Movie Star Sleuth

[CreepingDeath]

Let's play a game. I will name 2 actors and 2 respective movies. You tell me how these 2 actors are connected, via co-stars/movies.

For example, I might say Sylvester Stallone (Rocky) and Shelly Winters (Poseidon Adventure). Your answer "links" could be:

1. Sylvester Stallone, Carl Weathers in Rocky
2. Carl Weathers, Arnold in Predator
3. Arnold, Jim Brown in Running Man
4. Jim Brown, Earnest Borgnine in Dirty Dozen
5. Earnest Borgnine, Shelly Winters in Poseidon Adventure.

There may be more than one correct answer. One answer may be shorter than another. If you get a correct answer, then list 2 of your own choice.

I'll start with John Wayne (Chisum) and Bill Murray (Ghostbusters). There should be 4 "links" to solving this one.

[TrimChris]

Kevin Bacon is always a link.

[koops]

As is rutger hauer. Although that is also a sign of a bad movie

[CreepingDeath]

You guys are cheatin' with those 2 names. ;)

Ok, I get this one started.........

John Wayne, Ben Johnson in Chisum
Ben Johnson, ___________ in Red Dawn

[koops]

Patrick Swayzee co starred in redawn and was in donnie darko with Drew Barrymoore who was alongside Bill Murray In Charlies Angels who was in ghostbusters Is That Right?

NOW HERE'S MY ONE,

KEVIN BACON (WILDTHINGS) AND ARNOLD SWARZENEGGER (CONAN THE BARBARIAN)

there should be two other links.

[CreepingDeath]

Patrick Swayzee co starred in redawn and was in donnie darko with Drew Barrymoore who was alongside Bill Murray In Charlies Angels who was in ghostbusters Is That Right?

Your answer was close. The final link should have included a co-star with Bill Murray in Ghostbusters.

Like this:

John Wayne, Ben Johnson in Chisum
Ben J, Harry Dean Stanton in Red Dawn
Harry Dean, Sigourney Weaver in Alien
Sigourney, Bill Murray in Ghostbusters

Now, to ponder your riddle.........

[CreepingDeath]

KEVIN BACON (WILDTHINGS) AND ARNOLD SWARZENEGGER (CONAN THE BARBARIAN)

there should be two other links.

Ok here is one possible solution;

Kevin Bacon, Matt Dillon in Wild Things
Matt, C. Thomas Howell in The Outsiders
C. Thomas, James Earl Jones in Soul Man
James Earl, Arnold in Conan

Now solve this........Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers) and Arnold Swarzenegger (Terminator 1 or 2)
