1: It's Alien! Look at it =]
8: Dunno. It's not Jaws
9: Reservior Dogs (Look at the colours)
19: The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker both work (they've both got Jaws in, see?) Happy Gilmore doesn't work, sadly.

Piranha was a total guess for me. That was such a crap clue.
Wasnt even close to getting Reservoir Dogs.
Dont get the Terminator one. Did he get steamrolled at one point?
Posted by Grim..., around 4th November 2006:
 
He got run over by a truck.
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around 4th November 2006:
 
Hmm. I clearly havent seen the first Terminator in a very long time.
Posted by Grim..., around 4th November 2006:
 
The truck driver got out to look for him, and Arnie said his 'get out' line.
After a chase, Reese blew the truck up with his home-made dynamite, and only the metal terminator skeleton was left (which then chased Sarah around the factory).
It was right near the end.

Really? I must watch that film again, none of that rings any bells.
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around 4th November 2006:
 
Actually, talking about films, and you being an Alien expert; did the aliens in the Alien series develop their own technology? Is there a planet where there are freaky, screamy aliens dribbling on lab equipment in white coats?

There, that should do it.

Grim... not to worry, I've been told that they didnt have any technology.
Posted by Clara, around 4th November 2006:
 
I think it was misleading making No. 1 a man. Didn't the alien come out of Sigourney Weaver?
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around 4th November 2006:
 
No. It came out of a fella and did a funny dance across the bar, remember?

IIRC, it came out of Sigourney Weaver at the end of Alien 3, but she had more problems than that, such as being chased by that cop from Terminator 1 and falling headfirst into some Volcano. A bit like Joe actually, although Tom Hanks sucks.
Posted by Grim..., 7th November 2006:
 
One came out of her in Alien: Resurrection, too.

Posted by Clara, 7th November 2006:
 
I think this is the only time I have ever agreed with you, Vic : Tom Hanks does indeed SUCK
Posted by WarHead, 7th November 2006:
 
That's because he's getting too BIG for his boots.
Posted by Brock, around 9th November 2006:
 
Yeah, he needs to Castaway his ego.
Posted by Grim..., around 9th November 2006:
 
Perhaps he could Splash out on some new boots.
Posted by Alfie_DUPE1, around 9th November 2006:
 
He'd need a Woody first
Posted by Sul_DUPE1, around 9th November 2006:
 
I think you should all lay off Tom. He's got AIDS!

And by lay off I don't mean sack him.

And by sack him I dont mean sleep with him.

Boke. I'd rather ... never mind.
