The Rick and Bobo actor game is a game my brother and I have been playing since we were in our teens. It's really very simple to play, but really tests your movie knowledge. Whoever starts, picks two actors. The order is important...

So I might say, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher. Now you would have to guess what movie had both those actors in it. If you get it, then you have to start with Carrie Fisher, and figure out another movie she was in, and an actor from it. So you can see the order here is important. If I had said Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford, finding another movie with Harrison Ford would be cake. But with Carrie...

Okay, Carrie Fisher and James Belushi. The answer? The Man with One Red Shoe. That movie also had Tom Hanks, but I'd rather give you James Belushi who has fewer movies, than Tom Hanks. Harder for you to continue. Get it? Give it a shot, post your actors here and we will all try it. Now, remember, this is on the honor system. No looking up the answers on IMDB!

I'll start you off... Harrison Ford and Alfred Molina. Yeah, they were in a movie together...a loooong time ago...but not in a galaxy far, far away.

  1. nice try. molina betrayed Indie! everybody knows this. but he got shot in the ass by midget darts, so that's kharma. try connecting him to Ben "don't call me Ghandi" Kingsley.
  2. LOL. Poor kinglsey. The Oscar curse lives on... Kingsley to...ah ha...Sigourney Weaver! Deal with that!
  3. Shoot, forgot to tell you what movie Molina and Kingsley were in...crap! Well, it wasn't spiderman 2...Damn you! What movie was it?
  4. Got it! Species!!
  5. really? Death and the Maiden? nobody gets blown up. no car chases, just lots and lots of talking. what pushy female made you see it? sigourney did a little known, seldom watched movie with mr. kevine kline. what it be? hmmm?
  6. Forgot about Death and the Maiden, I was talking about the one with Kevin Kline, "Dave". Hmm, gonna be hard to get you on a Kevin Kline movie. How about Kevin and...Whoopi Goldberg! Chew on that for a while.
  7. this is truly a shame. nobody saw Soapdish? i find that hard to believe. whoopi played the head writer, and Kline was the male lead. not a great movie, but it did have a couple noteworthy lines, i.e. the one by gary marshall, "this is a difficult decision, but i get paid 1.2 million dollars a year to make these decisions."
  8. LOL, that is my favorite line from soap dish. Well, also kevin kline's line, when Sally Field breaks into his apartment and yells at him, "what are you doing here!" and he says calmly, "I live here. What are yooooouu doing here?" Great movie. Now, for ten bucks, can you name the disease they gave sally field to remove her from the show?
  9. actually, i think they gave "brain fever" to Elizabeth Shue, who played Fields' daughter. then Fields offered to do a brain transplant to fix er up.
  10. "Sudden speech! The last stages of brain fever! She could blow at any moment!" Right, right. Sally just offered to save her, another great line when kevin said, "I don't think you understand. you will not have a BRAIN when it is complete!" "That's okay, I don't want it! Take the damn thing!" Kevin throws up his hand, "It's gone!" Now of course, we all know brain fever. but what was its medical name, the name Kevin Kline had to try and say?
  11. kaperfleshclagen? something like that. move on will you? are you really unable to remember what movie had both Alan Rickman and John Cleese. i beleive it grossed something like 700 million dollars. you probably saw it.
  12. 700 million? Well, that eliminates Quigley! You know, you're making me look bad on my own freaking blog! I should just delete your posts, or better yet, look this up on imdb. Damn my ethical nature! Rickman and Cleese, Cleese and Rickman...Finkle and Einhorn... Why would you say I PROBABLY saw it? This isn't a movie I would automatically see? Perhaps its a romance? I know Rickman made a few english romances. But what romance could gross that much? ugh! I give up. what is it you vegan muscle head!?
  13. Cleese floated around a bit, and Rickman was an ass. JK Rowling wrote the book. a magical movie. kids loved it, in fact all 5. if you need more hints than that, we will have to find a new game in which to compete.
  14. Heh heh. Even *I* know it now lol!
  15. Hey Jenschka! Welcome to the game! But uh, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to call bullshit here. John Cleese was NOT in the harry potter movies. I know this, because I saw them, and I did not see Cleese! So one of you tell me, what character did Cleese play? Oh crap. "floated around a bit." He was the ghost thingy. Yeesh. okay. you get a point. Let's see you get this one... Cleese and...Eddie Murphy! Give it a shot Jenshcka! Because Rick has NO chance!
  16. you sayin i'm not man enough to sit through Shrek 3? is that it? because i did. it was painful, yes. and more than a bit boring, but by God i did it. but can you name the classic starring Mr Murphy and the large Quaid?
  17. Howdy Rick and Bobo! ;-) Well, I wouldn't have gotten Shrek 3 anyway.. and I have no clue on the next one either. I've probably seen 1 / 100th of the movies you two have seen! IF THAT!!!!! But I'll keep checking in and giving it a shot. If nothing else, you two are entertaining ;-)
  18. LOL, forgot about Shrek 3! I was thinking of a diff movie. Try my movie again... John Cleese, Eddie Murphy, and Jay Mohr. Now for yours...LOL oh my god!! The movie you gave me was the movie I was giving you! The Adventures of Pluto Nash! Okay, let's give Jenschka a shot. Jenschka, give us any two actors that were in one of your favorite movies, and we will try and guess it!
  19. Okay.. how about... Guy Pearce and Terence Stamp!
  20. wow, finally, i have met the one person who saw Priscilla, Queen of the desert. i wasn't sure you were out there. are you aware of the epic starring terence stamp and mandy patinkin? that is the real question.
  21. lol! well, *i'm* not aware of it.. but i'm sure BOBO is!
  22. Bobo knows! Alien Nation! Classic film making. So, okay Jenschka, this one is for you. Many Patinkin and Cary Elwes.
  23. Aaaaaaaas Yoooooooou Wiiiiiiiish! You are silly Bobo! Everyone knows that! So... now I need to think of another movie Cary Elwes was in... hmmm how about Cary and Nicole Kidman?!
  24. Hmmm. Tough one, you know, because kidman sucks. So let me think through all the trash I've had to sit through with Kidman in it to see if Cary was in there somewhere... ... ...oh, wait, I think Elwes was in...yeah, Days of Thunder! Great movie. Okay, see if anyone can get this one, Kidman and George Clooney.
  25. Aw crud. I KNOW this one.. even though I didn't see it.. but i can't think of the NAME of it! Ummm... it is one word long, and about 3 or 4 syllables though, right? Unrelenting? No.. The poster shows both of them running though, no?? LOL! I'm probably making a fool of myself.. heck. I don't know. What is it Rick?
  26. the peacemaker. please don't make me say it again. clooney's attempt to be an action star, but kidman killed that dream. how bout the clooney and the governator?
  27. Oh, you'll smoke a turn in hell for asking me to remember that horrible Batman sequel! So you end on the Shwartz, huh? Okay, this one is for Jenschka. What film were Shwartzenegger and The Rock in? Yes, they were in a movie together...although briefly. Good luck!
  28. Are you crazy?! I can't even find the movie they did together on IMDb!
  29. The RUNDOWN?!?! Bobo!!!! Why on earth would you think I might POSSIBLY know that??! LOL! Okay, so I cheated.. So, pick another set of actors for your brother.. I'm hopeless!
  30. Well, like my drill instructor used to say, "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying." Arnold just walked past the Rock for like 3 seconds, that was the extent of his presence in the movie. Great movie though. Okay, I'll give this one to my brother, but if you think of any two actors from a movie you really liked, pop em in here and I'll see if I can guess. Now for Rick, The Rock and James Woods. No way you get this one!
  31. The Rock played a gay bodyguard. James Woods played a sleezebag music producer. John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Danny DeVito, Cedric the Entertainer, Delroy, and even the head Soprano himself. Hmmm, i have no idea. What could it be? No wait, i got it. It's either Star Wars, or Be Cool. Yeah, pretty sure it's one of those two.
  32. Damn, James woods was only in that for 20 seconds, just long enough to say F---. Okay smart ass. Try this one on for size. James Woods and...LL Cool J! Deal with that!
  33. really? that the best you got? The Hard Way? with little Mickey Fox? your simple mind is showing. try Cool J to Samuel Jackson.
  34. Please, I've practically memorized Deep Blue Sea. But since you have given me Samuel Jackson, try this one. Sammy and...Ray Liota.
  35. why do you do this to yourself? it has to get embarrassing at some point. don't you have any pride? well if i must, i must. sammy was in Goodfellas with Ray. it was a bit part, and i'm not sure it was even credited, but there you go. pleae put forth some effort next time, hmmm? how bout we move on. gimmee a movie with DeNiro and Marlon "i coulda been a contender" Brando.
  36. Ugh... the heist? No, the Score! With Edward Norton, he always makes good stuff...except Death to Smoochy of course, and the 25th hour, actually the Score wasn't that good either. But I digress. How about Marlon to Val "Don't call me Iceman" Kilmer (to use your turn of phrase).
  37. You bring up Island of Dr Moreau? How dare you! i thought there was an unspoken rule in society against that sort of thing. But if that's the best you can do then so be it. Are you aware that the Kilmer did a movie with James Carrey? What could it be?
  38. Wow. Kilmer and Carey. You'll have to give me a minute on this one... ... ...what the hell is Val Kilmer doing in a Jim Carey movie? ... ... ... damn, no way are you gonna get me on these two big stars. It had to be bit parts. Has to be an old movie. But was it Val's or Carey's? oooohhhhh. "Has anyone ever told you that you have a SERIOUS impulse control problem!" I can't believe you almost got me on a batman movie! Now you can choke on Carey and Terrance Stamp!
  39. impressive. you saw "Yes Man" too? i didn't think you went in for high brow comedies. If you saw that, you must have seen Stamp's performance in another, slighly better comedy with the Rock. care to take a guess?
  40. Well done. Did you know the Big Foot lounge where they hung out is about half a block from Giamellas, right by our old house? As for your line, if I didn't get that one, it would be total "Chaos". I'm not sure how to feel about Get Smart. Had its moments I guess. So we are back to the Rock? Okay, The Rock and Michael Clarke Duncan.
  41. What is it with you and Crappy movies? Don't argue, you can't win, and you know the Scorpion King was crap. What was Duncan thinking? when you win an oscar you should be more choosey about your roles. or maybe he lost a bet. on to the obscure, in keeping with your crappy theme, Duncan and Paul "I shoulda never left Law & Order" Sorvino. That's tough one. i know. Mr. Courtney Cox was in it too, if that helps your process.
  42. Crikey. Michael Clarke Duncan, Paul Sorvino, and David Arquette? Well, there haven't been that many...oh, wait a minute. There was a terrible movie with David Arquette where he wanted to be a wrestler. And I think he went to find an old, great wrestler who I think was played by Paul Sorvino. I don't remember Duncan, but he would fit into a wrestling movie. Okay, that's my pick. But, I don't remember the name. But you'll let your big brother slide on that tiny detail, yes?
  43. You and i are no longer in the same ballpark. we're not in the same league, or even in the same sport! See Spot Run is the movie you're looking for. it had a couple redeeming scenes in it, like when Arquette is bouncing around inside a pet store, but mostly it was bad. but that does not excuse your failure, i win. maybe i give you another chance. The elder Sutherland, and Rutger Hauer.
  44. Lol, yeah, I remember that scene in the pet store, it was hilarious! But that was a tough one. Only someone with your freakish memory could have gotten that. Speaking of funny scenes, there was one with Pee-Wee herman in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I believe that movie also had...Donald Sutherland and Rutger Hauer! Now, I shall win my point back with Hauer and Josh Hartnet!
  45. I defy you. Hartnett did nothing with Hauer. the universe must have rules after all.
  46. We are even. Unless you can claim that you never saw...Sin City? You remember Rutger of course, who played the psycho bishop. But how about young hit man, who appeared in the first and final scenes? That be Josh Hartnet. Now, we be even. You start the next round, if you still have the stomach for it. Seacrest, out.
  47. Fine. Take it! hows about Michael "why did i do Jaws 4" Caine, and Stallone. what you got?
  48. LOL, please. Get Carter. So, you give me Stallone? That's yo' ass! Stallone and...Jo Beth Williams. Ha!
  49. some movies are bad on so many levels that you just never quite forget them, no matter how hard you try. such is the case with "stop or my mom will shoot". at some point in the chain from script to release, somebody must have noticed this movie was a horrid abomination of celluloid, i guess he just didn't have the cajones to stop it. are you aware of another gem from Stallone which also included the great Jack Palance of one-armed-push-up fame?
  50. "Tango and Cash." A TNT classic. How about, Palance and Jon Lovitz!
  51. a TNT "new" classic Bobo. Lovitz was in the second City Slickers with Palance. What of Lovitz and Samuel L Jackson? they teamed up at one point in time.By the by, you can't use the six million dollar man theme song on your website. even i might sue you for that!
  52. I can and I will! I want to use background music for that flash, but don't know what to use. Six million dollar man is hinted to in the book, so I thought that worked. What would you suggest?
