  1. The other movies? Well, this was the last, IIRC. The first was "the Wolf Man." LC Jr played Larry Talbot. Larry was attacked by a wolf that was later killed. That was a werewolf, and Larry was infected. Bela Lugosi played "Bela", a gypsy traveling through the area- who turned into a werewolf and attacked Larry. A sort-of sequel to that movie was "Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man." LC Jr as Larry Talbot, and Bela Lugosi as Frankenstein's Monster. Between the two movies was "The Ghost of Frankenstein." LC Jr as The Monster, BL as Ygor. There was a sort-of round robin of the actors in a number of roles across a decade or so.
  2. "The same thing happened to me!" The Twilight Zone movie mentioned some troops shooting an officer dead "accidentally" in a "friendly fire" incident. The specifics are identical to the note at the end of "Stripes", where a character with the same name was said to have been killed by his soldiers in a "friendly fire" incident. (BTW, according to "Murphy's Laws of Combat", "Friendly fire- isn't." In "Animal House", John Belushi/Bluto came across a guy playing a guitar badly. He snatched the guitar, smashed it against the wall, then handed back the stick. "Sorry." In an episode of ST TNG, (Q pid), Geordi was trying to play a mandolin- and failing. Worf walked over to him and signaled him to pass over the mandolin. Worf smashed it against a tree, then handed back the stick. "Sorry." In "Brotherhood of the Wolf", very early in the movie, they're investigating a murder. It's believed to have been a wolf attack that killed someone. When the corpse is found, it's a young woman wearing a red cape. I've forgotten so many of these.
  3. In case anyone is confused, I'd like to clarify. oldiesman confirmed there was a lawsuit that was filed. He did not confirm the lawsuit had merit or that it was factually correct. But, as a point of history, he confirmed that people were saying that at the time.
  4. CORRECT! Glenn Strange returned to play Frankenstein's Monster (again.) BL and LC reprised their most famous roles in this movie. Nice little Vincent Price cameo, too.
  5. BTW, every word I posted was correct, and I phrased myself carefully in both posts.
  6. Thanks. I don't think I've ever heard of this band before.
  7. `For the benefit of those of us who don't want to load a YouTube video just to get the title of a song, can someone actually post the answer?
  8. In case you're wondering, I'm not aware of any animated or voice-work that unites the actors. This is solely about films where the cameras were pointed at both actors in the usual fashion.
  9. I just checked. I can't find an "Abbott and Costello" film where Boris Karloff played Frankenstein's Monster. They did at least 2 movies with Boris Karloff, but in neither did BK play his most famous role. Of course, BK has nothing to do with the question that's currently up.
  10. BZZT!!!! "Dracula Vs the Wolfman" was a 2024 movie. Both actors were long dead by then. "The Wolf Man Vs Dracula" was never filmed, but there were plans to cast both of them- but nothing definite. IIRC, there's at least 4 movies that fit the requirements of the question.
  11. You should all at least know OF actor BELA LUGOSI, who was in many films. He was typecast- but played more than one role. You should all at least know OF actor LON CHANEY JR, who was in many films. He was typecast- but played more than one role. I'll divide this into an "EASY" a "MEDIUM", and a "HARD" answer. EASY- Name at least ONE movie where both actors appeared. MEDIUM- Name at least ONE movie where both actors appeared- and name their ROLES in that movie (Who did they play?_ HARD- Name at least THREE movies where both actors appeared, and for bragging rights, who they played in them. (For the curious, I can name two for sure off the top of my head, as well as who they played in each, and I think I could manage a third.)
  12. Before my time. I would not have imagined it would have gone that way, based on the impressions I have of the different presidents. Then again, you miss a lot when you're looking only through a lens of history rather than living through it, and I never made a particular study of this, so my impressions are bound to be brief and inaccurate in a lot of ways.
  13. The lines seem vaguely familiar, but I'm not hearing anything yet.
  14. The second line was very recognizable if you saw Superman II. The Kryptonian bad guys were about to betray/kill Lex Luthor, when Superman arrived. Lex: "Superman, thank God....I mean, GET HIM!" The first quote was from Young Frankenstein, where GH played the blind hermit. The monster ran off. GH improv'ed this line as the monster ran off. The crew had to struggle with laughing and ruining the take. The third quote was "Popeye" Doyle's last line in The French Connection.
  15. Let's see how famous these lines are. "Wait! Where are you going? I was gonna make espresso!" "Thank God!... I mean, GET HIM!!" "That son of a bitch is here. I saw him. I'm gonna get him."
  16. HAS to be "Dennis the Menace" in the show of the same name.
  17. For the curious, I inserted the explanations in this reply.
  18. Yes. That's everybody who ever played The Shadow, whether on the radio like Orson Welles or in the movies like Alec Baldwin.
  19. Victor Jory Kane Richmond Rod La Rocque Alec Baldwin Frank Readick Jr. Orson Welles James La Curto Bill Johnstone Bret Morrison John Archer Steven Courtleigh
  20. Among the actors in this movie....Steven Williams (Captain Fuller from 21 Jump Street), Steve Lawrence, Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman), Henry Gibson. Charles Napier (space hippie from ST TOS), Twiggy. This film needed to get certification from the FAA to confirm that one of their props was NOT airworthy. They had to confirm it wouldn't get picked up by the wind, and instead would drop like a stone. In one scene, the actors did their own stunt, and fell down a flight of stairs. It looks real because it is real. However, one actor, I'm sure, regretted it afterwards. He was injured and had to use a back brace for the rest of the filming. The director had a part for his mother in the film. Her moment onscreen was cut, so she never appeared in the film that was released. If you read the closing credits, she's actually listed as "woman on the cutting-room floor." There's a running gag about broken watches in the film. 3 different watches are said to have been broken in the dialogue. "They broke my watch." (Repeated line.) This movie became a box office hit because it was a hit overseas when it was released. It wasn't one in the US when it was released because many theaters in the South refused to air the movie. Among the extras for the next-to-last scene were 15 horses, and 3 Sherman tanks. Most people wouldn't remember them despite being on camera. If you still can't figure this one out, I'll 'See You Next Wednesday.' Roger Ebert's review of this movie contains the following sentences: "One crash in particular, a pileup involving maybe a dozen police cars, has to be seen to be believed: I've never seen stunt coordination like this before. What's a little startling about this movie is that all of this works." "There's even room, in the midst of the carnage and mayhem, for a surprising amount of grace, humor, and whimsy." Gene Siskel's review of this movie contains the following: "...displays more of the diversity of our metropolitan area than any other film shot here." "...Landis must be included in the ranks of important American directors. This movie was a gargantuan undertaking, and it would have been some achievement simply getting it finished." One of the most important characters in this film was never named. If you watch the film and read the credits, you might notice that they neglected to name more than one of the actors in the cast. You might not notice because you know who the actors were without waiting for the credits.
  21. The second one MIGHT be something Tony Manero said. The first one MIGHT be from a movie with a name like "Midnight Cowboy" or "Electric Cowboy" or something like that. The third quote was a conversation between Jules and Vincent in "Pulp Fiction." IIRC, Jules reacted to this comment, and Vincent had traveled to Europe- Amsterdam, Paris, etc. So, that should make the the actor JOHN TRAVOLTA.
