This is an iconic scene from my favorite movie of all time. Make sure you get it right! Anyone who guesses a more recent film that shamelessly ripped it off will face the death penalty!

Unless I'm mixing the anti-matter. Here's one quick before I go to work. Again, probably showing my age here.

I have no immediate answer unless we're opening it up to TV shows, and it is something like CHIPS or Galactica 1980. (Although why anyone would want to reference Galactica 1980 is beyond me!)

Oh, duh! I think I have it, although I had to resort to Google Image Searching, "Famous Motorcycle Films." And once I saw the image in question, while I haven't seen the film, I am aware of the existence of it. But since I found it with such measures, I shall withhold my guess for an hour or two incase anyone who knows the answer by more honest means wishes to supply it.

That, indeed, was my aforementioned Google aided guess.

Anyone feel free to post one as I don't have one to post at the moment.

This was the best I could come up with.

Pretty sure I know, but I want to give somebody else a chance this time.

Rules? What rules?

I had one buzzing around, let's see who's old enough for this one.

With some Hasbro scale of reference, yes.

Took me ages to get Soundwave and Optimus to balance.

I was actually thinking of doing that one myself, but I was stuck on the scale issue, and couldn't think who Soundwave might scale with. (Although, thinking on it now, I have an obvious one: Metroplex! D'oh!)

Hmm... This one, as an extreme close-up of a head, is kind of ambiguous.

My first thought was, based on the expression, Total Recall, with Quaid gasping in the Martian atmosphere. But what I initially took for a redish dirt background, I then realized was a foreground the character was bursting through.

Still not sure... but if I had to hazard a guess, is it Jack Torrence going, "Here's Johnny!"? (Probably not, but 'tis my best guess.)

It is! I was trying to think of films with 'angry faces' - then rembered the Nicholson crazed grimace.

Great job, man! I wanted to do that one but had no idea how to go about it since I have nothing with the right face.

Orders softened at the factory so I'm off work today. Threw together a handful of shots, including something from one of my favorites, but it might stump everybody. I'm fully willing to provide clues if asked. Hint: everyone in the pic was chosen for a reason, not tossed in randomly.

No bloody clue from me on that one, alas.

No, sir, it is not. You have to go back further in time, both for the period of the scene and the making of the movie.

It's very close though (you just need to slice Bumblebee in two)!

Hmmm.. That makes me think it's a Western.. :-?
