- In Invaders from Mars, when the mastermind in the glass globe (who looked like an octopus) looked to the side, it meant he/she/it sensed danger or opposition there.
Here’s mine…as I’m a child of the later movie years, mainly this is going to be more recent stuff:
-
Who plays the druggie in the police waiting area in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off?
-
In Pulp Fiction, where is Butch’s gold watch located? (In his apartment, yes, but exactly where?)
-
What is the difference between the 1960 Psycho and the 1998 Psycho (specifically, the scene in which Norman watches Marion undress)?
-
What is the first film for which Jack Nicholson won an Oscar?
-
Really hard: In Gladiator, what are the name of Maximus’s two (stolen) horses?
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Oh! I just remembered this one–Charlie Sheen.
-
- On the little kangaroo statue, which is better than its previous spot, up his father’s ass.
-
- Argento was one. I can’t remember the other, but I hear tell they are the latin names for Silver and Trigger.
-
Bette Davis never turned down the role of Scarlett O’Hara. She wanted it (and made the movie “Jezebel” to show she could play a southern belle), but it was never offered to her. AFAIK, Vivian Leigh was the only actress who was offered the part, though many were considered (some just as publicity).
-
An elevator.
New:
- What is considered to be the most commonly used line of dialog in American movies, appearing in (by one estimate) 80% of all films made?
- What person won the most Oscars (of all types)?
- Name the only two “story” films (i.e., with plotlines) filmed in Cinerama.
- In the opening credits of “Frankenstein” (1932), where was Boris Karloff listed?
- This is a killer – in Charlie Chaplin’s “Modern Times,” what was the name of the character played by Paulette Goddard? And it’s not “the Gamine,” as it was credited.
This year, Rick Baker won ANOTHER Oscar for make-up effects. Did they say it was his sixteenth? Number twelve? GOD, it’s up there. Homeboy must be using them to prop up the bad leg on the coffee table at this point.
He first won for “An American Werewolf In London”, the film that proved that you can start out hawking Dr.Pepper and wind up bedding Jenny Agutter >Drool<.
Now, as to Rosebud. This is pretty much THE most overworked Freshman Film Studies paper. The name Rosebud isn’t named FOR anything. The word is whispered by Kane as he dies in the opening sequence. It’s the name painted on the Flxible Flyer sled that as a boy, Kane used to sled upon. Many connective threads, thousands of bad term papers. The sled itself isn’t named FOR anyone, it’s just the name painted onto the sled.
More than one was made for the filming. ( I think three?? ) Steven Spielberg owns one of the originals, apparently it hangs in his office at Amblin’ Entertainment.
I must say, Marion Davies’ clit is the single most brilliant answer to that question I’ve ever heard in my life.

“Let’s get out of here.”
YEP. (I used this my self on ANSWER-POINT.) I’d have to plow through a bunch of my “movie” trivia books to find the quote. But—from what I remember—THAT was what Hearst was so pissed-off about.
Quantum Leap. Sam made that Rocky reference to a guy like it was a joke, and the guy turned out to be a young Sylvester Stallone.
32. In the animated feature Lady and the Tramp (about 1958, I think), how does Tramp redeem himself to Jim Dear and Darling?
He kills a rat that was in their child’s room.
**35. What is the difference between the 1960 Psycho and the 1998 Psycho (specifically, the scene in which Norman watches Marion undress)? **
Besides being in color? 
Norman’s masturbating.
-
Walt Disney won the most Oscars (for animated shorts) I think it was 29.
-
Name the American and the Hong Kong remakes of “La Femme Nikita”.
-
What Chinese folk hero has appeared as a character in over 100 movies? Hint: He’s been played by Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Donnie Yen.
-
In “Rumble in the Bronx” what does Jackie Chan do in the one-way mirror, not realizing that Anita Mui is watching him from the other side?
-
Name three movies in which the main character is killed at the beginning, but doesn’t know he/she is dead until the end. (Be sure to post a spoiler warning if answering this one.
-
What character has appeared in the most English language movies?
-
What actor has been the top box-office draw world-wide the most times?
-
Mel Gibson’s first line in “Chicken Run” is the same as his last line in what movie?
-
Name the seven men who have play James Bond.
-
I believe the American remake is Point of No Return, but I’m not sure.
-
Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, David Niven, and Woody Allen.
Allen played Jimmy Bond, nephew of the James Bond, but he did play a James Bond, which I’m guessing is what you meant.
- Six out of seven. Woody Allen doesn’t count. The seventh was in a 50’s tv adaptation of Casino Royale. It was broadcast live and no recording exists of it. Can’t remember the actor’s name myself.
Here’s the straight dope on the television production of Casino Royale.
It starred Barry Nelson as “Jimmy Bond”, Linda Christian as the Bond Girl, and Peter Lorre as the villian. It was broadcast live on October 21st, 1954. The running time was 50 minutes.

Apparently there is a recording available. Thanks for the heads-up and the link. Ordered the video about a minute ago.
from http://us.imdb.com/Trivia?0033467 but I’ve heard this other places, too
Point Of No Return and Black Cat were remakes of Nikita.
La Femme Nikita is a piss poor TV show.
- **Paging Dr Benway[/]. Name the film and who, exactly *is[/] Dr. Benway?
I believe the Chicken Run line was “Thank you ladies and gentlemen, you’ve been a wonderful audience”, but I don’t know what the other film would have been.
