Ok, here we go. Probably way too easy, but I find that is hard to say: I know which movie this is, so to me it is obvious. But it might also be way to obscure. We’ll see…
- Com cut
- Jesus Savior
- Body double
- Road trip
- Cold coffee
Not The Trip. I may have been too cryptic with my clues… or I may have picked scenes/instances that are too small. Most likely: a combination of both. We’ll see!

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert?
Nice guess considering the clues, but no…
I assume Mamma Mia is too obvious, but I’ll guess it anyway…
Yeah, not Mama Mia. I could say: not even close. Literally…
Ok, if this one doesn’t give it away, the next one will…
• Com cut
• Jesus Savior
• Solanum tuberosum
• Body double
• Solar panelled road trip
• Cold coffee
• Abba
• Argh Matey!

The Martian? From the conjunction of Solar Panelled Road Trip and Solanum Tuberosum.
Well done! Will explain the other clues later!
Right, the clues explained:
- Com cut: de movie starts with a lot of joking and chatting over the com between Mark Watney and the others while working on Mars. Johanssen then tells Commander Lewis she can shut the com down if she likes? Which, to the surprise of Mark, Lewis then promptly approves.
- Jesus Savior: Mark uses chips of a wooden crucifix (a personal item from Martinez) to start the fire he needs to make water, because NASA has explicitly taken no flammable materials to Mars.
- Solanum tuberosum: Potatoes. Mark, being a botanist, grows potatoes on Mars!
- Body double: to show the effects of the extreme rationing of his food, we see a very thin Mark (with a towel over his head).
- Solar panelled road trip: Mark drives to the Ares IV site to use the MAV that is there, to leave Mars. To charge the batteries of his vehicle, he needs to use solar panels, so it’s a slooooow trip…
- Cold coffee: Rich Purnell, the brilliant but weird scientist that ultimately comes up with the solution to save Mark, drinks cold coffee when he is woken up. Memorable, because he then spits it out… in a chickenwire-style wastebin…!
- Abba: Commander Lewis’ husband shows her a first edition Abba-album before she starts on her new return trip to Mars (which is funny because Mark has commented on Lewis’bad taste in music throughout the movie)
- Argh Matey!: When Mark leaves the Hab to travel to the Ares IV site, he says that he was not expressly given permission to board the MAV, making him a space pirate. He then calls himself “Captain Blondbeard,”
- Iron Man: Mark punches a hole in his spacesuit to reach the rescue party Iron Man-style
