See attached image showing common usage of the word hectometer (about
12 minutes into the film). My wife and I watching a film over the
weekend notice the use of the word hectometer. Les Rivières Pourpres
II (Crimson Rivers II) - a sequel to Les Rivières Pourpres (The
Crimson Rivers) - is a French film with English subtitles. The first
film was in English only and the actors very unrealistically used feet
and miles throughout because the setting is modern-day France. The
actors in the second film used only metric measures in their dialogue.
