  1. I remember that there was a Man from UNCLE episode of the A-Team. I think it was even called "The UNCLE Affair," with each segment given an Act number (as per TMFU). By that time Robert Vaughn was overseeing the A-Team. David McCallum was an old associate, who, IIRC, turned out to be the bad guy. The Girl from UNCLE was the spinoff. I don't know that I'd call it a rival organization, but the bad guy organization was THRUSH. I don't know about the movies, but I'm going with The Man from UNCLE. George
  2. I don't mind being credited with the assist, but you made the shot. George
  3. Yes. "Free Enterprise" is about a couple of ~30-year-olds, both big sci-fi fans. One has a steady job, the other is more of a gadabout. They meet and befriend Bill Shatner (playing himself) in a library. It's actually quite cute. Rent it, or stream it, or whatever you kids do today. George
  4. Loaded Weapon 1 Miss Congeniality Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story Free Enterprise George
  5. No. If Raf doesn't give the answer, I'll be forced to use obvious movies. George
  6. More than half the fan mail for this series could not conceivably be read by its addressee. I can see four reasons for this: The addressee was very young The addressee was illiterate The addressee was of a different nationality from most of his fans The addressee was blind. The first is rather unlikely. Why would anyone send fan mail to someone too young to read? (For that matter, how would anyone that young have a major role in a TV series?) The second is possible, though if he can't read fan mail, he can't read scripts. The third is possible, as some shows do very well overseas. The fourth is also possible, though, unless the fans didn't KNOW he was blind, why would they send him mail? Ruminating... George
  7. Interesting, but no. You're all VERY familiar with this actor, but not from these movies. He was not the star of any of them, but they were more than just cameo roles. George
  8. Nope. Unfortunately, almost any other movie I could give (except Miss Congeniality 2) would immediately give it away. So let's see if Raf or WW can get it. George
  9. Loaded Weapon 1 Miss Congeniality Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story George
  10. You got Scarface. You're up. George
  11. Broadcast News Jack Nicholson Five Easy Pieces George
  12. The Godfather Diane Keaton Looking for Mr. Goodbar George
  13. Correct. Robbie Hart was "The Wedding Singer," and Bobby Boucher was "The Waterboy." Some of the other names were from fairly well-known films, though the characters' names wouldn't be as recognizable. I'm glad Nicky and Zohan were recognizable. I was afraid I'd have to use Happy Gilmore... George
  14. I have to assume you're joking, considering all of Hopper's films, but let's go with Waterworld Jeanne Tripplehorn Basic Instinct George
  15. I'll give it to you, although the movie was Goldfinger. This is where she announces herself to James Bond, with the best character name in films. Homaged by "Alotta Fagina" in one of the Austin Powers movies. George
  16. That's the one. Incidentally, "Pulp Fiction" holds the record for f-bombs among major motion pictures. George
  17. Unlawful Entry Madeleine Stowe Last of the Mohicans George
  18. This one might be tough, but it also might be easy. George
  19. Robbie Hart Bobby Boucher Sonny Koufax Barry Egan Dave Buznik John Clasky Longfellow Deeds Nicky Paul Crewe Michael Newman Zohan Chuck Levine George
  20. Raf is, was, and ever shall be up. George
  21. This movie was 170 minutes long. The f-word and derivatives of it appear 226 times. Interestingly, this isn't the record, even among major motion pictures. When the director submitted the film to the MPAA, they gave it an "X rating". He then made some cuts and resubmitted it a second time; again the film was given an "X rating" (one of the reasons apparently being that a character was shot too many times). He yet again made some further cuts and submitted it a third time; yet again it was given an "X". The director refused to cut the film any further to qualify it for an R. He and the producer arranged a hearing with the MPAA. They brought in a panel of experts, including real narcotics officers, who stated that not only was the film an accurate portrayal of real life in the drug underworld, but ultimately it was an anti-drug film, and should be widely seen. This convinced the arbitrators that the third submitted cut of the film deserved an "R rating" by a vote of 18-2. However, the director surmised that if the third cut of the film was judged an "R" then the very first cut should have been an "R" as well, to which the MPAA disagreed. However, since he believed the studio execs wouldn't know the differences between the different cuts that had been submitted,he released the first cut of the film to theaters anyway, confessing to the fact only after its home video release several months later.
