I'm afraid you're mistaken. In Pakistan, they eat American Corn Pops. In Germany, they play American AG. In Britain, they watch American movies. In Brazil, they buy American MP3 players.* In Russia, they eat American McDonalds cheeseburgers. In Switzerland, they buy American Paladin self-propelled artillery. In Canada, they move down to the U.S. to become interns at American game companies. *Made in China. Yes, the Westernized World Runs on America™. It's just too true.

Eh? Aye, but only a few. Most of the AGs these days are made in Europe these days anyway, and quite a lot of them in Germany.
Aye, but the Hollywood versions are rarely as good as the original movie produced in another country. -

Um... you do know that the Bond films are financed by the Americans, don't you? And that the producers are American?
Still, they are filmed in the UK (at least for now), star British actors and so on. So they're probably some strange kind of hybrid . |

Nikita was a great movie which the Americans tried to remake: Point of no returnThe original french version is so much better IMHO. And I believeLes Visiteurs also was remade in the US.

KHAAAAAN! They're still in my room. Sorry... You'll get Easter cookies, I promise. They're the same as Christmas cookies, but we use different cookie cutters. -

Yes, though that was a sequel to a Vin Diesel vehicle.
