It IS "Iron Man."

It was not "Mission Impossible."

Got it in one!

*counts* No, it's not even close. But the actual answer is something that no other actor can claim. There are other actors who have played vampires in movies more than Lugosi (the "Twilight" series is one place to find them.) Lon Chaney (Jr) actually did something that, to date, no other actor has done.

This movie could be thought of as an adaptation of source material from a different medium, which would be technically correct. The story itself was more inspired by the source material, since it diverged radically from many specifics of the original. People familiar with the source material freely admit this was an improvement. Much of the principal cast was actually familiar with the source material- and of the roles for which they were cast. One cast member who was not made a point of sitting down and crash-coursing on their character before filming started. A lot of people expected this film to crash and burn. Boasting an excellent plot, excellent effects, and an excellent stable of actors, it was a rousing success, which naturally led to a sequel (and so on.) Two actors of the principal cast were not invited to return for the sequel. (Rather sensibly for one, but arguably not at all for the other.) What movie is this?

As it turns out, out of all the actors in Hollywood, and more to the point, in the Universal movies that BL and LC were in, Lon Chaney Jr (sometimes billed simply as "Lon Chaney" as if he was Lon Chaney Sr who was already deceased) could actually claim a singular honor. He is remembered for exactly one role. However, he actually played a number of different roles, all for Universal. There's a dubious honor he could have claimed about his filmography. What is it?

"Braveheart." (Or one of many spoofs.)

So, it's George's turn.

"I have the impression that we woke you about three-thirty this morning." "No, it was ten of four." "Did we say why?" "Uh, you said you wanted to sacrifice a virgin." "Did we?" "I was too sleepy." "Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice. Pull down your pants and slide on the ice." "Attention all personnel- incoming wounded."

No.

A few rounds ago I posted a question about Bela Lugosi ("Dracula") and Lon Chaney Jr ("the Wolf Man".) As it turns out, out of all the actors in Hollywood, and more to the point, in the Universal movies that BL and LC were in, Lon Chaney Jr (sometimes billed simply as "Lon Chaney" as if he was Lon Chaney Sr who was already deceased) could actually claim a singular honor. What is it?

No. Was there really a TV show with that name?
-
Was this "I ROBOT"?????

You are correct. I have no idea why this is coming out like this.

"Dirty pool, old man. I like it!" "He looks so sweet... just like a little entrée." "They say that a man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client. And, with God as my witness, I AM that fool!" "This is my costume. I'm a homicidal maniac- they look just like everyone else." "Three parts dynamite, with a nitroglycerin cap. It's perfect for small homes, carports and toolsheds."

Dolly Parton, working "NINE TO FIVE." Would you believe we had to sing that song in chorus?

With "Young Fool", the opening was a closeup on his feet as he walked barefoot through the desert, and Harvey Korman read the opening narration gravely. The last sentence was: "He hates but one man- the man who stole his shoes." At that point, his feet step into a bucket of water, which immediately begins steaming as he steps in it.
