You’re right – Chow Yun-Fat was \*\*not \*\* in _Hero_.

So the last legal play was _ **The Bulletproof Monk** _.

I’ll then play:

**Mako**

**Moulin Rouge** (the 1952 one, which has absolutely nothing in common with Baz Luhrman’s film of the same name – the latter, of course, distinguished by its “!”).

Simulpost.

**Christopher Lee**

Search revealed four other christophers, but I don’t think Lee has been played yet.

I want to nominate the simulposts

William Shatner --\> Judgement at Nuremberg

AND

William Shatner --\> Dodgeball

as the most extreme divergent paths. Can anyone come up with something more extreme?

I could have used **Kingdom of the spiders** instead.

How about **The Lady is Willing** for Marlene.

Orson Welles might just nose out Shatner by appearing in both:

_Citizen Kane_

and

_The Muppet Movie_ or _Transformers: The Movie_ (take your pick).

Yeah, but what’s Orson Welles done _lately_?

_Transformers_ came out posthumously.

Only thing Welles can pull off now is perhaps an especially macabre version of _Weekend at Bernie’s Part V_.
