Altum Videtur: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Top Secret]]!''. While Nick Rivers is in prison, he's taken out of his cell and led to an execution room by a priest speaking common Latin phrases such as "corpus delicti" and "quid pro quo". It eventually derails into Pig Latin, and translates literally as "You're going to get fried in the chair".

** Of course, it's {{spoiler|the priest who gets fried}}, which makes sense, given that East Germany was a Communist state.

* [[Life of Brian]] - Some rather [[Canis Latinicus|doggy Latin]] is used for graffiti, and the Roman soldier who stumbles on it takes the time to correct the graffiti's grammar.

* ''[[The Running Man (film)|The Running Man]]''. While Richards is being led to the arena, a lawyer reads his contract to him. It includes a Latin phrase in its legalese, "Ad hoc de facto"<ref>Literally, it's "for this, in fact"; but in legal use, both are standard terms and it means "for this purpose; in practice, but not by law"</ref>.
