Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE
 

Is it "To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women."

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE
 

Hmm...what two unrelated questions! LOL Well unless you just count them as related to 80's movies. LOL Anyway, I'm gonna try to answer these without looking. :lol9: So let's see if I can get them right. LOL

I believe that Anthony Michael Hall needed Molly Ringwald's underwear in Sixteen Candles. :rotfl:

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE
 

No, I just would have liked a more thorough answer. :tongue: Next time I'll add: Explain thoroughly. :rotfl:

But I guess that's good enough for now. Your turn, hun. :)

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE
 

I could have added Constables Steven Tynan and Damien Eyre but I figured that was a gimme since you mentioned it already in your question thus making it redundant. Is there more that you're looking for?

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE
 

Nope, that's good enough. :hug4 Thanks. Your go! :)

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE

No, not him either apparently. This fella had over a dozen movies to his credit during the '80s, most of which won awards for one thing or another... :)

What was discovered by three englishmen in early 1981 and what was the significance of it? :)

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE
 

The Sarawak Chamber was discovered by Andy Eavis, Dave Checkley and Tony White in Jan. 1981. I think the significance of it may be that it is considered to be the largest known underground chamber in the world.
