers in the 1980's. Those grappling skills included all the skills you'd see in amateur wrestling, as well as submissions. Nothing like you see in the WWE, in other words. The last generation of "shooters" (mat workers with legit skills) died or retired just recently: Dean Malenko, Bret Hart, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, etc. Finlay and Regal have some legit skills, but they're the last of the bunch.So what I'm saying is, what you're thinking of as "pro wrestling" probably wouldn't work that well. Most of the moves require cooperation and can't be done on an opponent who knows how to fight, like an NCAA All American wrestler or a BJJ black belt. But the old-school, legit "catch" or submission wrestling, as used by the old-timers and kept alive by some schools and coaches, is a great base for MMA. In addition to the Japanese fighters I've mentioned, Erik Paulson, Ken and Frank Shamrock, Bas Rutten, and Josh Barnett were trained in these styles. Where things like dropkicks, powerbombs, and flying headscissors fail, the mat skills like heel hooks, arm bars, and neck cranks survive.

Redited later.... SORRY. My answer was wrong! The 1984 version stars George C. Scott! I will change my answer now.... sorry....A Christmas Carol (1984) starring George C. Scott, David Warner, Susannah York, Frank Finlay, Edward Woodward and Nigel Davenport. 100 min.The 1984 (((NO NO NO, 1988))) movie SCROOGED, starring Bill Murray as Scrooge, was a comedy film. I will give you 5 differences, but there are many more.1. The 1984 Film has greatly changed the dialog, added much new dialog from the original novel. 2. Tiny Tim comes to meet his father, Bob Cratchit, outside his office. This does not happen in the novel.3. Two men asking for charitable donations meet Scrooge at the Stock and Grain Market in the film. NOT in his private office, as in the novel.4. When Marley leaves the room, in the film, there is no scene where spirits fill the sky and cannot 'help a poor wretched woman with an infant on a doorstep' (in the novel).5. Scrooge arrives at is old school, in the film, and here, additional dialog is added to perpetuate the theory that Scrooge's mother died in childbirth too. Robinson Crusoe is mentioned as a favorite book (NOT Ali Babba).6. Scrooge's father also meets young Ebenezer at the school, and says that he may come home for only 3 days, that is enough. (Not so in the novel)7. Fred is given a last name in the film, Holywell.8. The final scene where Belle breaks up with scrooge is filmed in the snow covered park. In the book, the surroundings are not described at all.9. The ghost of Christmas Present CALLS OUT for Scrooge to enter. And his torch is NOT in the shape of a horn-of-plenty. both points different from the book.10.I have 10 more, too. Write me if you'd care to have them.... T T.

RWhen you say the old version which film do you mean. Its been made 27 times!, the first film being released in 1903.The version which stays closest to the novel in terms of plot is the 1973 film The Three Musketeers, starring Michael York, Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain, Frank Finlay, Charlton Heston, Christopher Lee and Raquel Welch. This film covers the first half of the book.The sequel The Four Musketeers (released in 1974) covers the second half of the book.These two films are easily the best adaptation of the book and by far the most exciting when it comes to sword fighting.

RLifeforce (1985)?starring Steve Railsback, Mathilda May, Peter Firth, Frank Finlay, Patrick Stewart, Michael Gothard IMDb synopsis:Halley's Comet returns to the solar system and the English/American team aboard the shuttle Churchill, making a close-up survey of the comet, discovers an alien spacecraft in the head of the comet. Inside the spacecraft are some large bat-like creatures and in three cocoons are three "dead" humans: two men and a woman. The "Churchill" takes the humans and a creature back to Earth. There the bosses of the project are amazed to find the shuttle burnt out and all but one of the crew, Carlsen, dead. The humans from the spacecraft suddenly awake and all those who come into contact with them are drained of their "lifeforce" and in time all the victims~including most of the population of London~are turned into zombies all preying on the horrified survivors for their lifeforce. It's up to Carlsen and Major Caine of the SAS to stop them before the whole world turns into a big blood-hunt. NOTE: There's only one female, who does wander around in the nude, as do the other aliens. They sort of "infect" others through kissing mainly, transforming them as described above. Here's the movie trailer:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G32tVg4Ld6gYouTube might have the complete movie. Here's Part 1:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbI-8dSp3-M&feature=PlayList&p=381D0E6EE5854F80&index=22I recall seeing this at the drive-in. We were so excited about Halley's Comet and wondered if it would appear that clearly to us. It was a major disappointment, practically a no-show.

RIt could be this:The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns (1999 TV miniseries)starring Randy Quaid, Whoopi Goldberg, Roger Daltrey, Colm Meaney, Kieran Culkin, Zoë Wanamaker, Caroline Carver, Frank Finlay, Phyllida LawIMDb review:New Yorker Jack Woods rents a summer cottage in Ireland, where he has a run-in with a local beauty. Then he has another: He's the first human to discover leprechaun leader Seamus Maldoon and his family living there. While keeping his hesitant friendship with them secret, Jack fixes things up with the girl, Kathleen, and falls in love. Meanwhile, Mickey Maldoon sneaks into the Trooping Fairies' midsummer ball with friends and falls for Princess Jessica. As the Troopers and Solitary Fairies aka leprechans are natural enemies, neither Seamus nor King Boric is pleased. Neither is Grogan, Jessica's hotheaded cousin who wants revenge for the crashed party. When Mickey refuses to fight, his friend does and is killed since the Grand Banshee punishes fighting fairies with mortality. Mickey kills Grogan in return, starting war. The two lovers escape their feuding families, but their friends die in battle. Then, nature falls apart while the Little People neglect it. Jack is asked to make peace, but, when Kathleen discovers a shocking secret about him, he has problems and a need for peace of his own.Here are some film clips:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYifWf0MTAshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZQT5T8p9FY&feature=fvwhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSnHtLt2PR8&feature=related
