Name that movie (off-off-topic)

The book is titled "The Short-Timers" by Gustav Hasford. Hasford was a Marine Combat Correspondent in Vietnam, even though he never specifically said so, the book was a memoir of his experience in the Marine Corps. and Vietnam during the Tet Offensive.

Okay--That makes sense, seeing as how Modine's character is also a Marine correspondent. I wonder if private Pyle's killing of the drill sergent and subsequent suicide is based on something that actually happened.

Ok, here's another movie/book tie in, this one should be easy.


What book was "Apocolyse Now" based on? Just title, not author.

Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad

Okay, I've got one:

"The 13th Warrior" was based on what book, by what author?

"eaters of the dead" by Michael Crichton.

"Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff"

Ok, NOBODY WILL GET THIS ONE!!!! BWAA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!

Name the Movie

AND

Name the CITY that was originally in the line, AND why they DUBBED "VEGAS" over it.

Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Love the Bomb

Dallas, because it was shot before the Kennedy assassination but changed afterward to be more politically correct.


Sorry, big Kubrick fan. =)

"Well, Mister Bat Guano, if that really is your name!"

Counter question: Dr. Strangelove was the cinematic debut for which actor?

I'll take a guess, just because I know it was one of his early pictures--James Earl Jones?

James Earll Jones



Good Job!!!! Actually, the film's first screening for critics was scheduled for Nov 22, 1963, the exact day JFK shot.

So, what role in the movie was Peter Sellers supposed to play, but wasn't able to because of an injury?
