Sorry, T-Bone, that wasn't the answer this round. That's not this movie.
-
NO, THE SCENE IS NOT FROM "THE DEVIL'S BROTHER." I know that movie because you just mentioned it. This is NOT the movie I posted a still from.
-
I know the title, but not the artist.
-
Ok, next movie.
-
I remember a criticism of "Star Wars Episode 2- Attack of the Clones." The critic complained of the rule "show, don't tell" for movies. We were told Anakin was reckless. When we saw him supposedly flying recklessly in pursuit of an assassin, we didn't see him with REAL disregard for traffic. A contrast was drawn between that scene and "Popeye" Doyle in the scene you showed. So, once again, I got one of a famous scene from a movie I have yet to see. (Is it really good? Should I see it?)
-
I'm thinking of 2 movies with cars shooting through traffic. I'll try one, then the other, if nobody beats me to it. I'll switch out my first answer and go with "THE FRENCH CONNECTION."
-
I read that first piece of trivia somewhere, sometime. Is this "That 70s Show?"
-
Um, "Kingsman- the Secret Service"?
-
This reminds me of the Brian Setzer Orchestra's "Rumble in Brighton". I don't think it's the answer, but that's what it reminds me of.
-
That's it.

I recognized "Our House" from the chorus there, but never knew it was CSN. I'm not bad at some 70s tunes, but I'm best with 80s tunes. From the 90s, there's a number I can recognize, but after 2000, very little. With 60s tunes, I may know a few. It's mostly in what got classic rock airplay in the decades following.

"If you can't do it with one bullet, don't do it at all." "What is it?" "The sound of treachery." "What are you?" "I'm complicated." "We'll be at this all day." "You're sweet... and you're young. Neither are traits that I hold in high regard." "You scratched me!" "Better me than him!" "You have all the time in the world." "I've lived long enough to see the future become history, Professor. Empires crumble. There are no exceptions." "Eyes open, Boy. I can't protect you all the time." "Trouble? I call it 'sport.'" "Where is your sense of patriotism?" "God save the Queen." "God save her." "That's about as patriotic as it gets around here." "Draw your pistol." " I walk a different path." "Let's not make a saint out of a sinner. Next time he may not be so helpful." "And they'll provide an antidote... well, that's if I'm a good boy." "And are you a good boy?" "I guess you'll find out, won't you?" "A world war." "And this notion makes you sweat?" "Heavens, man. Doesn't it you?" "This is Africa, dear boy. Sweating is what we do." "Would you like to learn to shoot?" "I can already." "I saw. Very American. Fire enough bullets and hope to hit the target.”

BTW, those quotes are neither random nor nondescript. I could have gotten the movie from most of them if they were the only quote.
-
We either need another image from the same movie, or a clue, or something.
-
No. This movie mentioned the UK, but does not take place there- at least, not exclusively and is remembered more for other locations than the UK. I'm sure you saw this movie, even though the reviews were weak, AFAIK. I thought it was fun enough.

I can see how you'd get that from these specific quotes, but no.

-The production company for this US film was a HONG KONG company- Golden Harvest. That explains some of the cast but causes another wrinkle in the casting at the same time. -One role was written specifically with DON RICKLES in mind, but he refused the role, and we got a better movie for it once it was recast (with the same name.) -George Furth and John Fiedler both appear in this movie. (I used to confuse the 2 actors because of this.) -Peter Fonda appears in it as well. And Valerie Perrine. And Bianca Jagger. -Steve McQueen was cast, but died before they prepared to begin filming, so that part was re-cast and the mood of the movie was changed radically. -In one scene, a Cantonese-speaking character is interviewed by a Japanese television presenter. Neither the presenter nor the audience understand what he's saying, but the other Cantonese-speaker in the movie and he chat several times, in Cantonese. -One actor spoke about having done the movie, later. "I did that film for all the wrong reasons. I never liked it. I did it to help out a friend of mine, Hal Needham. And I also felt it was immoral to turn down that kind of money. I suppose I sold out so I couldn't really object to what people wrote about me." -This was the first movie the late Rick Aviles appeared in (you may remember him as Willie Lopez in "Ghost.") -Nobody remembers the name of the character Pamela Glover-she ends up with a nickname early on, and that "becomes" her name for the rest of the movie. -Continuity error: the "Hawaiian Tropic" car changes from a Laguna to a Monte Carlo after a quick paint job. -Continuity error: Jamie Black and Fenderbaum know Mc Clure and Prinzim early on. However, in the middle of the movie, Mc Clure and Prinzim completely fail to recognize them.

Michael Keaton BeetleJuice Winona Ryder

In the style of old-school acrobats or bodybuilders? That suggests one role above all others, the guy with the spit-curl. Ok, that narrows it down a LOT. I was all set to jump on the Routh one, but the first clue shouts this was a Christopher Reeve movie. That set of movies ended with "Superman 4-the Quest for Peace." (The first Superman movie I DIDN'T see in the theater, IIRC.) Hey, Jon Cryer was in that movie as Lex Luthor's nephew or something. Small world to see Cryer play LL decades later, no?

A) I was buying a little time for everyone else. B) I mentioned the music, hoping to spark someone's memory. C) After that, I was just messing around and having some fun. After all, if it actually HAD been a SW movie, it would have had to include both of those guys. That MIGHT sound like some scenes in "Solo." (I actually haven't seen that one, either. Amazing how many movies are identifiable even if we've only seen commercials or previews, isn't it?)
-
As for why I didn't mention the GL movie by name, I was hoping someone new would know the answer and jump in. Sometimes, one of us knows the answer and alludes to it without saying it, so someone else has a chance. (Very rarely, I do that and realize I wasn't even close to the right answer....) So, I was hoping you'd name the movie. Since you didn't, I did, then handed my turn over to you so it was your turn fair and square.

This HAD TO be from Star Wars, because I remember the musical score playing at this moment. But which one? We have a black and a white guy, I'm going with "SOLO."
