  1. My dad built several kits for me, but finally I tackled this one all by my little 7-year-old self: Did manage to get it assembled, although I recall using the front shocks as grille decorations...
  2. Mary Woronov you got right, and Eating Raoul you got right. Keep trying! More hints: There's a maroon '53 Buick Skylark featured in the film, plus a white-over-blue '74 Coupe deVille (not a happy ending for that one). There's also a car name in the movie's title...
  3. OK, more hints: The star of the film started her career four years earlier in what many call "the worst movie musical EVER made". Two of the other cast members were previously in a movie about cannibalism (it was a comedy). The daughter of yet another cast member was one of the actresses who played Audrey Griswold.
  4. Subject and predicate are basic parts of sentence structure.
  5. Number is how I feel after a shot of Novocaine from the dentist.
  6. Let's do another. "Great car." "Thanks! I have 23 of them. You wanna go for a ride?" "More than you know!" Hint: DMK.
  7. Floyd Robertson and Earl Camembert were the hosts of SCTV News Today.
  8. Round2 would probably do well to tool up a van body for the ex-IMC Dodge A-100/Little Red Wagon.
  9. Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo...
  10. "Lately, I've had these awful-looking brown patches."
  11. Sapiens is the debut PC title from solo developer Dave Frampton.
  12. Never play with matches after turning on the gas jets and spilling gasoline on the floor because shrapnel from exploding houses may be dangerous to passing birds.
  13. "Brush your teeth right down the drain with Ajax Cleanser", said the announcer before he realized the TelePrompTer had jammed.
  14. Therapeutic, here a peutic, everywhere a peutic peutic; Old MacDonald had a farm.
  15. "Child support" is another term for "tricycle seat".
  16. Nope on all those, although you have the right studio (20th Century-Fox). Guess we might as well put this one to bed; it's Tora! Tora! Tora!. The clues: Hint: Actor won two Oscars (neither was for this role). So did the movie. Jason Robards (as Lt. General Walter C. Short) made the quote; he won Oscars for All the President's Men (1976) and Julia (1977). L.B. Abbott and A. D. Flowers won Oscars for Visual Effects. Another of the movie's actors (in a small but historically significant role) used to work for Desi Arnaz Jerry Fogel (as LCDR William Outerbridge, CO, USS Ward, which fired the first shots on December 7th and sank a Japanese midget sub); played Jerry Buell on The Mothers-In-Law, produced by Desi Arnaz. another (in the extended version only) was better known for playing a character in a long-running film series; that character's name was in the title of this movie. Kiyoshi Atsumi (as a ship's cook in the extended version); starred in a long-running Japanese film series as "Tora-san". Submarines were involved, partly - but think small, very small. and not very successful. Japanese midget subs used in the attack; most were sunk, one was beached and one crewman became the first Japanese POW. One member of the large cast started his career with Citizen Kane and ended it with Heaven's Gate. Joseph Cotten (as Secretary of War Henry Stimson). Another only made two American films but was in another film in his home country that became a comedy when it was dubbed into English. Tatsuya Mihashi (as Commander Minoru Genda); his other American film was None but the Brave (1965) and the dubbed film was Woody Allen's What's Up, Tiger Lily?. Seven Days in May and the movie in question both feature three of the same actors. One actor previously worked for Alfred Hitchcock, one previously worked for Blake Edwards, and the other previously worked for Stanley Kubrick. Martin Balsam (as Admiral Kimmel) was in Psycho; George Macready (as Secretary of State Cordell Hull) was in The Great Race; Richard Anderson (as Captain John Earle) was in Paths of Glory, respectively. Thanks for letting me play this out so long!
  17. nope - in color and Panavision.
  18. "Music! Music! Music!" was a 1949 hit for Teresa Brewer that was originally the B-side of "Copenhagen".
  19. Nope, a bit too early, but you're warm in one way: Seven Days in May and the movie in question both feature three of the same actors. One actor previously worked for Alfred Hitchcock, one previously worked for Blake Edwards, and the other previously worked for Stanley Kubrick. (This is fun, but it's gonna take a whole page to write out the answers to the clues!) (Oh, it's not The Longest Day, either.)
  20. Nope. More hints? One member of the large cast started his career with Citizen Kane and ended it with Heaven's Gate. Another only made two American films but was in another film in his home country that became a comedy when it was dubbed into English.
  21. Still nope. Submarines were involved, partly - but think small, very small. and not very successful.
  22. Previous one was Fargo. Nope. A couple more clues: Another of the movie's actors (in a small but historically significant role) used to work for Desi Arnaz, while another (in the extended version only) was better known for playing a character in a long-running film series; that character's name was in the title of this movie.
