SFSignal has another sci-fi movie keyword quiz<\/a> up:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Friendship \/ Hiding In Closet \/ Quarantine \/ Bicycle<\/li>\n
  2. Violence \/ Sociopath \/ Invented Language \/ Eye<\/li>\n
  3. Graphic Violence \/ Cyberpunk \/ Toxic Waste \/ Human Android Relationship<\/li>\n
  4. Dystopian \/ Totalitarian \/ Illegal Immigrant \/ Hope<\/li>\n
  5. Science Runs Amok \/ Theme Park \/ Tropical Island \/ Child In Peril<\/li>\n
  6. Science Runs Amok \/ Theme Park \/ Evil Robot \/ Gunslinger<\/li>\n
  7. Gang \/ Feral Child \/ Muscle Car \/ Australian Outback<\/li>\n
  8. Kidnapping \/ Asylum \/ Animal Rights \/ Time Travel<\/li>\n
  9. Interdimensional Travel \/ Escaped Mental Patient \/ Rocket Car \/ Watermelon<\/li>\n
  10. Lincoln Memorial \/ Totalitarianism \/ Ice Cave \/ Man Hunt<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You remember the rules from before<\/a>: Name the SF flick based on those keyword clues from the IMDB<\/a>. I actually thought this quiz was quite a bit easier than the first one. My answers are below the cut. You might want to write yours down or something before you click through…<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial<\/i><\/li>\n
    2. A Clockwork Orange<\/i><\/li>\n
    3. Blade Runner<\/i> (Maybe… the reference to toxic waste is throwing me…)<\/li>\n
    4. Children of Men<\/i><\/li>\n
    5. Jurassic Park<\/i><\/li>\n
    6. Westworld<\/i> (Which is pretty much the same movie as Jurassic Park<\/i> when you think about it; Yul Brynner was uber-cool, though…)<\/li>\n
    7. The Road Warrior<\/i><\/li>\n
    8. Twelve Monkeys<\/i> (Again, maybe… I don’t remember the kidnapping angle, but nothing else I can think of includes an asylum, animal rights, and time travel.)<\/li>\n
    9. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai<\/i><\/li>\n
    10. Logan’s Run<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      So how’d everybody do?<\/p>\n

      Update:<\/b><\/p>\n

      Here are the correct answers (looks like I missed number 3):<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial<\/i><\/li>\n
      2. A Clockwork Orange<\/i><\/li>\n
      3. RoboCop<\/i><\/li>\n
      4. Children of Men<\/i><\/li>\n
      5. Jurassic Park<\/i><\/li>\n
      6. Westworld<\/i><\/li>\n
      7. Mad Max 2<\/i><\/li>\n
      8. 12 Monkeys<\/i><\/li>\n
      9. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension<\/i><\/li>\n
      10. Logan’s Run<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        So RoboCop<\/i> is considered cyberpunk now? Hm, interesting…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
