Yes indeed, correct Matt!

Over to you...

I've read the article Juan and I think I know what you are getting at.

Maybe we could veer our quiz questions into other areas.

The film was Airplane! and the actor who reinvented himself as a comedian was Leslie Neilsen (sp?).

According to this certain performer, before the task was given to Lulu, he/she was originally slated to write and perform a title song for The Man with the Golden Gun. Who was it?

You got it! Take it away, Colin. By the by, I can't imagine what that song would sound like, can you?

I can. It definately would have been one of the more outlandish title tracks to
a Bond film. I think it would have had a rythym similar to Dead Babies off the KIller album. Just my opinion.

This sounds like The Incident In The Lift from the end of Lord of Misrule.

So the answer is: Peter Sellers.

It's very tempting to say crimson, but I believe it was GREEN

Sure! Thanks, Colin...

Okay, then -- in The Face of Fu Manchu, Fu's daughter, portrayed by the lovely Tsai Chin, masquerades as an elderly woman in order to evade detection by museum security in one particularly thrilling scene. What's the name of the elderly woman she feigns to be?
