I have sent an email to My Movies to see if us Aussies can enter their comps. Please note that when you register, there is a pull down menu of different countries including Australia. Also, there is nothing in the T&C to say only open to England, so I assume we can enter. I'll let you know for sure when I get an email back from My Movies.

IN CINEMAS FEB 25

To celebrate the cinema release of Gran Torino; the controversial and hard hitting drama directed by and starring movie maestro Clint Eastwood as disgruntled Korean war veteran Walt Kowalski, we have decided to test your Clint knowledge on his extensive filmography by putting together some questions below (answers at the bottom). After proving your worth, why not enter our classic Clint competition and be in with a chance of winning a set of 7 classic Clint films including Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, Unforgiven, Sudden Impact, Absolute Power, True Crime, and Letters From Iwo Jima?



With classic Clint sneers and one-liners, the film follows the story of disgruntled Korean war veteran Walt Kowalski (Eastwood) who is a grumpy and opinionated widower who simply cannot let go of his prejudices and does nothing to hide his feelings from the outside world. The film focuses round Walt’s prize possession; his 1972 Gran Torino which he treasures and treats like a member of the family. Walt cuts quite a lonely figure, despite having two sons who neither he feels he can relate too. The neighbourhood around him is changing and when a Hmong family move into the house next door to him it opens up a whole world of issues that he thought he would never have to face.

Thanks, I agree, this is from Wikipeida

The Hmong gang, at that point, tries to persuade Thao to join them. Thao's initiation is to steal Walt's prized car, a 1972 Gran Torino Sport. Walt interrupts the robbery, pointing a rifle in Thao's face and forcing him to flee. After a few days, Spider and his gang return. With Sue at his side, Thao manages to verbally confront them to no avail.
