Movie Trivia Thread

[David Meek]

Weren't they South African or perhaps German?

Yeah! German.

[Chris D]

I'm guessing it's because Raymond at one point in the movie refuses to fly then outlines how many crashes each airline has had?

Bingo! The airlines chopped out the whole airport scene, as they (understandably) didn't want their customers listening to information about all these airlines crashes. So suddenly Ray and Charlie are driving across the country for no reason... didn't make sense.

Inside Man?

Where did the police order the pizza from for everyone in the bank?

[Brandon B]

Careful, haven't watched that movie yet and it's pretty current. Not that pizzaria names are spoilers, but you know.

In Arthur with Dudley Moore, what did he have 50 pairs of hanging in his closet?

Aw man... And I knew the answer for Arthur without Dudly Moore...

I can't remember, it's been so long since I saw the movie, but good trivia question!

[adinfinitum]

Here's an interesting question I learnt a couple of year's ago.

In the film 'Conan the Barbarian' (directed by John Milius - the importance of which will be apparent shortly) the ending has Conan (big Arnie) in a final scene that was deliberately, remarkably similar to another film co-written by John Milius. What is this second film?

Hint: I'm talking of the decapitation scene - where Arnie throws the head. The similarity always bugged me until I found out the link.

[David Meek]

Tony, you are so right! I'd never put the two together until you posted that. I had to "IMDb it" to verify that Milius co-wrote that film so I can't post the answer. Good one. :T

I'm stumped on the Arthur question.

[adinfinitum]

I had to "IMDb it"

Excuse ignorance, what is IMDb?

[dyazdani]

Excuse ignorance, what is IMDb?

Internet Movie Database

[adinfinitum]

Do'h - of course. Thanks.

[Chris D]

Cheating if you use it here in this thread, of course. Great resource, though!

[Chris D]

Brandon, you still have me stumped on the Arthur question!

[Brandon B]

"Arthur, it's time for you to grow up."

"That's easy for you to say. You haven't got fifty pairs of short pants hanging in your closet!"

[Chris D]

Okay, I don't know the answer to this question, but it seems like good trivia. perhaps a Bond fan would know?

In all of the Bond movies put together, how many total "double-oh" agents have appeared? How many have been mentioned?

I can personally think of 3 agents that have appeared on screen, and one more that has been talked about, but there's probably several more.

[adinfinitum]

No Takers on the Conan question?

Last calls....

I can only think of 2 "00's". Hit a wall with this one.

[Kevin D]

Hell, weren't there like 5 killed in 'The Living Daylights' alone??

I'll go with 9 as my answer though.

I know, I know

The lead character played by Mickey Rourke. I love that movie, but haven't seen it in many years. Is it out on DVD?



"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." - Is that from Mystery Men ??

Hello all,

Looking for a place to jump into this thread, and finally found it!

Angel Heart, one of my favorite moves of all time! Freaky!

The killer: Robert De Niro... not gonna name the character he plays, because that might ruin it for people who haven't seen it and must!!!

-Fauzi

[fauzigarib]

Ok here's an easy one keeping De Niro in mind...

What's the name of the movie in which DeNiro's charcter's life is governed by the "One Shot" maxim, up until the last scenes of the film, where he tries convincing a close friend that he was wrong?

G' luck!

-Fauzi

[David Meek]

The Deer Hunter. An awesome movie IMO.

[fauzigarib]

The Deer Hunter. An awesome movie IMO.

Yup! That was easy... Interesting... I was just looking up the movie on the net, and turns out there is a fan site for the movie, called One Shot! What a cool name for a Deer Hunter website.

Anyways, here another De Niro one...

Quote: "Hey, that's the mouth [my wife] kisses my kids goodnight with! Are you crazy?!?!?"

Movie?

Another easy one, I know.



Fauzi

[adinfinitum]

I know that one,

Analyse This

Watched it the other week.

[David Meek]

Keeping with the De Niro theme, what film is this quote from?

"If it's gonna be amateur night, I want a hundred thousand dollars."

.

[adinfinitum]

Answer to my earlier question,

John Milius was allegedly so impressed by the end scene of Apocalypse Now that he mimicked it with his later Conan the Barbarian

One More John Milius question - just because he has such interesting links,

What is the name of another John Milius directed film, that was later used by a US Military Commander and John Milius fan as the operation name for the capture of Saddam Hussein?

[adinfinitum]

"If it's gonna be amateur night, I want a hundred thousand dollars."[/B].

Sorry to hog the answers, but one of my favourites, ;x(

Ronin

"...I want it upfront. I want it in a bank account. I want another $100,000 when you get the case"

[David Meek]

Sorry to hog the answers, but one of my favourites, ;x(

Ronin

One of mine, too.

Darn!!! I knew that one!!!

I think those have got to be some of the best car chases I've seen in movies in recent times!

Great flick!

Fauzi

[fauzigarib]

Ok. Some Francis Ford Coppola...

...

In "The Conversation", Harry Caul (Gene Hackman), is a surveillance expert hired by "The Director", played by Robert Duvall to spy on 2 seemingly random people walking through the park. An impossible job, surely.. .which is why the best has been hired to do this.

Anyway, which young (at that time, not so famous) actor plays the bit part of "The Director's" assistant?

Easy if you've seen the movie. If not, it's a must watch.

And one of the best HT surround sound test discs for those same chases.

[dyazdani]

We haven't visited this thread for a while, so I thought I'd fire it up again.

Which series of movies has the greatest number of installments?

(I actually don't know the answer, but I was thinking about it the other day)

[Chris D]

Well, if we're talking about actual movies, and not TV shows put on DVD or something like that, I'd have to go with James Bond. 26 movies now, I think?

But what about Police Academy? Aren't they up to 542 now?

[Brandon B]

Bond for sure. Unless it's something like "My little Pony" or "Land Before Time".

BB

[Kevin D]

All right...

While several musicians have acted in movies dealing with post-apocalyptic futures, name one that played themselves.....but not as a musician.

Kevin D.

[dyazdani]

Randy Travis? Wasn't he in some truck driving movie?

[Kevin D]

Randy Travis? Wasn't he in some truck driving movie?

Black Dog, but he didn't play himself..

Kevin D.

[Chris D]

Whoa, Kevin, that's a good one. I'm thinking Mick Jagger in "Freejack", but he didn't play himself either. I'll have to mull that one over.

[dyazdani]

I've got the same issue - I've thought of a bunch of movies with musicians in them, but none that played themselves.

[dyazdani]

OK,

How about Eminem in 8 Mile? :lol:

[Kevin D]

IMDB shows him playing Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith, Jr. and I don't think 8-mile was set in a 'post-apocalyptic futures'

I figured someone would bring up "Freejack".. There may be more then one answer, but I could only think of this one.

Kevin D.

[dyazdani]

Mick Fleetwood was in Running Man, but I don't know that he played himself.

[Chris D]

You're right, he was, but he didn't play himself.

Detroit is not "post-apocalyptic"? Hmmm.... perhaps you're right. Perhaps it's just "apocalyptic".

[dyazdani]

I don't think 8-mile was set in a 'post-apocalyptic futures'

Close though, it was set on "the streets" :lol:

[Kevin D]

Bond for sure. Unless it's something like "My little Pony" or "Land Before Time".

BB

Bond's at 21 now, IMDB is showing 28 Godzilla movies..

Kevin D.

[Chris D]

True, not sure if you could really count the Godzilla movies as a "series", though. If I remember right, the character that has actually appeared in more movies than any other is Dracula.

[Brandon B]

Bond's at 21 now, IMDB is showing 28 Godzilla movies..

Kevin D.

Crap. You'd think I'd have thought of that with a half dozen on DVD and another 10 cloggin up the DVR. They're my kid's. No, really).
