"TAKEN" - the movie to watch while in Paris

Excuse me, what is the name of this tower???


Views of Paris as "TAKEN" by my camera



A street near the Eiffel Tower



This is the way people in Paris park their car - gangland style isn't it??



Charles De Gaulle international airport, Paris - the main airport - there is another airport exclusively for private jets - The Le Bourget (pronounced La Borje) airport


The famed Paris Opera House

Now done with the various views of Paris as "TAKEN" by my camera

While on a trip to Paris last April 10th, 2010, i remembered a movie, aptly-titled "Taken" filmed on various locations in Paris.

"Taken", starring Liam Neeson tells the story of a 17 year old American girl, kidnapped and forced into prostitution by a Bulgarian Paris-based human trafficking gang.

Enraged, the father of the kidnapped girl, played by Liam Neeson rushed to Paris from the USA and turned Paris upside down. He single handedly took on the entire gang, successfully rescued his daughter, but not before killing almost 50 bad guys!!!

In one particular scene, he killed a bad guy with a 24 hour continuous 350 volt electrical jolt, connected from the main switch of a ganghouse straight to 2 metallic plates, pierced and nailed on that unfortunate guy thighs. Before that he said "I need you to be focussed"!!!!!!

In another scene, Liam Neeson shot an already dead guy, 5 times inside an elevator...!!!!!

And of course the catch phrase "Jean Claude, i will tear down the Eiffel Tower if i had to"!!!!!!!

Cool isn't it...???

Watch the movie.. You will not regret it..!!!





The electrical jolt scene can be seen from 01.23 onwards in this video. Cruel but effective!!! I need you to be focussed!!!! At 01.59, Liam Neeson shot an already dead guy 5 times inside an elevator!!!! at 02.38 - the catch phrase "Jean Claude.. i will tear down the Eiffel Tower if i have to"!!!!!!!!!

Bonjou... Merci (thanks) for dropping by...
