Quiz: Name that movie

[Pifanjr]

Shin Godzilla?

It's not a Godzilla movie.

I'll add another hint tomorrow if no one has gotten it by then.

 

[Pifanjr]

Apparently GIFs do work. MP4s don't.

Clash of the Titans (2010)?

 

[Pifanjr]

Clash of the Titans (2010)?

Yes! I'm not sure why I thought of it, I don't remember any of the plot. Perhaps it's because I saw it in cinema, so it left at least somewhat of an impression.

It was many years ago when I saw that movie, and the only thing that really stuck in my brain was that scorpion battle for some reason. That godzilla-like monster doesn't even ring a bell. I think there was a remake of that movie around 2018 or 2019, but I never watched that one.

I'll try to find a movie tonight or tomorrow (we're supposed to get snow/rain here for the next 2 days), and I'll make sure I'm in full screen so as not to reveal the title.

 

[mainer]

Okay, here's one from 2007, a bit off-the-wall, a bit weird maybe.

 

[mainer]

You win! Your turn.

 

[Lutfij]

^ That looks like your enemy

Is it The Cat Returns from Studio Ghibli?

 

[Pifanjr]

Is it The Cat Returns from Studio Ghibli?

It is not, it's from Kiki's Delivery Service.

 

[FreezerBurn]

Rat Race?

 

[Pifanjr]

Rat Race?

You are correct! A movie I apparently own on DVD.

 

[FreezerBurn]

For some weird reason I just remember that running scene at the end. That and Jon Luvits driving Hitler's old car. This one should be easy.

 

[mainer]

That's got to be Ladyhawke. I remember loving that movie years ago, even if it was a bit corny.

Bingo

Bingo

Might be a couple of days, but I'll get something up soon.

 

[mainer]

Sorry it took so long my friends, I'll start off with the following shot, I'll add more later it none of you recognize it. It's a movie most folks here have probably heard about, if not watched (or tried too).

 

[Zloth]

One of the Tomb Raider movies? She reminds me of one of Lara's opponents in Tomb Raider: Underworld.

 

[mainer]

It's not any of the Tomb Raider movies. However, it could be considered to be in a certain category of movies that Tomb Raider is also in.

 

[Frindis]

Any last hint or shall we have the grand reveal @mainer?

 

[FreezerBurn]

The worst part is I've seen that movie, but I can't remember the title.

 

[mainer]

The movie was loosely (very loosely) based on a PC game. Here's a couple more shots that may ring a bell.

 

[FreezerBurn]

Dungeon Siege

 

[mainer]

@FreezerBurn - Close enough. The actual movie title is: In the Name of the King, a Dungeon Siege Tale, staring Jason Stratham. Loosely based on a really great game from 2002, Dungeon Siege. I thought it was a great ARPG that had absolutely no load screens and your party could travel seamlessly from outdoor maps to indoor, and vice versa.

Unfortunately, the movie didn't even come close. I've tried to watch it several times over the years, but either fell asleep, or turned it off. Directed by our favorite games-to-movies director: Uwe Boll. If there's a 10 worst list of games-to-movies movies somewhere, this one is surely a candidate.

 

[Zloth]

I think any 'bottom 10' list would need to put a 'one entry per director' limit in or Uwe movies would dominate the list. OH! Look at who's in that film! Burt Reynolds? John Rhys-Davis!?
