The Producers.

Loving the use of Superion there, very clever. Also loving your penchant for classics, I need to go and watch this again now. I'll try and get one up tomorrow.

Very close, leakin', but Madeus is correct; it's the monster debut scene from "Young Frankenstein".

I thought the other guess was quite ironic, same director, also a musical version, also a comedy classic, only issue was it was the wrong film.

Reissuing this for the current page


The background is irrelevant.

Damn it of course, getting my Mel Brooks films mixed up, now I've gotta watch both of them

Is that the overdose scene from Pulp Fiction?

Nope, and actually most of the character's personalities fit the scene.

Oh is it the final scene of The Exorsist?

leakin' lubricant wrote:Oh is it the final scene of The Exorsist?

Nope. Hint, its comedy.

The Hangover?

Nope, older film, great director/actor portrayed by First Aid

Any chance of another clue, I for one am stumped!

Hmmm. First Aid is a doctor and a pacifist, mostly. Is he representing Alan Alda?

morphobots wrote:Hmmm. First Aid is a doctor and a pacifist, mostly. Is he representing Alan Alda?

No, but it's another actor with a unique and classic voice and method of acting.

It features a musical sequence based on the name of the film, but it isn't a musical.

Would it be a Woody Allen film by any chance?

Ennnhh, closer, but no, the director's style is a lot more camp then Allen's work. The movie also is a bit of a forgotten gem.

Can we get a decade to narrow it down?

Man, I picked a good one! The late seventies, 77 to be exact.

That was kind of what I figured. Now I have to concentrate on personalities.

I'm getting a tingling in my sucker-sense. Have we been played? Is it "High Anxiety"?

YES!!!

Ahhhhggggg! Of course it is, stop making me want to watch Mel Brooks films! That's 3 I've got to watch now.

Wow. This was as bad as when I posted "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance." I'll have to think about my next offering.

Ok, here we go. Please ignore the paperwork at the side. This is one's an oldie also, but something of a cult classic. Hints: Lockdown's thumbs are supposed to be stuck in a belt. The movie was made by a famous author, but not based on a book.

Damn, that was fast! I thought for sure it would be a stumper.

Don't feel bad mate, it's one of my all time favorite films, nice use of Lockdown.

Here's an easy one to keep things going.
