insert witty comment here!!

ok now what!!!

Crap! Okay, sorry about that folks... How about we try a different tack, shall we?

Edward Fox to Bruce Willis.

Is one allowed to use IMDb? I don't even know who Edward Fox is.

reseach at IMDb is good, just not using a web site that solves it for you is bad

Stupid Mode Actived:

• Edward Fox(I) was in Lost In Space with Gary Oldman.
• Gary Oldman was in The Fifth Element with Bruce Willis.

Or we can do.....

• Edward Fox(II) was in Nighthawks with Sylvester Stalone.
• Sylvester Stalone was in Death Race 2000 with David Caradine.
• David Caradine was in Kill Bill: Volume 2 with Michael Madsen.
• Michael Madsen was in Sin City with Bruce Willis.

However, due to the fact that Pieces of Eight is not yet released, Edward Fox (III) is ineligible for gameplay.

Ellen Muth to Britt McKillip
Bonus for why I chose them.

Ellen Muth was in Dolores Claiborne with Kathy Bates
Bates was in Fried Green Tomatoes with Julia Roberts

Ron Howard to Don Knotts

I was referring to Edward Fox (I) who was in The Day of the Jackal (1973) as the title character, "The Jackal". Bruce Willis played the title character of "The Jackal" in the 1997 remake of the film, titled "The Jackal".

Ron Howard was in The Shootist with John Wayne.
John Wayne was in True Grit with Robert Duvall.

Let's try this... Samuel L. Jackson to Richard Roundtree. (Shaft to Shaft)

They're both in the movie Shaft you silly goose.

Ah well... Do you have one for us, since mine was so easy?

Actually, Richard Roundtree was in the 2000 remake as Shaft's uncle, but I'm assuming you wanted us to NOT use Shaft:

Sam Jackson was in Sphere with Dustin Hoffman
Hoffman was in Outbreak with Morgan Freeman
and Freeman was in Se7en with Richard Roundtree


How 'bout John Schneider to Johnny Knoxville?

The Bonus Answer was: Both were in DEAD LIKE ME.

Which John Schneider? There's 4 of them and 2 of them aren't actors.

I'm in one of those days.

I'm gonna go ice my brain.

(three questions. did we step up the challenge here at some point? UTM, did you create this game merely to further your useless knowledge? and lastly, do directors and/or producers count?)

Danny Devito to Tommy Lee Jones

1. Seems like the challenge levels have been fluctuating a lot. Sometimes they're incredibly hard, sometimes they're relatively easy. Myself, I've been trying to toss out some of each so everyone doesn't get bored with it.

2. I don't think I can take credit for creating this game. The whole Kevin Bacon thing was really the start of this, and I just heard about it somewhere. I'm not trying to get anything out of this game, aside from some enjoyment. I'm just that big of a movie geek, I guess.

3. The standing rule has been that we can only use people who've appeared in movies (and TV movies don't count). You could use directors like Peter Jackson or Alfred Hitchcock since they've done cameos in their own films, but you couldn't use Uwe Boll because he hasn't appeared in any films.

That said, Danny Devito was in Batman Returns with Michael Gough
and Michael Gough was in Batman Forever with Tommy Lee Jones
