Another way would have been to use Ari Arad producer for both The Punisher and Spider-Man or Stan Lee who was in both Spider-Man and in X-Men and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos who was is X-Men and The Punisher.

I forgot "no Stan Lee", but you're right anyway.  My path had a much long trail...your turn.

Connect William Holden to Bruce Campbell

[Reply #162 on:]

To put it briefly, Holden to Caine, Caine to Maguire, Maguire to Campbell.

If someone gets fewer than three films, disregard.

[Reply #163 on:]

Sure that works.

[Reply #164 on:]

Could you please list the names of the movies? Just for fun.

[Reply #165 on:]

Holden and Caine were both in Ashanti, which i forgot. Caine and Maguire were both in Cider House Rules and the Spider-Man for the end.

I still like my connection better. William Holden -> Ernest Borgnine (Wild Bunch) -> Kurt Russell (Escape from New York) -> Bruce Campbell (Escape from L.A.)

[Reply #166 on:]

Fine, do Matthew Perry and...Walter Matthau.  I think my imagination's broke.

[Reply #167 on:]

Matthew Perry was in Three to Tango with Neve Campbell
Neve Campbell was in Wild Things with Kevin Bacon
Kevin Bacon was in JFK with Walter Matthau

[Reply #168 on:]

boingo it has been 24 hours and you are the only one with a connection.  It should be your turn.

[Reply #169 on:]

I agree.  If anyone had anything it would have been here by now.

William Holden to Billy Crudup

[Reply #171 on:]

Billy Crudup was in World Traveler with Julianne Moore is was in Far from Heaven with Dennis Quaid. Dennis Quaid was in Wyatt Earp with Gene Hackman. Hackman was in Crimson Tide with Rick Schroder.  Schroder was in Earthling with William Holden.

[Reply #172 on:]

Well, it looks like fryfan's the only person who's going to respond so I'll give it to him, but he actually has 1 connection too many.  I had:

William Holden was in SOB with Rosanna Arquette
Rosanna Arquette was in Pulp Fiction with Tim Roth
Tim Roth was in Planet of the Apes with Helena Bonham Carter
Helena Bonham Carter was in Big Fish with Billy Crudup

[Reply #173 on:]

Another Marvel connection, Hugh Jackman and Colin Farrel.  And please don't use Stan Lee's cameos.

[Reply #174 on:]

Hugh Jackman was in Kate and Leopold with Meg Ryan
Meg Ryan was in Top Gun with Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise was in Minority Report with Colin Farrell

[Reply #175 on:]

Nice work Nixorbo, it is your turn

[Reply #176 on:]

The Melathon: Mel Brooks and Mel Gibson.

[Reply #177 on:]

Aww man, I've a long one:
Mel Brooks and Cary Elwes in Robin Hood: Men in Tights,
Cary Elwes and Jim Carrey in Liar Liar,
Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz in The Mask,
Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu in Charlies Angels,
Lucy Liu and Mel Gibson in Payback!

Now, someone annihilate me with two connections...

[Reply #178 on:]

Wasn't Patrick Stewart in Men in Tights with Mel Brooks?  If so, he was also in Conspiracy Theory with Mel Gibson.

*thoughtfully strokes Annnihilator3000*

[Reply #179 on:]

Patrick Stewart - the only logical alternative to Sean Connery for the role of King Richard.

Thunder strikes twice in one page.

[Reply #180 on:]

Okay, I'll play Nix's stupid game of choosing two actors with the same first names...

Do Johnny Depp and John(ny) Travolta.

[Reply #181 on:]

Johnny Depp was in Blow with Penelope Cruz,
Penelope Cruz was in Gothika with Hallie Berry,
Hallie Berry was in Swordfish with John Travolta.

[Reply #182 on:]

It appears nobody can best you, ev-man.

[Reply #183 on:]

Okay, here's another theme question.

Connect two of the greatest actors ever...Corey Feldman to Sylvester Stallone.

[Reply #184 on:]

Corey Feldman was in "The Lost Boys" with Jason Patric.  Patric was in "Speed 2" with Sandra Bullock.  She was in "Demolition Man" with Sylvester Stallone.

[Reply #185 on:]

I can honestly say I have never heard of Corey Feldman.

[Reply #186 on:]

Corey Feldman?  80's teen heartthrob, star of "The Lost Boys," "The Goonies," "Stand By Me," etc?  You disgust me, DT.

[Reply #187 on:]

He made his first movie appearance in the Goonies.

Charlton Heston and Mark Walhberg. 

And please don't use that Heston cameo from the remake of Planet of the Apes.  It wasn't a good remake to begin with.

[Reply #188 on:]

Oh you probably wouldn't want us to use his cameo in Wayne's World 2 either, you big, whiney baby.  Too bad for you!

Heston was in Wayne's World 2 with Mike Myers, star of Austin Powers: International man of mystery, which also starred Seth Green, who was a co-star of Marky Mark in The Italian Job.

[Reply #189 on:]

No, that is alright, I just didn't want you guys to use the most obvious connection.

Your turn DrThunder88

[Reply #190 on:]

I refuse to go next if that isn't the shortest connection.  The first person to mention that they were both in that crazy monkey movie will get the next turn.

Just kidding, try Sam Neill and Vincent D'onofrio.

[Reply #191 on:]

Sam Neill was in Jurassic Park with Jeff Goldbloom,
Jeff Goldbloom was in Independence Day with Will Smith,
Will Smith was in Men in Black with Vincent D'onofrio.

[Reply #192 on:]

Bonus points for all sci-fi films.

[Reply #193 on:]

And all big-budget summer movies, too.

Here's an easy one.  Connect a true action hero, Bruce Willis, to a pretty wussy girly-girl, Hayden Christensan.

[Reply #194 on:]

Bruce Willis was in Pulp Fiction with Samuel L. Jackson.
Samuel L. Jackson was in Star Wars Episode II with Hayden Christiensan.

[Reply #195 on:]

Yup. Your go.

There's another connection I can think of, but it's one step longer.

Bruce Willis - Fifth Element - Gary Oldman - The Professional - Natalie Portman - Star Wars II - Hayden Christensen.

[Reply #196 on:]

Okay this is probably a relatively easy one link PCCFredalike Bill Murray with cheeky chappy Will Smith

[Reply #197 on:]

Will Smith was in Enemy of the State with Gene Hackman who was in The Royal Tenenbaums with Bill Murray.

[Reply #198 on:]

Yep.

[Reply #199 on:]

Twenty-four hour yoink...

Verne Troyer and Andre the Giant.
