Cannae think what the first one is called, mind seeing it, boy becomes a drug dealer, works for mob boss, walks into the sea at the end?

Second one is Looking for Eric and third is Angels Share or something, seen it recently.

Last two, and assume first one are Ken Loach films, is that the easy tie in?

Yup they're all Ken Loach films mate.

First yin is 'Sweet 16' starring former Morton youth player Martin Compston.

'Looking for Eric' has...eh..Eric Cantona in it.

And 'Angels Share' has 2 former Utd players in it in Andy McLaren and Charlie Miller (albeit non speaking roles).

So the 2nd theme was former players starring in the films.Right Andy your go lol.

Andy · 03/9/2014 9:25 pm

Ha, I was going to say "united" players based on Eric, Andy and Chico but couldn't think of the first one.

Sakes, I'll need to add one tomorrow when on laptop.

Right, here's mine from last night.

3 films with varying degrees of difficulty, name them and then the odd one out.

Sieb22 · 05/9/2014 7:50 am

Think I have the 1st and 3rd one, and the odd one out and why. Total punt as I don't know the 2nd one (but I don't think that is the odd one out!). Will let someone have a run at it first...

huntedbyafreak · 05/9/2014 3:18 pm

Is the link/odd one out that the first 2 were filmed in Scotland but meant to be other places. Whilst the 3rd one is meant to be Scotland but filmed in Ireland?

That's what I was thinking as well, but still stuck on the 2nd film.

Both 100% correct with the reasoning. Still need the 3 films, and for bonus points the locations...

Andy, is movie 1 World War Z filmed just off the centre of Glasgow?

Yes, yes it is.

Sieb22 · 05/9/2014 9:18 pm

And the 3rd movie is Braveheart where it was filmed in Ireland.

And finally the 2nd movie, which was bugging me for ages, is An Englishman Abroad filmed at the Caird Hall Dundee!

BOOM!

Well done that man, all present and correct.

World War Z was set in Philadelphia but filmed in Central Glasgow.

An Englishman Abroad was set in Moscow but filmed in Dundee.

And Braveheart was filmed in Co. Wicklow in Ireland.

Cheers Andy!

I have had a couple of shots now so anyone else can have a go as my turn if they like.

Sieb22 · 07/9/2014 10:52 am

Ok since nobody is biting I will take another shot.

3 films, 1 connection. This time name the films, the connection AND the quote that goes before each of the screenshots.

Film 1.

Film 2.

Film 3.

Good luck and clues will be given if needed.

Tek · 07/9/2014 3:54 pm

Christ i huvnae a scooby on these yins

Sieb22 · 08/9/2014 10:10 am

Ok, will give you the clip to the 1st film. It should get you going to find the other two and the connection and quotes.

Sieb22 · 09/9/2014 10:22 am

Film 2.

Sieb22 · 09/9/2014 10:25 am

Film 3.

And the connection was they were all produced and written (as well as directing the last two films) by ZAZ. Zucker Abrahms and Zucker.

Sieb22 · 09/9/2014 10:28 am

One last bit of useless trivia, ZAZ wrote all the spoof films, Airplane, Naked Gun, Top Secret!, Kentucky Fried Movie and Hot Shots etc but Jerry Zucker also directed the movie Ghost, yes the Swayze one.

Which was also parodied in Naked Gun 2 and a half.

Thats me all geeked out. I apologise! lol.
