Daily Quiz anyone?

"If you are stuck at home and bored like me. How about exercising the old grey cells? I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature. I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers. You mark your own answers and post your score. I will then record the scores and at the end of the ""lockdown"" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves) Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions. Any interest?"

Yep Stoltz played Martin bundle. He's still visible in a couple of shots in back to the future.

[zico]

"Sorry MD, been out. Seth Bundle, of course. Was it Martin in the sequel played by Eric Stotlz? Stoltz was actually Marty McFly after Michael J Fox was busy with Family Ties. But after filming most of his scenes he was deemed too serious so they fired Stoltz and went back to Fox,. He shot his scenes at night time whilst doing Family Ties during the day and that they say is history!"

"The thing is one of my favourite films of all time. 80s were responsible for some of the best films, action, comedy horror. Some great stuff. Watched the fly again a few weeks back for first time in years. Absolutely outstanding. Now let's see if you can name Jeff goldblum's charachter"

[zico]

"Actually I did as well. Stallone played a Gabriel in Cliffhanger and that threw me so thankfully MD allowed either! Actually the girl at the start of Cliffhanger (spoiler alert but MD will know what I mean) should have got an Oscar for that acting, best part of the film acting wise really! If anyone hasn't seen The Thing with Kurt Russell see it, an absolutely brilliant film."
