Serellan Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Watching "The Kingdom" tonight, and what do I see on the "PC" screens in the Saudi cybercafe shot? GRAW 360, specifically MP on Nowhere. There was another shot that looked like it might have been GRAW PC or GRAW Xbox, but I couldn't tell, just that it was from FPWV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS PALADIN Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 LOL Strange that a game based on US military would be played in a muslim country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I was in Mosul in '03 and stepped inside a computer store, saw an advertisement for some game highlighting the Gulf War, from a US perspective. I don't think many of the Iraqis were playing it though, too busy looking at porn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimi Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I've really been wanting to watch The Kingdom...how was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serellan Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 I've really been wanting to watch The Kingdom...how was it? I was impressed, although I wasn't expecting much, so I was pleasantly surprised. Very "Michael Mannish" in presentation, but some kick ass gunbattles. Definitely a good movie for a GR or R6 fan.

dporter Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Another movie that the game makes an appearance in is Disturbia with Shia Lebeouf. He is playing GRAW 2 on the xbox 360 when his mom turns off his xbox live account because he is on house arrest. Anyone else spot it in other movies?

Kimi Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Something sort of related that I found interesting: I was watching the high school football "reality" show Two a Day's (an MTV show), and in scenes where they show the football players playing on a console, they show the TV screen but blur it out.

Cons72 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Saw Randy playing America's Army on the 360 in the warden's office (warden is played by Craig T. Nelson) on "My Name is Earl." Though they did not give any indication as to what the game was. I think they also showed the warden playing Rock Band or Guitar Hero in another episode.

CR6 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Well, after a more (than usual) stress-filled day at work, I followed Ser's recommendation and rented The Kingdom after work. It's a solid movie worth a viewing. I was pleasantly surprised too because it has a bit more depth than the usual Hollywood action flick. I thought the two actors portraying the main Saudi police characters did a great job Not surprising it was "Michael Mannish" since he's one of the producers. although Peter Berg was Director. It was also amzing how they created a Saudi street scene in the middle of Arizona ... Cool to see the snippet of GRAW I wonder if they asked Ubi for permission Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braybot Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Saw your post and couldn't help renting it... also wasn't expecting much but liked it. ... I also saw GRAW 1 make an appearance in an episode of Cribs (football player don't remember who though)... I think he also had a Rolls Royce with fur floors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kleaneasy Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I actually got around to watching this today and have to agree its a good film. Anyone who's not seen it should try imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS PALADIN Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Good movie. Loved the shootout at the end. If you could recreate that intensity in a gme you'd be onto a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raw Kryptonite Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Definitely a good movie for a GR or R6 fan. That's what I wanted to hear. Going to the top of the netflix list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Watched it tonight, thought it was a great movie. Spotted the GRAW clip 1h 9mins in, forgot all about this thread until I did a Kingdom search. If anyone else hasn't seen it yet, well recommended.
