January 22[edit]

Packers versus giants football history[edit]

~shuey6767.0.87.200 (talk)During an old clip on Sat. Night live a sketch with John Amos and Eddie Murphy showed a clip of the giants kicking a field goal to beat the packers when was that game played —Preceding comment was added at 00:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I could be wrong, but is it possible that you're referring, not to SNL, but to a scene in Coming to America wherein Eddie Murphy's character recounts a fictional game between the two real-life ball clubs? The scene supposedly "predicts" what happened this past weekend. It's all over YouTube[1]. The movie was made in 1988--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 04:49, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

French film title?[edit]

Roman Polanski and Gérard Depardieu acted in a French film where Polanski is the police and Depardieu's character eventually realises he is already dead. Does anyone know what the title is? Julia Rossi (talk) 07:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe this one. Oda Mari (talk) 08:11, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I thought it was French speaking, but you are right, Oda Mari, that's the story. Thanks for that, appreciate the speed! Julia Rossi (talk) 08:20, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
