Trivia questions which, amazingly, have two answers

In 1974, Nixon and Ford were both President … and, during Nixon’s most incontinent phase, Alexander Haig was “essentially seen as the acting president.” :stuck_out_tongue:

Which actor — who famously played Zorro — received a Golden Globe nomination, for Most Promising Newcomer, before he was top-billed on screen as Dracula in 1979?

I think I’ve answered this one for you before, years ago: Quatermass and the Pit, and 2001.

George Hamilton and Frank Langella. Interesting.

I thought I asked this one, but I can’t find it on a search through the thread.

“1984 movie in which the heroine, played by Kate Capshaw, watches the villain reach into a victim’s chest with his bare hand and tear out his heart. The victim doesn’t die immediately.”

1940s movie by a Poverty Row studio starring one of Universal’s horror stars (obviously slumming) as a scientist trying to find a cure for polio who sneaks through the night looking like a gorilla so that he can kill people for their spinal fluid, which he needs for his research.
Actually, I’m kind of surprised that that description even matches one movie, let alone two.

There’s a number of times different studios made very similar movies at the same time. Wikipedia has a longish list of them somewhere. Example:

What late 1990’s movie was a biopic about Steve Prefontaine?

You did. #164. I sentence you to Kali Ma.

Yep, I got carried away. Hans Island is not official yet!

That could be rephrased better, of course. Point being, there are two Brian Mays.

Correct as to both years and the men involved.

What successful medical drama set in a Chicago hospital premiered the third week of Sept. 1994?

“ER” (NBC) and “Chicago Hope” (CBS)

I thought of a trivia question that has only one answer, but it was inspired by this thread. I’ll explain after someone gets the answer.
Who comes next in the following sequence:

  1. John Vernon
  2. Bradford Dillman
  3. John Mitchum
  4. Albert Popwell
  5. ?

It’s got something to do with the Dirty Harry films. Were all of these actors the boss of Eastwood’s character? Were they the partner of his character?

What American television show with George Clooney was set in an emergency room?

It does have to do with the Dirty Harry films, but they were not Eastwood’s bosses or partners.

ER. The answer is in the question :wink:

Not quite. The answer is E/R and ER. The titles of the shows were spelled differently.

Also E/R.
