It's a bit of fun . . . until you see the hi-scores
So far I've managed a grand total of 73 points :o
Filmquiz - Aaaargh! - Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man - 11-06-2007
Um, I managed 4.
Got 4 in a row, then thrice kaput. It must be rigged. :mad:

You can pass - leave it blank then submit - it gives you the answer, too.
Watch out though - third pass and they kick your arse out with a stiff admonishment
Those scores in excess of 1000 must be people now under heavy sedation . . . or Government officials . . .

...or people who desperately need to get a life.

53 with one life remaining and the site bombed out.
f&^%.
I need to get a life - or go for a run.
Filmquiz - Aaaargh! - Sweder - 11-06-2007
Site crashed on me too - made 111 with one life left and KABOOM.
I went to the gym and watched ladies in lycra working up a sweat - forgot all about the sodding quiz in no time
Filmquiz - Aaaargh! - El Gordo - 11-06-2007
I got 1 (one) correct before losing my three lives.

Andy, you can join my club. Those other know-it-alls can form their own.

Name the only actor to have played 3 different fictional super heros on either TV or screen.

Seafront Plodder Wrote:Name the only actor to have played 3 different fictional heros on either TV or screen.That chappie who played Poirot - David Suchet.
He's played - Poirot (a number of times), Sherlock Holmes (and Dr Watson), Clopin Trouillefou in the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Van Helsing in the 2006 TV version of Dracula, he was the voice of Geppetto in the 2002 version of Pinocchio (maybe not the hero there), and he was the voice of The Pheonix in the Pheonix and The carpet (definitely the hero there). He played Aaron in Moses - is that fictional? Contraversial . . . and was Aaron a hero? Best leave that one out.
He also recently played Robert Maxwell.
Cap'n Bob was of course not fictional, though much of his life was. He was certainly not a hero
Filmquiz - Aaaargh! - Sweder - 10-07-2007
Hmmm . . . but could it in fact be every Englishman's favorite 'love-to-hate-actor, Mel Gibson? He's clocked up a few fictional heros along the way . . .
'Mad' Max Rockatansky - the Mad Max franchise
'Rocky' the heroic Rooster - Chicken Run
Martin Riggs - the Lethal Weapon franchise
Hamlet - Hamlet (1990)
William Wallace - Braveheart
OK Wallace is historical but not fictional.
Most of Gibson's bloody film was though :mad:
Filmquiz - Aaaargh! - Sweder - 10-07-2007
Naah, it has to be Sean Connery.
Blimey' he's bagged the lot in his time:
James Bond
Robin Hood
King Richard
Macbeth
King Arthur
Allan Quatermain (League of . . . )
Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez (Highlander)
King Agamemnon (Time Bandits)
Mulay Achmed Mohammed el-Raisuli the Magnificent
Indiana Jones's Dad
Zed (Zardoz)
Jim Malone (Untouchables)
Yep, Sean's the daddy.

Nah, ya waaay off.
read my post again, muppet. :o
Filmquiz - Aaaargh! - Sweder - 10-07-2007
Ah . . . you've added 'Super' . . .
different kettle of fish old boy

SP editing his post has made for a strange-looking thread. It's now on record that Sweder regards Poirot and Gepetto as superheroes.
I'm afraid I attempted to cheat, as I have no chance of working out the right answer. There's an astonishingly comprehensive list of comic book actors on Wikipedia (who'd have thought that comic books would be so geekily documented on the web?).
However, that doesn't appear to reveal the answer, unless SP was thinking of the guy who played Superman, Superboy and Bizarro in Smallville - hopefully I'm not giving too much away there.
Filmquiz - Aaaargh! - Seafront Plodder - 11-07-2007
No I'm not MD, but the person I am looking for has played Superman...and that is the role for which he's least known.
And ok, "comic book heros" does describe it better.

Easy...
But the filmquiz: My record is 4 correct (one time I had -3
)My senior's record is 4
My boss' record is 2
Sweder, you are a liar. I do not believe that you managed 73
