MOVIE QUIZ
“Jurassic World Dominion,” opening this weekend, is allegedly the final film in the “Jurassic World” trilogy, and it also wraps up the story begun with the original “Jurassic Park” trilogy. That makes it the sixth movie in the blockbuster dinosaur series based on Michael Crichton’s bestselling 1990 novel.
It’s not just any movie that gets five or more sequels. Let’s see how much you know about other flicks numbered six, from various long-running cinematic sagas.
1. The sixth entry in the James Bond series, “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” is full of “onlys,” ironic considering it followed “You Only Live Twice.” Which of these “onlys” is NOT true about the film: It was the only one to feature George Lazenby as 007; the only film to star an
Australian actor as Bond; the only James Bond who was in his 20s; the only time James Bond gets married; or the only movie to have its lead actor receive a Golden Globe nomination for his performance?
2. Sylvester Stallone guest starred as himself on “This Is Us,” appearing in a Ron Howard-directed film alongside Justin Hartley’s actor character, Kevin Pearson, who tells Stallone he was his father’s favorite actor. Who fittingly played Stallone’s son in the sixth “Rocky” picture, “Rocky Balboa”?
3. “Revenge of the Sith” — the sith, er, sixth movie released in the “Star Wars” saga, if the third in the series’ timeline — is the lowest grossing of the nine Skywalker films, when adjusted for inflation. True or false?
4. “Harry Potter and the Half-blood
Prince,” sixth in the franchise, is the only one of the eight films nominated for which Oscar: Best Cinematography, Best Original Song or Best Picture?
5. The sixth movie (so far) in this next series is the only one without the word “Transformers” in the title. What is it?
6. What “Clueless” star made their big screen debut in 1995’s “Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers” (aka “Halloween 6”), even though “Clueless” was released first?
7. “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country” was the last movie to feature all of the original TV show’s cast. But which actor who co-starred here as a one-eyed Klingon general had his most iconic film role (as another military man) in a movie that won the best picture Oscar in 1966, the same year “Star Trek” originally debuted on TV?
8. “Alien: Covenant” was the sixth film in the “Alien” series, not counting the two “Alien vs. Predator” offshoots. Although set in 2104, the space crew’s mission begins after they receive a mysterious transmission of a classic song by what iconic 20th century folk-pop singer, who was born in New Mexico despite calling another state home in the song?
9. Yes or no? “Mission: Impossible — Fallout,” the sixth and most recent in the “M: I” franchise is also the best reviewed and highest rated on Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB and Metacritic.
10. What action star made his first appearance in the “Fast & Furious” series with 2013’s “Fast & Furious 6”?
