Hey movie buffs and action junkies! Listen up—one of the most hyped action flicks of the decade is hitting theaters here in the States very soon: The Expendables! It’s an absolute powerhouse directed by and starring Sylvester Stallone, who basically assembled the ultimate dream team of action cinema. He’s actually managed to bridge the gap between the legends of the old school and the heavy hitters of today. On the veteran side, we've got Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Gary Daniels, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke, plus some cameos from Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Then you have the newer muscle led by Jason Statham and Steve Austin, along with a couple of newcomers to the genre: MMA fighter Randy Couture and the massive Terry Crews, who most of you know more for his comedy stuff.
We’re just missing Van Damme, Steven Seagal, and Wesley Snipes to complete the old guard, but hey, it's still a killer lineup.
To celebrate this release, I’m putting together a little action-themed sweepstakes. Anyone can enter (except me, haha). The sweepstakes kicks off today and runs until midnight this Thursday, right before the US premiere. I'll probably announce the winners on either Friday or Monday. I'm heading out for a quick shoot this Friday and won't be back until Monday, but if I can snag some Wi-Fi, I'll try to post the winners ASAP.
I'm footing the bill for this one myself, so here is what's up for grabs:

1st PLACE - 3 Sylvester Stallone movies (Blu-ray)

image image image

2nd PLACE - 2 Jason Statham movies (Blu-ray)

image image

3rd PLACE - 1 Jet Li movie (Blu-ray)

Alright, here are the rules...

RULES

I put this together pretty fast, so bear with me if there are any hiccups. Here’s how it works:

1. - There will be a variety of challenges: simple trivia, anagrams where movie titles or characters are hidden, picture rounds, and maybe even a puzzle or two.

2. - I'll be dropping a few challenges here today—maybe 4 or 5 total—every hour or two. You’ve got until midnight tonight to get them done. Once tomorrow hits, we start fresh with new tasks; any old answers from yesterday won't count toward the new round, they just help set the baseline.

3. - You get 3 POINTS for every right answer, but a wrong one costs you 1 point. That goes for everyone right from the jump, even if you're starting at zero. If you mess up early on, you'll find yourself in the negatives.

4. - Plus, there's a 1 BONUS POINT up for grabs for speed. If you're the first one to nail a new challenge, you grab those 3 points plus the extra bonus.

5. - Once Thursday wraps up, the window closes. I'll tally everything up and announce the winners. If there's a tie, I'll come up with some way to break it... but we'll cross that bridge if we actually get there.


Let the games begin... good luck, everyone.👍

PS: Admins, it might be a good idea to pin this thread to the top of the movie subforum so more people actually see it.👍

QUESTION NO. 1.

Which 90s action flick is hidden behind the "Emotional Mind" anagram?

I'll drop the correct answers to today's tasks tomorrow, right before I post the first one for the new day. That way, everyone can see if they actually nailed it or missed the mark...

By the way, the answers are public... keeping everything above board and avoiding any shady behind-the-scenes stuff... so definitely no answers via PM.

Just take your best shots, guys—post the answers you think are right.👍

Also, just so nobody thinks I'm messing around here... I'M NOT. This game is legit! The movies are already ordered; we're just waiting on the winners now...👍

Anthony Smith3 - Seriously, props to you for pulling this together, but honestly? I think a better way to run this would be having everyone send their answers via PM. The way it’s set up now, if someone isn't sure about an answer, they just scroll up, see what everyone else wrote, and then just copy-paste whatever looks right... it kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? But hey, whatever, your sweepstakes, your rules. I'm still jumping in:

Demolition Man

@Andrew Roberts3

Look... I whipped all this up pretty fast last night so... maybe I should've insisted on sending answers via PM... but honestly... it's better if everyone can see everything... plus... nobody's guaranteeing those answers are even right anyway lol😁😁

Also... like David Price5 said... there'll be plenty of different challenges coming... this one was just a warm-up hehe...

Anyway... moving on to the next task...

QUESTION NO. 2

How many differences can you spot in the image below? It is extremely important that you do NOT mark, describe, or mention them! Just find them, add them up, and post the total number. Tomorrow, I'll confirm how many differences there actually are and point out where they are.

PS. Thanks to the admins for the pinned thread👍

Consider this an open invite for everyone else to join in on the fun...👍

Haha... honestly, I don't even know if I should trust these corrected answers anymore...

I think it’d be fair if everyone just took a good, long look at the image and gave me one final answer.👍

hehe, you just take one away for a wrong answer and add 3 for a right one. 🙂

3. - Every correct answer earns you 3 BODA points, while each wrong one costs you 1 point. That applies right from the start when everyone is at zero. If someone messes up then, they go into the negatives.

I guess I'll give you a pass on this last one since I didn't mention there wouldn't be any corrections, so let's just call that the final word...

My bad... like I said, I'm moving fast here... making stuff up as I go, so mistakes happen.👍
