Ok, this is a continuation of the movie chain link game started by **RaCha’ar** (we do love you so).
Here is a link to the original thread: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=104437&perpage=50&pagenumber=1](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=104437&perpage=50&pagenumber=1)
Here are the rules:
First person names a movie. Second person names an actor/actress in that movie. Third person names a movie starring second person’s actor/actress.
The round ends when any of the following conditions are met:
1. A repeat occurs. For example, if previously in the thread, _Ferris Bueller’s Day Off_ was used, and now Matthew Broderick is the actor, you cannot say _Ferris Bueller’s Day Off_, even if it’s your most favoritest movie of all time pretty pretty please with a cherry on top. Thems the breaks.
2. A movie/person sits open waiting for a new link for more than an hour. This time limit rule does not apply between the hours of 1am and 7am EST, since people aren’t around so much then. For instance, right now it wouldn’t apply. Hrm…
I think that’s it.
Oh, here’s an example of how this works:
_Ferris Bueller_ leads to **Matthew Broderick** leads to _Reese Witherspoon_ (isn’t she beautiful? Vavoom! 😉 ) leads to, etc.
Ok, here’s one to start us off:
_The Year of Living Dangerously_

_The Year of Living Dangerously_
Mel Gibson
(Ten, am I wrong, or don’t you have to have a movie link between Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon?)

No, you’re not wrong. Um… There was supposed to be an Election in there somewhere, but in my rush to get to Reese, well, let’s just say that I blew my wad, there. 🙂
Oh dear. I just said blew my wad. Oh! I’ve done it again. Oh dear…
Ok, so anyway,
Mel was also in _Road Warrior_.
I think that’s kind of a tough one. Does anybody actually know the names of the other people in Road Warrior? Oh well, such is life.

Actually I \* do \* know another actor from “Road Warrior” ; \*\* Bruce Spence \*\*
Only because he’s the spitting image of my neighbour. 🙂
He was also in: “Dark City” and “Rikky and Pete”. And I’m sure in many more movies I’ve never heard of. 😉
So… Bruce Spence.
