Movie Trivia Thread

[Chris D]

I just don't know the answer!

[David Meek]

It's 42.

[Alloroc]

I just don't know the answer!

Bryan Singer - X-Men, Usual Suspects and Superman Returns to name a few.....

[Chris D]

Ah, cool! I really like Bryan's work. Usual Suspects is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, I heard that he is not doing X-Men 3, so I'm skeptical.

Okay, here's another good one:

What is the proper response to this statement?

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

[P-Dub]

I know the movie, but I can't come up with the proper statement.

"We've got God on our side there's no way we can fail."

I hate to say it, but I also know and LOVE the movie. I also know what comes next. Me and my buddy Dave used to say this line, like two proper little spanners when we first got cars and went out 'cruisin'.......

I'm just a tad embarrased that I know so much dorky movie trivia and don't want to jump in spoil the fun....

[David Meek]

HIT IT! :dancenana:

[dyazdani]

One of my roommates got married last summer. His reception started off with the wedding party rushing in dressed with black hats and sunglasses dancing to the music played in the last show at the end of the movie - "Everybody..."

[Sithlord]

Ah good to see someone cracked my question good job.

[Chris D]

HIT IT! :dancenana:

Yes, that's the one! I really like this thread. Vincent, feel free to jump in! I think the best movie trivia isn't stuff where you STUMP everybody, it's stuff that isn't obvious, but people can know, and it's fun to think about these various movies.

Man, there's so many great movie quotes from "Blues Brothers".

Okay, this one actually does NOT meet my criteria that I just stated, that anybody could figure it out, but it's an interesting trivia bit.

What was the original name for Return of the Jedi before it was so named? And why was the name changed?

[David Meek]

I know that one. It was Revenge Of The Jedi. Wasn't it changed because revenge wasn't supposed to be a part of the Jedi code?

[David Meek]

Here's one for you:

Why did the writers of Empire Strikes Back have to have Luke attacked by the snow creature?

[Alloroc]

Here's one for you:

Why did the writers of Empire Strikes Back have to have Luke attacked by the snow creature?

Have to have?! Not sure I follow, but I'll give it a go...... Basically, so he could have his Obi Wan vision where he has to go to find and learn from Yoda. In addition, one of the Imperial probes are missed, attracting Vader and his crew to the ice planet Hoth and so begins episode v? Is that it?!

[Kevin D]

Here's one for you:

Why did the writers of Empire Strikes Back have to have Luke attacked by the snow creature?

I swear I remember reading somewhere that he had a massive flu or something and could move enough to fight in the scene.. Maybe I'm crazy. I know that's why Indy shot the two sword guys in Radiers though..

[Race Car Driver]

"You think your going to sail off into the sunset asshole!?.... THINK AGAIN!"

[David Meek]

Nice tries Kevin and Vincent, but no cigar. :

Have to have?! Not sure I follow,

That'll become clear once the answer comes out.

[Kevin D]

I cheated, but that a good one!

[dyazdani]

Here's one for you:

Didn't he get into a wreck and they had to have an excuse for his scars?

[Chris D]

I think that's right, from what I remember.

(right on the REVENGE thing... I think that's what brings the 6 part series full circle, and why Revenge of the Sith is such a perfect title for part 3)

[David Meek]

Didn't he get into a wreck and they had to have an excuse for his scars?

You are correct sir! :T He had to have fairly extensive facial reconstruction after the accident. If you look at him in the first film and then look at him in the second or third, the differences are pretty noticable.

[imbrod]

Hi everyone.

I have another trivia question:

Name the films that have famous "Frog and scorpio story" told by anyone in the movie.
(You know: scorpio asks frog to take him over the river, frog rejects because he believes scorpio will sting him, scorpio claims that he wouldn't do it because it would be suicide for him... etc)

[Alaric]

It's 42.

So long , and thanks for all the fish!

[Alloroc]

Hi everyone.

(You know: scorpio asks frog to take him over the river, frog rejects because he believes scorpio will sting him, scorpio claims that he wouldn't do it because it would be suicide for him... etc)

I remember that one.... Years ago, when the movie came out first, I can remember myself and my friends having a great big debate, obviously drink was involved, if it was actually in the scorpio's nature to sting the frog or not, even if it meant his death also..... go figure....

Anyhow, the movie I'm referencing is Neil Jordan's 'The Crying Game".

Don't know of others off hand.....

[Chris D]

Hmmm... I know I've heard it in multiple movies. Can't remember any of them, though.

[imbrod]

Hmmm... I know I've heard it in multiple movies. Can't remember any of them, though.

That's my point exactly. It is annoying how writers use that story over and over again...

To Alloroc: Yes, that's correct answer.

[Chris D]

Aha.

Okay, here's another one:

Exactly how much electricity is required for a flux capacitor to create time travel?

[Kevin D]

Aha.

Okay, here's another one:

Exactly how much electricity is required for a flux capacitor to create time travel?

I always quote 1.21 gigawatts, and I'll leave that as my guess without cheating.

Kevin D.

[Alloroc]

Kevin D.

That sounds right to me, but not 100% sure. Maybe 99%

[Chris D]

Nope, that's exactly right! Perhaps someone else can come up with a good movie trivia question?

[David Meek]

What dish is best served cold?

[Sithlord]

Revenge

[Sithlord]

"Tickle us do we not laugh, prick us do we not bleed, wrong us do we not avenge" . This quote is from a movie that is from a franchise that Davids question is from amongst others. What movie is the above quote from? Movie and actor please

[dyazdani]

Is it Khan (Ricardo Montalban) from Star Trek 2? I think it came from a Shakespeare play originally...

[David Meek]

Okay, fine. :

Sithlord, it's Macbeth isn't it?

[Glen]

I have no idea who the actor is, but it's from Star Trek - The undiscovered Country (one of my favs).

[Chris D]

Okay, name the great movie and actor(s) associated with this classic line:

"THOSE aren't pillows!!!!"

[Sithlord]

Yes the quote is from The undiscovered country and the actors name is...Christopher Plummer.

Ok I will give this one a crack Chris is it Planes Trains and Automobiles and the actors are Steve Martin and John Candy.

[Chris D]

Yes... awesome line, and very quotable. Funny, funny movie.

[dyazdani]

Yes the quote is from The undiscovered country and the actors name is...Christopher Plummer.

That was my second choice, dang...

[Alloroc]

This is my very first question It's changes tack from the gamut of Scifi stuff for the moment....

Right, here's a famous quote from an even more famous movie.

"run this idea up the flagpole and see if anybody salutes it"

Name the movie. (easy)

Name the actor who said it. (not so easy)

Name the role the actor played. (hard, unless you know of course!)

[Sithlord]

I simply loved that movie and I saw the live version in Australia. I cheated to find out the qoute so I wont say what it is. Awesome movie.

[Chris D]

hmmm... as I hear this one used in everyday conversation in my job, I have no idea, if it came from one specific movie.

[imbrod]

Another trivia

Here's the scene, guess the movie:

Good guy is caught by 2 bad guys that guard him and make fun of him. One of them pretends to light him a cigarette then punches him in the face. Good guy says: Do it again and you're dead. Then the bad guy acts like he's about to light him again, then punches him in the face again. Good guy stands up and kills bad guy with just one punch. Then the other bad guy approaches, punches the good guy. Good guy says the same thing: Do it again and you're dead. Bad guy punches him again, but the good guy doesn't do anything as we expected, he just smokes the cigarette...

[Alloroc]

hmmm... as I hear this one used in everyday conversation in my job, I have no idea, if it came from one specific movie.

I heard it during the week and it reminded me of the movie. I knew exactly where it came(love the movie) from and reckoned it would make a great question here. The movie in question is an absolute classic, American classic even and universally considered to be one of the greatest movies ever made. Now, go figure!

[dyazdani]

I'm like Chris, I hear it all the time, but wasn't aware of a movie origin.
