Okay, here is a new trivia game. The object is to answer which music performer was in the particular movie listed. The performer doesn't have to necessarily be 80's, nor does the movie. One or the other or both will have some kind of ties to the 80's. The artist or artists can be either be performing music onstage in the movie or acting in the movie. Good luck!


1. The Wedding Singer

2. The Hunger

3. La Bamba

4. Strangeland

14. Dogs In Space

15. The Wiz

16. Running Out Of Luck

17. The Wall

18. Detriot Rock City

P.S,

Hmmmm-Somewhere along the way, I crossed the 300-post mark. Congrats to me! :D

On #8 I was actually thinking of Josie Cotton, but you are right about Elizabeth Daily so that one will count. All the rest are right. This is what is left now: 3, 6, 10, 16, and 19.

#3 Richie Valens (Lou Diamond Philips?)
#10 Sid Vicious and Nancy Splungen

...I guess... :D

Hint for ya wave. #3 was a lead singer for an 80's band, then had a big career in the late 90's with another band. #4 was a wife of a famous 90's grunge bands lead singer.

Oh S*it...I should have better kept my big mouth shut tight... ;)

On #3, I really don´t know...guess that´s because it´s 7:40 am here and my mind is still in 'doze mode'... :D
On #4...never answered that (I hope...), but if it isn´t Courtney Love, then I also don´t know.

I really should stop that habit of getting up before I´m awake... :rolleyes: :)

#3 Brian Setzer as Eddie Cochran (great casting) and Marshall Crenshaw as Buddy Holly (again, great casting)

#19 AC/DC

Sorry, wave I meant to put #10 instead of #4. #10 is right Courtney Love. I'm not keeping up to good. LOL

#3 and #19 is right, dj! Now it just leaves #6 and #16 to answer.

3) La Bamba - Los Lobos
10) Sid and Nancy - Courtney Love
16)Running out of Luck- Mick Jagger

Correct, caligula. I forgot Los Lobos was in there. I was thinking of Brian Setzer, but that is also correct. You answered the other two correct also. Now that leaves #6. This one will be very tough for a lot of you. Here is one hint: the singer or band was performing in a bar that Thelma and Louise went into.

I used the Internet Movie Database and I came up with Charlie Sexton for #6. Does my answer count?

Sincerely,

John "outofplacechild" Kilduff

Correct, John! This finishes this game.

Dang, Stacy, I missed this one!! It looks like fun, too!! Maybe when you get time you could make up another, or one something like it? :)

I come up with these trivia quizzes every Friday evening for the weekend. I will also add a new 80's biography too in the biography forum.

Kiss member Gene Simmons starred in Runaway (1984).

I think Simmons starred as a mastermind of a group of rebellious robots in that movie.

Wasen't he also in Wanted Dead or Alive? -Not sure on name of movie exactlty? With Rutger Hauer. :)

Don't forget the B-rated movie he was in with Kiss in the early days: "Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park".

Or Meatloaf in the Roadie and The Fight Club

Josie Cotton is totally right. I remember going out to buy the 12" right after I saw Valley Girl.

"Johnny, are you Queer, boy?" *LOL* Great song. :D

I saw it as a kid, so I didn't remember the whole thing, but every time I ask someone if they know it, they say they've never heard of it!! I began to think it must have been a Hardy Boys episode. TY!!
