Viking Stationery Movies Quiz

[Thumper GT]

These are visual clues, so a bit difficult to pose here, but I'll try. I'm stuck on four. Each visual clue should suggest the title of a film, so a dark floor covered by carefully placed sheets of yellow paper (the stationery) is a yellow brick road, hence The Wizard of Oz:

1) Two rolls of sellotape, bridged across the top by a ruler, with a "paperclip man" being driven over by the second roll - obviously a vehicle of some kind and someone getting squashed.

2) What appears to be a volume dial (titled above as Volume II ) with the knob turned beyond 10 to a position marked 11.

3) Five staple-removers, looking remarkably like crocodiles or fearsome fish of some kind, all facing to the right on a white background

4) A section of road with a dashed white line down the middle. On one side stand three highlighting pens and a bottle of correction fluid. On the other, three tall marker pens and a fourth highlighter. A road movie of some kind, I guess, possibly with 8 characters!

Any suggestions gratefully received.

2) Is from the film " This is Spinal Tap "

[johnalex]

3. Jaws ?

[Quizmonkey]

2 - definitely Spinal Tap!

[Thumper GT]

Thanks for the Spinal Tap, which seems to be correct. (Never saw the film - perhaps I should)

"Jaws" is the answer to another of the clues, but not this one, but thanks anyway johnalex.

[Avatar]

1. Austin Powers? the steam roller scene?

3. Piranha?

[Thumper GT]

Thanks Avatar, Piranha is correct. Sadly, Austin Powers is not - not even as a man of mystery.

Thumper GT do you by any chance hve the answer to the one with the red/white dash bridge or crossing with the 3 ferocious fish types beneath, one holding an oar/paddle or bit of body in its mouth? Would be grateful for any help & if I find any of the others I'll post back. Thanks!

1 Rolls of sellotape is Terminator we are still struggling with the road one and the mouth with the staple removers any ideas

[Thumper GT]

Thanks gromitc - Terminator is spot on.

The one you're looking for krackajak is Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

[Thumper GT]

One more to add to the list:

5) This depicts a row of three marker pens, flanked by a bottle of correction fluid on one side and a tube of Pritt on the other. They're stood up against a "wall" of graph paper, with a vertical ruler to one side. It looks a bit like an ID parade, or perhaps a police mugshot.

Usual Suspects

[Thumper GT]

Thanks gromitc - I hope you got my reply about Moonraker

[gromitc]

Yes thanks we are still struggling with your number 4 have to log off now and go and collect the children

[mrssltaylor]

Got your no 4 yet?

[krackajak]

Did eventually get the Indiana Jones one, sheer guess though, process of elimination, tried loads. Thank you though Thumper GT.

The remaining one you are looking for (with the markers either side of a dotted road line) is.......

RESERVOIR DOGS

[Jules001]

can anyone help me on my last one please, it is the one with the person stepping into the red boxes - many thanks

[Thumper GT]

Hi Jules001. If that's the one I think it is, then you're looking for Saturday Night Fever.

Great stuff krackajak. Even now, I can't see how that one works, but that wraps up the lot. Many thanks to everyone who's helped out.

[Jules001]

thanks Thumper GT that was the one - all finished now!

[krackajak]

You're welcome Thumper GT, thanks for your help also.

With Reservoir Dogs I remembered I had seen a poster from the movie of them in that manner with all the guys involved straddling a white line in the road you know Mr Pink, Mr Black et al., so I gave it a go.

Good Luck to everyone that entered!! One of us will hopefully win lol.
