Thanks for the numbers Hunted.

Welcome to the first game in Round 2, we have now passed the halfway point of the competition, and we are now down in the business end. The last game of the first round was the battle of the child actors, with The Goonies living up to their motto of "Never Say Die" and winning the game, but will be joined by the kids from Stand By Me. The last two movies to fall at the first hurdle in this competition were Blade Runner and The Evil Dead II, we wish them both well as they attempt to revive both franchises 35 odd years later (Blade Runner sequel and Evil Dead TV Series).

Just a quick reminder; Round 2 will have 10 games of 3 movies, and only the winner of the game will go through to Round 3 which will be the semi finals.
