Ok I skipped my turn a few pages ago so I do the honours now: dead man walking (very easy I'm affraid). Smile

An easy one: Hollywood says this is east of a coffee flavoured island, but in the atlas it is actually west.

No chance.
 
I'm absolutely unfamiliar with anything said in (or by) Hollywood.
 
The coffee flavoured island may be Cuba (and may be not). Ernest Hemingway lived in Key-West (or how is it spelled?)  There is a band called The Old Man & The Sea in PA. So, there are some associations, but they don't look too much convincing... Unhappy

There's also East of Eden, but it has nothing to do with an island...

Hollywodd movies receive sometimes titles in Brazilian Portuguese which have nothing with the original... one classical example is the famous film Giant (that one with James Dean) here in the theater it appeared as Assim Caminha A Humanidade (The Way The Humankind Goes On). Confused

I don't know what the Brazilian title was Guigo, but it certainly kept the "east" in the Spanish, Italian and French versions. For some bizzare reason the German title (trans) was 'The Largest Adventure of the Last Century' (and that's not a clue btw)

It's Krakatoa. The name of the movie is "Krakatoa, East of Java".
Actually a search for "Das größte Abenteuer des letzten Jahrhunderts" worked.

You probably mean "Sonic Pulsar". No, try again. "Sonic Pulsar" is not a tautology; on the contrary, it is the opposite of a tautology.
