6 Degree's of Kevin Bacon Anyone??

Lloyd

Anyone interested in having a go?

A bit of background:

You have to get from one actor to Kevin Bacon (or from one actor to another) by linking them through the movies they've starred in, in six steps or less. Simple enough?

e.g: John Cusack

1. John Cusack was in Con Air with Nicolas Cage
2. NC was in Gone in 60 Seconds with Robert Duval
3. RD was in The Godfather II with Robert DeNiro
4. RDN was in The Deer Hunter with Meryl Streep
5. MS was in The River Wild with Kevin Bacon

or 2 actors: Richard Gere to Wesley Snipes

1. Richard Gere was in Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts
2. JR was in Flatliners with Keifer Sutherland
3. KS was in The Vanishing with Sandra Bullock
4. SB was in Demolition man with Wesley Snipes

Anyone care to make suggestions? the person who gets it has to name a new one. So here's one to start it off:

Kevin Bacon to Kevin Spacey

Good luck!

Carpo

1. Kevin Bacon was in A Few Good Men with Tom Cruise
2. Tom Cruise was in Austin Powers: Goldmember with Kevin Spacey

How about Eddie Murphy to Morgan Freeman?

Lloyd

Good Job!

1. Morgan Freeman was in Shawshank with Tim Robbins
2. TR was in The Player with Malcolm McDowell
3. MMcD was in I Spy with Eddie Murphy


Bring it on!!!

What about Angelina Jolie to Burt Reynolds?

JV in U-Turn with Joaquin Pheonix
JP in 8MM with Nicholas Cage
NC in Gone in 60 Seconds with Angelina Jolie

Wallah

How about Clint Eastwood with John Cusack?

This site works out it for u. John Cusack is only two degrees. Its very hard to find a six.

John Cusack was in Journey of Natty Gann, The (1985) with Gary Chalk Gary Chalk was in Trapped (2002) with Kevin Bacon.

ObeyGiant

Remember when this game was fun?
Remember when it didn't end with people posting fun-removing sites?
Those were the days.

Lloyd

My sentiments exactly Obey.

Can we not just use our knowledge and love of movies to have a bit of fun? Anyone got any other suggestions?

I used to play a game with my mates where you name 2 actors (actors being a general unisex term) and you have to get a/the movie that they were in together. It's good if you can make it as obscure as possible.

Anyway, I'm just trying to get the old brain working so if anyone is into having a bit of a laugh and a challenge that doesn't involve "Googling" then let's go....

To start how about Michael Douglas and John Goodman

And your time starts.........now...

Lloyd

The bullman mentioned Colm Meany, let's see now.....

1. Colm Meany was in Con Air with John Malkovich (& John Cusask now that I think of it...)
2. JM was in Being JM with John Cusack
3. JC was in American Sweethearts with Julia Roberts
4. JR was in Flatliners with Kevin Bacon.

whoopi doooooooo!

ok then how about, Charlize Theron (sent from the Lord) to Chris Farley?

ps. If anyone is interested you could have done Angelina to Burt Reynolds in 2:

Burt in Deliverence with Jon Voight
JV in Tomb Raider with Angie.

sceptre

Wow, this is something of a blast from the past. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can remember this starting and then Empire taking it on as a feature.

The_Bullman

Charlize Theron was in the Cider house Rules with Michael Caine
Michael Caine was in Ausin Powers 3 with Mike Myers
Mike Myers was in Waynes world 2 with Chris Farley

Took a fair bit of thought to get that

The_Bullman

Oh yeah

Mel Brooks to Martin Laurence

Jim

right....

Mel brooks was in spaceballs with bill pullman
Bill Pullman was in independance day with will smith
Will Smith was in..... oh... i believe... Bad Boys with martin lawrence

oh yeah:cool:

alright u whoes....

Damien Lewis to Reese Witherspoon:)

Winters

Ok,

Damien Lewis is great.

Damien Lewis was in Band Of Brothers with Matthew Settle
Matthew Settle was in U-571 with Harvey Keitel
Harvey Keitel was in Little Nicky with Reese Witherspoon

OH YEAH! eat that Jim! Told you id get it!

Jim

alrighty.....

val kilmer to.......emilo estafez

Winters

Val Kilmer was in 'Heat' with Robert De Niro
Robert De Niro was in 'Jackie Brown' with Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson was in 'Loaded Weapon 1' with Emilio Estevez

Oh teah baby! come on, give me another

Gordon

As an aside, somebody actually did a scientific experiment to see if one could link another person in the world to the other by so many steps. He "proved" in the 60s - a certain number of steps to connect anyone in America to anyone in America. Just recently his provings were quoshed as his theory was tainted. Anyway, anyone know (off topic) a link to the latest findings?

Sorry, not very good with films but could there be any connection with.. lets say... Ron Jeremy and Jennifer Lopez? That would be a good 'un!

Lloyd

Actually there is!

Ron Jeremy was in The Rules of Attraction with Eric Stoltz
ES was in Anaconda with Jenifer Lopez.

Only 2 hops too.

I would be interested to see how many steps it would take to link someone to someone else, again if anyone knows where to find the latest info, throw it up.

Winters

Allright, heres one my sister came up with:
Eminem to Sandra Bulluck (Sp?). Jim says he will get it. Doubt it

Loomer

I love this game

1. Sandra Bullock - Chris Penn (Sean's Bro) "Murder By Numbers"

2. Chris Penn - Jackie Chan "Rush Hour"

3. Jackie Chan - Jennifer Love Hewitt "The Tuxedo"

4. J Love Hewitt - Mekhi Phifer "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer"

5. Mekhi Phifer - Eminem "8 Mile"

Ta da. I'm sure it can be done with less links though.

There was one link there for Michael Douglas - John Goodman. They were in an excellent fim together with the lovely Liv Tyler "One Night at McCools"

How about an easy one Owen Wilson to Ian Holm?

sceptre

Eminem to Sandra Bullock is (surprisingly) pretty easy - Steve Monroe was in Miss Congeniality and 8 Mile (took me about a day after seeing the movie to figure where I'd seen the chap before).

That's:
Sandra Bullock was in Miss Congeniality with Steve Monroe
Steve Monroe was in 8 Mile with Eminem

(or there's probably a long-winded weay through Pret-a-Porter)


Adam Sandler and Charlton Heston?
(yes, you can use Steve Buscemi as a link which, I suspect, should make it easier)

Loomer

Wow sceptre excellent explanation. Thats exactly what one of those aforementioned sites gives

The_Bullman

Adam Sandler was in The wedding singer with drew barrymore
Drew Barrymore was in Waynes World 2 with Charlton Heston

Now I am not sure if it was waynes world or waynes world 2 that they both where in. Whichever it was Drew Barrymore was a swedish seceratary and charlton heston did the garage scene where wayne says something like, couldn't we get a serious actor here, scheeze(or words to that effect)

Now if they are not in the same movie, just use mike myers or dana carvy to link


And Winters and Jimeatsmenu. Is band of brothers a movie? I think that you will have to rethink your answer accordingly

Peter Sellers to Kelsey Grammer is my one for the evening

Jim

hey hey, did i say anythin bout band of brothers??

damien lewis was also in robinson crusoe with Pierce Broson, and winters also used oz in his answer.

so therefore i delcare winters answer for damein lewis to reese witherspoon void, and also demand an apology from the bull for slander.

[peter sellars to kelsey grammer, hummm.......]

jimmeh:)

The_Bullman

Wouldn't an apology be an admission of liability?

just in case I will not apologise

but back to the game...

Lloyd

Having a bit of trouble with Sellers to Kelsey....

Let me see,

1. Peter Sellers was in Dr. Strangelove with James Earl Jones
2. JEJ was in Coming to America with Eddie Murphy
3. EM was in Showtime with Robert De Niro
4. RDN was in 15 Minutes with Kelsey Grammer

I'm loving my work!!

How about James Gandolfini to Cary Grant??

By the way Loomer, Good Job on "One Night At McCool's" what a class movie! and that car washing scene......Jeez, need I say more??

pickarooney

First attempt at Gandolfini to Grant, bear with me
