The Lost Boys In the Band of Brothers

That's it. I figured that if you got Lost Boys and Band of Brothers, that it might trigger an old memory of Boys in the Band.

You're up.

George

[Raf]

Mostly a guess.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Mostly a guess.

You're up, my friend.

Here's another unnecessary triple.

Strictly speaking, it's not a "stealth" triple

in that I'm using 3 different names.

This movie is a send-up of secondary schools. A new teacher is recruited

to try to teach uninspired teenagers to like education in their

time at a school to train future superheroes. His job is bad enough,

but the school's also taken a Psychiatrist on staff, and he's

acrophobic- a problem when you have to FLY to reach the school!

Actors include Kurt Russell as one of the parents, Mary Winsted as one of

the students, Jon Lovitz as the new teacher, and Mel Brooks as the

Psychiatrist.

Well, the second two-thirds would be "Sky High Anxiety." That might be the whole title, too, since you're hinting at a (semi-)stealth triple. I don't recognize the first movie; could it be called "Sky"?

George

[WordWolf]

Well, the second two-thirds would be "Sky High Anxiety."

No, you named 1 and 3 and skipped 2, the spoof with the new teacher.

That might be the whole title, too,

You definitely left out at least 1 word (technically 2) in the middle.

(Which should tell you what the last word "missing" is.)

since you're hinting at a (semi-)stealth triple.

It is indeed a semi-stealth triple. You'll understand when you have

the entire title.

I don't recognize the first movie; could it be called "Sky"?

George

You recognized 1 and 3 and still have the one in the middle to name.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Maybe there's a movie "High High"? The final puzzle then could be

"Sky High High Anxiety."

[GeorgeStGeorge]

OK, then. (And I actually vaguely remember "High School High.")

Sky High School High Anxiety

Actually, naming it "High High" would have been fair also,

except people would have expected a drug movie.

Your turn.

In this TV movie, a convicted rapist, upon his release, stalks the family of his defense attorney. He encounters zombies who, having overrun the South, are making their way into California.

George

Hm.

Is this "Dead Man (the) Walking Dead"?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Hm.

Is this "Dead Man (the) Walking Dead"?

No. This one isn't "recursive." As for the second half, think prequel to the show you mention.

George

[WordWolf]

No. This one isn't "recursive." As for the second half, think prequel to the show you mention.

George

I didn't realize the shows were connected.

Makes the first clue make sense now, since it seemed like "Cape Fear."

So, we have "Cape Fear the Walking Dead."

Indeed we do. You're up, again.

Stealth triple time, again.

In this tv-movie, a superhero acts as interstellar police.

He's killed- but eventually he is able to convince his sidekicks he can contact

them, and they bring his killer to justice.

He continues as a superhero-but now as a supernatural, spectral vigilante.

(Hey, this would totally work as a story!)

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Space Ghost Story"?

George

[WordWolf]

I did not describe any version of "Ghost Story."

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Space Ghost Rider"?

George

[WordWolf]

"Space Ghost Rider"?

George

That's it,

and doesn't that description sound like it would work?

Actually, it sounds a lot like what happened to Green Lantern (Hal Jordan):

He was an interstellar cop.

He was killed (as Parallax, by Green Arrow), but came back, appearing to Ollie Queen and others.

After saving the world from the Sun-Eater (and dying again), he came back as the Spectre.

(Now, he's back to being Green Lantern.)

George

[WordWolf]

I liked it better when he was the Spectre.

But, yes, that does sound familiar.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

A triple (semi-stealth)

Four American soldiers in Iraq are caught in an ambush just two weeks before coming home. Much has changed when they do return home. One thinks he's a Scottish warrior fighting against England. Another finds that his wife is now a professional race car driver.
