Quickly provided answers for frequently asked questions about STONE COLD

Is Stone Cold a good movie?
I can say with confidence that Stone Cold is the best movie set in Biloxi, Mississippi.

There’s also a made-for-TV movie called Stone Cold. Tom Selleck plays Jesse Stone, a tough police detective who’s trying to atone for past sins like turning down the role of Indiana Jones.

Quickly provided answers for frequently asked questions about TAKEN

What is the famous line from Taken?
There are a few famous lines. There’s the line, “I have a very particular set of skills”, and there’s my favorite, “You think you can take from me? Take again, mother tooker”

How many Liam Neeson Taken are there?
I’m not sure I understand your question. There are three Taken films, but if you’re looking for Liam Taken’s Nissan, it’s right off of I-78 next to the big sign. Tell ‘em Marko said good luck!

What happened to Amanda in Taken?
Sadly, Amanda never got to see any of U2’s European tour dates, as she overdosed on heroin forced upon her by traffickers. Good news, U2 did dedicate a song to her at their Amsterdam show. Bad news: The song was “Discotheque” from their POP album.
