Movie Trivia Thread

Well, we did see Ralphie's mom topless in "Slap Shot," so there could have been some crossover audience appeal.

 

For the Blazing Saddles question, I do know that Gig Young was hired for the role of the Waco Kid and actually filmed some scenes before he was replaced. Is that the answer you're looking for?

 

Brooke Shields.


It's probably too easy to ask who was originally cast as Marty McFly, but who lost her role as Jennifer in Back to The Future after he was fired because she was too tall to play opposite Michael J. Fox?

 

Proof I've seen Major League about 25,000 too many times, a trio of 3 tricky ones:
1. What's the last name of the only player seen get red-tagged in spring training?

2. When Lou Brown brings in Vaughn to talk about his eyesight, he motions to a picture on the wall and says "Take Ryan, for example..." Who is actually in the picture?

3. Same scene as No. 2... Brown writes four letters on the notepad. What are they? (Bonus points if they're in the correct order)

 

Was it Seaver?

 

Good guess, but no.

 

Journalist called it. Johnny Carson. He turned it down.

 

1 is Larson, correct?

 

1. I think it was Gentry

2. That photo looked like Koufax to me.

3. Have no idea. I'd have to look at the movie again to see.

 

In "The Godfather" series, which actor used his real name as his character's name?

 

Well done. And honestly, I have no idea why I remembered No. 3. Probably for instances such as this.
