Movie Quiz 2000

[PhoeChiMalkieGal]

I ask a question, first person to answer it right gets to ask the next and so on. Like in the Film Forum, but might be more interesting.

The car "ELENOR" in "Gone in Sixtey Seconds" is what?

[Roast?]

OO saw that film, pretty good :)

You expect me to remember one car out of 50?

I just guess then... was it the lamborgini (sp?!) that they had to wait for the owners to have abit of hows ya father before they could nick it?

[PhoeChiMalkieGal]

Nope. *ggls* hey if i can remember (only cos I fell in love with the "unicorn") im sure someone else can, if no one has got it by the time i log on tommorow ill give the answer and pose another question.

[Roast?]

Its that car at the end, the one his brother 'buys' for him, but i can't remember the car, i want to say Ford mustang a 1964 ford mustang ... but thats proberly wrong.

[PhoeChiMalkieGal]

1973 Mach 1 Ford Mustang.

[Roast?]

YAY :laugh:

[travis bickle]

the island is called isla nublar

here are TWO (yes im greedy and selfish) questions to keep you going

1. in pulp fiction, we all know jules' 'i will strike down upon thee with great vengeance' speech but where can it be located in the bible?

2.what is the sixth rule of fight club?

[Alienist[2]]

Sorry for not having read the last part of the thread but I though in answer to the first question Eleanor wsa spelt like that, and I thought the car was a 67 Shelby GT 500

[Alienist[2]]

Just read last post, Ezekial 25:17, never seen fight club, but on the advert they only went up to 3 :(

[Roast?]

Jesus christ, Knight1 maybe right about somthing.. however i'm very suprised he got into a cinema to see a 15, who brought the ticket... was it your mummy?

[travis bickle]

yep thats right

i had a better fight club question earlier and forgot it so i came up with that one instead :)

[Alienist[2]]

Dooooooh should of got here earlier i knew the answer to that chinatown one, haha he had to do that action scene in the water all by himself hahahahahaah, hahahaahaha shes dead hahaahahahahha.

[Squirrel]

So Alienist it is your question now :)

[Lorelei]

Has the Fight Club question been answered yet?! (Me can't be bothered 2 go back and look :dozey: ). Was it...erm... newbies had 2 fight on their first night?! :hmph:

[Alienist[2]]

I'm only going to say this 1 more time. If you can't be polite then I will just delete ALL your messages. Hope you take notice this time.

[Edited by Dusk on 09-09-2000 at 12:26 PM]

[Squirrel]

not playing with you unless you delete your first sentence :)

[Alienist[2]]

Is that OK? :)

[Squirrel]

no it is still there :)

[Alienist[2]]

D'oh, 30 mins have passed??! what sort of a stupid <> rule is that????, its my post!!!!!

OK i take back that abuse aimed at roast, sorry roast, u shouldn't of got in my way
<Nope - not accepting that. I've never seen sucj a jalf arsed apology in my life. Roast has every right to post in here, its not getting in your way, so just grow up or go away OK?>

[Edited by Dusk on 09-09-2000 at 12:28 PM]

[Squirrel]

but you could have cancelled it out the first time but you didn't which is a shame.

[Squirrel]

oh dear ;(

[Snell The Goose]

ok ok ok

No flames :cry:

Snell when you do this it just makes more work for me. Please don#'t bother arguing with people like that in future.

[Edited by Dusk on 10-09-2000 at 10:31 AM]

[travis bickle]

hey where have those lock, stock questions gone ?!?

i watched today for research and when i come back the questions have gone!

bah!

nobody has managed to get my fight club question yet either!

[Squirrel]

As you can see we had a visit - you had better repeat your question cuz its on the other page :)

I don't know the answer :hmph:

[travis bickle]

my question was- what is the 6th rule of fight club?

[Lorelei]

I think that I missed all the action again <sigh>. Right, Brad Pitt :P, Fight Club, must focus...

[Alienist[2]]

If its ur first night u have to fight


My questions were before dusk deleted them because social situations are not allowed in this forum. Are what did Barry the Baptist call the two guys he sent to get the guns?

And who gave Ed money to bet against Hatchet Harry?

<Don't try and act the injured party here. I warned you to stop being abusive and told you that if you didn't I would delete all your posts. I've left this so you can read it>

[Edited by Dusk on 10-09-2000 at 09:47 PM]

[travis bickle]

who gave ed the money?

well theres soap, bacon and tom that helped put up the original £100,000 but when harry raises the bet its harry himself that lends ed the money

[travis bickle]

oh btw your fight club guess was wrong- that is the 8th rule

as for barry the baptist- doesnt he call them f**king northern monkeys or somethin?

[travis bickle]

ok sticking with modern films- how many decapitations are there in sleepy hollow?

[Alienist[2]]

7

[travis bickle]

wrong!

[Lorelei]

:talk: So what is the 6th rule of FC?! If I don't find out soon then I will have 2 hire the vid again coz it will drive me :rolling: !!

[travis bickle]

the 6th rule of fight club is no shirt, no shoes!

fools

:laugh:

[PhoeChiMalkieGal]

I checked it on the internet site, it says 1973 Mach 1 Ford Mustang, but that could have been the origional Elenor as the modern film is infact a remake.

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

There are 18 decapitations in the film Sleepy Hollow,

ok try these two;

1) What is the make and model of mobile phone used throughout The Matrix?


2) What is the number of the phone Trinity was using at the beginning of the movie?

[Roast?]

Ha, just came back to this thread after not reading it for a couple of days :(

:eek:

Anyway, i don't know the answer :(

[Roast?]

Ohh, it was a Nokia phone i know that much.

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

Yes it was Nokia....keep going and no, don't cut and paste nokias phone range in here....

[PhoeChiMalkieGal]

555 - 2480 ?

[Dusk]

Its the same one my other half has but I can't be bothered to get up and look :)

[-=Apex=-]

I know i know it's a Nokia 7210 :) :E

I wanted to get that one but i got the 8210 instead :E

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

The mobile phone used most of the time during the movie is the Nokia 8810i


The number of the phone Trinity was using at the beginning of the movie is 555-0690

[Alienist[2]]

I know kung fu?!! SHOW ME!!!

There is no spoon?!!

Stop trying to hit me and hit me!!!!

Now an easy question, what is their ship called???

And what is the last human city called???

Both religiously stolen from the Bible, *******s, I knew I should have copywrited that book when i had the chance!!

[stresshead]

The ship is the Nebuchadnezzer (I hope that's spelt right, it sounds O.K)

and, I think the last human city was Zion where Tank & Dozer came from !!!!

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

Some snippets of trivia regarding The Matrix

Inside the Nebuchadnezzar there is a brief shot of a plaque with the ship's name, above which it says "Mark 3 no. 11." The Biblical verse Mark 3:11 is, "And whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out saying, `You are the Son of God.'"

Nebuchadnezzar was a biblical Babylonian king who was instructed by God in dreams to destroy the inhabitants of Jerusalem because they worshipped false prophets.

Check out the room numbers for Trinity and Neo. When the cops bust in on Trinity in the opening scene the number is 303 ("trinity," 3) and since Neo is The One the number of his apartment is 101.

enough...

Hard one coming up:-

from the film Star Wars - The Phantom Menace
Which character from a LucasArts video game appears in the audience cheering the pod race?

[travis bickle]

indiana jones

[-reaper-]

No, no, NO! That was a false rumour that Munny was in the crowd. While there are a couple of big white headed on-lookers in the crowd, it has been confirmed by Lucasfilm that none of them are infact Munny.

So there.

And as for the Indianna Jones rumour, don't get me started!

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

I thought it WAS confirmed that Manny (munny sp.) from Grim Fandango WAS in the crowd....but then again may be not. One of the pods from 2001 is IN the Scrap Yard....work that one out....Also Qui Gon Jinn's communicator....Gillette Lady Shave...I kid you not

[-reaper-]

Does this mean I win, then?

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

No...

What plane was used as the "enemy" plane for the majority of the training missions over the desert in Top Gun?

[PhoeChiMalkieGal]

a russion one

mig something or other

[Roast?]

Wern't they A5 Skyhawks?

Or F4's?

If they were Russian plabes, prberly the Mig 21 Fishback.

[[B-A]Silent.Partner]

A-4 skyhawks, wasn't it?

[-reaper-]

As a point of interest, you can now buy yourself one of these planes for £50,000. They come complete with air-con, anti-freeze windows, ejector seat, full leather interior and can be sprayed any colour of your choice.

It's true.

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

A 4 Skyhawks were predominantly used as the "enemy" planes in the training missions, The actual plane used as the soviet mig-28 at the begining and the end was a disguised F-5 Tiger IIs...shame

[Edited by [QWS] Baby Bear on 12-09-2000 at 03:24 PM]

[PhoeChiMalkieGal]

fast mean ones

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

:)

ok how about, what was the nickname for Justin in the film Event Horizon?

can you imagine one of these with a KENWOOD sticker on the bubble or a NO FEAR sticker on the tailplane. :E

[Complic1ty]

Smug git or something along those lines

BTW i seriously doubt Russia would give the USA migs so they could inspect them fly them and then make a film showing them get shot down

[PhoeChiMalkieGal]

And by pure chance or stroke of luck the film top gun is on tonight so you too can find out the amazing planes names

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

ermm I told you the answer already....F5 Tiger II's (pieces of ****)

And the answer to Justin was Baby Bear (where I got my nick name from)

[Roast?]

Yep BBis quite right, i don't really know my planes :)

On further investigation, one of the F5's used in the film is still being flown by the Brazilian air force :)

[-reaper-]

That would be the Brazilian Air Farce, wouldn't it?

[Roast?]

Flying their old aircraft off an old WWII RN carrier :)

Cheap skates!

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

come on somebody ask another question, bit harder this time...

[Roast?]

Personally i wouldn't put too much faith in Top Guns technical 'correctness'. Just watching it last night, i saw several glaring errors, and i was half asleep!

However not as bad as a Tom Clancy book based on HMS Norfolk, a type 23 like i'm on. Whilst i was reading it, i got out a pen, corrected it, and sent it back to him!!!

I am awaiting a reply!!

[BombBomb]

99

[BombBomb]

Another 100 for the :bomb:

:E

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

Top Gun...lol.....factual correctness...lol....nothing was right with the entire film...military correctness was a joke

Factual errors: Numerous violations of standard Navy operating procedures.

Factual errors: Numerous errors of fact regarding Navy equipment and their capabilities.

Continuity: Stinger's ribbons on his chest.

Continuity: The armament of the F-14s change in midair.

Factual errors: It is impossible to fly two aircraft inverted so closely together.

Continuity: The distance between the aircraft after Goose takes the picture.

Continuity: The squadron markings on both Iceman and Maverick's Tomcats change a few times. Both of the original markings are not real Tomcats squadron markings.

Continuity: Maverick's watch before and after the training flight.

Continuity: Merlin says from the back seat "we're running low on gas," and then taps the fuel gauge in the front seat.

Factual errors: The main rear cockpit display in an F14 is a Tactical Information Display, not a PPI scope as indicated.

Continuity: Maverick's tailhook retracts too quickly when he decides to rescue Cougar. Additionally, is is subsequently visible in a later shot.

Continuity: Charlie sits down on the counter in the ladies room without ever having stood up.

Continuity: In the ladies room scene Charlie loses the lipstick she was holding.

Continuity: Charlie gains her folder when exits the ladies room.

Continuity: Iceman suddenly appears next to Wolfman in the locker.

Continuity: Maverick's hair during the elevator scene.

Continuity: Numerous positional inconsistencies during the volleyball game.

Errors in geography: The Top Gun training area is over a Californian desert, over 300 miles from the coast. When Maverick enters the flat spin, it is reported that he is "heading out to sea."

Factual errors: Ejection seats are built to be higher than the helmets of the crew. Goose's head would not have hit the canopy when his seat went off the rail. The top of the seat would have absorbed/deflected the force of impact and Goose would float safely to the ground.

Factual errors: All Navy pilots wear NOMEX flight gloves.

Continuity: Charlie is wearing a grey skirt in the classroom which turns black when she approaches Maverick on the motorbike.

Continuity: Amount of ice in Maverick's glass in the airport bar.

Continuity: Viper's sunglasses after Maverick's first landing after the accident.

Factual errors: When Maverick is launched to help Iceman, he is more than 110 miles from him. Claiming he'll be there in 30 seconds, he would have to travel at 13,200mph (Mach 18). His F-14's top speed would be Mach 2.

Continuity: Supposedly the final dogfight happens over water, yet a mountain is visible in the corner of one shot.

Continuity: Maverick fires the same missile from the same wing station at least three times.

Continuity: The lettering on the front of Sundown's helmet disappears once he and Maverick are back on the ground after their first flight together.

Factual errors: Navy pilots fly with sun visors down.

Revealing mistakes: The signal that Maverick is given before he takes off for the final fight scene is not the launch signal, but rather the "remove power" signal. This signal is given early in F-14 launch procedures, not right before launch.

Continuity: Maverick's sunglasses are (not) on when Slider picks him up after they return to the carrier.

Factual errors: When Hollywood's plane is hit in the final fight, he ejects. However, the person that ejected is clearly a skydiver, as there is no chair, and "Hollywood" throws open his parachute. His parachute would automatically open.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: "Ladies Room" sign on the window of the toilets isn't inverted when Maverick goes inside. That's because we're looking in a mirror.

Revealing mistakes: In the bar scene when Goose is playing "Great Balls of Fire," the movement of his hands does not match the music.

Factual errors: There is no Mig 28. Soviet fighter planes were designated by odd numbers. Even numbers were reserved for ground attack craft. The "Migs" shown are F5 Tiger II's.

Continuity: Position of the wine bottle at Charlie's place.

Continuity: In the first "hop" the "hard deck" is 10,000 feet. At the very begining of the hop, they are mere feet over the desert floor. Throughout this time, dogfights abound between the aircraft, when all the time they are obviously well below the hard deck of 10,000 feet. As the fight continues, Jester decides to dive straight down, and Goose says, "He's going for the hard deck!" After Jester gets "killed," he tells them to, "Get [their] butts above the hard deck and return to base." (Another question: Why do they have to go back up above 10,000 feet if the dogfight is over and they are returning to base and going to land anyway?)

Continuity: During Maverick's first training dogfight with Jester, Goose tells Maverick that he (Jester) is going ballistic. In the sequence following where Maverick goes vertical in pursuit of Jester, there are four or five frames where the Tomcat is actually ahead of Jester's A-4 Skyhawk.

Factual errors: When Maverick is flying toward Iceman, he says he is flying at supersonic. However, later his plane is shown with the wings forward. At high speed, F-14 should have the wing toward the tail and usually additional small wings come out of the side of the mid-section.

[[B-A]Silent.Partner]

You could also just have posted the relevant imdb page; it'd have made the posting a bit less large :E

[Complic1ty]

uh yah

[-reaper-]

Wow! Cheers, BB, made me laugh! :)

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

not really [BA} some people may not have been bothered to go to it...

[[B-A]Silent.Partner]

Hmmm, knowing people, I'm inclined to agree with you on that point. To get back to the subject of the whole post though, let me ask a rather simple question. On which Buster Keaton movie was last years release of the horrible "the Bachelor" movie based?

[Roast?]

OO they missed a biggy :)

In the brief on the Enterprise, the pilots were told the Mig 28's were armed with the exocet anti ship missile, and they can be fired 100miles away.

Now the Russians do not use the Exocet, the French and a few smaller countrys do. The range of the MM38 exocet, is 42 miles, and the MM40 is closer to 50. Versions of the ASM (air to surface missile) exocet, reach ranges closer to 60nm.

The Russians would have proberly been armed with the Kettle or Sunburn ASM, but i have never heard of a Mig 28, so i don't know if it could be fired, as the missiles are rather large...

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

There never has or never will be mig-28's, all MiG's are labelled with an odd number....mig 25 , 27, 29 etc but nope no mig 28's.

Oh yeah The bachelor was based on the 1925 film Seven Chances. And it was also a remake of the 1904 film Personal.

[[B-A]Silent.Partner]

Bonus points for that one Bear. With your answer, the floor is open again for other questions.

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

Sergio Leone was most famous for his "stranger with no name" spaghetti westerns, which japanese film was the first one based on, who directed the japaneses film and which Japanese actor played the lead role?

[Edited by [QWS] Baby Bear on 18-09-2000 at 08:03 PM]

[Lorelei]

All this air craft terminology... :rolling:
:P

[[B-A]Silent.Partner]

Toshiro Mifune was the actor, Akira Kurosawa the director and Yojimbo the first one on which For a fistful of dollars was based. Sanjuro was the second. You're looking at a fan here (just bought and viewed Ran today and thank the lord for specialist video stores where you can get movies like that).
I think I read somewhere that Clint Eastwood, for his movies, and also for those spaghetti westerns, seriously studied Toshiro Mifunes acting.

[Roast?]

BTW with the Mig numbering system, thats not entirely correct :)

Flicking through a little ole book i have here, the Mig 28 was a plane suggested to the Russian Airforce, by a company other then Mikoyan-Gurevich (and yes, that is spelt right! Don't even think about it Arby...) who have suplied all the other migs.

MG Is the politicaly backed company, the other company, the name escapes me, was by the other company, the one the military backed. As always the politicians win.

There have been a protoype mig 24, 26, 28 and currently a mig 30. However none of them saw past the protype stage, because the Government back MG which made it worth their while :)

Looks like the same system works in Russia as it does here :)

[Squirrel]

Lorey it is a male bonding session - I find it quite warming meself :laugh:

[Roast?]

Boys with toys :rolleyes:

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

Roast?:I bow to your superior knowledge Roast, I was led to beileve that the numbering system for mig aircraft is NATO based and not Russian, same with the naming system i.e. fishbed, flogger, foxbat, fulcrum etc etc. Was the other company Sukhoi ? I am extremely impressed with the performance of the SU - 27, performing some pretty good stuff at Plymouth.


Silent.Partner: That was damn fine matey, damn excellent :) just what I was looking for. oh Yes!!!! your go!!

[Roast?]

Get up!!

The way the Russians number their hardware is abit complicated :)

They call everything a project number, eg

project 118 and then a class title, eg bars.

So A bars class submaine would be a project 118:- Bars.

Then NATO comes along, and calls it project 118B (god knows why) and insteed of calling it Bars, they call it Akula.

So now, in our eyes, its not a 118 Bars class, its a 118B Akula class :rolleyes:

The plane system is slightly differerent though...

Prototypes are giving a project number, which is different then the final version (if it ever makes it that far) They also come up with a name eg Mig 21bis, then NATO comes along, changes everything, calls it a Fishbed, a mig 21 fishbed, and thats how you get your end result.

Although fun and games apear when NATO only calls it a Fishbed, or a Fulcrum, but none NATO countrys have their own name for it, eg Sniper!

The system is a complete shambles, I say we just go by what the Russians call them!

[[B-A]Silent.Partner]

Hmmm, another question...I'll do an easy one again. What is the nickname (or callsign) of Mel Gibson in the movie Mad Max, painted underneath the sidewindow of his police car?

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

ermm Ok...glad you didn't ask a hard one... *gulp*

[[B-A]Silent.Partner]

Hehehe, I reserve the hard ones for bad days *grin*. Seriously though, I thought it was an easy question, as you only have to have seen the movie once to have known it. Erm, either that or I remember too many details than is entirely natural, but the jury is still in debate on that point. If it turns out to be too exotic, just say it and I'll ask another one.

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

i didn't say I was giving in..........:)

[[QWS] Baby Bear]

Give in :(

[[B-A]Silent.Partner]

/stealthily starts up internet connection

Hmmm, okay then, his callsign/nickname, painted on the side of his car was Dark One. Back to the asking of questions I say! :)
