“The Movie Chain Game” is really simple. You start with one movie, and then come up with a second movie that has some connection to the first. Actors, directors, locations, just some connection. The next person has to figure out the connection, then add another movie. (It doesn’t have to have the same connection. If it did, the game would be really boring.) Theatrical releases only please. Made for T.V. movies and straight-to-video only if you’re really desperate.

Example:  
_Running Scared_  
and  
_Escape from New York_  
link: a character named “Snake”  
_McHale’s Navy_  
link:Ernest Borgnine  
_Rocky Horror Picture Show_  
link:Tim Curry  
Here’s the first two. Let’s start with an easy one…  
_The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert_  
and  
_Mad Max_  
You guess the link, then add a movie that links to the last one. (_Mad Max_)

_Mad Max_  
and  
_It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World_

Yeah. Difficult. I did this only so some can make a different link to something in IAMMMMW.

SPOOFE, you forgot to list the link. Bad SPOOFE. (The link of course is, they are both set in Australia.

And since your link is so cheesey, you get the worst of all “Movie Link: The Game” punishments… The Mouse! (Whoever has The Mouse at the end of the game has to buy the drinks. Can you guess where I started playing this game?) The only way to get rid of The Mouse is to catch someone with an even cheesier link, and pass it off.

link:“Mad” in the title.
