I’m joining in to congratulate the winners and Anthony Smith3 for putting in all the effort and time (and the cash 😁) to keep us entertained.
Like most people here, I feel the answers should have been sent via private message. Since it's impossible for everyone to be online at the exact same moment, I’d suggest scrapping the bonus points for whoever is first to answer correctly. Instead, we should just give them to anyone who manages to get all the sub-questions right.
A special thanks goes to the boss for letting me participate in this quiz by heading off on vacation and staying away from the forums. 🤣
Anthony Smith3 said:Hey everyone. Round three is officially in the books, which means we’re heading into the grand finale—the final day of this game, coinciding with the US premiere of The Avengers 🙂. I can't give away too much just yet, but I might shake things up with some surprises or minor rule tweaks today to spice up this finale. There's a chance I'll ask you to send answers via PM for one of today's questions, but we'll see how it goes. Before I drop the correct answers and the updated leaderboard, I need to clear the air so there's no confusion later. ruggedfox28 and Christian Williams61, you guys gave me a bit of a headache by being late on that last question. Since you were only a few minutes behind—2 and 5 minutes past midnight respectively—I had to decide how to handle it. Here’s my call: we all know the deadline is strictly midnight. However, since your delay was basically negligible, I'm going to treat it like a referee in a football game adding a couple of minutes of stoppage time. I'll accept your answers, but I can't be fair to the people who actually hit the deadline on time. So, I'm docking half a point from each of you for that question. On the other hand, Matthew Anderson4 and boldwalker2, I can't accept your entries at all. Being 26 minutes or over an hour late is way beyond "stoppage time." Sorry, guys.
Alright, here are the solutions and the current standings...
QUESTION NO. 10.
The actors from The Avengers have worked with all sorts of directors throughout their careers, from the legends to the newcomers. Below are photos of some cast members from The Avengers paired with directors they've worked with. Your job is to match the actor to the director—basically, connect the bullet to the letter.
for example:
A-1 Hard Target B-3 Bloodsport
etc.
To keep things simple, each actor has only been paired with one director from the list so there's no guesswork. I didn't include the directors' names to make it a bit more challenging, so please don't try to name them if you recognize them—that's strictly against the rules. Play fair and think for yourself.
Getting all 8 pairs right earns you 3 points, 5 pairs gets you 2 points, and 3 pairs gets you 1 point. Anything less than that results in a -1 penalty. Mentioning any of the film titles counts as a bonus point.
ANSWERS: A-5 Sylvester Stallone & Danny Cannon - Judge Dredd B-7 Jason Statham & Roger Donaldson - The Jackal C-8 Jet Li & Andrzej Bartkowiak - Cradle 2 the Grave & Rome must Die D-1 Dolph Lundgren & Russell Mulcahy - Silent Trigger E-2 Eric Roberts & Christopher Nolan - The Dark Knight F-3 Steve Austin & Peter Segal - The Longest Yard G-4 Arnold Schwarzenegger & Peter Hyams - End of Days H-6 Bruce Willis & Len Wiseman - Die Hard 4
QUESTION NO. 11.
Now, let's play a little game called: Guess the Ninja
Simple enough: guess who's hiding behind the ninja mask and which number they are. Just write down the number and the actor's name you think is underneath.
ANSWERS: 1. Sylvester Stallone 2. Clint Eastwood 3. Arnold Schwarzenegger 4. Bruce Willis 5. Wesley Snipes 6. Jean-Claude Van Damme 7. Kurt Russell 8. Michael Dudikoff 9. Chuck Norris 10. Dolph Lundgren 11. Jackie Chan 12. Steven Seagal 13. Chow Yun Fat 14. Jet Li 15. Marc Dacascos 16. Gary Daniels
(unbelievable... nobody actually nailed the one real Ninja here... an American Ninja, haha 😁)
QUESTION NO. 12.
This one’s a bit of a "puzzle." Your task is to look at the image below and figure out which action movie it is.
Getting it right earns you 3 points.
ANSWER: The Peacekeeper
QUESTION NO. 13.
The image below is a mashup of three different shots from three different action flicks. My question is: which movies am I looking at? Nailing all three gets you 3 points, two gets you 2 points, and just one gets you 1 point.
ANSWER: 1 Hard Target 2 Crying Freeman 3 The Corruptor
Still sitting at the top is feralorca82 with 38 points, followed closely by gentlebadger88 at 37. Right now, ruggedfox28 and Christian Williams61 are fighting it out for third with 32.5 points each. Just behind them, we've got Rick Deckard with 32, while rustyscout34, Matthew Anderson4, and WHUFC are all tied up at 31 points .
We'll see if today's finale shakes things up at all.👍
I was absolutely certain the real ninja was hiding somewhere in this thread the moment I read the question. Later on, though, I couldn't figure out who it could be. 😁
As punishment, I guess I have to watch this movie for the 11th time. 🤣
