This was a fun little find I tripped over online. You know that guy who won the most on Jeopardy!? 74 games in a row? Yeah. His name is Ken Jennings and he has a blog. Its about a lot of stuff because well, he knows everything.
This little game he came up with puts unlikely comic book movie characters in a crossover in other movies. Not the Characters exactly, but their actors.
So an actor plays a superhero, but later plays a completely different character in an unrelated movie with another actor who once played a superhero. Now you have an Accidental Crossover that threatens the space/time continuum itself. Or not.
Ken Jennings challenges you.
in what movie could you find these accidental comic “crossovers”? (These range from sorta-obvious to insanely hard.)
1. Wolverine and Batman–mortal enemies!
2. Mister Fantastic saving the life of The Phantom’s fiancee!
3. J. Jonah Jameson as Kitty Pryde’s secret father!
4. The Penguin mentoring Judge Dredd!
5. Ghost Rider and Punisher–in jail together!
6. Catwoman gets Dick Tracy’s groove on!
7. Nick Fury in a hostage standoff with Lex Luthor!
8. Daredevil enlists–and serves under The Shadow!
9. Sabertooth sleeping with The Hulk’s wife!
10. The Joker menaces Olive Oyl with an axe!
So list the stars, and the movie they were in together.
And no. Your answer does not have to be in the form of a question.
1. The Prestige
2. Ioan Gruffudd and The Phantom’s Fiancee??
3. Juno
4. Rocky (Mickey is the original Penguin)
5. Face/Off
6. Bulworth
7. The Negotiator
8. Pearl Harbor
9. The Painted Veil
10. The Shining
11. Johnny Mnemonic
12. The Chamber
13. To Wong Foo
14. Oceans 13 AND Heat
15. Animal Factory
16. Changing Lanes
17. Miss Match
18. Tombstone
19. Michael Clayton
20. The Limey
the hulk is married?
Yawn.
While we are at it, let’s keep going. How about ten more?
11. The Punisher chases John ‘Hellblazer’ Constitine
12. Lex Luthor is the father of Robin
13. Catwoman indirectly makes Blade – and Spawn’s Clown- dress in drag
14. Batman vs. Alphonse “Big Boy” Caprice
15. Green Goblin mentors The Crow in prison
16. Daredevil runs into Nick Fury
17. Sandman is set up on a date by Batgirl
18. Sandman is shot and killed by Batman
19. Batman tells Constitine’s Gabriel that he is the angel of death.
20. General Zod goes after Ghost Rider’s Mephistopheles
The Joker menacing Olive Oyl would make the best movie ever!
4 is Rocky, “get up you bum because Mickey loves ya”
Burgess Meredith played the Penguin opposite Adam West
I just realized… there is a movie I own where Judge Dredd faces off against Blade in a Utopian future.
Whaddabout Iron Man secretly has hots for Spidey? Or Iron Man teams up with Two Face to catch Blade?
Think back a little further, kids. Burgess Meredith played the Penguin on the 60’s Batman TV series and in 1966’s Batman movie. That would make the answer to #4 pretty easy… Rocky.
