Author Topic: Looking for some good movie trivia questions. Scott McGuire Film Handler Posts: 94 From: Elmira, NY/United States Registered: Oct 2007 posted 01-12-2008 05:35 PM                     I am helping put together a trivia night and am looking for some movie trivia to mix in with the questions. Any one have any thing good?  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-12-2008 10:11 PM                     What is Dorthy's last name in the Wizard Of Oz? The character, not the actress. What is Professor Marvel's horse's name in the Wizard Of Oz? What words are on the wizards balloon in the Wizard Of Oz? In what film did both Orson Wells and Woody Allen appear? Not a compilation, but an actual film.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-12-2008 11:19 PM                        Which Disney castle is depicted at the beginning of Disney's current films? Why are movies often referred to as "flicks?" And another Oz one: Who was the first actor slated to play the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz?  |  IP: Logged Robert W. Jones Film Handler Posts: 74 From: San Antonio, TX Registered: Mar 2007 posted 01-12-2008 11:49 PM                     What was "Rosebud"? duh How many films did John Ford shoot in Monument Valley? Why did Buddy Ebsen get sick and leave the cast of a film in 1938 due to an allergic reaction to aluminum poweder? How many horses were killed in the film "They Shoot Horses Don't They"? How many wives did Dustin Hoffman portraying Jack Crabb in the film "Little Big Man"? Last answer is five. Hoffman's first wife Olga, then the native american "Sunshine", plus had to service her three sisters. That makes five! What a life.... (this doesn't count Mrs. Pendrake). P.S. What is Lime Light?  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-13-2008 12:23 AM                     1) Why are coming attraction previews called "trailers"? 2) Why are streets watered down for night filming? 3) In what year was the MPAA rating system introduced? 4) What movie won the most Academy Awards without winning Best Picture?  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-13-2008 12:36 AM                     Who had the biggest schlong ever in Hollywood?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-13-2008 12:39 AM                        I'll try to answer Mike Coate's questions: 1) Because they used to play after the feature. 2) I think it is so that the surface of the street is actually visible. 3) I'm thinking late 60's, early 70's. 4) Big Momma's House  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

How about: Who is the first person to be seen as James Bond on the big screen?  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 01-13-2008 11:17 AM                     Do I win anything if I say "Casino Royale?" Only the respect of your fellow film buffs. Who is the first person to be seen as James Bond on the big screen A trickier question would be, Who was the first actor to play James Bond? Of course the answer is Barry Nelson, who played James Bond in the 1950's CBS tv production of Casino Royale.  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-13-2008 11:32 AM                     You got that right Mitchell, but my own question is plenty tricky. Can you guess?  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-13-2008 11:35 AM                       Mike H... ROFL!! LOL! Hillary, you're good, and I have a feeling this won't be right somehow. Sean Connery?  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-13-2008 11:38 AM                     I appreciate your reasonable answer Tim, but it really is a trick question: While it could easily be guessed (correctly) that Sean Connery was the first actor to play James Bond in "Dr. No," the first person to actually appear onscreen as Bond was stuntman and stunt coordinator Bob Simmons, who appears as Bond in the opening gunbarrel logo for the first three Bond films. Connery didn't appear in the opening sequence until "Thunderball."  |  IP: Logged
