comment Horror movie where people get drunk on and forced to drink blood
This doesn't sound like it refers to any science fiction or fantasy stuff, just typical "criminal" horror which is off-topic here, sorry.

comment First Hollywood (or at least made in USA) movie where Russian dialog was spoken by Russian speaking actor?
@Hugo - Russian speech without non-Russian (e.g. American) accent. In other words, a russian speaker hearing the movie would 100% be sure that the speaker is a native russian speaker.

comment Is there a good resource which analyzes many parody movies for “what is being lampooned”?
Thank you but in the question I specifically said I was looking for NOT an IMDB-high-level "references these 5 movies" bullet list.

How's HUAC related? I fail to see how HUAC would object to either a character who was Soviet Villain or anti-communist fighter (contemporary or pre-revolution); nor an actor from White Guard pre-soviet ancestry.

comment What is the significance of a man sitting on the train engine in the last scene of “Live and Let Die”?
thank, but this much is obvious, and pure speculation. I was asking for information sourced from people involved in the movie, not speculation, sorry.

comment What is the cinematic origin (first use) of a “Fortune teller will lose powers after intimacy” trope?
Uggh... for some reason I was hoping it would be some sort of Troy/Cassandra thingy, way earlier than 007. Good point re: Production code though - I wasn't very aware of it but you're correct I guess
