Quiz: Name that movie

[FreezerBurn]

It's a great movie!

 

[Zloth]

It is a pretty good one and was shown on TV often. Wait, how many people know the answer but aren't answering??

 

[Brian Boru]

Wait, how many people know the answer but aren't answering?

Oh c'mon, that's hardly going on, now is it?

I love Peter MacNicol from his Ally McBeal, Numbers & 24 roles, great actor.

In my defense I did try to just let it go, the movie is DragonSlayer... featuring Emperor Palpatine .

Winner, winner. Chicken, dinner!!!

Makes me wonder if this choice dated some of us too much. Certainly a classic to many, kids today likely haven't enjoyed this genre as many of us did.

featuring Emperor Palpatine .

Wait, what???

 

[FreezerBurn]

Wait, what???

Not a Giant role, but Ian McDiarmid played Brother Jocopus.

 

[FreezerBurn]

Well, we shall continue the dated movies then.

I have not seen the movie, but something tells me the name might be Bird(like)? I'm not thinking of the Hitchcock movie, I just know that THIS movie has a short title. If I am mistaken, I will bury myself underground without food and water for a decade. I will be moderating though, you need some fun. Also, I have watched a lot of David Blaine videos.

Great choice!

 

[FreezerBurn]

Anyone? Another hint?

 

[COLGeek]

Half of the title is in the image!

 

[FreezerBurn]

Now the other half of the title.

 

[Zloth]

Well, the first one has a hawk, the second has a girl.... Hawk Girl?

 

[Brian Boru]

Hawk Girl

I suspect you need the Girl to be a Lady—who would of course come first.

 

[Zloth]

Lady Bird? That doesn't look like a documentary about a President Johnson's wife. (checks IMDB)

Oh! Ladyhawke? Huh, I don't remember that movie at all.

 

[FreezerBurn]

Bingo finally!

 

[Zloth]

OK, I'm a little worried this one may be too hard. It's a South Korean movie from about ten years ago. I've been feeling a need to re-watch it since Imogen's article.

 

[Frindis]

Ahh, the war where they had to reuse the arrows. Forgot the name of the movie though.

You almost said it!!

 

[Frindis]

You almost said it!!

Broken arrow?

 

[Zloth]

I should learn Wordl's code some day... One word is wrong, the other word should be plural. You also need a couple of small words between the two.

 

[Frindis]

The reign of arrows? I have no idea😅

 

[Pifanjr]

War of the Arrows?

 

[Zloth]

@Pifanjr got it! A good movie if you don't mind subtitles. Some fun arrow stuff, too, like that extender to let the main character shoot a half arrow. (He hits a guy running perpendicular to him right in the ankle with that. Eat your heart out, Hawkeye!)
