    Confused? DFCA1DA5-121F-4D80-9B22-E537CB34AC66.jpeg In the mid 90s the True Lies movie was a favorite of mine.

    I am watching the pilot for a TV series of the same name. The protagonist, Harry Tasker and his wife have been abducted - like in the movie - and the spy activated the emergency beacon on his El Primero.

    Omega Sector? That’s Harry’s agency. image.jpg I wonder if Omega was asked to supply watches? Would they refuse because of Bond, for a TV series?

    Thread created for fun, not to save the world.

    Classic movie. I read somewhere recently that True Lies was basically created as a James Bond parody. Maybe that was obvious to some but it never occurred to me at the time. I’m a big Ahhhnold fan. He’s perhaps the only celebrity I’d care to meet.

    “Have you killed people?!”
    “Yea… but they were all bad.”

    This line always cracks me up;
    Bad guy: "Do you know what this is?"
    Arnold: "I know what this is...
    This is an espresso machine.
    No, no wait. It's a snow cone maker."

    It has a Tachymeter so it must be expensive.
