Stump the USCHO Movie Buff(Part III)

Re: Stump the USCHO Movie Buff(Part III)

Still no response-Hint #2: A character from the TV show Taxi is also in this movie.
 
Re: Stump the USCHO Movie Buff(Part III)

I know what it is, but only cuz I cheated and looked it up. I'll disqualify myself from this round.

I never thought this one would be tough for this sharp crowd. OK another hint-a star from Sea of Love is in this movie also.

I can remember the movie, just not the name. I believe it was an odd long title for a movie. Someone else will have to get this one.

How no one knows The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 5th Dimension is beyond me.

"Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."

That is it, I remember the movie, I just could not remember the title. Didn't care much for it, probably why I could not remember the name.

Thank you RC-I had given about as many clues as I could without giving the title away-just a campy sort of movie that I enjoyed watching several times.

Lost in America.

actor 1: You're asking me, the turd?

actor 2: Well, you look like a pretty sensitive turd to me.

Class-the clue lit the lightbulb for me-always had this thing for Jaqueline Bisset

Robin Hood? (the Errol Flynn version, of course).

I use any excuse to quote from that great flick-it was one of the first my dad took me to see. I hated basil Rathbone for years because of it-until I saw him in Sherlock Holmes movies.:) Your turn to post.

Next time you see it, watch in the background of the two (I think) fight scenes in the great hall. There are guys running back and forth, back and forth, and that's all they do. Somebody mentioned it on some show or another, and now it's like the kid with his hands over his ears in North by Northwest, I can't see anything else but these doofusses running around, doing nothing. Rathbone, I'm told, hated the Holmes films. Too formulaic, or something. I'm betting he cashed the checks, though.

Try this:

"Let me repeat again - get to know this weapon. Craftiness can solve many a criminal case, but with hoodlums you sometimes need a good conscientious, hard-working machine gun."

Now I know this is an oldie since I think I saw it when I was a kid-I'm guessing the 50's but I can't think of a name-let me sleep on it and if I don't get it, then a hint will maybe help. I know it is a G-man movie and I want to say Broderick Crawford or Jimmy Stewart was in it but it would really be a wild guess.
I too look for the kid holding his ears in North By Northwest-and the luxury liner in the background of the Crimson Pirate. Once you know about these flubs you can't take your eyes off of them.

You're on the right track. I'll hold off on a clew until tomorrow.
