BRUCE WILLIS MOVIE QUIZ
BRUCE WILLIS MOVIE QUIZ
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES OR EVEN A HINT IN A COMMENT, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE QUIZ FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST THEM IN A PRIVATE NOTE TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.
Don't forget that I am on the other side of the world (of most of you) and I could be asleep when you send your answers, so be patient - I will get to your PN as soon as I can.
PLEASE, PLEASE , READ WHAT IS BELOW FIRST AND FOLLOW THE RULES IN ORDER TO GET FULL MARKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS. IT IS ALWAYS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST QUIZ.
This time, besides the two image clues, the third clue is and it is REQUIRED that the movie MUST be a movie on the Rotten Tomatoes' "All Bruce Willis Films Ranked" list linked just below this paragraph. I have seen only 7 of them on the quiz myself so many of the movies can be identified from just the images that often just spell out the title. However, some others will still require you to either have watched the movies or be familiar with them because the clues will represent an item, fact, scenario or aspect that will require you to know the story or what the film is about. A few have been included in previous quizzes, but these are almost all new image clues, and as usual I don't think any of them are actual screen shots from the movies. I try to use clues that do not make it easy to do a web search, and since this is a test of your knowledge of movies, web searching using web programs that identify movies from the clues is cheating.
IMPORTANT: You might have to first click this link that will take you to a page on which you will see the leader to the article All Bruce Willis Films Ranked - Rotten..., and you will then have to click the title of that leader or the link below it to open the list. Or else it may open right away - I'm not sure.

Note that I never use the same movie more than once in the same quiz, and usually the order of the clues is important.
THE RULES
I am being fairly lenient in my scoring, and not overly concerned about spelling mistakes, punctuation, capitalizing or leaving out or adding an extraneous "A" or "The", but even if you guess the answer you should check the movie name on the linked list to make sure it is the full and correct name. For example, you will lose a half mark if you make the title one word if it is two, or two words when it is only one because that means to me that you are not sure of the title. So just identifying the images does not necessarily mean that you know the name of the movie. As well, if you can convince me that my clues are equally as important for or better indicative of a movie other than the one I've chosen, provided it is one of the movies on the linked list above, I will accept that alternative as a good answer. In some previous quizzes I did accept alternatives. Please also send only one answer for each question - I cannot score it if you provide more than one movie per question.
Please number your answers the same as the questions.

Those of us who are into movies are sad and concerned about Bruce Willis, who is suffering from a particularly severe form of dementia. It is topical, and I decided to dedicate this quiz to honour him. You will have a list of his 92 movies from which to choose the answers to the questions. PLEASE read the whole introduction - participants sometimes lose points for not being aware of what it says. Most of the questions should be fairly easy, so have some fun doing this quiz, but as always, please remember...
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES OR EVEN A HINT IN A COMMENT HERE, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE QUIZ FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST THEM IN A PRIVATE NOTE TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS. IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS SOMETHING ABOUT MOVIES, I WELCOME YOU TO CONTACT ME WITH A PN, OR PLEASE JUST WAIT UNTIL I CLOSE THIS QUIZ SUNDAY EVENING.
Once again you will have about 5 days to complete the quiz. It will be closed and the winners announced on Sunday evening February 26th at about 9:30 pm New York City Time.
Thanks Buzz - looking at clues
I think this quiz is going to have a lot of high scores.
Thanks for another good quiz, Buzz. Bruce Willis is very talented.
You're welcome, Jasper, and thanks for being a regular participant.
Looks like we need a bump!
We always do.
Gonna give this one a whirl......Thanks Buzz.
Your participation is always welcome.
HELP!!!! We've already been pushed off the Front (Home) Page.
Submitted
First one in - received and scored Thank you.
Still working on this. BUMMMMP!
Keep up the good work.
Working on the clues
"Dreams don't work unless you do." (no author indicated)
Submitted.
Received and scored. Thank you.
DONE!
Received and scored. Thank you as well.
Submitted
And a bump back to the front page. Come on people.. this is a good quiz and timely
With only a couple of days left until closing, there have only been 4 who played. I'm getting disappointed by some of those I've been sending notifications to, who do not participate any more, either they don't try the quizzes and don't help to keep the quiz on the front page. Perhaps it's a waste of time sending them notifications. Ever heard the song "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"? I'm sad to say that not many NT members do, although I've been doing my best to make NT more of a fun place, but it's a struggle when we are so strangled by divisive and mean political ranting.
Received and scored. Thanks for your consistent support of the quizzes.
Ooops! I did it again. Whenever I reply to the last comment on the page I forget to make it a reply. So now I've fixed it.
Oh oh, I think I pushed the quiz off the Front (Home) Page with my Good Luck Mr. Gorsky fun article. So HELP!!!! Comments and article votes up needed.
Bumping back to the front page
Thanks. It was needed.
Wow, it's tough to keep this one on the front page!
I have 2 more to check, and then I'll be done.
Tougher than I can remember, but I'm partly to fault myself for posting so many articles that hardly anybody bothers to read.
Jasper, there is only a little more than a few hours to closing. Where are your answers? If you sent them, then there is a glitch that happened because I never received them. That happened to another member previously so I advised that if they did not get my response from their PN with the answers within 24 hours then they have to realize that I must not have received them.
Submitted this morning.
Received and scored. Thank you for joining the group that prefers having fun rather than wallowing in the usual Front (Home) Page sado-masochism.
Submitted.
Thanks Dig
Okay, S.P. I deputize you to assist me in thanking those who participate. LOL
Just kidding - but thanks for helping to keep the quiz on the front page for its last day.
Received and scored. Thank you.
Sent them in
Received and scored. Thank you. You are a player who deserves a "Consistent Participant" award.
TAKE NOTE: 9 members have played - I'm expecting at least one more submission so I expect to reach my goal of double digit participation. The quiz will be closed 24 hours from now (subject to adjustment if there is a change to Daylight Saving Time), i.e. Sunday evening at about 9:30 p.m. New York time.
One final bump on the last day of the quiz. Get your answers in now, it's a nice break from the partisan bullshit of most seeds...
Thanks Snuffy, but my quizzes aren't seeds, they're fully grown.
pmubbump
pmubbump? Translation please.
Time is up - this quiz is now closed. Ten members played, reaching my goal of double digit participation. FIVE, count 'em, FIVE members got perfect scores of 20 out of 20. In order of my receipt ot their answers, First Prize was won by Snuffy, Split Personality, Dig, Kathleen and Veronica. Second Prize, with a tie score of 19 goes to Perrie and charger 383, while achieving Third Place was Vic Eldred with 18. A newcomer to the quizzes, bccrane has earned Honourable Mention with a score of 17. Congratulations to the winners, and much thanks to all who played.
I'm not sure what the next quiz will be. I've been thinking about Murder-Mysteries, Comedies, and maybe some of those who have not played for a while would like to see Best Aviation Films. However, whichever one I choose to do will be posted early Wednesday morning allowing 5 days to Sunday evening for participants to submit answers.
Let me clarify this if I've not done so before, that it is possible that a member can send their answers to me but because of some glitch in the system I do not receive them. So be sure that if I have not replied to you with your score within 24 hours of your sending them, you will know that something has happened and I did not receive your PN, so send it again.

Ask any of the winners if they think doing the quiz is fun....
Thanks Buzz, the quiz was fun (for those who want to ask).
And congrats to all who played. Well done everybody...
Nobody asks.
NOW, if anyone wants to discuss anything about this quiz or my thoughts about the next quiz or any future quizzes, or about any movies or actors or anything else connected with the movies, this is the time and place to do so, until the moment that I post the next quiz.
What's the mean air speed of a swollow?
With that aside... with the proclivity of this board maybe the next quiz should be political intrigue?
I considered doing a quiz on political movies at one time but wouldn't that be gilding the lily?
You might get a big response on that topic
The problem I found about it is that the plots were so much alike it would be hard to pick distinctive clues for the individual movies and I'd end up getting a lot of arguments. Anyway, I think I'm going to do the aviation one. One of the most popular quizzes I did was war movies so maybe it will draw more participants than usual.
Sounds good. Just remember that Cheech and Chong never did an aviation movie despite their penchant for flying high....
A different form of aviation,
