The way I've seen these threads work on other forums is that the person who gets the correct answer (and only that person) gets to pose the next question. That has two effects: (1) only one question is outstanding at any given time, and (2) you have to think of the next quote after you figure out the answer to the last one.

But of course, there could be other ways to work it...

I like this.


New rules!!!

The winner of the previous quote submits the next quote or appoints one person to submit a quote for them if he.she does not feel up to it.

New scores will be up momentarily in the op.

Aslo BigJim starts off with the new rules. Figure out jims, then move on. :-)

Well, KKFOS was the only Sci-Fi movie I could think of with clowns in it

Oh, here's my quote

Character 1: Hey look, there's Taurus the bull.
Character 2: And right underneath him the constellation feces

(Didn't want to use names because it would make it too easy, still I think it's a pretty easy quote)

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie

Come on, guys! These are too easy!

Alright, this one isn't from a sci-fi movie, but it's one of my favorite movie quotes:

Difficulty - 7
"Let her go or die! That's the only deal you're gonna make!"

Hmmm....Not Sci-fi...Sounds like a Bond movie ( i don't know why, the language)....

So it might be From Russia with Love or Dr. No (just becuase).

I'm going with:From Russia with Love.

But i am probobly wrong.

g99 - WRONG!
Triangle Man - WRONG!

No one has it yet. Oh, the tension......

I'll add a little to the quote to make it easier to find:

"We've both been here before. Tried to play games last time, and you got a woman killed, remember?

You kill her, you're dead half a second later.

(Character name) I'm serious! Now go over the side!

Let her go or die! That's the only deal you're gonna make!"

I have no clue, but since it's not a sci-fi movie, you're not playing by the rules

(I've checked IMDB and a bunch of other quotes sites even Google has no idea what you're talking about)

Stumped. I was thinking The Game. But now that i think about it that does not make sense. Nobody dies in the movie.

Another clue?

P.S. in the future try to keep it to space or Sci-fi movies.

P.P.S. Question: do you guys consider fantasy movies in Sci-fi? Like Lord of the Rings?

Not really, unless it's space related fantasy (Star Trek, which is more fantansy than Sci-Fi)

I am guessing it has to be a movie, not an episode of a Sci-Fi series.
If so, I shall stick to spectator. Good idea, though!

Everyone give up? Can I tell you? (A particularly maddening thought to you must be that I have the movie in question in my VCR, right now, and I'm watching it. There goes the title...... :wink: )

I have the feeling that I've seen this movie before, but the only title I can come up with is "Last Action Hero". If not, I think there was a similar dialog in that. I truly hope I am wrong.
