Ok next question:- Which film connects a sports store worker, and a very BIG kid?

Clue the first: The BIG kid's siblings used to be very small!

Is it "Honey I blew up the kid"?

Your getting there! But where does the sorts store worker fit in and which film connects them?

Well, I'd been hoping there was a sports store worker in that film... back to the drawing board.

Not quite, as your half way there!

How about "Big", the 1988 movie with Tom Hanks? Your description reminds me of that movie.

Never seen that movie. So that would be a, Nope!

That's what I was going to suggest!

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!

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.

Well done.

Over to you!

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!

Those should be Blade Runner, 1982 and The Terminator, 1984?

Well, every other question I have posted was too easy so I thought I would make it a little harder

I would say Terminator and Runaway 1984!

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