3. The Tempest in space.

Forbidden Planet

 

[DavidSnider]

Amazing how many movies involved "A trip down a river that ends in a bang", Apocalypse Now would count as well

 

[zoobyshoe]

Schwarzenegger:
1.) Has the same actor for a foe as Mark Hamil did.

2.) Something about his wife makes you think of William Shatner.

3.) Something about his wife is instinctual.

4.) Something witchy about his daughter.

5.) He won't terminate you, but he will make you disappear.

6.)A "King-ly" role.

1) [strike]Star Wars[/strike] Conan the Barbarian (brain fart)
2) ?
3) Total Recall
4) True Lies
5) Eraser
6) Red Sonja (? he was a Lord)
7) Pumping Iron (I cheated and had to Wiki this...)

 

[mege]

OK sorry =) But correct

Requiem for a Dream is one of the few movies that has ever made me uncomfortable. I've seen it exactly twice, suggest to all my friends to watch it, but can't stand to watch it again.

Both have great sound tracks IMO.

 

[zoobyshoe]

1) Star Wars

Eh? I'm asking for the Schwarzenegger movie, not the Hamil movie.

3) Total Recall

Yes. Because Sharon Stone, who plays his wife, was well known for her role in Basic Instinct.

4) True Lies

Incorrect.

5) Eraser

Yes.

6) Red Sonja (? he was a Lord)

No.

7) Pumping Iron (I cheated and had to Wiki this...)

Yes.

Conan and Commando are correct as are the ones confirmed in mege's response.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Schwarzenegger:All answered except these two. #2 is an allusion the actress who plays his wife and a former famous role of hers. 2.) Something about his wife makes you think of William Shatner.

6.)A "King-ly" role. Perhaps better: A "King"-ly role.

I LOVE Requiem. I've seen it many times. It's just as devastating each time I watch it.

Near the end when the film starts scratching out and Tyrone and Harry are in the jail cell always gets to me man. "Somebody ****ing help us please" "My ****ing arm...I can't take it anymore"

That part gets to me, and then when it switches back and forth between all the characters (it starts off with the above scene) and it shows all their fates...man.

It's not even a crying sad. I don't feel the urge to cry, it hits me much much deeper. I'm too devastated to cry really.

The Running Man

Schwarzenegger:



1.) Has the same actor for a foe as Mark Hamil did.

4.) Something witchy about his daughter.

I don't really know why I typed star wars. I had conan the first time, then refreshed the page accidentally and quickly retyped answers.

For 4 - his daughter in True Lies is Eliza Dushku, whom also played Faith in Buffy. (I will admit I totally forgot that Alyssa Milano was his daughter in Commando)

 

[SpringCreek]

Two more Swarzenegger movies.

1. The Governor ain't got time to bleed.

2. He got the best of everything. His brother got the worst.

Easy.

Predator.
Twins.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Wiki tells me the character of Faith is a "slayer", not a witch. I think this answer would be a stretch compared to Alyssa Milano.

 

[zoobyshoe]

The Running Man

Right! Based on the story by Stephen King.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Schwarzenegger:

2.) Something about his wife makes you think of William Shatner.

Very obscure clue. You'd have to know an interesting but unforgettable, behind the scenes fact about the movie in which she played the role that made her famous long before staring with Schwarzenegger.

 

[SpringCreek]

Easy.

Predator.
Twins.

Got it.

Okay, a little harder this time.

1. Scientist goes mad over grandfather's work.

2. Rich guy robs art museum. Or does he?

3. British government employee's family motto.
