Sunday Night Trivia: ...Bang, Bang

As a companion to last week's trivia question, and as a salute to America since the Fourth of July is this week, we have explosions. This week identify the movies. And as a bonus, tell me what is blowing up in numbers 1, 4, 6, 7, 9, and the actors on 1, 8, and 10 (to get the bonus you will need to be VERY specific, feel free to research). (remember, you can click on the image to enlarge it).

This is a totaly guy theme. :o) I'm not going to do well here, but I'll give a few of them a try.

1. I know I've seen this movie but can't remember a darn thing about it.
2. October Sky?
3.
4. Hunt for Red October?
5. Platoon?
6.
7. Independence Day - They are blowing up the White House
8. Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise)
9. Star Trek?
10. Robin Hood: Price of Theives (Kevin Costner)

Oh well, I'm a failure. :o) I gave it a good try.

Just because you don't know the answers doesn't mean you are a failure, like you said, this is really more of a "guy" thing.

1.
2. (Not October Sky)
3.
4. Hunt For Red October (bonus not answered yet)
5. (Not Platoon)
6.
7. Independence Day (The White House is being Blown up Kim gets 1 bonus point)
8. Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks Kim gets 1 bonus point, [not Gary Sinise] although a good guess)
9. (Not Star Trek)
10. Robin Hood : Price of...wait a minute, it's Prince of Theives *smile* (Kevin Costner Kim gets 1 bonus point)

So that is 4 points and three bonus points for Kim, not bad for a girl *snicker*

Oh, Forrest was carrying out Bubba when the blast happened. Ok, sorry, so, that would be Mykelti Williamson then. He carried out Gary Sinise first.

1. Fight Club (Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter, blowing one of several headquarters of major credit card companies)
2. (Not October Sky, it's a comedy)
3. Stargate (shooting at the good guys in front of Ra's Temple [but I didn't ask for this one so no penalty])
4. Hunt For Red October (Yeah, that is the sub, but I am looking for the name of the sub)
5. Apocalypse Now (during the famous Ride of the Valkyries Scene)
6. (Not X-men, it deals with SETI, kinda)
7. Independence Day (The White House is being Blown up)
8. Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks and Mykelti Williamson)
9. Starship Troopers (See question 4)
10. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (Kevin Costner)

So we are still missing 2 movies (i have included quick and dirty hints) and 2 bonus points (the ones that you need to research)

Wahooooo! Great quiz Will, just missed out on the Starship troopers one. The stripes was a guess, and Contact I got from the clue you gave!

Nice one but bloomin hard work!
