Trivia Game

[criterionmaster]

Okay this could be an awesome thread. I want one person to ask a triva question (Example: "What films were originally silent, but then remade with sound?"). It can be whatever you want but you have to have the answer to the question so when we get them right you can tell us. I will approve the question, who wants to go first?

[ie]

In this movie, there is a horse named Khartoum. What is this movie?

[agentknight]

Black Beauty! Wait...

[ie]

Nope. As a hint: The horse's name was definitely in the novel.

[agentknight]

The joke was that the horse in Black Beauty was actually called Black Beauty. Yeeeah.

[ie]

Oh. You see, since I haven't seen Black Beauty, I didn't know that.

Come on, it's not impossible. It's a movie that's probably in everyone's Top 50.

[captainofbeef]

The Godfather is the answer. Though its not in my top 50.

[ie]

Your first statement was correct, but your second statement was not.

edit: Just a joke. I can understand why it's not in your Top 50, although I'd like to hear why.


Okay, your turn.


(I suggest that if we are 100% certain that we're right, just go ahead and post your own trivia question. Otherwise we'll forget, and stuff.)

[captainofbeef]

What type of grips does Eastwood have on his pistols in TGBU and For a Few Dollars More??

And The Godfather is not in my top 50 because I have seen 50 better films than it. Still a ten out of ten and an excellent film though.

[criterionmaster]

We give up, tell us.

[agentknight]

The Godfather is also missing from my top 50. When you've seen film of immense beauty like Wings of Desire and the New World, The Godfather is just plain dull.

[criterionmaster]

Okay I will ask the new question. What films were made and then remade by the same director?

[kiddo]

Are you thinking about Escape from New York and Escape from L.A.

Oh, and it was John Carpenter.

?

[captainofbeef]

Well, there is The Man Who Knew Too Much, which was made twice by Hitchcock.

?

No, Escape from L.A. is a sequel. And yes Beed, that is one of them. There are more though.

[kiddo]

Yeah, that's correct. But I think it can be looked at as a remake in some way...

Nevertheless, Michael Mann has remade one of his own films. He transformed L.A. Takedown into Heat.

[captainofbeef]

Another one is Ozu remaking his own Story of Floating Weeds.

[criterionmaster]

That was all I was thinking of, Floating Weeds and Man Who Knew Too Much. There are probably more but now someone else can go. I prefer a question that has multiple answers.

[ie]

I wouldn't mind a question with multiple answers, I just don't want to wait around a half a week while someone tries to figure out the other half of the question.

It should be: if you get at least one of the answers correct, then we go on.


I couldn't think of any good trivia questions. And believe me, I tried.

[criterionmaster]

Okay if someone can get three of these they can go (there are more than three). What actors have played the same character in three films, three different times? (So say someone played *made up character*, that same character in three films. Then went and did that same thing with two other characters 2 more times.) Tell me if you are confused by the question. And when you answer please tell me the movies in which they played the same character.

[kiddo]

You don't think about types of John McClane and folks like that, do you?

[Clark Nova]

Got one! he played saruman 3 times, and dracula and fu manchu a shitload of times: i speak, of course, of


Christopher Lee

[Clark Nova]

...except i need 2 more. crap.

[criterionmaster]

Well you got 1!

[Clark Nova]

does it have to be three separate movie series? like, what if the actor plays multiple roles in the same movie

[criterionmaster]

It has to be three seperate series, yes. *Clue: the actor doesn't have to appear on screen in the film, he can also just provide the voice.*

[criterionmaster]

Oh my God, I can't believe I messed up so bad. EDIT: The question should read "What actors/actresses have appeared as the same character in three different films, in more than one series?" Not three like I originally put, Chris Lee is still an answer. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

[criterionmaster]

Well even though Michael Myers isn't one since there is no Shrek 3, I will give it to you. You are up!

Thus why I don't recommend these overly complicated questions... You're bound to get somebody killed. And then it will all just end in tears.

[ie]

I think the C-Man wanted me to consult him first before posting trivia, but he isn't around, so:


What early 2000s movie includes a famous director's name in its full title but was not directed by this very well-received director?

Hints:
- Might be considered a sequel, or more likely a knock-off, of this famous director's original movie, which was made just four years before the "remake."
- Features the same word in its title, but features a different subtitle.
- A singer is one of the main characters.
