| It's Fargo then: "McDormand eats at Hardee's and Arby's a whole lot and likes greasy dishes from the cafeteria piled high on her plate. She's eating for two. She loves her husband and he loves her. They lie in bed at night and watch TV. She's the police chief, affecting a self-effacing, aw-sucks, I'm not too bright (but I really am) style reminiscent of Tyne Daly in TV's "Cagey and Lacy" from some years back. Her husband Norm is a big guy who cooks for her and is an artist who paints wildlife. One of his duck paintings becomes a postage stamp." |

| Lethal Weapon 2 has a whole bunch of references to tuna, I think someone on the crew must have had a thing about it. Riggs smokes like a trooper throughout, then tries to quit in Lethal Weapon 3. |

| A police van and a tractor. This combo probably fits lots of films, so it will be interesting to see whether you come up with the same one as me. |

Final Destination 2
Im only 25% sure. There is a scene on a farm and I bet there is some sort of police van in the movie. But not totally sure. |

Hm... I have a book for this combination, actually. But no film...
I thought Goldeneye might work, but I don't think it was a tractor. |

LOL, you should be a politician if you can spin 25% as "not totally"! 
None of you has yet said the film I have got in mind, but please feel free to continue if you are pretty sure. (I can imagine there could be a tractor in Clockwise, but I cannot remember one. Actually, I cannot remember a police van either, but I'm assuming that you're confident about that one.)
If none of you is confident, a small clue as to the one I'm thinking of is that it's definitely not a police car or other vehicle. It's explicitly a van. |

O.K., it's verbally specified as being a van.
So part of the film takes place somewhere where there are tractors, and part somewhere where there are police vans... |

Since no one seems to have gotten this, I did a little Google on it and I was going to go with Withnail and I, since the idea that it could be anything as disgusting as a movie like Comando repulses me. However, I just thought of an answer without the use of a search engine. I'm going with A Thousand Acres, I'm almost certain that when the father gets arrested he is brought back home in a van, and since it takes place on a farm, there MUST be tractors there!
So... next up is...
A camera and a sailboat.

In Cast Away, Tom Hanks fashions a sail boat to flee his island home. When he gets back to the United States, he is swarmed by newspaper cameramen.
Next up: Hot chocolate and any Australian actress. |

Good one. I was thinking of either Philadelphia Story and/or High Society - the sailboat that Tracy and Dexter owned was the True Love and Dexter gives Tracy a model of it as a wedding present (famous line: "My, but she was yar!" said by Katharine Hepburn and Grace Kelly, respectively). There's also a photographer from the tabloid whose camera gets ruined during the course of their visit.
But your example works fine!

Well, the movie Chocolat is out. I'll keep thinking.

This isn't quite the same kind of thing as all the previous ones. Nationality of actresses involves knowledge outside the world of the film. (I'm not saying it's not allowed, though.) |

| Yes and no... what if it is a film that features an Australian actress as a character and not as part of her real nationality? |

| Well, I was trying to make it easier, since I'm coming up with a blank, even if I try to think of a film that features a song by the group "Hot Chocolate". |
