Last week's Movie Quiz winners

Last week's quiz movie in question was not, as one wag suggested, Boys in the Hoods, but the 1974 turkey The Klansman, starring Lee Marvin and Richard Burton, the man who was blotted out of last week's first picture clue. I didn't pick it because it's worth a second or even a first look, although with a script co-written by Sam Fuller, it's not completely without interest for the film fan. For those still interested in the bottomless cesspool that is O.J. Simpson, however, the movie is morbid comedy gold.

Simpson plays Garth, who's tired of the Klan in his town gunning down his buddies right in front of him, so he starts killing them, one at a time. This gives him the opportunity to snarl things like, "When are you gonna pick up a gun? Well, whenever you do, you know where to find me." (Yeah, in the memorabilia room!) It also has lots of moments of The Juice looking natural-- ladies and gentlemen of the jury, If I Did It-- The Fumetti:

And finally, because it was a movie and not real life:

A surprising number of winners, considering even the few people who've seen The Klansman don't remember it, so congratulations and a trip to McDonald's with O.J. and Kato to the following: Vince Tuss, Wayne Palmer, Song-Un Lee, Donald Greene, Michael Arnold, Kevin Musolino, Michael Mattson, Bob Redwing, mick, E. Yarber, Mark Gisleson, Eric Castro, Bill Hearne, Thomas Miller, A Swede in SC, ron frigstad, Tim Smit, Bill McLaughlin, and Dennis Lynch.
