In a non-French film about these objects, a group of non-native English speakers twice sing the Irish song “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary.” In a film about these objects, a character muses about “[raising] rabbits” with a “round American woman” whom he will marry in Montana. (15[2])A film about these objects uses (15[1])a closeup on the lips of a man saying the word (*) “Armageddon” as a pivot to switch from dialogue in a foreign language to English. (10[1])While filming (10[1])Raiders (10[1])of the Lost Ark, Steven Spielberg accidentally rented a mockup of one of these objects used as the set of the magnum opus of director Wolfgang Petersen.
