Movie Man
When film critic Will Pfeifer isn’t watching movies, he’s reading about movies, talking about movies, thinking about movies or dreaming about movies. Now he shares that unhealthy obsession with you. From Hollywood hits to Japanese obscurities, from Oscar night to the summer season, he’s got movies on the brain — and on this blog.

How well do you know your movie weapons?

Add comment July 17th, 2009

Here’s a quiz for all you science fiction slash action slash horror movie fans: This promotional poster for the Crazy 4 Cult Show by artist Tim Doyle contains about 40 weapons from various films. How many can you name?

At first glance, I spot Rick Deckard’s pistol from BLADE RUNNER, Rocky’s boxing glove, that spinner thing from KRULL, the backpack from GHOSTBUSTERS, the owl from CLASH OF THE TITANS, the gun from ALIENS, a chainsaw from (I’m guessing) TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, Han Solo’s pistol, a STAR TREK phaser,  Jason’s hockey mask (is that really a weapon?), Batman’s wire gun, Jesse Ventura’s helicopter gun from PREDATOR, a light sabre, Anton Chigurh’s airgun Anton from NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, the pistol from ROBOCOP and the ring from LORD OF THE YOU KNOW WHAT.

How about you? There’s a bigger image — and a contest to enter — here.

That’s all, folks.

Here’s a fun set of Flickr images showing the “THE END” title from a variety of movies, TV shows and cartoons.  Can anyone guess which five movies these are from?

The last one is probably the toughest, but I’ll just say that the “X” motif in the image plays a part in the film as well (and no, it’s not THE X-MEN). For a bonus point, tell us what the joke is in the Cagney image.

Very clever, Mr. Bond…

With QUANTUM OF SOLACE setting the record for the biggest Bond opening ever, it seems like a fine time to test one’s knowledge of all things 007. So here’s a quiz from EW.

 And here are a few questions of my own:

 1. Which actor played both a memorable Bond villian and the alien in the classic TWILIGHT ZONE episode, “To Serve Man”?

2. What was the profession of the real James Bond (the one Ian Fleming named the character after)?

3. Who played James Bond’s wife? (Yes, wife.)

4. Which actor played both a Bond villain and had a memorable appearance in THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW?

5. How does Goldfinger’s scheme in the movie differ from his scheme in the book?
