[edit] Hilton Hotels Corporation

Any info regarding the Hilton Hotels Corporation allowing its (persumably) trademarked name used in a movie title? --Kvasir 03:59, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another Title question

Does anyone know if the nickname Bangkok Hilton was ever in use for any actual Bangkok prison prior to this work, or did this work invent that nickname. Ever since this series, news reports and TV documentaries usually seem pretty keen to describe whichever Bangkok prison they are reporting on (be it Chang Mai, Bangkwang, Klong Prem) as having the nickname "Bangkok Hilton". Now, the same nickname can't really be applied to three different places can it? Also, book The Damage Done uses only nickname "Big Tiger" to describe the Bangkwang prison, there is no mention of any "Bangkok Hilton" nickname. Asa01 20:29, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I think what you're alluding to is correct. I've recently been looking for an answer to the same question and only see the term being used by the (mainly Australian) media in recent times and in reference to any and every Thai prison. -- Ian ≡ talk 00:37, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
