No. It was not a buddy comedy of any buddies, either.

No. Not even a little bit. Basil Rathbone made a career as an actor and a fencer who acted... but for one movie, he was unable to keep up with the blazing-fast blade-work of the novice he was facing off against...so for part of their fight sequence, Basil Rathbone had a stunt double performing the dueling scenes for him. Granted, Rathbone was 63 at the time, but he was still quite surprised how the other actor was such a natural-and so fast. It was especially shocking considering the late actor's extensive reputation always was-and is- for his many COMEDIC talents, (and storytelling skills) and it's hard to picture him doing action-hero stuff with no double- yet, that's what happened. Among the actors in this comedic musical: John Carradine Alan Napier Glynis Johns Angela Lansbury Basil Rathbone Hermine's Midgets (ensemble) "I'm proud to recall that at no time at all and with no other recourses but my own resources, with firm application and determination... I made a fool of myself!" "After the dust had cleared, half the cast had a beard. And I'm the one, as you can see, for whom the bell tolls merrily." "Rules of Chivalry be hanged! Ravenhurst, take that nincompoop, and knight that nincompoop by noon tomorrow!" " Why be gloomy, cut off thy nose to spite thy face? Listen to me. A nose is hard to replace." "After months of pleading for just this kind of action, what makes you think that anybody - anybody could make me reveal the identity of my confederate?" "Because they'd put you on the rack, crack your every bone, scald you with hot oil, and remove the nails off your fingers with flaming hot pincers." "I'd... like to withdraw the question." "You'll never outfox The Fox!" "When do we start?" "Tonight." "Good. I’d like to get in, get on with it, get it over with, and get out. Get it?" "Got it." "Good." "First, plan one. Are you sure you can dispose of my lords Brockhurst, Finsdale, and Pertry? "Are they married?" "Yes…" "Order flowers for the widows. Get it?" "Got it." "Good."

Totally not, nor a Disney flick. I remember that one, also. However, that was a children's movie. This one was a family movie. (And really, has universal appeal and should be re-watched.)

That's the one.

Which means it's RG's turn.

You left out the action scenes. XD At some point, you almost-certainly have seen this movie. (If not, you should have, and should now.) I left out the actor in the title role, but I've described him. (BTW, Mrs Wolf figured this one out already.)

Basil Rathbone also rather famously played villains when someone needed to do a fencing scene in a movie, and made the hero look good after a crash-course in movie fencing. And, old-school fans of Sherlock Holmes remember him as the detective, opposite a somewhat bumbling Watson. Playing fairly is a LOT more fun than cheating, of course.

You should have gone with your temptation. Actually, in the UK, they changed the name of the more recent movie for the release. ("Marvel's Avengers Assemble" "Marvel Avengers Assemble" "Avengers Assemble") since "Avengers" there implies the Steed/Peel team.

This one is tricky. This movie is about stopping an attempt by aliens to conquer the Earth by weaponizing the weather. They are opposed by agents sent by the UK and US.

It's great that she loves them, but does she consider them "chick flicks"? Mrs Wolf loves car chase movies, but never considers them "chick flicks".... "Some days, you just can't get rid of a bomb." (That's the next quote, BTW.)

I have yet to meet anyone who would consider ANY "CONAN" movie to be a chick-flick. (Conan the Barbarian, Conan the Destroyer, Conan the Comedian...)

George, you didn't use the quote about di lamentation of di wimmen. That might have made it easier. :)

I had no idea who was in the cast of "THE MAN WITH ONE RED SHOE."

If you end up making them MORE difficult, I'll just be stuck spectating the thread...

I'm glad someone else had heard of it. He could have dropped the name and I still wouldn't have gotten close.

Waiting for the next clue....

If it's a Western, I'll take a swing with "F Troop."

*sigh* It's a well-known show, if not a new show. Some people could have gotten it from one or another of those quotes by themselves. "And now back to Charlie Chan!" "What does it do?" "It does all of it." "I'm The Chef of the Future." "Pleased to meet you, o Chef of the Future." "I'm The Chef of the Future!!" "Pleased to meet you again, o Chef of the Future!" "Can it core a apple?" "Mind if I smoke?" "I don't care if you burn." (That was from the scene with the trick handcuffs that don't open with a key.) " I'll go fix my lipstick. I won't be gone long, 'Killer'. I call you 'Killer' 'cause you slay me. "And I'm calling Bellevue 'cause you're nuts!" "Hello, Bunny? This is ol' Buttercup." 328 Chauncey Street. "One of these days....Bang! Zoom!"

I don't think there's another person on this board who saw that movie. I skip a movie I quite like for the same reason- obscurity no matter how good the movie was.

"And now back to Charlie Chan!" "What does it do?" "It does all of it." "I'm The Chef of the Future." "Pleased to meet you, o Chef of the Future." "I'm The Chef of the Future!!"

You phrased it as a question? That's it. Check YouTube to find the single frame where Waldo's corpse is piled with the other dead. I'm annoyed he had the nerve to do that in the theatrical release but not the DVD. (I'm sure sales of the DVD would have gone up.) They also have the trailer which has a frame of Gibson hanging out with the costumed cast.

Shame, shame, George! *wags finger at George* Ok, now that that's over with, go ahead.
