Here's a little game I like to play with my friends: name an actor, any actor and try to connect him/her to Buckaroo Banzai (much like the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, but you don't need six steps). Here's an example: Connect Johnny Depp to Buckaroo Banzai -

Johnny Depp was in Edward Scissorhands with Winona Ryder

Winona Ryder was in Bram Stoker's Dracula with Gary Oldman

Gary Oldman was in Air Force One with Harrison Ford (thus launching what we call the Harrison Ford manuever)

Harrison Ford was in The Fugitive with Tommy Lee Jones

Tommy Lee Jones was in Men In Black with Will Smith

Will Smith was in Independence Day with Jeff Goldblum

Jeff Goldblum played New Jersey in Buckaroo Banzai

Okay, here's one to try: Connect Steve Buscemi (sp?) to Buckaroo Banzai

The Worm Flies at Midnight

[–] pdndpm 19 years ago

Steve Buscemi was in Things to Do in Denver when your Dead (another good one for the long title thread) with Christopher Lloyd

[–] Simon_Perceval 18 years ago

You like to wear garters, eh? ;)

I admit I tried a little back and forth with this one:

Susan Sarandon starred in "Dead Man Walking" which also had an appearance by Clancy Brown.
Clancy Brown of course is and always will be Rawhide.

And since Toshiro Mifune was REALLY mean, I'll give you something easier now:

I've got two that might be tricky: Bill Clinton and director Ken Russell. They are there, I checked.

[–] Styx-Zadinia 18 years ago

KEn Russell directed "Tommy" which also starred Oliver Reed who appeared in "Gladiator" which also starred Tomas Arana who was in "Hunt For Red October" which starred Sean Connery who starred in "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade" - "thus launching what we call the Harrison Ford manuever" once again.

[–] Nick_Jones 18 years ago

Actually, I was thinking of:
Ken Russell directed Richard Chamberlain in The Music Lovers.
Chamberlain appeared in The Towering inferno with Paul Newman (although I don't recall that they had any scenes together).
Then follow my Newman connections.

Two connections from Uncle Ken. Cool!

The Bill Clinton connection is still up for consideration.
