Just for the record, must the actors have starred in all three movies in both trilogies? (Also, do larger collections - quadrilogies, whatever-you'd-call-collections-of-five, and so on - count? [edit]If so, Sylvester Stallone - Three "Rambo"s, and five "Rocky"'s - I think?[/edit])

Must star in all 3 films.

Yeah sylvester stallone was another one, and one left now.

Clue: co-star with sylvester in one of the above films

c'mon, next question, its been over a week.

Sysiphus · 24-09-2005 12:35pm

Ok, I'll start the ball rolling again with a simple one:

What does the word UTOPIA actually mean?

RuggieBear · 24-09-2005 1:26pm

perfect?

FitinIrish · 24-09-2005 4:52pm

An ideally perfect place.

What does BMW stand for?

Hagar · 24-09-2005 5:00pm

Bavaria Motor Werke.

Given the success of their owners' in pulling women it also translates as Black Man's Willy

Sysiphus · 24-09-2005 7:23pm

No New Q's till the answer is in!!!!

Thomas Moore wrote "UTOPIA" as a perfect society (even though there were slaves there!) he took the word from Hebrew, the word actually means - impossible or unattainable, hence his use of it for his society!

BMW - Bayerische Motoren Werke - Bayerishe Motor Works.

New Q.

Name the original and First Blakes 7

irishboy99_ · 12-10-2005 2:53am

Zebra3 · 12-10-2005 6:50am

Lublin is in Poland, is it not?

No idea about Blakes7.

irishboy99_ · 15-10-2005 2:20am

Correct

Zebra3 · 15-10-2005 4:22pm

Can I ask a new question or does someone have to answer the Blakes7 ceist?

Capt'n Midnight · 19-10-2005 10:24pm

It was supposed to be Blake + 7 but there were budget cuts.

Blake

Avon
the big bloke
the pretty one
the coloured one
cowardly guy
orac or zen - the computer

Just to get this out of the way, bump the thread and encourage another question, this is Wikipedia's take on it:

"When Terry Nation originally scripted the show, he intended Blake to have seven companions, hence the name Blake's 7. Due to budget constraints, however, Blake's crew never included more than six human actors at one time (including Blake, who was now counted as one of the seven). The show subtly addressed this discrepancy by counting one or more computers as members of the crew. Thus, the original seven were:
Humans: Roj Blake, Kerr Avon, Jenna Stannis, Vila Restal, Olag Gan, Cally (6)
Computers: Zen (1)
By the end of the series, the lineup had become
Humans: Kerr Avon, Vila Restal, Del Tarrant, Dayna Mellanby, Soolin (5)
Computers: Orac, Slave (2)"
