Movie Star Word Game

[Jason Nelson]

Donald Sutherland
was in
Backdraft
with
Scott Glenn

[Ryyme]

Scott Glen was in

THE PLAYER

with Fred Ward

[Jason Nelson]

Fred Ward
was the star of
Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins
with
Wilford Brimley

[Vattnisse]

Wilford Brimley
was in
Cocoon
with a bunch of geezers, plus
Steve Guttenberg

[Cuchulainn]

Steve Guttenberg
was in
Three Men and a Baby
with
Tom Selleck

[Jason Nelson]

Tom Selleck was supposed to be Indiana Jones but bailed out because of his contract to do Magnum, P.I.
Instead, he was in such fine films as
Lassiter
with
Bob Hoskins

[Vattnisse]

Bob Hoskins
played Nikita Khrushchev (seriously, he did) in
World War II epic Enemy At The Gates
with
the über-cool Ed Harris

Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones??? I'm sure that would have turned out great...

[Cuchulainn]

Ed Harris
was in
A Beautiful Mind
with
Paul Bettany

[Charles Scholz]

Paul Bettany
was in
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
with
Russell Crowe

One of the few Russell Crowe movies that are actually good.

[Jason Nelson]

Russell Crowe
was in
Virtuosity
with
Traci Lords

Spoiler:

This might open up a whole new genre of movie star "connections"!

[Charles Scholz]

Traci Lords
was in
Princess of Mars
with
Antonio Sabato Jr.

I didn't realize this was made into a movie until I looked up Traci. Does anyone know anything about it?

[Jason Nelson]

Antonio Sabato Jr.
was in
Earth 2
with
Clancy Brown

P.S. The IMDB review of Princess of Mars claims it is unwatchable dreck.

[Charles Scholz]

Clany Brown
was in
Highlander
with
Sean Connery

Thanks for the info.

[Jason Nelson]

Sean Connery's first American starring role
was in Disney's
Darby O'Gill and the Little People
with
Albert Sharpe

[Charles Scholz]

Albert Sharpe
was in
Brigadoon
with
Barry Jones

[Cuchulainn]

What? No Zardoz? LOL

[Jason Nelson]

Barry Jones
was in
Prince Valiant
with
Robert Wagner, who played the titular prince

Who knew?

Spoiler:

Barry Jones was also apparently in a movie called The Gay Adventure, which probably meant something different in 1936...

[Charles Scholz]

Robert Wagner
was in
Stars and Strips Forever & Titanic (1953)
with
Clifton Webb

This is the story of John Philip Sousa, the composer of Stars and Stripes Forever. If you haven't already seen it, it is worth the time.

[Jason Nelson]

Clifton Webb
was in the amusingly named
Satan Never Sleeps
with
France Nuyen

[Ryyme]

France Nuyen
was in
THE JOY LUCK CLUB
with Lisa Lu

[Jason Nelson]

Lisa Lu
was in
I Love Trouble
with
Nora Dunn

[Charles Scholz]

Nora Dunn
was in
The Darwin Awards
with
Adam Savage

A funny movie. From the Website Darwin Awards. The individual stories are funny, but the plot that combines them is a little lame. Worth the rent.

[Jason Nelson]

Adam Savage
was a model maker for ILM on
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
which starred the unforgettable voice work and motion capture stylings of
Ahmed Best

[Charles Scholz]

Come on. Adam was in one other movie and one TV show. You couldn't used one of them?

Ahmed Best
was in
There's a Sucker Born Every Minute
with
Pat Towne

[Jason Nelson]

And miss a chance to throw out some Jar-Jar love? No way!

Pat Towne
was on an episode of
Blossom
with
Mayim Bialik

[Charles Scholz]

Mayim Bialik
was in
Beaches
with Bette Midler

[Jason Nelson]

Bette Midler
was in the surprisingly enjoyable remake of
The Stepford Wives
with
Christopher Walken

[Vattnisse]

Christopher Walken
was in
Last Man Standing
with
Bruce Willis

[Jason Nelson]

Bruce Willis
was in
Die Hard
with
Alan Rickman

Hey, sometimes the obvious ones are obvious for a reason - gotta respect the classics!

[Vattnisse]

Alan Rickman
exclaimed "By Grabthar's Hammer, what a savings!" in
Galaxy Quest
with
Sigourney Weaver

Which is why you didn't bring up Die Hard II, right? ;D

[Kedric the Arrogant]

Sigourney Weaver
was in the Classic
Alien
with
Yaphet Koto

[Jason Nelson]

Or III.

Or IV.

BTW, GalaxyQuest rules.

[Jason Nelson]

Yaphet Kotto
was in the underrated
Brubaker
with
Robert Redford

[Vattnisse]

Robert Redford
was in
the excellent Three Days Of The Condor
with
the excellent Max von Sydow

The problem with the Die Hard movies is that I end up rooting for the bad guys. I thought the third one was OK. The second and fourth installment, though they each have their moments, are pretty much useless.

[Jason Nelson]

Max von Sydow
was deliciously evil in
Flash Gordon
with
Richard O'Brien

Best. Evil. Wedding. Vows. EVER!

Spoiler:

Zogi, the High Priest: Do you, Ming the Merciless, Ruler of the Universe, take this Earthling Dale Arden, to be your Empress of the Hour?
The Emperor Ming: Of the hour, yes.
Zogi, the High Priest: Do you promise to use her as you will?
The Emperor Ming: Certainly!
Zogi, the High Priest: Not to blast her into space?
[Ming glares at Zogi]
Zogi, the High Priest: Uh, until such time as you grow weary of her.
The Emperor Ming: I do.
Dale Arden: I do NOT!

[Cuchulainn]

Richard O'Brien
was, of course, the awesomely evil Riff-Raff in
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
with
Susan (the slut, Janet Weiss) Sarandon

Spoiler:

LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIIIINNNNN!!!

[Vattnisse]

Susan Sarandon
was in
The Witches Of Eastwick
with
Michelle Pfeiffer

To be fair, Brad Weiss was a bit of a slut too. ;D

[Cuchulainn]

Michelle Pfeiffer
was wayyy to old for high school
in
Grease 2
with
Maxwell Caulfield

[Jason Nelson]

Yes, Brad was a naughty boy. "But Brad, isn't it FUN?" "Just... don't tell Janet."

I call shenanigans on using an actor in the game with NO OTHER SCREEN CREDITS! Therefore, I skip the preceding response and say:

Michelle Pfeiffer's voice
was in
Prince of Egypt
with the voice of
Ralph Feinnes

Spoiler:

and with Joseph Feinnes in Sinbad, Legend of the Seven Seas, and speaking of Brad, Mr. Pitt was the titular voice of Sinbad

** spoiler omitted **

O Contrare!

Maxwell Caulfield was in
Empire Records
with
Liv Tyler

Admittedly, it's obscure, but he WAS in the movie.

Fair enough - my imdb skills failed me. All right then, obscure turnabout is fair play:

Liv Tyler
was in
Aerosmith's "Angel" video
with daddy
Steven Tyler

[Cuchulainn]

Steven Tyler
had a cameo in
Be Cool
with
Danny DeVito

[Celestial Healer]

Danny DeVito
was in the dreadful film
Twins
with
Arnold Schwarzenegger

[Charles Scholz]

Arnold Schwarzenegger
was in
The Villain
Jack Elam

[Cuchulainn]

Jack Elam
was in
Hot Lead and Cold Feet
with
Jim Dale

[Charles Scholz]

Jim Dale
played "Lusty" in
Lock Up Your Daughters
with
Susannah York

I love these old comedies. They don't make them like this anymore.

[Jason Nelson]

Susannah York
played Superman's mom in
Superman II
with
Terence Stamp

and I liked Twins - I thought it was a cute picture; goofy, sure, but cute

[Vattnisse]

Terence Stamp
was a hard man with an incomprehensible accent in
The Limey
with
Peter Fonda

[Charles Scholz]

Peter Fonda
was in
92 In The Shade
with
Harry Dean Stanton

[Vattnisse]

Harry Dean Stanton
was in
the awesome Repo Men
with
the distinctly un-awesome Emilio Estevez
