We'll hold answers until upcoming mid week or so. I will break with tradition and toss out some hints. For one thing, make use of your Menu pushbutton on dvd remote..sometimes it acts quirky with the Image dvds, on mine anyway. Try to locate chapters from menu pix, go one before and after also, and hunt around this site, forum stuff, old quizzes, definitely Wikipedia, IMDb, maybe some other links, and some guesses as well. Yeah, there are a few curves, oddball questions, toughies, goofy ones too in here. (Note: I will say "maybe" if you might be correct, but I may trick you too.) OK, some hints:

1)Check Wikipedia... key in AR and FG
2)Think Metropolis, French Revolution, Ancient Chinese
3)On scene JUST AFTER FG throws shovel, camera goes to Vultan's room. Turn up TV volume to hear alarm. It's short and not very loud.
4)Are you sure of that Tim?
5)Just see Chap 1 of Mars, with different looking rocket interior, brunet Dale, as they are around surface of earth. You'll may recognize approx where they are, and direction they're heading... when they land, it's said what they landed into, and just give a guess if it's NY state or not.
6)Happy Hapgood was involved in this, kinda like when FG and friends went before Toran's tribunal.
7)Give your best guess here.
8)Maybe
9)Subjective...best guess ok. I think one has more re quantity, and other perhaps has more potential devastation.
10)First few Chapters differ in a certain way
11)Think 1936 couple vs. 1940 serial couple
12)Tim...you gave me the name of the Prince. Who is the King? FYI, this actor was a real native American Chief of a tribe in Washington state.
13)Best guess ok
14)Karm is in front of Ming on his throne. Ming knows of Karm's traitor behavior, and personally does what to Karm using what. A bit challenging.
15)Maybe
16)All kind of goofy stuff here, but technically, only 1 of the 3 may be true.
17)Look at links this site:esp Spitfires of the Spaceways and click lower right, A Tale of Two Movies.
18)It's in a quiz, or forum talk here somewhere, other links also.
19)Maybe
20)I've been asking this on forums for like 7 years! (It's a fishing expedition.) Nah..I think they go to sack like the coneheads did, in some upright chamber box of sorts. Sleep-Zs made a mint on custom made units for Beldar and his family.

NOTE to Tim: Owing to your courage in attempting to answer these questions, I salute you and say you may get a promotion. Let's see what you can do with these valuable hints I've provided...perhaps higher yet rank may be considered. Emperor Ming is monitoring this with interest.

1. When Worlds Collide, a novel by Philip Wylie and Edwin Balmer, which was made into a film of the same name in 1951. I can't believe I missed this one in the first round, as I myself noted the similarity between this story and the first chapter of FG '36 in the Planet of Peril thread posted here, 11/09/08.

7. I will guess True on this one.

12. You are right, I gave the name of the Prince rather than the King of the Rock Men. But the answer remains True, as the King was played by Chief Yowlachie, albeit without credit.

I will stick with my earlier answers on questions 8, 15 and 19, but may have to amend my answer to question 4.

I may give it one more try before the answers are posted, using more of the excellent hints given by Quizmaster Torch. And of course Commander Rick, Dan or Joystar might help me out with some of the answers in the meantime.

Until next time, keep the honey jar lid tight while Orso is around! Heh.

Sergeant Tim

1.) When Worlds Collide

2.) A; radium meter gauge

3.) B; FG rocketship sound effect

4.) False, it was Lon Poff as the Priest. Lorch was in CH 8-13. Heh Heh Heh Heh.

5.) False, melon patch it was.

6.) They feared if Happy snapped the picture, the Forest King would get trapped inside the camera and end up like the Dwarf People!

7.) True, but Azura was toned down in the serial film version; i.e; self-censorship.

8.) True. Waxman's "Dance Macabre" theme.

9.) Mars has the most lab equipment seen. Scale of 1, being the highest number of value.

10.) No, the chapter intros in FG 36' are the narrative and in Mars, they are the comic intro. 'Buck Rogers' first used the scrolling forward in 1939 and used again in 'Universe.' They would be used and seen in chapter two to the final chapter in the serials.

11.) False. No plastic surgery, just re-casting for Barin and Aura. Don't know about the one in Tennessee.

12.) Yes, the actor who played the Rock King was a native Indian and was in quite a few films in those days.

13.) No romantic interlude between Torch and Sonja, as she wed Ming and he later had her executed!

14.) Ming stabbed Karm to death on his throne when he tried to strangle him.

15.) Oakman played Lt. Patten in the 1939 serial.

16.) False. They only speak Zuggian.

17.) Other (Torch can do it; I'm a little rusty ). They were Universal sets, as far as I know for Buck Rogers.

18.) True. Crabbe appeared as Brigadier Gordon in the 'Buck Rogers' episode, "Planet of the Slave Girls."

19.) B. Johann Strauss. None of his themes were used in any of the space serials' music scores.

20.) This one Torch can answer for me.



Rick
