[eclipse0]

Bah, you're right, I thought the question was did they win an academy award or golden globe.  I'll edit it asap.

[Paityr]

Who said I was being insulting??  :-\

 

I actually hold Howard in as high regard as I do other masterpieces of the 80's...like "Leonard, Part 6".

I think Three Amigos belongs on the 1986 list, but I may be wrong.

[ironcross]

i think i remember mr nice guy as being a jakie chan. im going to see if i can find out for shur

[eclipse0]

Well Q13 should weed out some more, but we've also got:

 

7 titles that end in a vowel (if you include "y" as a vowel) and

6 titles that have three words in them (if you include "&" as a word)

[ironcross]

nevermind that was a 1997 movie that he was in by the same tital.

here is what wikipidiea has to say

 

Mr. Nice Guy was a 1987 movie starring Mike MacDonald and Jan Smithers.

 

In this film, MacDonald plays a hitman who becomes engaged to the leading lady, played by Smithers.

 

 

[SinisterDeath]

I have this 'hunch' that this is a Whoopie Film, possibly Jumping Jack Flash.  ;)

[Emperor]

Q13: Was this movie originally released after December 31, 1986? Yes

[eclipse0]

Q14: Does the title of the film end in a vowel? (Y is included as a vowel in this case)

[Emperor]

Q15: Does it have the following An "A" and a "U" in the Title? (Ie, Does it have an "a", and a "U" in the title, not one or the other but both!) No

Here are ALL the comedies from the US that I could find. What we need now is someone to weed through this and eliminate everything we already know. I just don't have time to do that right now. Sorry...  :-\

 

[Cadsuane]

IF someone doesn't want to do everything, they could go through and take out everything that ends in aeiouy, and I'll look at the rest when I come back from my classes.

[eclipse0]

Ok the strikethroughs are eliminated, the reason behind it in red

I didn't forget your question.  The "a" and "U" are in quotes, which makes me think you meant lower case a and capital U.  Now the question isn't whether I interpretted what you meant correctly.  The question is "Did Emperor interpret your question the way I did or the way you meant it to be?"

 

It makes a HUGE difference, therefore I tried to err on the side of safety.

 

*Edit: Added quoted post for ease of reading the reply to the post on the previous page*

[Paityr]

Here's the list with notes highlighting what I know about each film. These may or may not be helpful. An asterisk next to each signifies a movie I've seen.

 

Creepshow 2* -- Campy comedy/horror

Ernest Goes to Camp* -- Campy camp movie

Evil Dead II* -- Campy comedy/horror

Ishtar* -- an awful Dustin Hoffman and

Leonard Part 6* -- an infamously awful Bill Cosby comedy

Making Mr. Right* -- I don't actually remember much about this...

Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol* -- They should have stopped at #2

Project X* -- Matthew Broderick teaches chimps to fly through nuclear blasts... Comedy?!?

Real Men -- Never seen it

Remote Control -- Never seen it

Rent-a-Cop -- Never seen it

Running Out of Luck -- never seen it

Spaceballs* -- Like Caddy said, a classic. Mel Brooks, with a whole list of famous people

Walk Like a Man* -- Hilarious (at least to my 11 year old self) Howie Mandell movie about a guy raised by wolves.

Women's Club, The -- never seen it.

 

So, yeah, not sure this helps much. But there it is. Now that the Owl Turd movie is not an option, I'm leaning toward it being either Ishtar, Spaceballs, Leonard Part 6, or Walk Like a Man. Thoughts?
