Dear Prabhus, Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I recently purchased the Hare Krishna in the Movies & Lou Grant Show DVD and after watching the Hare Krishna in the Movies portion straight through, I watched it again, this time compiling the following list:

(2007 April - July). Gary recently appeared as "Krishna" in the highly acclaimed Sadler's Wells production of "The Mahabharata", in London and Edinburgh, with music composed by Nitin Sawhney. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0997747/)

His novel The Leggend of Bagger Vance is based on the ancient Hindu text the Bhagavad Gita ("The Song of God"). In that story the Indian warrior Arjuna, loses his confidence on the battlefield and is counseled by Krishna. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0696267/bio)

On preparing for her role in Water (2005/I): "Deepa gave us all plenty to read about the state of widows, not only in the 1930s but also today. But I also knew I had to something more. I decided to go to India, and look at how the widows lived in rural areas. I even went to Varanasi. I went there pretending to be a tourist. I even had my camera! I went to the widows' homes, went to temples, heard widows sing the Radha-Krishna bhajans, and watched them for hours. I followed their body language. I was adding (from the observations) what I had read about them and from the memory of widows in my own family." (10 May 2006) (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0712908/bio)

Was part of the chorus (including Tom Smothers, Timothy Leary, Norman Mailer, and the local Hare Krishna chapter) who sang on 1969's "Give Peace A Chance" with John Lennon and Yoko Ono during their "bed-in" in Montreal. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0320091/bio)

Dear Prabhus, Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I just now got through jotting down the timings (See below) for the on-line version of ITV's new version of Hare Krishna in the Movies. Unfortunately, the editing is even worse than it is for the 1st version. The worst part is that for some of the segments, the aspect ratio is way off. Bee Season, for example. Also, the last approximately 10 minutes is blank.

ITV had a video that was a compilation of all the devotee related movie scenes up to that time. I think they put it out in the early 1990s.

I was in Die Hard III as part of a harinam party on Hollywood Boulevard in a post-apocalyptic dystopian futuristic scene.
Would love to see the clips. Because of the ban on movies in ISKCON, I never watched them.

It is a fun project.

BTW, Die hard 3 (<http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112864/>) takes place in New York City. It's about a very clever plot to steal the world's largest gold deposit deep underground in Lower Manhattan. There's more gold there than Ft. Knox! I took my wife and kids on a Federal Reserve Bank tour during the 80s which included going deep underground to see a huge sampling of that gold!

Hmmm. They both take place in New York.
Well, maybe they filmed it on Hollywood Boulevard to make it look like New York.
I seem to remember it was Bronson over Willis.
When that list of devotees in movies comes out, I will see.
I might remember seeing the clips for that and the Disney film in that ITV compilation. Anyways, it was thirty years ago.
The one filmed on Hollywood Boulevard took forever. Sit around and wait. 
The Disney one they got us in there, filmed several takes, and we were out of there.

It must have been Death Wish II. 
It definitely was in the early 1980s.

Death Wish II is a 1982 crime thriller action film directed by Michael Winner. It is the first of four sequels to the 1974 film Death Wish. In Death Wish II, architect Paul Kersey moves to Los Angeles with his daughter.

Dear Mother Nori Prabhu. Your research yielded the correct conclusion. It's Death Wish II, as is confirmed by the following:

http://krishnatube.com/video/140/Hare-Krishna-in-the-Movies-1990s

The amazing scenes from the Devil and Max Devlin are also included. Are you in those scenes? If so, how would we recognize you?

Yup. They are from the pre-Monkey on a Stick days when "Hare Krishna" was still considered to be cool.

BTW, I am still trying to get my hands on the 1080p/Blu-ray versions of the following:

1. Death Wish II (1982)

2. Dying Young (1991)

3. In Pursuit of Happiness (2006)

4. Jersey Girl (2004)

5. The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977)

I hope to, sometime within the next two weeks, have the relevant clips from each of the above uploaded to <https://www.youtube.com/hkitm> at 1080p resolution. Then I plan to begin working on the two dozen or so remaining movies which are not (yet) available on Blu-ray, uploading them at 480p.

i dunno how explicit you "want hare krishna in the movies" to be. 
Lord of the Ring , the 4th age is mentioned as beginning along with the kings coronation at end . kali yuga. other time "the ages" was mentioned ./.
reincarnation is not there , eternality of individual soul, not there. 
are they in any of your hare krishna in the movies series ? besides photo,s of krsihna devotee's. usually white .

Good proposal, Satyahit Prabhu, but I don't think that including anything from Lord of the Rings would be appropriate. So far, I've restricted it to clips that show the devotees or wherein "Krishna" or "Rama" are spoken. But I was thinking of adding a clip from Bad Words wherein "Chaitanya" is spoken.

one must draw an arbitrary line somewhere i spose . I wonder who and why the writer chose the name Chaitanya.    
also the phrase "middle earth" suggests that there are other realms in the universe .  actually some of the main characters did leave for another realm at the movies end 
many people are affected by vedic literature but in writing for the general public they have to be careful not to sound too religious .

after we saw Audrey Rose we left the theatre and got about a block away when i said lets go back and watch the people leaving. sure enough. as Lord Krsna says, some look upon the soul as amazing some don't care etc. just about everyone had strong reactions pro or con. like wow , thats incredible or O that was garbage .. we kept watching them come out for a while . the last scene was the burning ghats and a verse by Lord krsna across the screen . if you can find Walking After Midnight its great narrated by ringo star, all the actors did their parts for free cause they all had other worldly experience to share, Martin Sheen, James Colburn, Willie Nelson, and more ...director johnathon Kay

Like I said on <https://www.facebook.com/pratyatosa/posts/10204567288598681> about Audrey Rose (<www.imdb.com/title/tt0075704/>), at 17 seconds, you might notice that the entire front row of spectators on the right is composed of Hare Krishna devotees.

A 1½ minute movie clip was uploaded just now to my "Hare Krishna in the Movies" YouTube channel:

http://youtu.be/YvU1cq9GYUs

In this Polish language movie, we are privileged to witness the most attractive mainstream movie Hare Krishna chanting party yet! In this scene, Ola Koziol (Barbara Kaluzna) is shocked to see that her father, Jozef Koziol (Jerzy Stuhr), has apparently joined the Hare Krishnas. She points out the chanting party to her mother, Renata Koziol (Malgorzata Zajaczkowska), who then strains her eyes to see that her husband is indeed a part of the blissful chanting party. She then advises her daughter to simply leave him be, apparently figuring that he is a "lost cause." (Nice way to end a movie!)

Here's one way that you can help with my very popular (1000 views per day!) "Hare Krishna in the Movies" YouTube channel (<https://youtube.com/hkitm>): Spend US$16.49 of your hard-earned cash to order <http://www.amazon.com/Alex-Wonderland-Remastered-Donald-Sutherland/dp/B005JJCMSA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421613884> and have it sent directly to me. There are 2 very good Hare Krishna chanting party scenes in that movie, but I don't have a very good copy of it.

By the way, if you have a house then you are a member of the grhastha (householder) ashrama, and you are obligated, by Srila Prabhupada's direct order, to donate 50% of your income to the other 3 ashramas. (I am a member of the vanaprastha ashrama).

A 46 minute TV show was uploaded just now to my "Hare Krishna in the Movies" YouTube channel (Subtitles to follow, hopefully within the next week):

http://youtu.be/59SUzDq7JNI

In this episode of the popular Lou Grant TV series, Lou Grant (Ed Asner) is called upon to pacify the situation when his underling, Charlie Hume (Mason Adams), undergoes a family crisis: Charlie's son, Visnu Das (David Hunt Stafford), has joined the Hare Krishnas! Shows the spectacular ISKCON Los Angeles temple room with a nice shot of the beautiful Radha-Krishna Deities, Rukmini-Dwarkadhish.

It's interesting to note that the Hare Krishnas are portrayed as the intelligent good guys, while the "deprogrammers" are portrayed as the foolish bad guys.

There are a lot of people in Brazil who speak it. Besides, I hope to have English subtitles for it in the very near future.

BTW, my dear Prabhus, I am pleased to announce that Nori Muster, author of Betrayal of the Spirit: My Life behind the Headlines of the Hare Krishna Movement, is now a manager of my Hare Krishna in the Movies YouTube channel. One of her goals is to make the channel even more popular than it already is.

Thanks to Antardvīp Prabhu, movie clip #140 has been added to my "Hare Krishna in the Movies" YouTube channel. This one is a whopping 18½ minutes long!:

http://youtu.be/0-Q5Hg7PUl8

In this Czech Language movie, it's Christmas Eve dinner somewhere in the Czech Republic. The boy who decided to become a Hare Krishna devotee is Pavel Muk (Marek Daniel). He refuses to eat fish and it becomes a quarrel. Then there is his brother Karel Muk (Jaroslav Dusek) (the one with red pullover), their father Josef Muk (Vlasta Dusek), mother Anna Mukova (Vera Kresadlová) and grandmother. The third brother, Robert Muk (Petr Ctvrtnícek), is on the way in the car.

<http://youtu.be/Dvl_r8zfduw>, which was previously available in all countries, is now being "blocked in some countries," including the USA.

Here is what YouTube has to say about it:

The Son's Room (2001): 1:40 - 3:00

Your video may include clips that are owned by a third party.

To watch the matched clips please play the video on the right. The video will play from the point where the matched content was identified.

Your video is blocked in some countries.

Copyright details:

    Audiovisual content administered by:
    Studiocanal: Dispute rejected, claim has been reinstated.
    Warner Bros Entertainment: Claim released.

If you still think this is an invalid claim, you can file an appeal.

That makes two blocked videos on my YouTube "Hare Krishna in the Movies" channel (<https://youtube.com/hkitm>).

I plan to appeal, but since appealing risks a copyright strike, I plan to wait until my dispute claim concerning the other blocked video, <http://youtu.be/HHBdJxBNTyA>, has been resolved, hopefully within a month or two.
