The Prague Post Online: Tempo: Czechs on film: Among Hollywood's outstanding directors were and still are Gustav Machatý, Miloš Forman and Ivan Passer. Jan Tříska, Herbert Lom, Karel Roden and Jan Rubeš rank among the more prominent current Czech film actors, while other names such as Francis Lederer, Hugo Haas and Vera Hruba-Ralston lurk in the past. Erich Korngold towers among film composers and Miroslav Ondříček among cameramen, while a plethora of little-known but no less capable Czech stuntmen helped make movies such as Titanic and Gladiator into classics.
An interesting article about Czechs and Czech themes in Hollywood. It mentions many memorable Czech references in mainstream English cinema. But it neglects to mention Stripes a film where Bill Murray is confronted by Czech border guards speaking Hungarian.
