    Movie Trivia Thread

    We've had some fun in our music subforum with music trivia. I really enjoy movie trivia, so let's try it out here. Ask or answer, let's talk about movie trivia.

    I'll start with a new question I developed today:

    Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino, two great actors, have appeared together in only two movies. Interestingly enough, they only appear in the same scene together in only ONE movie! Name the two movies.

      Wow, that was a fast one. Yup, the reason that they weren't in the same scene in Godfather II was that DeNiro played Pacino's father (Marlon Brando) as a young man.

      Okay, ummmmm... who played Cougar's WSO "Merlin" in Top Gun, that rides with Tom Cruise in the final dogfight scene?

        Unless i'm mistaken, that would be a younger Tim Robbins.
        His callsign should have been "Nuke!"
        heh heh
        Not exactly the breakout role for him

          Who played the part of Lassie (the girl that would start to howl at the most intimate of moments) in the 1982 academy award winning movie "porkys". okay maybe it didnt win an academy award but I was only 14 when it came out so my memory is kinda blurry.

                  Funny, that very scene was on TV last night when I started this thread.

                  Okay, since Top Gun was the first movie that my family owned when I was a kid, and I watched it a billion times, here's another one:

                  What is the first spoken line in Top Gun by any person?

                          Let's get a little more esoteric then. What's the name of the big-brother "corporation" in the Alien/Aliens series of movies?

                            My kinda question..... Weyland-Yutani Corporation, or 'The Company' as it was called in the movies......

                              That would be the Weyland Corporation.
                              I love the story tie in, and the fact that The Bishop android character was physically modelled after Weyland himself. Good thinking from the continuity people.
                              Hudson and Hicks always made me laugh too.

                              Speaking of Hudson and Hicks...
                              What was the first film that saw Paxton, Biehn and Henriksen together on the credit list?

                              or Another one:
                              What was the next movie that saw Bill Paxton together again with Lance Henriksen?

                              cheers,
                              Mikey
                              P.S. forget Kevin Bacon, as far as 6 degrees goes, Paxton is just as good. Henriksen is actually quite useful too, for that game. The man is the KING of horror movies. PumpkinHead is case in point

                                Leef, you're talking about the Terminator, methinks.

                                Next one: this one bugged me for a long time, watching the movie. You know the kind where you just can't place one of the actors or actresses? The main character girl in Napoleon Dynamite, that becomes good friends with Napoleon and has a ponytail sticking out the side of her head--what other movie did she star in many years prior?

                                (sithlord, good one on Top Gun! Many people think it's "talk to me, Goose", by Maverick)

                                  Chris I have seen that Movie like hmmm too many times but hey it's a classic. George well done on Arnold I quite liked that quick cameo. Ok this is for the Star Trek fans. What famous director made an appearance in the last movie (hope not) on the bridge of the Enterprise when it was being attacked?

                                    Hi,

                                    Not trying to be pedantic or anything, but hey, we're geeks, well I am anyway and it's what geeks do!

                                    In 'Alien' timeline, the company was named 'Weyland Corporation' for Aliens vs. Predator.

                                    However further into the future, for later movies(bar Resurection), it was called the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. For Resurection, the Company ceases to exist - an interstellar international political military force called "United Systems Military" now controls all aspects of previous Weyland Yutani involvement

                                    Here's some trivia - The name of Weyland-Yutani was introduced by Ridley Scott, which was named after his old neighbors. He them hated with a passion, so it resulted in him deciding to name the evil "company" after them!
                                    Vincent.

                                      Yep Chris, terminator it is.
                                      Funny how you go back, watch some older movie and see today's star as yesterday's "bit part".

                                      The second movie, was of course, Near Dark. Excellent flick that had both Henriksen and Paxton together again as Roving Vampires tearing around the countryside in an RV.
                                      Hey actually, come to think about it, I think the Lead guy in that flick, Caleb, was Also in Top Gun. Talk about 6 degrees of separation.

                                      cheers,

                                        I've been a big fan of the Aliens series myself (except I hated Aliens Resurrection). However, is that a question or a statement, Alloroc? lol

                                          It could have been a good question, if I was thinking straight! :roll:

                                            That was a good one though. I've seen Alien and Aliens about 20-30 each, and I had to think hard to recall that information.

                                            Ok, here's a question for comedy buffs. The this movie.

                                              Okay, we've got three trivia questions going at the same time now. While that might be okay, this could get confusing. Let's say:

                                              1. Use boldface if you're asking a trivia question.

                                              2. If you're answering a trivia question, use boldface and quote the question.

                                              So, to repost my latest question, The main character girl in Napoleon Dynamite, that becomes good friends with Napoleon and has a ponytail sticking out the side of her head--what other movie did she star in many years prior?

                                              Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

                                                I remembered when I saw Nepoleon Dynamite it was killing me cause I knew her face. She also did that movie with the sealion. I only remember the song. I think the name was Andre.

                                                Now answer my trivia question. lol

                                                  Wow, way to go! I didn't think anybody would pull out her more obscure appearances. The one I was actually thinking of was "Waterworld".



                                                  She was the girl with the tattoo on her back that told the way to dry land. That just bugged the snot out of me as I watched Napoleon Dynamite. I couldn't place where I had seen her before.

                                                  Sorry, audioqueso, I don't know the answer to your question!

                                                    Oh yeahhhh... she was in that movie too. I only saw it once.
                                                    That was a good one though. Most people that saw Napoleon Dynamite with me didn't figure it out.

                                                    "...your birthmark looks like shit!"

                                                    And the answer is......
                                                    Superstar!!!!

                                                      Okay, for the "corporation name" question, Weyland-Yutani was the answer I was looking for. :T

                                                        Was it a question? Allroc already mentioned that in two of his posts.

                                                          Perhaps another question? One of my favorite movie trivia questions:

                                                          In the original Star Wars trilogy, who was the only non-major character (i.e. Luke, Leia, Vader, etc) to appear in all three films?

                                                                as far as NON-leading actors go.
