	@danntara when was Stallone ever in an Alien or Predator film?

	Rehoboth:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 05:46 GMT		2 points
	Ok but a bit long in time and some actors could be seen to be a bit obscure as a link to the series. Why does ob Hope come up with answer Crosby and not Road to movies?

	tjvhammer:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 08:19 GMT		5 points
	glitch in the answers - I didn't get Andy Hardy but did get Planet of the Apes, Alien/Predator and Monty Python, yet that's reversed in the answer display

	Pistol:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 09:04 GMT		2 points
	Have you got some bonus answers in the main body of the quiz? If so that is what is messing up the stats.

	oldkent:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 10:20 GMT		6 points
	What's wrong with the Land Before Time? I loved those movies.

	bobbleobble:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 14:57 GMT		5 points
	Way too much time

	there's been two different Batman franchises the first one had four movies and the second one has had only two movies so far.

	EStreet:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 18:27 GMT		1 point
	Yes, something is amiss. I guess Alien and Pink Panther and did not get credit. I did not guess Andy Hardy and it gave me credit for that one.

	Godzilla?

	johnlk:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 20:24 GMT		5 points
	Counting "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl" seems pretty dubious to me.

	kypzethdurron:	Aug 14th, 2010 at 20:38 GMT		9 points
	To be honest, counting Monty Python is a little dubious since Monty Python was more the group of people making it than a character in the film or anything. It's almost like including "Steven Spielberg" as a franchise..

	vendorsfan1:	Aug 15th, 2010 at 02:56 GMT		1 point
	I guess the term franchise should be defined. I think there are six Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies for example, but I don't know how many are "related" in the sense this quiz is looking for.

	rewster92:	Aug 15th, 2010 at 03:28 GMT		1 point
	I don't remember Sylvester Stallone being in any Alien/Predator movies... and neither does his IMBD page...

	Rifsun:	Aug 15th, 2010 at 03:35 GMT		2 points
	If you're going to include Monty Python, you should really include National Lampoon, or more specifically National Lampoon's Vacation (since there are five of those.)

	chasingamy99:	Aug 15th, 2010 at 05:04 GMT		2 points
	Neither Python nor Lampoon should be included. The first is a group of people making films, not a film franchise. The second is just a licensed name, sold to filmmakers. Lampoon hasn't made a film since the 80's. I could see including "Vacation" as a franchise, but not until the fifth film comes out.

	Robin Hood has had well over five movies made about him; as to whether it can be called a "franchise" is questionable at best, though.

	chris_t:	Aug 15th, 2010 at 10:13 GMT		1 point
	I think this is a great idea for a quiz, can't quite understand why there are so many negative comments/ratings. I can see that a couple of them are difficult to count as "franchises". I reckon you could tidy up on a couple of the actors listed. Wouldn't Tobin Bell make more sense for Saw? Perhaps some of them could list two or three actors to make things clearer.

	American Pie?

	soldamerican:	Aug 15th, 2010 at 18:00 GMT		0 points
	Good idea, needs some work, John Cleese also fits for Harry Potter.

	jonTK:	Aug 15th, 2010 at 18:50 GMT		1 point
	Thanks for all the comments so far. yes, Tobin Bell would make more sense for Saw; I was doing this in a hurry. And silly me for forgetting Godzilla!! Generally, if a franchise includes 5 but only if we count reboots, I made it a bonus, but I think I'll undo that. Python is different from Lampoon since it's the same creative team and actors in all of them. If Broken Lizard make five movies, I'll include them too.

	@oldkent: I like the first Land Before Time, and after part 3, they just keep going downhill. I chose to exclude direct to video features because that's just TOO hard to keep track of, and opens the door for tons of animated films, horror films, and pornography. @rm321: That's also why American Pie isn't included. Did you guys read the note above?

	jonTK:	Aug 15th, 2010 at 18:57 GMT		2 points
	Okay, I've removed the bonuses that were messing it up, and anyway I was inconsistent about them. Batman would have fallen as a bonus under those rules. I'm removing Python, because as someone said, I realized including Hollywood Bowl was dubious. I'm still not including "Vacation" though, because there are only five if you count the made for TV "Cousin Eddie's Christmas" which is better left forgotten.

	schnu:	Aug 16th, 2010 at 01:56 GMT		1 point
	Good quiz but IMO, you need to change Hopkins' answer to accept either "Silence of the Lambs" or "Hannibal" as stand-alone entries, since there was no movie in the series with "Lecter" in the title.

	I kept guessing Indy for Ford and totally blanked on Star Wars...remembered Six Days/Seven Nights though...I'm sorry.

	WindSword:	Aug 18th, 2010 at 22:11 GMT		2 points
	Jay and Silent Bob appear in several films, but it's a bit of a stretch to call it a franchise. More like several mostly unconnected movies that happened to have Jay and Silent Bob.

	jonTK:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 02:57 GMT		1 point
	@WindSword: I called it "Jay and Silent Bob" because there was nothing better to call it. When it was just 3 movies, Smith used to call them the "Jersey trilogy". But it's more than just Jay and Bob; they are a lot of interconnected people and events that make it one big "Askewniverse". So much so Smith even put God closing the book on it at the end of J&SB Strike Back. While some are more connected than others, they're all of a piece. Jersey Girl on the other hand is also set in Jersey but has nothing to do with any of the other ones.

	srsly though, the land before time kills those other franchises.

	dirty harry franchise had five movies...at least one of which had to be decent

	oh, that's right, Dirty Harry! Thanks!

	If you include the remake, you can add The Karate Kid.
