Movie Question 4
Bruce Lee's "Return of the Dragon" - Subsequent to having his entire army defeated at the hands of Tang Lung, the mob boss, using advice from Mr. Ho, decided to hire three skilled martial-artists to defeat Tang. Which of the following was NOT one of the places that the fighters hailed from?
The correct answer is 'Brazil'
According to Mr. Ho, he had two martial artist friends who could help them defeat Tang Lung. One was a European Karate champ, from an unspecified nation, and the other was a Japanese Karate master. The mob boss came up with the idea of hiring Colt, the American Karate champion to defeat Tang Lung. The only fear Mr. Ho had, was that he thought the fighters wouldn't get along because of their different backgrounds. Sure enough, when they arrived, the Japanese fighter and the European one were already attacking one another. When Colt arrived, he alone was given the specific task of killing Tang Lung, but faced criticism from the Japanese fighter. Colt showed off his skill by quickly defeating the gutsy Japanese fighter.

'Neverland' Is Believing... - In one of the last scenes, where Mr. Barrie brings the 'Peter Pan' play to Sylvia's home, Emma Du Maurier (Julie Christie) starts clapping when Peter Pan asks them to clap if they belive in fairies. Julie Christie didn't know what to do in this scene so she just started clapping, the boys were shocked that Julie had started clapping, so the reaction on their faces was real.
The correct answer is 'True'
I found this in the goofs section of IMDB which really made me laugh. It all looks really real and I found it quite good because it shows that the play of 'Peter Pan' has not only loosened up the mood of the higher class people at the first production, but also of Emma Du Maurier.
