Tron Knott's Official Halloween CONTEST: Wolfman Vs Mega Man. No matter who wins, we lose. UPDATE- Bonus questions added, rules clarified
Tron Knotts | 6:22 AM on 10.22.2007 10 comments




A while back, I entered a Mega Man character design contest over at Siliconera. Somehow I got lucky made it to the semi-finals.

From there on the contest was decided by votes. The competition remained tight until the very end. Many members of D-Toid voted for me multiple times, and because of that I managed to win. To show my unending graditude, I'm re-gifting part of my prize to the D-Toid community.

But I'm not going to make it easy for you.

To win this contest, you must answer my 13 spooky questions regarding the ShiMuNi worthy movie "Fury of the Wolfman". Originally filmed in Spain, it is probably the most poorly dubbed foreign film I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot of Kung Fu movies. Some of you will love it. Some would rather die than watch it for more than five minutes. All of you must withstand it, and take notes, in order to win this contest.





The entire movie can be watched free of charge by clicking this link

Questions


1) Fill in the blanks from the movies opening narration.

"When the (blank) starts growing among rough rocks, and the full moon shines at night. In a certain (blank) of the (blank) and man turns into a wolf.

2) Early in the film, a strange Tibetan man sits by the protagonist's bed side. He's one smooth mother, totally getting half way to second base without even buying him a drink first. What "safe word" does he say to our shirtless hero three times in a row? Hint- It's his first line.

3) During a lecture, the female college professor/doctor sometimes referred to Erica, sometimes referred to as Elona (I told you it was badly dubbed) is pretty confident in her skills at dropping science . As a loyal student of the doctor, I have transcribed the most authentical aspects of this lecture below. But if you want points, you must fill in the blanks.

"It is possible to create a (blank) zeborg (?) by using waves of a determined frequency on the brain. Then it will be possible to vary the genotype of an individual to create a being in the labratory. In one word (blank blank blank blank blank blank)

4) Walter is driving a car, bugging out about his cheating wife. What Richard Gere film does Walter think about four times with ever increasing intensity?

5) SPOILER ALERT! How does the Wolfman die (the first time)?

6) Two sexy assistants of the scientist are chilling out in a green house, as men in leather jackets stand aimlessly in the background. Showing no signs of tact or social decorum, the darker haired assistant starts talking about the men like they weren't even there. Fill in the blanks from her shabby attempt at subtlety.

"Well isn't this scientific? They're neither (blank) nor (blank)... for now. But after the doctor's preliminary phase, they will be authentical (blank), and always they'll live in darkness"

7) In your own words, what happens to the blonde assistant after she starts yelping "This can't be scientific! This can't be scientific!"

8) After being whipped for a while, the Wolfman jumps out a window, and seems quite enraged. Suddenly, he has a complete reversal of attitude, and walks quite calmly through the court yard. Then what does he do?

9) Some drunk hippies are hanging out in the Castle. Walter seems to be a little concerned about them, almost in a protective way. The hippies don't seem to appreciate it. Fill in the blanks from the hippies' response to Walter and his squares-ville ways.

"One minute of (blank) is worth it all! Long live (blank)! A man, a hand, to work, (blank), FREEDOM!

10) Later, after reading Erica/Elona's diary, Walter and Karen walk by the hippies again. For some reason, Walter isn't feeling as protective this time. How many times does he swing his hatchet at the hippies?

11) What does Erica/Elona call the things she uses to control people's minds? Chemo-(blank)?

12) Who does the random Phantom of the Opera-esque guy turn out to be?

13) In what may be a first in cinema history, what two creatures do battle in the films spine tingling climax?

Bonus point- What is the last line of the film, and who says it?

Bonus Point 2- Which star of many a spooky Capcom game is seen groping a woman in this film?

Bonus Point 3 "If you want to work for the Doctor, you (blank blank blank0


How it works-

Leave a comment here with your answers. I will end up updating the results daily until we have three winners. The first person who gets all 13 questions AND the bonus points correct automatically wins it all. No more entries will be accepted from that point on. Second and third place will go to folks who already entered before the winner was crowned, folks that have the second and third most answers right (obviously).

I really doubt anyone will answer all these questions. If not, then the person with the most correct answers by Halloween (All Hallow's Eve) will be the winner, second most correct answers gets second, you know the drill. You can enter as many times as you like, so you can start off answering one question a day and leaving the rest blank until you have the strength to finish the movie (or you copy soem one else's answers).


Prizes-



First Prize is the DS game Mega Man Starforce: Leo, a Mega Man EXE collectors pin, and a Mega Man EXE collectors pen.

Second Prize is the DS game Mega Man Starforce: Pegasus. Sorry, no pin or pen.

Third prize is an still sealed "No Hang Ups" outgoing answering machine tape cassette from the 1980's that I just found lying around the house.

All winners get their very own bootleg VHS copy of Fury of the Wolfman.

Don't say I never did nothing for you people!

Good luck.

That's a great idea!

But if people give the answers in the comments, couldn't people just copypaste earlier answers and only focus on the missing ones? If they are lame, that is. Maybe we should mail you the answers and leave a participation comment instead?

Damn you, Pew! That was my plan! I was going to watch the topic, wait for one person to answer, then copypasta to get second prize!

I can't believe I sat through the whole thing. Madness! Here's my answers:

1. "When the heliotrope starts growing among rough rocks, and the full moon shines at night. In a certain area of the Earth and man turns into a wolf.

2. Pentagram, pentagram, pentagram

3. "It is possible to create a human zeborg by using waves of a determined frequency on the brain. Then it will be possible to vary the genotype of an individual to create a being in the labratory. In one word : (Resolve all the unknown concerning man)

4. Unfaithful

5. He grabs a downed power line during a rainstorm and electrocutes himself.

6. "Well isn't this scientific? They're neither animals nor plants for now. But after the doctor's preliminary phase, they will be authentical mutants, and always they'll live in darkness"


7. Either she's killed with a hook of some kind by the other assistant or one of the hybrid plant mutants killed her.

8. He breaks into some neighbor guy's room by going in his window while he's studying, knocks over the guy's desk and bites him on the neck and kills him.

9. "One minute of liberty is worth it all! Long live Liberty! A man, a hand, to work, liberty, FREEDOM!

10. 4 times before the Phantom man picks up the spear and attacks Walter, then Walter swings at the masked man 3 times with the axe before he is kicked back and they tumble down the stairs.

11. Chemotrodes

12. (Elona/Erica's Father), I believe his name is Dr. Helmut Wolfstein.

13. Wolfman vs. Wolfwoman (Walter vs. Erica his supposed "dead" wife)

Bonus 1: The Police Detective (imdb lists his name as Det. Heinrich Miller) : "Look, what a beautiful day it is."

Bonus 2: Arthur from Ghosts n' Goblins.

Bonus 3: "If you want to work for the Doctor, you need more guts!"

Seriously great movie. I loved the transformation scenes and the random plot jumps. Thanks Tron!

And bloodylip, you didn't exactly answer any of the questions...

Well, this went better than I expected. But unfortunately for Scape, the first winner was also the last winner. Since no one had ANY points before LostCrichton slam dunked the contest, there is no second or third place.

I thought I made it clear that the contest ends the instant some one gets all the questions right. If I wasn't clear and you feel cheated (Scape) then I apologize.

I'll contest off the second and third place prizes at a later date, in a contest that wont end so quickly.

LostCrichton, my email is tronknotts@gmail.com

Give me your mailing address and I'll send out your prizes no later than this weekend.
