Subject: Who The Flippin' 'Eck Are We Quiz - hints!
Shameless plagiarism here on Hitchy's original idea and Indy Gent's follow up. All these are characters from some of my favourite movies. Can you identify the actor and the film?
Some characters are only referred to by their first name.
There's "double" points (hint) if you can identify which is NOT one of my favourite films but which I had to sit through recently with 10 girls aged 7 and 8 for my daughter's birthday party....
Limit 4 for now.
No limit!

Can I get clues really early on this one?
Subject: Re: Who The Flippin' 'Eck Are We Quiz
OK, #2 was all filmed in your neck of the woods...
Subject: Re: Who The Flippin' 'Eck Are We Quiz
the neck I live now or the neck I used to live? I'm working on an easy quiz for thickos like me
I'll hazard a guess at Mad Max...god knows where I plucked that answer from ;)

Correct-amundo boris66au! But who was the actor?
I think Max's surname is actually mentioned in the first film but in the 2 follow ups he's referred to only as "Max", "The Road Warrior" or "Raggedy Man".

FBVP - great to hear from you!
Correct for 2.5 points, as you get the half point credit for Mel Gibson as well.

Subject: Re: Who The Flippin' 'Eck Are We Quiz
Hi Maddog,
#18 That legendary sports photographer and sometime voyeur LB Jeffries was Jimmy Stewart in "Rear Window"
#19 A real longshot, considering that we only have the first name, but I'll go for Ingrid Bergman in "For Whom the Bell Tolls"
#15 is "Full Metal Jacket", but I have no idea who the actor was.
Hitchy
Subject: Re: Who The Flippin' 'Eck Are We Quiz
#1 is the eponymous hero played by Peter Weller in "Robocop"
#5 is Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in "Total Recall"

Hi Hitchy
18 is correct.
19 is not correct - it's not that I'm witholding Maria's surname, rather her surname is never revealed in the film.
15 is indeed Full Metal Jacket - anyone know the actor?

You know, I've been caught out here because you're right but that wasn't the movie I was thinking of, so I'll have to give a duplicate correct answer here!
I had in mind another film of similar genre and vintage though...
Subject: Re: Who The Flippin' 'Eck Are We Quiz
ok my next guess would be West Side Story with Natalie Wood

Yup!
I don't like many musicals (especially NOT The Sound Of Music) but West Side Story is great.
Subject: Re: Who The Flippin' 'Eck Are We Quiz
I love musicals...Grease has to be the best just for the fact you get to see John Travolta alot.
