And saves Jimmy on the Hoover Dam.

"Fly. Don't look, just...fly. We got something out there. I'm not saying what. Just...something."

Correct. And Noel Neill played Lois Lane's mom. (Lois was the girl who saw the boy outrun her train.)

This movie featured a return of the title character to the big screen (but was not a sequel.)

The title character appears 48 minutes into the film. The title is first heard 1 hour, 33 minutes

into the film.

Superman had been in the theaters, serialized (not in a feature film, so I phrased this awkwardly.)

Christopher Reeve appears in the movie 48 minutes in, and is only named 'Superman' when Lois composes

her exclusive.

The title character's tagline (an alternate version) is illustrated, in parts, across the movie.

The actor who portrayed the title character the previous time he was in cinema had a cameo

in this movie.

Clark catches a bullet fired at Lois, (later circling the Earth in seconds),

outraces a train and saves another when its track is gapped,

rescues Lois and returns the helicopter to the roof in one motion.

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a

single bound. A variation of that was "able to soar higher than any plane!" and he carried the missile

to the end of the Earth's atmosphere.

This film's cast included Larry Hagman and John Ratzenberger.

Ratzenberger was in air traffic control (and mission control in the second movie.)

Hagman was the General moving the nuke by truck.

If Hoover Dam was really in danger, there would be no risk of flooding nearby towns downstream.

In the movie, however, there were towns downstream of the dam where there are none IRL.

If Air Force One lost ONE engine, it would still fly fine and need no rescue.

Air Force One is only AF1 when the US President is aboard, so there's no need to announce that

they're Air Force One and the President is aboard.

Let's try something a little different.

For the following Bond girls, name the movie and tell whether or not she's alive at the end (if we don't see her die, assume she's alive):

(Blocked by cuss blocker, but you know who) Galore

Tiffany Case

Honey Rider

Fiona Volpe

Teresa DiVicenzo

Plenty O'Toole

Solitaire

Mary Goodnight

Andrea Anders

Anya Amasova

Jill Masterson

Corinne DuFour

Bibi Dahl

Octopussy

Stacey Sutton

Pam Bouvier

Xenia Onatopp

Wai Lin Paris Carver

Christmas Jones

Jinx

Vesper Lynd

Strawberry Fields

Holly Goodhead

May Day

Note: A couple of movies appear more than once.

Ok, I'm almost useless with this list, but here's what I've got.

Goodnight was in "Man With the Golden Gun." She survived to the closing credits

and showed signs of being very healthy at that point.

Bibi Dahl was in "For Your Eyes Only", and survived, AFAIK.

She's not the official Bond girl, so this movie has another woman, but I don't

remember which. (Corinne duFour???) The other one survives, also.

Strawberry Fields is from one of the Daniel Craig ones, possibly "Spectre."

CORRECT

CORRECT

She's not the official Bond girl, so this movie has another woman, but I don't

remember which. (Corinne duFour???) (INCORRECT)The other one survives, also. I did not list the other two Bond women from this film. "Melina Havelock" survived; "Lisl von Schlaf" did not.

Strawberry Fields is from one of the Daniel Craig ones, possibly "Spectre." (Wrong Craig film.)

So, so far, we have:

A decent start, especially because you didn't get any of the more famous ones.

Backtracking for a second here because of the botched Superman quote and botched correction.

"Fly. Don't look. Just... fly. We've got... something. I'm not saying what it is. Just... trust me."

Fine. I was quoting from memory. Perhaps WW was, as well.

Back to Bond, James Bond.

"Fly. Don't look. Just... fly. We've got... something. I'm not saying what it is. Just... trust me."

I thought it was "trust me", but I thought he confirmed his quote so I just trusted him.

I went from memory also, but that particular line stayed with me.

(Saw it 4x in the theater, 2x on 2 different days, back when.)

[Raf]

We got something.

I ain't saying what it is.

Minor correx, but there it is

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Can we get back to the game, now?

George

[WordWolf]

Mrs Wolf and I agree Jinx was played by Halle Berry in a Pierce Brosnan film. She said it was his second, which I THINK is "Die Another Day." We think she survives.

Octopussy is from "Octopussy", and we THINK she survives.

 

Vesper Lind, my memory surfaced. She was in the reboot of "Casino Royale",  I THINIK she died.  

 

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I'm confused by this new set-up.  How does one reply directly to a post, as before?

 

Anyway, Mr. and Mrs. Wolf are correct on all three.  (I figured that Octopussy should have been pretty obvious.) So, now we have

If I change Teresa diVicenzo to Teresa diVicenzo Bond, does that help?

Look at the end of the post. Hit "quote."   Seems equivalent to me.

Actually, I'm more annoyed by the inability to start a new line without skipping a line.

That's obviously a formatting issue.

If I change Teresa diVicenzo to Teresa diVicenzo Bond, does that help? 

George

It might-for posters who saw the movies. I saw pieces of a lot of them.  I saw all of "TMWTGG", once upon a time,

and I had the comic book adaptation of "FYIO."  Everything else is by osmosis or seeing clips here and there.

 

[GeorgeStGeorge]

There was only one movie where JB actually got married.

George

[modcat5]

That would be "One Her Majesty's Secret Service."

 

How do you determine who wins this round? 

 

Raf

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I was going to see how many were actually correctly guessed, but it seems w've hit a standstill, and I'll be gone all weekend.  So:

P-ssy Galore (Honor Blackman)  Goldfinger -- Survives

Tiffany Case  (Jill St. John) Diamonds are Forever -- Survives

Honey Rider   (Ursula Andress) Dr. No -- Survives

Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi)  Thunderball -- dies

Teresa DiVicenzo (Diana Rigg) On Her Majesty's Secret Service -- dies

Plenty O'Toole  (Lana Wood)  Diamonds Are Forever -- survives (being thrown out of a ten-story hotel room into the pool!)

Solitaire (Jane Seymour)  Live and Let Die -- Survives

Mary Goodnight (Britt Ekland) Man w/Golden Gun -- Survives

Andrea Anders (Maud Adams) Man w/Golden Gun -- dies

Anya Amasova  (Barbara Bach)  The Spy Who Loved Me -- survives

Jill Masterson  (Shirley Eaton)  Goldfinger -- dies (the iconic gold-paint covered death)

Corinne DuFour  (Corinne Clery)  Moonraker -- dies

Bibi Dahl (Lynn-Holly Johnson) For Your Eyes Only --Survives

Octopussy  (Maud Adams) Octopussy -- Survives

Stacey Sutton (Tanya Roberts)  A View to a Kill -- Survives

Pam Bouvier  (Cary Lowell)  Licence to Kill -- Survives

Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen)  Goldeneye -- Dies

Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh)  Tomorrow Never Dies -- Survives

Christmas Jones (Denise Richards) The World is not Enough -- survives

Jinx (Halle Berry)    Die Another Day -- Survives

Paris Carver (Teri Hatcher) Tomorrow Never Dies  -- dies

Vesper Lynd  (Eva Green) -- (newer) Casino Royale -- Dies

Strawberry Fields (Gemma Arterton)  Quantum of Solace -- dies

Holly Goodhead  (Lois Chiles)  Moonraker -- survives

May Day (Grace Jones)  A View to a Kill -- dies

 

WordWolf got the most, so I'll give it to him, unless he wants to open it up as a free post.

If anyone's got one, they can take this turn as a FREE POST.

 

[Human without the bean]

This sci-fi action movie was based upon the Dark Horse comic book of the same name. The movie was spunoff into a sequel and a tv series, as well a comic book and a video game. There is a reboot for the sci-fi action film in development with the script writing now in process.  Although not very well received by critics, (43% rotten tomatoes) it was a commercially successful film grossing over 100,000,000 world wide equivalent to many more millions by today's standards .  It was the second film for the lead actor to gross over 100,000,000. A Schwarzenegger transplant of sorts he wasn't known by audiences so much for his acting skills as he was for his physique.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I believe it.  Van Damme ("the muscles from Brussels") was in the movie, and I enjoyed the TV show.  Didn't know about the comic, although I have little knowledge of the Dark Horse line.

Yeah I kind of gave it away.  I should have held off with that Arnie transplant part for awhile.

Three different versions of this story have been filmed, all with the same title.

The first one was so bad it's never been released. But that was the intent of the producers all along: they had to shoot a movie to keep the rights to the story. But they didn't have to release it. The actors were not aware that they were wasting their time.

The second was not great, but performed well enough to spawn a sequel. It was later decided to reboot the story again.

The reboot (third try) premiered 10 years after the second version of the story.

Ok, the Timecop one had me, but this should be "the Fantastic Four."  Alex Hyde-White played a Mr Fantastic whose movie never hit the theaters.  Stan Lee mentioned it in "Stan's Soapbox" and said it was coming soon, and that's the last he ever said about it, IIRC. 

[Raf]

Good. I didn't want this one to sit for long.

Next clues would have made obvious references to Chris Evans and Jessica Alba.
