Well one of them is **The Dirty Dozen**. Can’t come up with the other one, though. ---

I didn’t think my entry was so diffifult! I apologize. “The Dirty Dozen” is correct. The other movie I was thinking of ended with a violent confrontation on a freight train, between a hobo (Marvin) and a railroad bull (Borgnine) in the Depression era. ---

The other movie I was thinking of ended with a violent confrontation on a freight train, between a hobo (Marvin) and a railroad bull (Borgnine) in the Depression era. I know this one! **Emperor of the North Pole**. I remember watching this on TV as a kid. There are parts of the movie etched in my brain. Borgnine is such a sadistic SOB. When he used the lead weight and rope on Lee Marvin and Keith Carradine, I just cringe. The shaving scene, the brutal fight at the end. Wow! I don’t believe it’s out on DVD. Anyhow, since no one got both movies, I’d say it’s Astorian turn again. ---

I’d never heard of that one. I my first guess was _The Wild Bunch_ (that one’s etched in my brain from my childhood… damn you, Sam Peckinpah!), but only Borgnine was in that. ---

Actually, though Wiest appeared in several Woody Allen movies, the only time they both appeared together on screen was in **Hannah and Her Sisters**. (Allen was narrator of **Radio Days** , but didn’t appear.) And though Wiest was in **The Purple Rose of Cairo, September,** and **Bullets Over Broadway** with Woody as director, he didn’t appear in any of those. ---

I assumed “appear” includes narration, rather than a literal “saw the face of.” ---

> [@Bricker](#): > > I assumed “appear” includes narration, rather than a literal “saw the face of.” Well, I think narration is being fairly liberal as a definition as “appearence” in a film. But I can let it slide. It probably won’t factor in very many questions (I hope). I say it’s still Bicker’s turn with **Rob Lowe** and **Ally Sheedy**. ---

I would have no heartburn using _Toy Story_ as a partial answer to “Tom Hanks and Tim Allen,” nothwithstanding the fact that neither actor’s likeness appears in the film.
