Too late. Steven Segal has already secured the rights. It's a co-pro with Pinewood Studios and the BBC.

Working title: Carry On Under Siege

So actually a woman of unknown age was being ripped of her earrings and what we get is:

Quote:

He had had enough when the robbers stripped an 18-year-old girl sitting next to him and tried to rape her right in front of her parents. He then took out his khukuri and took on the robbers.

“The girl cried for help, saying ´You are a soldier, please save a sister´,” Shrestha recalled. “I prevented her from being raped, thinking of her as my own sister,” he added.

they were facing a goddamned psychotic Gurkha with balls so gigantic they barely fit through the doorway of the train car

In front of her parents, man! Excuse me for a moment while I go dreaming of saved princesses and some bloke's huge balls on the toilet.

I guess indian language must be really hard.

They sure are. We've only got 20-odd official ones after all, and that's not counting the hundreds of dialects.

And hell, after 27 years here, I still can't stand to learn Hindi.

There was already a movie made in the 60s about a NY subway train terrorized by a couple of thugs until a solldier had enough when a young girl was picked on. Ed McMahan of all people was in it and he was good in it too. (http://http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.reviewtoview.com%2Fremakes-we-want-to-see-the-incident%2F&ei=ktpMTZWYD46qsAO0iJHFCg&usg=AFQjCNGoneHM96E46HTMGqVv6Y-BZfI4fQ) The Incident. Good flick. It said a great deal about people just wanting to survive hostility and the amount of humanity they will give up to do so.

I think the nature of confinement on a train forces gangs to fight more one on one which is against thier pussy-ass "gang up against one" nature and works poorly for them.

Seat number 47. This is where it all happened...

Take my picture! Wait! I'll point at the dagger-hole... Okay, go!

Whatever the real story is, forty dacoits who can't or won't shoot versus one Gurkha and his kukri... as anti unrealistic fantasy as I am at times, I would still give the guy chance even on an oval. You can take someone's arm off with one of those things. That always dampens the mood, even in large numbers.

The Incident.

Oh right. That really was a great movie. Very memorable. Saw this one like decades ago and still instantly remembered. There aren't many good movies where the whole plot takes place in just one room .
