> #4 Oh I can hold my breath for a long, long time!

Richard Vickers (Leslie Nielsen) in Creepshow.

#14--Vince Vaughn in Swingers
#24--Mathew McConaughey in A Time to Kill

29. You are master of all you survey.
-- So I was yesterday. And the day before.
Superman 2 (Gen. Zod and the lady bad-guy)

#2 Powers Boothe to the angry kid with the Beret in Red Dawn.

#22 is Hicks (Michael Biehn )to what's left of his squad & Ripley in Aliens.

#30: Wall Street, Charlie Sheen

#31: Romancing the Stone, Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas.

#38: Star Wars, Harrison Ford

49. Pretty in Pink ( the rich dreamboat to the scuzzy-souled rich kid who is doing his best to make Ringwald's life hell.)

/slinks off in shame for knowing this.

#ll - Tom Arnold to Arnold in True Lies...

#1: Road House, Patrick Swayze

#6, Animal House, Pinto (can't remember the actor's name, dammit) and Donald Sutherland.

all correct, except 38 is not Harrison Ford nor Star Wars

Although, now that I think about it, it does sound like the sort of thing that Han Solo would say. Maybe he said something like that (after hiding the boys in the cargo containers), but it's not actually from that movie.

No one has figured out the twist yet, huh?

If you figure it out, it will make the tougher ones easier.

#1 Patrick Swayze in Road House
#33 Fred Willard in This is Spinal Tap
#35 Heath Ledger and David Krumholtz in 10 Things I Hate about You

#13 Old School- taxi driver at beginning

#15 Office Space: Lawrence the neighbor

Oh, and #15 is Diedrich Bader in Office Space

#6 Pinto and Donald Sutherland in "Animal House"

#33 Fred Willard in "Spinal Tap"

#18, Old Woman and Beavis on bus, in Beavis and Butthead do America

#27 is Jack Walsh- Midnight Run.

De Niro gives his full name once from a telephone. I think it's John Wesley Walsh. But I haven't seen the movie in a while.

That's his name, but it is Marvin Dorfler who says the name, when he's calling to cancel Jack's credit cards.

"This is Jack Walsh... uhhh... John Wesley Walsh?"

#5

One of the Dirty Harry movies, Magnum Force, I think. I don't recall the actress' name, but she was somehow Asian/Indian. She was his neighbor.

Dirty Harry was played by Clint Eastwood.

#9. Orson Welles in "The Third Man." One of the all time greats.

Damn

all correct except #38... and still no one knows the twist.

Figured the first three would give it away.

I have a guess at the twist.

#1 is from Road House with Patrick Swayze.

#2 is from another Swayze film, Red Dawn, which also has C. Thomas Howell, which brings us to...

#3 which I am gonna guess is from Soul Man, anothe C. Thomas Howell movie,

Thus each sucessive quote is by a co-actor from the movie which the previous quote was taken.

(I know #6 and #7 works that way too)

Am I close?

Oh, I posted that guess at the trick.

I don't know if this is the twist, but reading all 40 quotes sequentially reads like a very bizarre, but passable conversation.

Or maybe it's the Irish Whiskey already coursing through my veins.....

#25 Character "Lee Donowitz" in True Romance. I always guess that the quotes are from True Romance on these things, and one day, I'll get one right.

#28 Yaphet Kotto as "Mr. Big" in Live and Let Die.

Without looking at previous comments...in other words, I didn't cheat.

2. Red Dawn. Powers Boothe and C. Thomas Howell

4. Creepshow. Leslie Nielsen

24. A Time to Kill. Matthew McConaughey

26. Beverly Hills Cop. Judge Rienhold and that other dude.

33. This is Spinal Tap. I'm not sure who said it or even if this is the right movie.

38. Star Wars. Han Solo, baby!

39. Sixteen Candles. Farmer Ted to Molly Ringwald

1. Road House. Patrick Swayze.

Im not convinced everbody has #2 correct for a couple reasons, 1) I haven't seen that movie and 2) I know that quote.

Or at least I think I do.

#25 Character "Lee Donowitz" in True Romance. I always guess that the quotes are from True Romance on these things, and one day, I'll get one right.

-- You guessed right this time.

Potato Head has guessed the trick. All entries are related to the previous and next entry by common actors in the film -- not necessarily the actor quoted (actually, it almost never is), but there are Kevin-Bacon-style connections between all adjacent quotes.

In only a couple of cases is the connection obscure. In one case, it's damn near impossible to get, and I don't think I'll believe you if you say you got it without googling... unless you've got some bona fides as a major fan of the film.

Ten is sounding familiar. I think it's Bogart. Funny thing is I can see the scene in my head and i know the plot of the movie. He's a PI, he's trailed a woman to Mexico, and a tour guide comes around offering to show them around. The whole movie's told in flashback; it starts with him working a gas station in the middle of nowhere, hiding from the man whose wife he had trailed to Mexico...

Argh. These are tough. Hope you're giving partial credit.

Fat Kid,

It's correct. It's Powers Boothe (The Colonel, the downed pilot) talking to, I think, "Robert," played by C. Thomas Howell.

20. Wait. Where are you going? I was going to make Espresso. -

Gene Hackman as the Hermit in Young Frankenstein

#7 is from Kelly's Heros, I think Telly Savalas talking to the rest of the platoon.

Is #20 also from Beverly Hills Cop? The guy in the gallery talking to Eddie.

#37 Sounds like something Ned Flanders would say. But I've got no clue as to what episode.

#37 - The Spanish Prisoner

Mamet's wife said it over and over and over again.

That was me on #37, but you knew that already.

I didn't know. I strongly suspected.

#34--Larry Miller in "Best of Show".

#40 Pretty in Pink, Andrew McCarthy.

#32 is Steve Martin and a butler in "Man With Two Brains". The butler plays a hotel desk clerk, "I'm just as God made me, sir!" in Spinal Tap (from whence the next line by Fred Willard came).
People already got the other ones I know.

#38 Steve Martin, Vincent Antonelli, 'My Blue Heaven"

AH! Number eight is from On her Majesty's Secret Service--it's Teresa's father, though I don't know the character's name nor the actor's.

But I saw Telly Savalas in number seven and remembered he played Blofeld in that one.

Two Bond movies, eh? Sneaky.

Am I all wet on Bogart for #10? It might be from Touch of Evil.

Oh, yeah. There's Orson Welles in number 9. Touch of Evil. No clue who, though the Charlton Heston character was Mexican so it wasn't him.

That was me with touch of evil. I got excited and had a premature posting. I'll contact my doctor.

It was Touch of Evil, and the second character is Charlton Heston (Vargas, the deleted name).

So.... everyone's getting them. #38 was from My Blue Heaven, though yeah, I think Han Solo says virtually the same thing in Star Wars. Man with Two Brains, check, Spinal Tap, check, link between best in show and spinal tap, check.

And yes-- two james bond movies. Just turned out that way.

#9 The Third Man - Orson Welles as Harry Lime

#20 - Gene Hackman in Young Frankenstein

#6 Animal House - Donald Sutherland to Boon (Peter Reigert)
#7 from Kelly's Heroes (which had Donald Sutherland)

#11 is from Basic Instinct

Well, I didn't know this until someone pointed out the trick and said that #3 must therefore be a C. Thomas Howell movie...

"3. This is the Cosby decade. America loves black people."

Soul Man.

God what an awful movie. I feel dirty even for knowing that.

17 might be Demi Moore to Rob Lowe in St. Elmo's Fire

and with Judd Nelson leads me to think . . .

16 could be near the end of Jay and Silent Bob, possibly Randall to Dante

21 could be Daredevil said by whoever played Bullseye

and there may be a very slim chance that . . .

33 was from Empire Records. I don't recall who might have said it, but it would fit with sexy Rexy's visit.

Correct on first two, wrong on second two.

Here's the end of the chain:

#31 "Romancing The Stone", which starred
Kathleen Turner, who was also in:
#32 "The Man with Two Brains", which featured
Paul Benedict, who was also in:
#33 "This is Spinal Tap", which starred
Chris Guest, who was also in:
#34 "Best in Show", which featured
Larry Miller, who was also in:
#35 "10 Things I Hate About You", which featured
Julia Stiles, who was also in:
#36 "Hamlet (2000)", which starred
Campbell Scott, who was in:
#37 "The Spanish Prisoner", which starred
Steve Martin, who also starred in:
#38 "My Blue Heaven", which featured
Joan Cusak, who also apeared in:
#39 "Sixteen Candles", which starred
Molly Ringwald, who also starred in:
# 40 Pretty in Pink.

Whew! Still working on the rest of the quiz.

21 is really easy, I think, especially if you know the actor in 20.

Or the movie in 22.

Both of which have been gotten: Gene Hackman in 20, Michael Biehn in 22.

Nice work, Log Cabin.

For some of these, I have to admit, I forget the link, and I really wonder if I'll be able to remember when I post the answers.

I didn't remember the Judd Nelson link until Lord Floppington reminded me.

bulldog,

right as to the first two, wrong on the third.

Russel,

Yeahp. Altho I think it was an okay movie.

Log Cabin,

Wait, wrong, #36 is not Hamlet.

#12 The Rundown, the kid from 'American Pie'

is #21 the character ace from the quick and the dead?

patriot,

yes.

ray,

yes.

Correction: line #36 must be from "State and Main", which had Julia Stiles from #35s "10 Things I hate about you" and had four...count 'em... four actors from #37 "the Spanish Prisoner":
Ricky Jay, G. Roy Levin, Jerry Graf, Paul Butler.

Because both were directed by David Mamet!
Do I get extra credit??????

20. "Wait. Where are you going? I was going to make Espresso. " -- Young Frankenstein.

26. "Wow. You know, it says here that by the time the average American is fifty, he has five pounds of undigested red meat in his bowels. "
-- "Why are you telling me this? What makes you think I have any interest in that at all?"
"Well, you eat a lot of red meat." -- Beverly Hills Cop

33. "May I start by saying how thrilled we are to have you here. We are such fans of your music and all of your records. I'm not speaking of yours personally, but the whole genre of the rock and roll. " -- Hmmmmmmm. This Is Spinal Tap (I think).

22 is Bill Paxton from Frailty

Wow, finally someone got that one.

I think on Monday I'm doing a new feature: Six Degrees of Bill Paxton.

Try this one

I hate it when they ain't been shaved.

28 is James Bond (Roger Moore) and Mr. Big (Yaphet Kotto) from LIVE AND LET DIE

More to follow…

Log Cabin, you're the only one getting into the proper spirit of things. I commend you.

But you totally IMDB'd to get Bernard Lee in The Third Man.

I am the only guy in the world who is a dedicated James Bond geek and who also saw the Third Man who knows that, "clean."

I cop a guilty plea, Ace. I had to use IMDB for about half of these. But I had a lot of fun watching alot of these flicks last weekend , as I am down with Bronchitis. I have alot of these on DVD and so it was an excuse to finally watch them. My partner couldn't under stand why I would keep fast forwarding through all the DVDsand then taking notes!

I am recording Frailty, Office Space and High Anxiety on tivo this week and burning the discs. High Anxiety is probably Mel Brooks' worst movie if I recall. Don't know if I can sit through it, but Cloris Leachman was awesome (No fruit Cup for you!).
