Movie Trivia


Recommended Posts

Just thought I'd start a new game in here to add a little something different from the Movie Quotes thread. Random movie trivia. Throw out a question, whoever gets the answer throws out the next question. Aaaand I'll start:

 

Who is the only actor to have been killed by an Alien, a Predator and a Terminator?

Lance H was killed by a Predator in AvP, was killed in The Terminator and got just about as killed as an android can in Aliens. As I recall though the crash in Alien 3 finally did him in...

 

Anyway, just remembered Bill Paxton was killed in Predator 2, Aliens and The Terminator.

 

 

What was Pirarates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl the only Walt Disney release not to have?

Actually SiBob got the answer, I checked imdb on your guess Jax, looks like Swing Kids and The Hot Chick beat them to PG-13's.

 

I'm fairly sure the answer to Jax's is Walt Disney.

 

Tough enough one possibly:

Which actor has featured in the Matrix Revolutions, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King, and will be seen in Star Wars Episode III, to set what may be a record of featuring in third installments of big film franchises?

Bruce Spence. Damn, that's one creepy guy, ain't he?

 

What are the only two James Bond movies to not feature the distinctive gun barrel opening sequence?

Yep, he's 6'7" apparently, in other Spence trivia he was the voice of one of the sharks in Finding Nemo...

 

Umm, James Bond, I'll guess Die Another Day but only cos of the way they blended the opening sequence with the story. The other one...maybe Dr No, if they didn't think to use it till later ones, or maybe Never Say Never Again, that was the one with different producers I think, maybe couldn't use it cos of copyright?

Nope, Dr. No had it. And so did Die Another Day, though they added a cg bullet flying towards the camera. Your other guess was correct - Never Say Never Again was made by a different company and could not use the gun barrel opening. The other one was the James Bond spoof Casino Royale.

I like the idea of this thread, shame it's just me, Jax and SiBob so...

 

...a really easy one to see if anyone else wants to get in on this:

 

Which series of futuristic movies are set entirely in the past?

 

Jax, Bob, don't shout it out presuming you'll know it, and if you want then post up any new questions.

Pretty sure that the first feature-length film in color was The Gulf Between in 1917. As for the first one only partially in color...I dunno, I'd wanna say Wizard of Oz, but I'm not sure of that.

 

What was the first feature-length film to feature stereo sound?

well death usually comes last in the list of acomplishments...but there is always the first time for everything.

 

The last released movie of Welles was Someone to love, released a year and a half after his death. But that isn't so odd... it takes about a year to finalize a flicker anyways. I mean, C Farely had a movie released after his death, and so did the crow, who died during the movie with a live round 'oopsie' they finished the movie with computer generated imaging of Brandon Lee.

in 1940, the first film with stereo sound released was Fantasia...which I sortaq suspected, only b/c I didnt like it is why I knew it.

 

I decided to do a search, and found these others that might also be the answer...

 

1953 - The Robe had 4-track stereo sound; was the first CinemaScope film and led the release of 33 stereo films in 1953, but stereo failed to transform motion picture soundtracks and would not reappear until 1975 with Dolby optical stereo sound. The Robe used directional sound, footsteps of Roman Legions marching from right to left, thunder and wind and rain of the crucifixion scene. The first time off-screen voices are actually heard off-screen, when voices warn Marcellus of his ship departure to Judea. Only Fox and Todd-AO would record dialogue with directional sound. All other studios provided some music in stereo for magnetic soundtracks, but recorded voices and sound effects in mono.

 

The Robe was the second movie made in CinemaScope, but the first to be released.

 

The first film to be encoded with a Dolby stereo optical soundtrack was Lisztomania (1975)

 

The first 35mm Dolby stereo optical film with encoded surround effects was A Star Is Born (1976).

 

The first film to use the 70mm Dolby Stereo surround sound system was Apocalypse Now (1979)

 

 

dunno if that answered yer question sibob.

Transformers was his last performance. Welles died during production in 1985. He did Someone to Love first even though it was released later.
