Correct, it's all yours.

I love that movie! Just watched it recently, too, when my girlfriend requested a double feature of that and Blazing Saddles.

Anyway, my next offering:



Sorry the foreground is a bit sloppy... I should have photographed Wreck-Gar and Junkheap as separate elements to the two figures in the background, rather then photographing all four together. Hard to make a good transparency around an out-of-focus object. Hopefully, 'tis good enough to get the point across.

Hahaha, very good, The Shining.

Correct!

I really need to think of a harder one. Maybe the The Shining one would have been a tiny bit more of a challenge if I didn't make it so obvious by including the hallway. (The background element wasn't as essential as with E.T., as context for the moon / Unicron, or Citizen Kane, as context for the giant Kane / Prime backdrop.)

I shall try to think of a good one soon! Just as a point of interest, although the thread is "Name That Film," if there is an iconic scene from a television series, would anyone have an objection to that? (I don't immediately have an idea, mind you... But it is something I've been wondering about.)

The hallway did definitely make it more obvious, but I don't really see how you could have done it without the hallway, unless you just used a couple of cardboard boxes to make walls. That was another scene I wanted to do but didn't have to time to figure it out. Good job.

I have been wondering about television as well, mainly because I want to try to stage a scene from a movie which might be confused with a TV series based on it later. Personally I wouldn't have a problem with that, but it might get confusing or exclusive to participants on opposite sides of the pond. I could throw together a scene from "Fawlty Towers" but how many members here in America would have a chance of guessing it? Likewise, how much knowledge would a member in Europe have of "The A-Team"? My vote is leave it up to leakin' to decide since this thread is his brainchild.

I don't have a problem with TV shows, as long as you state it's a TV show in the post.

Well, I'm an American member, and I'd love to see that! I even have a pre-guess of which scene you might have in mind... The scene from Gormet Night where Basil gives his car a damn good thrashing with a tree branch?

Actually I was wondering how to stage the scene with the moose head.

Ah, I figured the scene I mentioned, as it would be a fairly easy one with Transformers, as it involves a person and a car. (Of course, what Transformer could double for the great John Cleese?)

Sorry it's taken a while, here's my latest offering.

leakin' lubricant wrote:Sorry it's taken a while, here's my latest offering.

Not a fan of the genera, so this is just a wild guess... But with the tape in Blaster's hand and him flying/jumping towards a screen, is it something from The Ring or Ringu?

No not Ring, a couple of hints, he's not flying or jumping, and the tape is not supposed to be taken literally, it's a means of recording data.

mission impossible?

That's the one, over to you.

I've got nothing ready, so I'll throw it open.

Hint: This is actually from a movie poster rather than a scene.

Is that Evil Dead 3?

Indeed it is!



You have no idea how effing hard it was to get them all into this one pose. Especially Prime there!

Over to you!

Very nice shot! Prime looks great there. Here's one I've just taken.

Would that be from Robocop?

It is, how are you so good at this?!

leakin' lubricant wrote:It is, how are you so good at this?!

Well, the way that Shockwave was transformed, he looked kind of ED-209ish. And with his hands clasped behind his back, Spyglass looked kind of smug-businessman-ish.

So I thought to myself, "It has been too long since I've seen Robocop... Was there a scene in it where Ronny Cox's character (whose name escapes me at the moment) was standing in front of an ED-209 like that?"

To confirm my suspicions, I Google image searched ED-209 and came across the image I included with my guess. Simple as that.

>:oP smooth.

Well, while I do have a scene in mind for my next attempt, I have nothing currently ready. So, I throw things open to the floor.
