The only Elvis-related film I’ve seen I already guessed a few goes back, but on the basis of Japan and Rock and Roll, Wild Zero?

From #7 alone… Finding Graceland?

You got it!

  1. Napkin: The original Stonehenge sketch is scribbled on a napkin by Nigel.
  2. Japan: The band reunites for a Japan tour, recapturing former glory.
  3. Sammy Davis Jr.: “The book should really be called ‘Yes I Can, If Frank Sinatra Says It’s Okay.’ 'Cause Frank calls the shots for all those guys.”
  4. Bad timing: “I fucked up the timing, that’s all. I fucked up the timing! I got no timing. I got no timing!”
  5. Second billing: “Puppet Show and Spinal Tap.”
  6. Sustain: Nigel brags to Marty about the amazing sustain on one of his guitars.
  7. Graceland: The guys stop at Elvis’s grave where they attempt an a cappella version of ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ and then get depressed. “Too much fucking perspective, now.”
  1. was the movie named for the music or the music named for the movie?
  2. it’s like a season or two of a later TV show, but dumber
  3. the first-time director, despite being handsome, takes a minor role in this movie
  4. a stand up comedian does some impressive (if unlikely) ACTING
  5. Of the duo, they are constantly auditioning for the role of bad cop, so they’re both not great

I’m going to guess 21 Jump Street.

There’s a tenuous connection between that movie and this movie, but it isn’t 21 Jump Street.

Kiss kiss bang bang?

This movie features some kissing and some 'banging but it isn’t Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.

Tango and Cash?

No, not Tango and Cash. That’s yet another movie I ought to have seen in the last thirty years that someday maybe I’ll get around to.

Bad Boys?

Though there are moments in this movie where shit just got real, it is not Bad Boys.

Oh, oh, is this Beverly Hills Cop? Who directed it?

Failing that, Rush Hour? Not that I’d call Tucker’s acting impressive.

Martin Brest directed Beverly Hills Cop and a few other movies before crashing his career with Gigli. But this isn’t Beverly Hills Cop. Or Rush Hour.

Here’s the next clue:

  • This timepiece-sporting nightclub fixture brings some flava to a tale of public enemies.

Well the only film that clue brings to mind is definitely not by a first time director.

Time for a new clue:

  • was the movie named for the music or the music named for the movie?
  • it’s like a season or two of a later TV show, but dumber
  • the first-time director, despite being handsome, takes a minor role in this movie
  • a stand up comedian does some impressive (if unlikely) ACTING
  • Of the duo, they are constantly auditioning for the role of bad cop, so they’re both not great
  • tower projects power
  • This timepiece-sporting nightclub fixture brings some flava to a tale of public enemies
  • The factory floor features an unusual kind of uniform
