Movie Mash-Up


Recommended Posts

Ok, to move this along, "Batman the Movie".

The moustachioed guy was Cesar Romero. As a kid, I never noticed the moustache

under the makeup.

The cast-change was Julie Newmar replaced by Lee Meriwether.

(Julie couldn't clear her schedule for the shooting.)

Given that 3 different recurring villains were played by more than 1 actor,

none of whom looked like each other, this didn't seem peculiar to me

when I was the movie. Then again, I saw it on television years later.

(I wasn't ALIVE when the movie hit the theaters.)

It was actually Joey Bishop that tipped me off.

It is often thought that this woman dubbed Julie Andrews's voice in "The Sound of Music." She did not, but DID dub Deborah Kerr in "The King and I," Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady," part of Marilyn Monroe's singing in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," and both Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno in "West Side Story." Her work was mostly uncredited; in a couple of instances, the actresses didn't even know they were voiced over.

No idea.

I'm hoping more of the rounds will be aimed at movies than actors or actresses.

This was a bit of a stretch, but it IS movie trivia.

Marni Nixon. With all of her uncredited voice work, she was dubbed "The Ghostest with the Mostest." She actually appears in "The Sound of Music," as one of the nuns.

I can't tell if this is a list of characters or a list of actors.

Guessing it's actors and guessing from there, my wild guess is

"the Dream Team."

Doubt it. Although "The Dream Team" did have a Mr. Keaton, the other main players were Mr. Furst, Mr. Lloyd, and Mr. Boyle.

Ok, it's "the Usual Suspects." So let's move this along.

Cary Elwes' title role was not the most respected interpretation of his character,

but he was the most respected in recent memory..at least when it aired,

I'm not certain about now.

Yes.

More respected than Costner, less so than Flynn decades before.

I have no idea about Crowe.

Too easy?

Not necessarily.

I just remember Elwes jabbing at Costner by saying that he (Elwes), unlike other Robin Hoods, could speak in a British accent. :)

Give me a bit to come up with another.

This film could have been cast with Gene Wilder, Sally Kellerman, Petula Clark, and George C. Scott, instead of Red Buttons, Stella Stevens, Carol Lynley, and Gene Hackman, respectively. The former group were all considered for or offered the roles portrayed by the latter.

Why didn't you say that 2 days ago Mr. Wolf?

Oh that's too easy, and you guys are experts. smile.gif I'm not playing, I"m just lurking and getting a kick out of watching you two go at it. smile.gif

Your right Rottie, They are pretty good. Makes it tough on me to get my 2 cents in. dry.gif

2 days ago, I was hoping for another clue, a chance to figure it out fair and square.

At 5 days without a 2nd clue, I call the round abandoned and move on.

Either the poster is out of reach or doesn't mind stalling the thread.

I have absolutely no idea about this one. I'd like it if RG would step in and take a round,

since it's easy to her.

RG is correct. It was "The Poseidon Adventure."

I gotta tell ya, Rottie, these games are a LOT more fun when more people are playing. These days, it's pretty much me, WW and Human, with the occasional visit from Raf or hiway29. Remember, it's OK to google if you're GIVING the clues. In fact, I thought about "The Poseidon Adventure," and then went to IMDb for trivia.

I'll call it a FREE POST, but I'd still prefer RG to give it a go.
