  1. No. You're right about Belushi, but this movie came after "1941." (The other star of the movie in question also had a small role in "1941.") George
  2. A reasonable guess, but this movie was not a comedy (although it featured a number of laugh lines). George
  3. Taglines for this movie described it as "A Comic-Nightmare", nightmare being an appropriate word to describe this film's shoot. This was a troubled production because the two lead actors argued with the director, the director argued with the producers and everybody tried to rewrite the screenplay. Though the script is credited to Larry Gelbart, much of it was re-written, and Gelbart publicly aired his disapproval. At one point, one of the stars, who would soon die from a drug overdose within four months of the film debuting, accused writer Larry Gelbart of drinking too much. The star's drug use also caused problems for the production of the film. The 8th June 1981 edition of show-business trade paper 'Daily Variety' reported that salaries of the movie's two lead stars on this picture would be US $1.35 million and US $1 million respectively, with both actors receiving points (percentages) from the picture's profits. This film starred two comic actors who had worked together frequently. One's usual on-screen persona was over-the-top looney, while the other's was more sedate; and they were originally cast in the roles befitting those personae. Before the filming started, however, the stars decided to switch roles, so the usually manic actor played the quiet homebody. According to one of the stars, most of the production crew was on cocaine, an addiction the other star had been recently freed from. He fell back into using and died of an overdose the following year. Comedy stars Gene Wilder and Steve Martin were considered for the two lead male roles by producers Richard D. Zanuck and David Brown but in the end the parts were recast. George
  4. Make that two months. "You know what it is about you that fascinates them, don't you? It's the hair on your chest. Japanese men all have beautiful bare skin." "Japanese proverb say, "Bird never make nest in bare tree."" "The firing power inside my crater is enough to annihilate a small army. You can watch it all on TV. It's the last program you're likely to see." "Well, if I'm gonna be forced to watch television, may I smoke?" "Yes. Give him his cigarettes. It won't be the nicotine that kills you." "Permit me to introduce myself. I am Tanaka. Please call me Tiger." "If you're Tanaka, then how do you feel about me?" "I... love you." "Well, I'm glad we got that out of the way." George
  5. Name the actor Sam Harmon Jason Steel Tom Elder Dee Bishop Vernon Demarest George
  6. After two months, I think I can jump in. Well I'm not braggin' babe so don't put me down But I've got the fastest set of wheels in town When something comes up to me he don't even try Cause if I had a set of wings man I know she could fly George
  7. This one should be easy, but I'd like to get this started again. Tony Curtis Jack Lemmon Marilyn Monroe Joe E. Brown George
  8. No. If they make a Sharia Muslim version, let me know. George
  9. OK "Guardians of the Galaxy II" For an action flick, it dealt a LOT with interpersonal relationships. FREE POST George
  10. So, I see this list of new CW shows, and "Valor" comes right after Supergirl. Naturally, I think to myself, "Cool. They've spun off Mon-el in his own show." Well, unless he's an Army helicopter pilot, this show isn't about him. I also see that "Agents of SHIELD" is being replaced by "INHUMANS." I've heard that they've filmed an episode of "Black Lightning," but I don't see it on the fall schedule. Maybe they'll use it as a replacement, if one of the new shows falters. George
  11. Iron Man III Ben Kingsley Without a Clue George
  12. Fair guess, but this movie is much more recent. It's probably out of theaters, now (at least, in the States). You have the correct (general) genre. George
  13. Exit to Eden Hector Elizondo Pretty Woman George
  14. Anybody? If I give more clues, we'll be in Movie mash-up territory. George
  15. At least I don't feel bad for not getting it. Never (prior to this) heard of the TV show OR the movie. George
  16. If it's got voice actors but no words (and, therefore, no need for translation), the actors must be making other sounds. I would guess, animal sounds. (If they were aliens, speaking gibberish, I would still technically call that words.) Can't think of such a show, though. George
  17. Raf? WW? Human??? ANYBODY???? George

  19. This is a recent movie. WW might not have even seen it, yet. George
  20. Raf is up, but after a month and a half, I suppose anyone can jump in... George
  21. Kurt Russell Tombstone Dana Delaney George
  22. I suppose I should ask you to be more specific, but I'll give it to you. Elizabeth I. George
