FILM 1377: TAKEN
TRIVIA: Liam Neeson expected the
film to bomb, but signed on in order spend four months in Paris and learn
karate while playing the kind of role he'd rarely been offered in the past.
Ironically, the film was a hit and created a new onscreen image for Neeson as
an action hero.
The curved knife used in the final
fight is a karambit. It's an Indonesian /Malaysian weapon and the finger hole
in the handle makes it very difficult to disarm, which was evident in the fight
scene.
