bridge over the river kwai is in japan isn&#39;t it
In the general area of the Kwai if memory serves. [/b][/quote]
It definitely goes over the River Kwai - which is not in Japan.

Both movies have their merits. Tiger is arty and spectacular although I never really identified with the main characters and thus felt the movie lacked a certain depth.

Khyber is a classic of its genre -albeit a very silly genre. However, Syd James&#39; cackle as Sir Rough-Diamond does, on balance, give it the edge.
