Re: Science Fiction Trivia
How about "Big", the 1988 movie with Tom Hanks? Your description reminds me of that movie.

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Ok, so we have the first part of the clue with Honey, I Blew Up The Kid.
Clue the Second: The sports store worker was in the television movie Stone Fox.
So what Movie connects the two? Extra points for what that connection is!

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Flight of the Navigator connects the two.
Honey I Blew Up The Kid (starring Joshua and Daniel Shalikar as "big kid" Adam Szalinski) was directed by Randall Kleiser, who also directed Flight of the Navigator.
Flight of the Navigator stars Joey Kramer, who is no longer an actor and was last reported as working in a Source For Sports store in his home town.
The Shalikars are also no longer in acting.
Phew.

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
If that isn't THE most convoluted question/answer in this topic I don't know what is!!!
In the mid 80s two films were released at the same time that dealt with murderous robots. One was high budget with stars galore and is now relatively obscure. The other was low budget with nobody of note in it and is now a classic, with its main star an iconic figure in Hollywood.
Name both films and the year of release please!

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Those should be Blade Runner, 1982 and The Terminator, 1984?

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Wild guess: Short Circuit, 1986 and ... actually, 1986 has a lot of now-obscure killer robot films. Deadly Friend?
