That confirmed it for me, but it clicked once I thought more about the ‘every last drop’ clue. Once that idea set in, all the rest fell into place.

Ok let me contemplate this for a bit.

2805

Wait, how did an helicopter end in a movie about the Labours of Hercules?

  1. Deja Vu
  2. bug like machines
  3. moldy food
  4. sleight of hand
  5. important advertising
2808

Naked Lunch?

2809

This lunch is fully clothed.

2810

Minority Report

2811

Total Recall?

2812

Edge of Tomorrow?

2813

And @Gladguy gets it.

Indeed it is Minority Report.

2814
  1. Not set in New York, but it might as well be — Thebes is called “The Big Olive”, and the mentor character is a riff on Dustin Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy, including “I’m walking here”
  2. Creative liberties — The script takes enormous liberties with the mythology from the very beginning.
  3. Every last drop — The potion that turns Hercules mortal (see above) only works if he drinks every last drop
  4. Uprising — Hades is planning an uprising against the Olympians
  5. Surprising helicopter — See CraigM’s post above
  6. Accelerated labours — Most of the labours of Hercules are just ignored and with maybe one exception the others are not really dwelt on. It’s very much a conventional Disney plot shoehorned into the mythology mainly for the characters (which themselves are massively altered)
2815

I guess I’m up now? I hope I do this right…

  1. an evil glow
  2. an unfinished den
  3. a terrified girl
  4. a questionable angle
  5. a bad double-cross
2816

Pulp Fiction?

2817

Kiss Me Deadly?

2818

Ooo… both great guesses. Pulp Fiction in particular is a good fit, but not quite the film I had in mind.

2819

Adding a new clue:

  1. an evil glow

  2. an unfinished den

  3. a terrified girl

  4. a questionable angle

  5. a bad double-cross

  6. a flying fortress

2820

I’m worried that I’m conflating Zardoz and Logan’s Run, but I’m guessing Logan’s Run.

2821

Thanks to #6 I have to guess Captain America: Winter Soldier, LOL.

2822

If I squint really hard I can almost line up the clues to Aliens, so I’ll guess that.

2823

Good guesses, but no. I love Zardoz!!

How frequently do I throw out a new clue?
