  1. This is probably the most forgettable movie featuring an iconic character, and the last one featuring arguably the most popular actor in the role. Cannon Films had obtained the film rights to the franchise and hoped that this would be a blockbuster that would get them out of their financial troubles. In fact, the original version was cut from two hours down to 90 minutes, as the producers had hoped that theaters could run more showtimes. (A six-hour span would be four 90-minute slots, but only three 120-minute slots.) It didn't work out that way, as the movie was critically panned and a box-office dud. I suspect that most people would think the star of the film to be quite likeable, as that certainly was his on-screen persona. Oddly, though, many of the IMDb trivia notes about this film indicate that he didn't get along with the director or co-stars. The vast majority of the external scenes were filmed in and around Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. Producers Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus couldn't afford to shoot in New York City. In the star's autobiography, he refers to this movie in only one sentence: "The less said about ----- the better." George
  2. Once again, I suspect that there's a in my future... George
  3. Baby, although I chose this lonely life It seems it's stranglin' me now All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic car They're all laughin' at the lie Oh, I've been used Ooh-oh-oh-oh I've been a fool, oh, what a fool I broke all the rules Oh, yeah Baby, there's an enormous crowd of people They're all after my blood I wish maybe they'd tear down the walls of this theater Let me out Let me out! Oh, I'm so blind, oh, (so blind) I'm blind I wasted time, wasted, wasted, (wasted time) wasted time Walking on a wire, oh, (high wire) high wire George
  4. I think the site was down for a couple of days. Anyway, John Hurt Partners Ryan O'Neal George
  5. I was going to say "Green Lantern," but that was Peter Sarsgaard, not Stellan Skarsgard. Oh, well. George
  6. Matt Damon True Grit (2010) Jeff Bridges George
  7. Woody Harrelson Now You See Me Michael Caine George
  8. I have a feeling I've seen it, but I'll need more clues. George
  9. Ah. I think I've seen part of it on TV. George
  10. It looks like Danny Kaye in some sort of time-travel movie. I'd guess "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court," but that was Bing Crosby, not Kaye. George
  11. I remember seeing it broadcast on network TV, and all of the flatulence was replaced by horses neighing. WW's up. George
  12. I can think of a number of movies with any one of them. I just can't think of one with ALL of them. George

  14. With the exception of Mo'nique, I could at least name one movie the others were in (if not several). I think I've heard of Octavia Spencer, and I might have even seen her in a movie, but couldn't pick her out in a lineup. Of course, I'm not the ONLY other one playing, so... George
  15. You must like to play solitaire... George
  16. So...Herb Alpert was an uncredited drummer on Mt. Sinai, and Switzer was an uncredited slave. Not too obscure. George
