    Time for a circular reference quiz...

    So what is a circular reference quiz I hear you ask? It's one where each answer forms a link to the next question until the last question references the first. This means you need to answer the questions in turn, as jumping ahead won't help you. This ones fairly easy for anyone who grew up in the 80s, but you young'uns may need to crack open the imdb.


    1) In this film, "Zimmerman flew", but who knew and what was the movie?

    2) The actor from the previous answer starred in an action/comedy series about a bumbling superhero. Who played the superheros girlfriend?

    3) The superheros girlfriend co-starred in an action movie (filmed in NZ btw, and a damn good book) where she played a Mossad agent who was helping 2 brothers who are CIA agents clear their name. What was the movie and book?

    4) The actor who played one of the brothers starred in a movie that was a remake of an older detective series. Name the movie and the band that recorded the remixed theme tune?

    5) This band had another hit that had the same name as a song by a seriously cool Texan blues/rock band. Name the song and the Texan band.

    6) What was the most ironic thing about the band that had to do with its signature image (not really a linked question, I just want to know if you're attentive)?

    7) A blind blues man with awesome guitar skills covered one of the Texan bands songs about a bit of missing clothing. Name the song and the blind guitarist.

    8) This blind guitarist featured in an action movie where bottles were thrown against a chickenwire covered stage. Name the movie.

    9) The main star of the previous movie also starred in a star studded gang related picture that launched a number of successful careers. What movie was it?

    10) One of the stars of that picture is a short, aging psycho who treats his woman like a beey-atch, likes leaping on couches and has some weird-ass religious beliefs. Who is this nut-ball and in what movie did he co-star about a military academy with the star of the movie in question number one?

    1. Turk 182 and no idea
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I've always hated questions like this, especially in exams when I was unable to answer the first question out of the 5.
    As for answering the above questions: (draws a blank on Q1)
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.
