Tuesday Trivia: Actor math (all solved!)

Let’s see if this works: I’ll describe two characters from two different movies, and then the third movie is one featuring the two actors. Got it?

1. Deranged veteran plus part of an Israeli hit team equals high stakes poker game.
Solved by Trevor J (comment #1) and Hogan (comment #9).

2. “Blondie” plus “Old Lodge Skins” equals a bunch of post-Civil War misfits seeking a homestead.
Solved by Melville (comment #4).

3. A crooked theatrical producer plus a real-life journalist equals a jewel heist gone wrong.
Solved by Tom Hilton (comment #14).

4. An evil Cardinal plus the President of the United States equals future noir.
Solved by Tom Hilton (comment #6).

5. An obsessed fan plus a chauffeur’s reluctant employer equals a Southern restaurant.
Solved by Tom Hilton (comment #7).

6. A femme fatale with a thermal problem plus a screenwriter’s twin equals a high school reunion.
Solved by Trevor J (comment #2).

7. A pirate plus a Philadelphia lawyer equals an obese mom and a mentally retarded brother.
Solved by melissa (comment #3) and Trevor J (comment #5).

  1. Trevor J says:

    So, let me see if I’ve got this right:

    1. Jeffrey Wright (from Manchurian Candidate) + Daniel Craig (Munich) = Casino Royale

    Is that how it works?

  2. Trevor J says:

    6. Kathleen Turner (Body Heat) + Nic Cage (Adaptation) = Peggy Sue Got Married

  3. melissa says:

    7. Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean) + Leonardo Di Caprio (Catch Me if You Can) = What’s Eating Gilbert Grape

  4. Melville says:

    #2 is Clint Eastwood (The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly) and Chief Dan George (Little Big Man) in The Outlaw Josey Wales.

  5. Trevor J says:

    What Melissa said except replace Leo with Mary Steenburgen from Philadelphia.

  6. Tom Hilton says:

    #4: Rutger Hauer (Sin City) plus Harrison Ford (Air Force One) = Blade Runner

  7. Tom Hilton says:

    #5; Kathy Bates (Misery) plus Jessica Tandy (Driving Miss Daisy) = Fried Green Tomatoes.

  8. Trevor J says:

    #3 Matthew Broderick (The Producers) + Dustin Hoffman (All the President’s Men) = Family Business

  9. Hogan says:

    #1 – Giancarlo Giannini (Seven Beauties) plus Daniel Craig (Munich) equals Casino Royale?

  10. Deborah Lipp says:

    I think the word “Casino” might be a moderation trigger. Sorry.

  11. Deborah Lipp says:

    Hogan, I have never seen Seven Beauties, Trevor has the answer I was thinking of. But since you’ve got a plausible answer, I’ll give you credit as well.

  12. Deborah Lipp says:

    #8. Trevor, I’ve never seen Family Business and that’s not what I’m thinking of. Is it really a jewel heist gone wrong? If so, I’ll give you credit for a creative alternative.

  13. Trevor J says:

    I can’t remember what they’re stealing in Family Business and quick scans of IMDb and Wiki are no help. Another quick search says an “industrial heist,” so let’s just say I’m wrong.

  14. Tom Hilton says:

    #3: Zero Mostel (The Producers) plus Robert Redford (All the President’s Men) = The Hot Rock.

  15. Hogan says:

    I think the word “Casino” might be a moderation trigger. Sorry.

    Actually I prefer that to the explanation I came up with for my missing Trevor’s comment (i.e., I’m not very smrt).
