SERVE #3

 Well, Big Sis (aka Moe) got the last one right: The Last of the Mohicans,” just proving it never hurts to take a guess. Hell, that’s what we all did when asked if the answer was positive or negative in Algebra.

And Big Sis (aka Moe) has supplied us with Serve #3:

What movie is the following quote from?

“I got red, I got green, I got yellow… I’m out of purple, but I do have one Gold Circle coin left… the condom of champions… the one and only… nothin’ is gettin’ through this sucker. Whaddya say, hmm?”

Cheers,

MK

UPDATE:

I think Callie is stalking this blog, seeing as how she returned with the right movie “Pretty Woman” before i even had time to wager a guess. so congrats Callie, Serve #3 is yours! And i’m now patiently waiting for your Serve.

Cheers,

MK

Serve #2

From a classic you should all see at some point. Here comes serve #2:

Colonial Soldier: “There is a war on. How is it that you are heading west?”

Main Character: “Well, we kind of face to the North, and real subtle-like, turn left.”

All right everyone. Who said it and what movie was it?

cheers,

MK

Update:

So it seems SK and JK know the answer, but are afraid to tell us. and Callie seems to think this is biased? Hmm. Anyways, here’s a bit more info to help those on the edge:

In this movie, Madelline Stowes character is the daughter of the British General, who is trying to defend Fort William Henry from the French…

MK

UPDATE:

the correct answer came in from left field. “The Last of the Mohicans” was correctly guessed by Big Sis (aka Moe), proving that you have to be in it to win it.

Serve #1

So here we go. going by the rules posted below, (and in the header) here is an example of how more or less the match should run:

What movie is this quote from:

“I love the smell of Napalm in the morning!“

Let the game begin. I’ll post hints later if no one has a clue.

cheers,

MK

UPDATE: The answer to Serve #1:

Apocolypse Now, Or Apocolypse Now Redux

Congrats to JK for getting it right, and knowing that along with the 1979 release, Redux (released in 2001) was also a correct answer. But seeing as how he didn’t add anything to return with, I’ll do the Honors:

1. In the movie, the line is said by Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore, who plays Lt. Kilgore?

2. What was Lt. Kilgore’s reasoning for battling on that beach that morning?

Cheers,

MK

Final update:

1. Robert Duvall

2. Surfing.

Duvall’s main objective of attacking the beach that morning was for the chance to catch some waves. he did not surf however, but made two of his soldiers.

THE RULES

So here are the rules to this silly little game:

1. The Serve: Email me with a quote from a movie and i’ll post them regularly. Email me at marckelly.blog@gmail.com (link on right column as well).

2. The Return: The serve is answered via the comments section. Simple huh? But we’re on the honor system here. If you don’t know the answer, don’t look it up, there will be more!

3. The Volley: In order to keep the game going I’ll need extra hints about the said movie in question. Other tidbits to help on those tough quotes, or stupid facts that you may not have known. For instance, who said the quote? What was his/her real name? When did the movie come out? And even add other quotes from the movie. And this all gets played in the comments.

4. Scoring: Right now there are no points or prizes. However, I am working on ways to spice up the game and make it really worth our while. Points and prizes are on the horizon so stay tuned.

How Movie Quote Tennis started.

I’m a twin. Fraternal if you’re wondering. And we’ve always been competitive. I don’t remember when this started, possibly in college when we didn’t live together for the first time. One would call the other and randomly quote some obscure line from a movie, hoping that the other wouldn’t get it right. This went on for some time, well, ever since we started it. I would get a voicemail at the ass crack of dawn with something like:

“when you want a woman, you take a woman.”

i would call him back and say something like:

“if you’re gonna call me at 5am with a quote, it had better be something better than ‘The Three Amigos!’”

So very recently, my other half calls me with a great idea: (he’s in LA by the way, i’m in NYC) Movie Quote Tennis! It Started as a simple email game between us, and for fun we threw our older sis in the mix.

After realizing that the emails were a bit time consuming sometimes, and that I usually got the answers right, I decided to start the blog.

I hope you enjoy it, and invite anyone you know who wants to join.

The rules post to follow.

Cheers,

MK
