FROM COMBAT! DISCUSSION LIST ARCHIVES
Producer Steve Rubin discusses the COMBAT! Movie
Date: Monday, 7 October, 1996
Subject: The First Ever "COMBAT! MOVIE JEOPARDY ENTRANCE TEST"
Dear Jo and Fellow Cruisers:
Since "Combat Movie Jeopardy" involves only three players, we have to whittle down all possible entrants. So here's a entrance test - 30 fill in the blank questions (PLUS A TIE-BREAKER) with the top three entrants becoming Jeopardy contestants. I haven't finalized the prizes yet, but there will be some nice surprises, befitting the trivia buff who beats all others. The Combat Movie Jeopardy game will be played just like TV Jeopardy with Single Jeopardy, Double Jeopardy, and, of course, Final Jeopardy. I'll be Alex Trebek. We're working on the game dynamics ( we need a method so that each contestant who buzzes in sounds different than the other - any thoughts). Worse comes to worse I'll bring three flashlights. So before further delay, here are the questions:
The CATEGORY IS "COMBAT MOVIE HEROES" I'll name the character and the movie, you name the actor. Bare in mind that this same questionairre will be put in your welcome packet. So you can research the answers until then and then just copy them down on the cruise ship. Good luck. Please refrain from mentioning the test on the list - all answers will be given when we return from the cruise.
