    Default Game #455 - Hellboy

    Game version 1

    One picture from one movie:

    Rule 1:
    NO IMAGE HOSTING ON EXTERNAL SERVERS.
    Images for the games need to be ATTACHED to the post, and thus uploaded to our server.

    Rule 2:
    TWO GUESSES PER PERSON PER POSTED PICTURE!!! Those two guesses are not allowed to be in the same post, NOR in a consecutive post. I.e. you can post one guess, then have to wait for someone else to guess: your second guess is not allowed to be immediately following your first guess.

    Rule 3:
    The WINNER of the game can start a new game IN A NEW THREAD.
    NO ONE ELSE (unless yielded so by the winner).

    Rule 4:
    Once there's a winner, PLEASE post the correct name into the thread (spelled correctly, and capitalized correctly, and not in italics or bold face.)

    Rule 5:
    The correct title format is: "Game" / space / "#" / number.
    Example: " Game #12" (without the ")
    (no space between the # sign and the number!)

    Rule 6:
    The film selected should be one that has had an international, theatrical release.
    I.e. a made-for-TV movie only shown in the USA would hardly be a fair entry, as
    we have international players also.

    Rule 7:
    These complete rules (1 to 7) have to be copy & pasted into each new game's first post.


    We've had a string of older movies, so here's something a bit newer to mix things up. In fact, this one is more recent than the last 10 games, so there's a nice clue to start you off.

    Not Flags of our Fathers or Jacob's Ladder. But one of those films was released in the same decade.

    Hint: Scores higher than 80 on the Tomatometer.

    Looks like Krute might be on to something.

    Last shot for the night, and another hint:

    The lead actor and his wife have been married for over 30 years, a Hollywood rarity!

    That's either weird fire or a lot of feathers falling...

    It's just fire. But the screen grab does look a little strange.

    Hint: Based on a book (of sorts).

    And we have a winner! Hellboy is correct.

    Of all the "let's turn a comic book into a movie" efforts this is among the few that I really liked, mainly due to the Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman combo. Here are the rest of the shots:

    Ah! I was just thinking the other day that I should rent Hellboy and see what it's like.

    Enjoyable....surprisingly so, I'm not usually fond of these, but this one was a well made & enjoyable "popcorn-movie".
