Can You Name the Sci-Fi Alphabet
(click to enlarge)
Because I sure as shit can’t. I got through about two thirds of these and was on my way to the finish line when some just stumped me. C, D, Q, R, S, X, Y and a few more have me stumped. I’m sure when you tell me I’ll feel like an idiot.
The image comes from Stephen Wildish, and he’s got a whole bunch more of these types of quizzes for you to try out if you’re bored and think you know everything about movies. Hint: You don’t.
No, I don’t have the answer key, so I’ll just have to trust you. Oh Zardoz, I could never forget that red-wrapped package, even if I wanted to.

X Men for X?
D is Dune
Well, you did better than me. I only got nine, and that’s assuming I got the fifth one correct.
R for running man, X for Xmen
C = cube
D= dune
S = Solarys
Y = You got me???
C is for Cube, D is for Dune, S is for Solaris, Y is for “Yor the hunter from the Future”

That’s surprises me a bit, Paul. I would have thought you’d get Dune and X Men, or is it Nattyb who has talked about Dune before?
Sorry, O is Omega Man, not Outland. That’s Charlton Heston wearing sunglasses and carrying a sub-machine-gun. If it was Outland, it would be Sean Connery wearing a baseball cap, with a shotgun.
^Omega Man for O is correct. Charlton Heston is a boss
@Paul – PLEASE tell me you’ve seen Cube? If not, I highly recommend you add to your list asap.
Interesting random fact. Nick Castle the director of Last Starfighter was “The Body” of Michael Myers in the original Halloween. I love that bit of trivia.
I thought “I” was for “I am Legend” not “I, Robot”?
Why is it Soderbergh’s Solaris, and not Tarkovsky’s . . .
Cube is an f-ed up f-ing f of a movie lol. Then again, I don’t really like gorey horror flicks like that. The premise was good. Hell, even the traps thing was fine. What bugged me was it was never explained. Can’t remember why I even watched it… I think it was randomly playing on the syfy (back then, it was normal as sci-fi. Yeesh) channel and saw Nicole de Boer from DS9 and I was like “cool, okay”. Ha. Right.
The Quiet Earth?! Well, last time I’ve seen it was like a year ago, but I don’t see ANY correlation between the movie and this drawing…
The E is for…. Darth Vader -_-
The U is for…. THE BORG!!!! -_-
@rich & @bob good job i got stumped by about 7 of them but i just wanted to add that if any of you have watched any of these movies and liked them but you haven’t seen the “Cube” movies then you really should check them out. Not the greatest movies ever made but they’re unique and I found them really interesting.
O is for hOratio cane ^_^
caine -_-
