This one takes the cake. Tom Cruise and Anil Kapoor in the same flick. The latter has what could best be described as a cameo and does not get to interact with the Top Gun himself but his female sidekick, who is trying to disrobe in the midst of turbaned guests.

Back then clearly I was wet behind the ears product manager and likely didn’t pay attention to all (efficient) things Japanese. But today I did and of course continue to be impressed.

Providing a very fine machined wooden toothpick in every packet of wooden chopsticks. The said chapsticks are simply set on the To Go counter of any food vendor/ convenience store wher...
Such missions should be outsourced to India, where a few dishum dishums is all it takes..much cheaper than blowing up half the world to save the other half.
