Greg Howley, creator and presenter of the Game Geek Challenge on the BostonGeek Podcast, has a great series (six so far) of quizzes where he asks you to guess the movie based on the quote. Each quiz has ten quotes.
In homage, and because I was discussing it recently with Greg, I would like to present my own version of the Movie Quiz. It’s tailored to make it both easier AND harder. This particular quiz focuses solely on Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. Can you name the film and the character Arnold played?
Here goes:
1- “Crom laughs at your Four Winds. He laughs from his mountain.”
2- “You’re a funny man, Sully. That’s why I’m going to kill you last.”
3- “If it bleeds, we can kill it.”
4- “You should not drink and bake!”
5- “Killian! Here’s you’re SubZero… Now, Plain Zero!”
6- “Howdy, stranger. If things have gone wrong, I’m talking to myself and you have a wet towel wrapped around your head.”
7- “It’s NOT a TUMOR!”
8- “You want to be a farmer? Here’s a couple of ‘acres’!”
9- “Can you hurry up? My horse is getting tired.”
10- “Surprise, I am your new cell mate. And I’m here to make your life a living hell. Prepare for a bitter harvest. Winter has come at last!”
There you go. All Arnold movies. Name the character, name the movie.
1. Conan the Barbarian – Conan
2. Commando – Matrix
3. Predator – Dutch
4. Raw Deal – Kaminsky
5. The Running Man – Ben Richards
6. Total Recall – Doug Quaid
7. Kindergarten Cop – John Kimble
8. Last Action Hero – Jack Slater
9. True Lies – Harry Tasker
10. Batman and Robin – Mr. Freeze
Your hard-on for Schwarzenegger is really disturbing, you know that?
Speaking of which, have you recreated your Governator love-shrine in the new place yet?
No, it was disassembled to make room for an addition to the Rutger Hauer Temple
Actually, that was targeted at Carl, but your man-love for Hauer is almost equally frightening.
(as Dave secretly makes a note to hide his embarassing pile of Wesley Snipes videos when he gets home)
Yeah, like you are one to talk.
Crossworlds = Greatest scifi movie ever made. Second greatest: Split Second
Come off it. Even you will acknowledge the mastery of Demolition Man.
Demolition Man was freaky in that it predicted Arnold as president long before he was into politics.
Now Remy, did you go look those up on the intarwebs? Not much of a challenge if you did.
I will admit to having to go check my answer on the one for Raw Deal and Last Action Hero, the rest I knew without looking up.
Which is sad.
And yes Dave, Demolition Man is definitely a fantastic movie. Remember what Edgar Friendly said:
“You see, according to Cocteau’s plan I’m the enemy, ’cause I like to think; I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder – “Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?” I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green jello all over my body reading playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I’ve SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing “I’m an Oscar Meyer Wiener”. “
I’m gonna have to watch that some time this weekend.
Dude, Demolition Man WAS great, but I think I prefer the Arnold to the Stallone. And some of the lesser-known Arnold movies really rocked. Running Man, Raw Deal, Red Heat….
Red Heat rocked.
