Let's Play Movie Mash-Up

[Asclepius]

The Serpent and the RainBowfinger?

 

[His Name Is Frank]

Yes sir.

 

[TheLoveBandit]

I believe the intent is that whomever answers is to provide the next question, but considering the dearth of questions, I'll put a few in the pipeline:


1 - Two (very popular) stoners get hired to bootleg Texas beer to a private party in the South.

2 - Morgan Freeman works with a young white Apartheid boy, who grows up to lead a rebellion against the head nurse of an asylum.

3 - Atticus Finch is a classic defense lawyer, but the story ends up as another stupid film with Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn.

4 - The story starts off with four friends and follows the effects of drug (ab)use for each of them, culminating in a fight to the death between Dennis Quaid and David Patrick Kelley.

5 - Two likeable high school punks have a history project due, but things go bad when Molly Ringwald starts acting on the set of a barren wasteland. (Shit, there is a word at the start of the second film title I forgot about ...see if you can work with it anyways)

6 - Shout out to the Ray Harryhausen fans (with hints given as a *). This is the story of a man who begins a journey in 1958 (*film release) as he and his crew encounter a cyclops and later a dragon, then conclude their journeys with trying to get Prince Kassim returned to human form in time for his coronation (*1977). ALTERNATIVELY: This story begins with a man on a journey, joined by the Vizier, as they attempt to solve the riddle of a map (*1974); then conclude his journey with getting Prince Kassim to his coronation (*1977).


7*(if we allow a tv show title) - A cranky car mechanic and a young latino provide comedic relief for a musical film about Don Quixote.

 

[TheLoveBandit]

Easy one, for anyone needing a starter:

A visually stunning presentation of a very popular album which chronicles the rise and decline of a musical artist, ending with financial destruction for all around our central character with him going to jail (*he returns in a sequel).

 

[Fawkes]

wait so the next person should answer all 7 of those or should the next person use one of them?? i don't get it - but i've got my own so i'm gonna use it.

post #44 - was The Wall Street.

I thought we were waiting for Asclepius since he got the last one...

 

[TheLoveBandit]

We are/would-be waiting on Asclepius, but we also have seen this thread struggling for people to put up questions. Mine were intended to be 'available', but not required.....just trying to keep the thread moving. Apologies if I've started clapping out of time. I'm special that way.

I have no answer for FP's question, but for voodoolounge

A) A boy becomes a man overnight, then tries to retrieve his stolen truck from ancient Chinese wizards

I was really trying to come up with something for the second movie, but couldn't. Kudos for "BIG/Big Trouble in Little China"

 

[Fawkes]

^ what? you can't skip me!

i think the rule should be: someone shouldn't answer without including a new set of clues. maybe we should knock out TLB's and voodoo's first though...?

1. Up in Smoke(y) and the Bandit
2. Power of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest


B) Ghosts of Mars Attacks
i know half of C but i'm totally stumped on D.

 

[TheLoveBandit]

C) A poor immigrant becomes a drug kingpin, then must switch faces with his enemy

D) A black detective looks for a murderer in a racially charged town, then monsters come up from below the earth

C) Scarface/Faceoff

D) ... I got nuthin.... Except maybe "Heat of the night/night of the living dead" ?

i think the rule should be: someone shouldn't answer without including a new set of clues.

Agreed, but I had the impression people weren't answering, at least in part, because they couldn't come up with a follow up question

 

[voodoolounge]

D) ... I got nuthin.... Except maybe "Heat of the night/night of the living dead" ?

I was thinking Heat of the Nightbreed, but yeah the living dead DO rise from the earth. (tried to make that last one really tricky...good job)

Futurepig: Didn't mean to skip ya, I guess we were posting at the same time.
Garden State of Play

And to keep it going: POWs plan to break out of a prison camp, while a hero must save the president in a free-for-all prison

 

[Asclepius]

^The Great Escape from New York

I thought we were waiting for Asclepius since he got the last one...

Thanks for consideration though!

Dennis Quaid is tackling both; corruption in the police force, as well as an Alluring Attorney, while exploring Americana, only to find out the land of the Free isn't as liberating as what it has been made out to be...

 

[His Name Is Frank]

Big Easy Rider


99.9 percent of the world's population is dead because of a virus, yet four boys are obsessed with seeing just one single dead body.

 

[HoneyRoastedPeanut]

The Stand By Me

Charlie Chaplin's tramp finds the love of a blind girl in a mysterious, twisted city controlled by otherwordly figures.

 

[Asclepius]

City LightSin City?

Two Friends fend off Evil Baddies with vinyl weapons while a Rapists soul is saved by a Holy Lady.

 

[His Name Is Frank]

Shaun of the Dead Man Walking.

I think the other was supposed to be Sin City Lights, but the clue was backwards.




A football legend struggles to deal with an over-whelming life after his college career ends while a yuppie struggles to deal with his over-whelming desire to end life.

 

[HoneyRoastedPeanut]

Actually it is Dark City Lights, and yes the clue was meant to be tricky that way

 

[His Name Is Frank]

Yes, I meant Dark City. Damn, my not paying attention to what I type.

 

[Asclepius]

Everybodys All- American Psycho?

Aquatic terror of a, Musical film Adaption of a youth torn between two identities?
(this one is a little more phonetically based!)

 

[His Name Is Frank]

You're good. :D
