Did this happen in that movie...
"A scarecrow or strawman calls a dwarf "shorty" and a guy says that to do so drives him f***ing mental so he tears the strawman to bits" Tried to youtube it (bit before my time). |
|
By:
from what i remember the beginning of the film is very much like wizard of oz..hence the strawman
|
|
By:
But the OP was referring to a specific scene which I don't think was in Alice doesn't live here anymore. According to imdb there is a heads-up to Alice in Wonderland - but I'm not sure if this is the correct flick
|
|
By:
That was the first one I thought of but it didn't seem to add up with the totality of the clues imo.
|

By:
After all that and not even the same film ya doopy cants
|
|
By:
well i dunno whether im right duchy but this was my guess...journeyman will fill us in
|
|
By:
Fair enough redbag - we'll wait to see what journeyman has to say (perhaps the scene was in one of those DVD extras that they found years later) ;)

Clue 1 - the film has a strong connection to something widely reported that happened this week.
???????????? Clue 2 - it has the name of a 1980s popstar in the title. Check Clue 3 - It has a connection with Sci fi / Outer space ??????????? Clue 4 - The film title quite obviously changes a number for something intangible ????????????????? Clue 5 - The film's most famous scene (aside from the previously mentioned murderous dwarf) involves levitation and cheap jewellery ??????????????? Clue 6 - It has a girl's name in the title Check Clue 7 - The film features dance sequences and weaponary that neither stabs or shoots ?????????????? Clue 8 its a very well known film Check Clue 9 it has a great cast Check Clue 10 its directed by one of the top directors on earth Check Clue 11 its got a great soundtrack Check Clue 12 In one scene a scarecrow or strawman calls a dwarf "shorty" and a guy says that to do so drives him f***ing mental so he tears the strawman to bits ???????????? clue 13 starts with letter A, ends with E and has more than four words in it Check Clue 14 No number in the title Clue 15 Features one of the most famous flying sequences in the history of film but your parents probably haven't seen it |

Here's the opening scene on youtube: http://tinyurl.com/ydb6qzh
No such movie as outlined above but I'd say the OP is referring to some B movie made in the 70's/80's that was shown on Zone Horror a few years ago. |

Clue 2 - it has the name of a 1980s popstar in the title.
Check Alice Cooper's biggest hit was in 1972 called School's Out and he was a rock singer. No way would I have him down as an '80s popstar'. |

By:
Think red may be thinking of a diff film.
'Think about why the film has become as well known as it has recently... that is where there is a connection with outer space' Recently became well-known? |
|
By:
The original poster may be thinking of a Terry Gilliam or Monty Python related film. I thought it might be Time Bandit.

By:
I think I was probably closer with American Pie The Naked Mile. At least that had a dwarf kicking the crap out of someone! :)

Alice doesn't live here anymorE do I get any money? Why can I not be correct? |
|
By:
Sounded like it could have been something from a director like Werner Herzog.

...Guybrush, Brodie and everyone who actually read the clues
'Alice doesn't live here anymore' is a class film with a great director, soundtrack and more but it's NOT the correct answer. Sorry redbag (but thanks for your contributions anyway. Bizarrely your clues fitted in very well until the Oscar one) |

What's the Oscar clue?

By:
Up until yesterday evening I'd have bet hard cash that Redbag had the right film.
So I let his clues ride on that basis. Now I think a couple need slightly adjusted, which should be informative in itself. Here we go with the alterations AND clue 17. ------------------------------------------------------- Okay it's really clue 15. What a mess. Let's tidy it up. Clue 1 - the film has a strong connection to something widely reported that happened this week. Clue 2 - it has the name of a 1980s popstar in the title. Clue 3 - It has a connection with Sci fi / Outer space Clue 4 - The film title quite obviously changes a number for something intangible Clue 5 - The film's most famous scene (aside from the previously mentioned murderous dwarf) involves levitation and cheap jewellery Clue 6 - It has a girl's name in the title REDBAG's FIRST CLUE. 100% ACCURATE Clue 7 - The film features dance sequences and weaponary that neither stabs or shoots Clue 8 - Specific scenes are extremely well known, although the full film was successful when it came out ALTERED VERSION OF REDBAG'S SECOND CLUE Clue 9 - it has a great cast REDBAG's THIRD CLUE. 100% ACCURATE Clue 10 - Its director and star are popular and prolific and its star is very well known ALTERED VERSION OF REDBAG'S FOURTH CLUE Clue 11 - Its got a great soundtrack REDBAG's FIFTH CLUE. 100% ACCURATE Clue 12 In one scene a scarecrow or strawman calls a dwarf "shorty" and a guy says that to do so drives him f***ing mental so he tears the strawman to bits clue 13 - starts with letter A, ends with E and has more than four words in it Clue 14 - No number in the title Clue 15 - Features one of the most famous flying sequences in the history of film but your parents probably haven't seen it Clue 16 - Something in the film is SILVER when it should be very obviously more valuable ------------------------------------- Game on, boys and girls One last thing. Please stop suggesting this is a wind-up or a non existent film. If it had been a wind-up I'd have admitted it on Friday. This is a real movie, all the clues are fair and you should be able to work it out. p.s. It's december, get your advent calendars out. (No that's not a clue) |

I'll tell you what I'll do.
Seeing as it's Blackjacking's birthday, I will let him choose a year. I will then answer whetehr the film was made earlier or later than that year. Obviously if hits the bullseye he chooses the exact year I'll be forced to admit it. Conditions - he must choose a year within the next ten minutes and NOBODY must suggest a year to him |
