movie trivia

The novel and subsequent movie "The Dirty Dozen" was based on a real life group of 101st Airborne soldiers in WWII. What was the nickname of the real life group?

 

the filthy 13. my Dad served in WWII at the Battle of the Bulge, so I grew up on all the war movies.

 

Thought that would take longer to answer.

 

i have a first edition of the novel too, so i had an inside track.

 

this is probably and easy one - what oscar winner actor portrays Liberty Valance in the movie - THE MAN WHO SHOOT LIBERTY VALANCE?

Jimmy Stewart gets credit for killing him, but it was really John Wayne's character that kills Valance.

 

Do you know who turned down the role that Telly Savalas played?

 

Lee Marvin

 

I'm not sure which part it was, but I remember reading somewhere that John Wayne turned down a part in THE DIRTY DOZEN.

 

Jack Palance.

 

I think he did turn down Lee Marvin's role. But, a different actor turned down Telly Savalas' role.

 

Yep

 

I had to look it up...John Wayne did turn down a role in the movie, but it was the role played by Lee Marvin.

 

correct. he's one mean SOB in it. him and that whip on Mr. Peabody was uncalled for.

 

In the 1979 movie THE WARRIORS, who shot Cyrus? And what gang did he belong to?

 

Luther, the Rogues

 

nice work Underdog...

"Waaariorrrs.....Come out and Plaaaayyyaayyy!!!"

Great late 70's flick...gotta love the DJ callin the street-crime play by play...

 

Lynne Thigpen, a pretty well-known character actress. Died of a brain hemorrhage just a month after her last film appearance, Anger Management.

 

How about a CADDYSHACK trifecta;

What name does Judge Smales give his yacht?

What kind of car is parked in Judge Smales' spot, that he wanted towed?

Baby Ruth candybar got the headlines, but can you name the 3 carbonated beverages that are specifically featured in the movie?

 

that's the same lady who tried to bring down Joe Clark in LEAN ON ME.

 

Know Caddyshack by heart.

1) The Flying WASP

2) Brown Audi - have it towed immediately.

3) Coke is mentioned twice. In the opening scene Danny tells his Dad he had a couple of Cokes. Then when Danny is running the Caddyshack for Lou - Tony says - "I ain't paying no 50 cents for no Coke." 2) FRESCA - how about a Fresca ? 3) Ty mixes bottles of half drank Perrier into 1 bottle for Lacey Underall.

Non-carbonated drinks are a bullshot Rodney asks Tony for, and bottles of Cutty Sark in the Judge's Office.
