The Missing Link(s) Quiz
06. Jan 2014 at 14:18
Print Post  
I had this idea for a forum quiz, sorry if it already exists somewhere else (I couldn't see it), but I think it'll be rather fun to tax your brain over this.

It's a variation of game where you simply have to fill in the missing movies/TV series that link the start to the end.  The links are the boy actors that appeared in the them.  This only really works well with links starring multiple BAs, but that can be limiting, so it's allowed to link adult actors between them too.  But best if you can keep it to just BAs, with minimal AAs.


Here's a simple example :


Sky Kids -aka The Fly Boys (2008)  ->  ???BA???  ->  Poseidon (2006)


So which film links these two?   Note the link is marked BA, as you're looking for a BA link.  AA if it's an adult actor link.



Here's the answer...


Sky Kids starred Jesse James
Jesse James starred in The Amityville Horror
The Amityville Horror starred Jimmy Bennett
Jimmy Bennett starred in Poseidon


So the answer is The Amityville Horror (2005)



Links can be movies or TV series, but best to keep to well known ones.  The first person to post the correct answer can post the next missing link question.  The more links, the more complicated the solution.



OK, so here's another simple one to get started :-


The 'burbs (1989)  ->  ???BA???  ->  Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)


So which film links these two?   Wink

So basically your looking for a "Common Denominator"? Amittyvile is the answer because Jesse James is CD, he appeared in both! Grin

Yep.   It was an easy one, obviously the more BLANK links inbetween and it's more of a challenge.

Plus I'm sure it helps if you've seen the movies, because unfortunately not all movies give proper credit to boy actors, which is a constant irritation to me!

Yeah I know, it's annoying when movie producers fail to credit the actors.  But all the films I've linked have clear credits on IMDB.

You'll kick yourself over this one, it's two very popular films.   Grin

This quiz is too difficult for me but I didn't know Cory Feldman was in 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' (which I thought was the best of the Indiana Jones series). What part did he play?

Actually I think the idea is more like:

"The Burbs" starred Corey Feldman
"Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom" starred Ke Quan.

The answer is "The Goonies" because it starred BOTH Corey Feldman and Ke Quan

My homework shows:
If Tomorrow Comes - starring Jake Thomas
The Blue Butterfly - starring Marc Donato
******

If Tomorrow Comes stars Jake Thomas

Jake Thomas is in AI with Haley Joel Osment

Haley Joel Osment is in Pay it Forward with Marc Donato

Marc Donato is in The Blue Butterfly

*****

I'm not going to be able to come up with a complicated one... so let's take baby steps and use:

Home Improvement --> BA <-- Roseanne

You're absolutely right!   Smiley

But perhaps I didn't explain the idea clearly enough, that's my bad, sorry guys.   Undecided  Just thought it might be fun to tax everyones brains a little.  So I think you got the idea now.

Home Improvement starred Taran Noah Smith

Taran Noah Smith starred in Little Bigfoot 2 with Michael Fishman

Michael Fishman starred in Roseanne


Little Bigfoot 2 is my guess!   Cheesy



Ok, give this a go, just 1 missing "movie" links the boyactors between these two series....


Knightrider (TV series 1982 1 episode)  --> ??? <--  Battlestar Galactica (TV Series 1978)
