Woman/Man/Woman

As I've just watched the only movie in the IMDb with the keyword "Medical Bill" (comedy from 1984), I figured a quick update on the keyword puzzle from earlier. Most of them were gotten, in fact.

• Animated Chess: both pegged by Rubrick
• Based on Painting: Also in the keywords: Spoof, Voice Changer. So it's not in fact Girl with a Pearl Earring, even though it should be. (The unique keyword there is "Delft Holland". I think there's a whole range of untapped place names to be done here. "Augusta Georgia" is unique, for instance. So is "Stockbridge Massachusetts", though it's for a Lansbury/Olivier TV movie, and not for the only movie with the keyword "Volkswagen Microbus".)
• Human Needed to Save Alien Planet: no, seriously, you should have seen this when it came out in 1984
• Swedish Sex Bomb: also, Funny Nazi

1. Based on Cult Comic Book: guessed by Androidqueen
2. Bubble Wrap: also Ostrich, Stupidity
3. Cat Juggling: Lunch Boy and Hathor got it
4. Champion Horse: Lapak knew it
5. Corrupt School System: recognized by a skeptical Hathor
6. Dragon Skeleton: known, alas, by Wesley Jenn
7. Fake War: Androidqueen knew this one too
8. Fictional Twin: Lunch Boy and his twin Dr. Whom Boy
9. King Edward I: Dr. Whom, tentative but right
10. Megalopolis: Aspartaimee (or else Hathor, whichever one of them is real)
11. Multiple Heads: Lunch Boy, even without a "shrubbery" hint
12. Remote Control Robot: Hathor probably knows it, but if it helps, it's also the only movie with "Steerage" as a keyword (other than an upcoming documentary on the same subject)
13. Severed Horse's Head: Gnomi, with the first guess
14. Sexy Male Vampire: Lilisonna knows her sexy male vampires (which, well, I already knew)
15. Wheel of Death: Aspartaimee knows her sexy Tina Turner
16. Wudang Mountains: Dr. Whooooom

Human Needed to Save Alien Planet: no, seriously, you should have seen this when it came out in 1984

Oh. Last Starfighter.

[janne.livejournal.com]

I saw that when it came out. Was fun :)

[tahnan.livejournal.com]

That's indeed it.

The weird thing is that's the second time this year that a comment about that movie and the 80s has dropped the penny so I could figure out what it was. (First time was in a game of Pictionary. The person drawing, in despair, said, "You had to be a teenage boy in the 80s to know what this is!" and I said, "Oh! Last Starfighter," and she was completely hornswoggled. :))

Human Needed to Save Alien Planet
Well sure it had Will Wheaton in it, but he was saving an entire empire, not just a planet.

[tahnan.livejournal.com]

But he was just in the deleted scenes.

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

OK, yeah, I definitely do know the remote control robot one, and I refuse to say its name.

The Sex Bomb & Funny Nazi must be The Producers. I'm going to guess the original, but I could be wrong on that.

[janne.livejournal.com]

Hmm... I was thinking Adventures of Picasso, but I can't recall if there were nazis in it.

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

If the Funny Nazi had been listed first, I might have ventured Eating Raoul, because it contains my favorite scene featuring someone in an SS uniform. However, Mary Woronov is not Swedish.

[janne.livejournal.com]

Aha, Adventures of Picasso does feature Hitler. I'm definitely putting my money on tha. Screamingly funny movie and worth seeing, regardless :)

I got #12 from "Steerage", but now I'm curious about hahathor's reaction to it. I went in thinking I wouldn't like it, but I didn't mind it at all. I can't hate a movie with Kathy Bates!

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

My original comment was "I think I know 12, but just thinking of that movie ear wormed me with a song that I wish I had never heard, so I'm not going to mention it." Of course, having been at a Jonathan Coulton concert last night, Celine really has no ear-worming power at all.

[tahnan.livejournal.com]

I did like the movie; but oh god the song will go on. And on.

[tahnan.livejournal.com]

Yeah--the original, not the sequel.

[thedan.livejournal.com]

Bubble Wrap couldn't be Booty Call... could it?

[thedan.livejournal.com]

Dude Where's My Car also strikes me as a possibility.

[tahnan.livejournal.com]

It's "Dude, Where's My Car" (which I saw some of, but not the bubble wrap scene).

[dr_whom]

"Volkswagen Microbus" is clearly Alice's Restaurant, however.

[tahnan.livejournal.com]

Yep; it takes place in Stockbridge--well, the song does--so you'd think that might be a keyword for it; but, well, no.

[jydog1.livejournal.com]

Someone already nailed 'the producers' but I feel like saying 'Gutan Puday," so, well, Gutan Puday! Bialyshtock and Bloooom!

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

OK, this is just a strange thought, because the movie isn't really based on the painting, just one shot (which was used for the ad campaign), but is the painting, by chance, a Munch?
