movie trivia

[Bertha Venation]

Answer correctly, then post a new question.

What was Kevin Costner's first film role? Give movie name and character name.

[GOPisEvil]

1. Oh, oh, oh...

...wasn't he "Alex" in The Big Chill? Didn't he play the corpse? :D

Actually, he had a small role in Night Shift (1982).

[Bertha Venation]

2. well done!

You're next.

[GOPisEvil]

6. Who was almost cast as Ilsa in "Casablanca" instead of Ingrid Bergman?

:-)

On edit - there are two acceptable answers. One woman was out because her studio would not release her, the other was announced as portraying Ilsa by Warner Bros., but was replaced when they negotiated to borrow Ingrid Bergman from MGM.

[KansDem]

8. Lucy Ball?

with Ronald Reagan as "Rick?"

[GOPisEvil]

9. Bzzt! Incorrecto.

But you are correct that The Gipper had been announced by Warner Bros. as portraying Rick, however, the producer almost certainly wanted Bogart after seeing him in The Maltese Falcon.

[KansDem]

13. Ronald Reagan as "Rick"

"Well, Sam, you played it for her, you can play it for me, 'cause, after all, I PAID FOR THIS MICROPHONE!!!"

[GOPisEvil]

18. Heh..."There you go again." fits so many parts of the movie, too.

;-)

[Faygo Kid]

14. Ann Sheridan

[GOPisEvil]

16. Ding, ding, ding! We have a winnah!

Ann Sheridan was announced by Warner Bros. as protraying Ilsa, but was replaced by Ingrid Berman. The producer's first choice was Hedy Lamarr, whom MGM would not release from contract.

[KansDem]

19. No fair!! no fair!!

faygokid looked on the Internet. I just KNOW it!

[GOPisEvil]

20. I dunno...he knew Sydney Greenstreet's first movie.

Or at least he asked that question. But, we're all on the honor system here. :7

[Faygo Kid]

23. No, he did NOT!

Big movie fan. So there.

[KansDem]

26. OK...OK...Mr. "Big Movie Fan..." Here's a movie trivia question...

In what early movie of his did Clint Eastwood play a fighter pilot, and why was it almost impossible to recognize him? Hint: it was an uncredited role. }( hee, hee, hee...

[Faygo Kid]

27. I dunno, and I don't look them up.

Better at the really old movies, I guess. How about, Strategic Air Command, with Jimmy Stewart? (Told you I was guessing).

[KansDem]

35. That was a good movie...

But the Clint Eastwood question was in reference to his 4th movie "Tarantula." Toward the end of the movie, his squadron is called in to destroy the big spider. He only has a line or two, but unless you know its him, it's difficult to identify him since he's wearing a oxygen mask and helmet. You can recognize his voice, though.

PS I know you weren't using the internet :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

28. I actually know the answer to this. But, I did look it up to confirm.

I'll be quiet though. O8)

OK - I'll say it. Tarantula
