Boredom Antidote (pat. pending)

Gah. Bored. Instigating a film trivia quiz.

Try and guess the name of the film from my description of the plot. Get it right and you can set the next one:

Two conmen escape from jail aided by a peer of the realm and some blow-up dolls. They attempt to spend 2 million pounds and go back to jail believing they have burnt it, but they are double-crossed by the peer, who spends it on a racehorse in a bid to save the family home.

You know the rules. No Googling etc... Go!

Sorry, almost forgot to set the next one.


A man is hired by a collector to inspect and acquire three items that are supposed to be identical to one he already has. Certain pictoral differences turn out to be a puzzle that leads to several gruesome murders, a group of black clad satanists, a shag in front of a french castle, and eventually infernal enlightenment.

Hope its not too tricky.

I'm taking time away from the puter for good behaviour but.....

Give up?

OK, so you probably havn't seen it. It stars Johnny Depp and is called (as Dierne knows) Ninth Gate. It's wierd but recommended. How about.....
Musician (and his bride to be) are murdered, so he comes back from the dead to kick some butt. Accompanied by a bird and some excellent music.

Gotta go back to work.
Have fun...

The Crow.

My go:

two out of work actors decide to go on holiday to detox. They go to the lake district, get very drunk, one narrowly avoids being buggered. They go home, via a police station, smoke a very big joint and get evicted.

Ok, so a guy wakes up in a strange place and finds out that he might a serial killer but he can't remember. He survives several attempts on his life from mysterious men in black and eventually, using new found psychic powers, kills said bad guys and changes the world.

Nope. Let me know when you give up. I'll give you a clue- this film has the same director as another that has already been suggested.

Never Give Uuuuuuuup

[identity profile] lucien-dark.livejournal.com 2003-07-31 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
The Film is Dark City, with Rufus Sewell and Richard O'Brien.

A delinquent, motorbike-riding teenager becomes the hero of the hour by ridding the world of his best friend, who has turned into an out of control, fucking huge telekinetic monster after being pumped full of drugs by the government.

Is everyone stuck, or does no-one care anymore? Would a clue be welcomed? :-)

Yes! Well done :-) I picked a bad weekend to go monster truck driving really, in the middle of this heated quiz and all :-)

Right. I guess I'm supposed to do one now, or has everyone given up and gone out in the sun?

Two guys find the woman of their dreams, despite wearing bra's on thier heads. Said woman ends up as a gym instructor after they leave her for two other girls.

It is Weird Science, the very last shot shows her in the School Gym about to give the boys PE.

I would have got a few of those bellow, but not the current one (about a huge telekenetic monster)

Did you see the Movie Quiz I did on my journal the other day?

You didnt put any answers in for the movie quiz though?

Anyway, the music quiz you did was my second as everyone complained the first one was too hard. Seeing as how you damn near aced this one how do you do on the harder one? (current best score is about 25 percent)

There are two more on my journal a few months ago, but I cant remember when they are.

After a bit of investigation into LJ old post browsing, I found my original two lyrics quizes from back in January.

This was the one that started the original lyrics meme when I posted it to Pure.

and this is the dodgy glammy (well eighties metal) one I did for those who like that sort of thing.
