    Bond, James Bond?



    Having taken off my shoes so I can count higher than 10, I now realise I wasted a question with this guess. Sorry, everybody, my mistake.

    10 films?!?

    I'd have to say Bond also. I can't think of any other western franchise that made it to 10 films, other than maybe Hellraiser, Friday the 13th, Haloween franchises.
    Godzilla (ok not western but still more than 10 films), and Star Trek (yes, I know it's sci-fi).
    But, I thought Ian Fleming wrote Bond. Newer films were based on Bond but not Flemming stories?

    Sean Connery - 5 I can think of
    Roger Moore - 5, and I'm probably forgetting some
    George Lazenby - 1
    Timothy Dalton - 2
    Pierce Brosnan - 3, at least
    The New Guy - 1
    the original "Casino Royal" - 1
    that makes AT LEAST 16 Bond films (real smart, Jack, way to use your head!)

    Damian, wish I'd counted them out before guessing. There has certainly been more than 10 Dracula films, but while Drac is dead, he is certainly NO HERO, which should rule out the horror/slasher films series you mentioned. Those guys may be the stars, but that does not make them heroes.

    Sherlock Holmes is a hero in books, but there's been far too many movies made, and only one author, so he's not eligible. Guess we need some more "general info" questions.

    I would like the question of film to be disussed a little more deeply as in film full length? something that may or may not have made it to the big screen? A film can be considered 5 minutes......... a film could also be considered a tv show please be specific!

    OK, just thinking out loud (brainstorming) here. None of these are formal questions.

    Could be Japanese films (a lot don?t get to the USA). Most modern Japanese films are based on Anime (which is almost always based on Manga) and always make it past 10 films. In Japan Anime is considered film. A lot of Anime is based on spirituality and thus not sci-fi or fantasy.
    In the same mindset the BBC also does a lot of film based series (like the mysteries).
    Also, could be American animation like the DC ?The Batman?, ?Justice League (and offshoots)?, animation film series.
    Yes, going too ?far out? on this train of thought.

    So I?m Assuming the author stopped writing and someone else took over? Or was it always written by 2 people?

    I want to ask if it?s a Hollywood series, independent or foreign,
    Also, what genre (mystery, biographical, historic, etc.),
    length are the films IE. video:>3 min, TV: 24/48/96 min (or miniseries, made for TV film), cinema 90-120 min.,
    Based on a comic, comic strip, short stories, mythology, novel,
    Timeframe of the story (1600s, modern, ancient mythos, etc.)?


    Hmmmum? a dead fictional heroic male character from a story, written my 2 authors, still current, made into 10 films.

    I'm not going to guess 'cause I can't even think of a good question (I brainstormed myself out of a question).
    I'll wait till someone else askes and sheads more light onto what it might be.

    10. To try to answer firstsonofsolo's question, The films are all over an hour, and I believe they can all be considered "feature films"

    Hummm..... Le Morte d'Arthur? Jules Verne's stuff? Dr. Seuss? The Bible? L. Ron Hubbard? Harry Potter? None of these fit. let alone a person in the story.


    Is the character a cultural icon?

    7. Yes, he's a French cultural icon.
    And, to qualify my answer for 8, this person, had he actually existed, would not have called himself "French" (or "Français"), nor would he have known what a French person was...

    (silly input) Inspector Clouseau? Hercule Perot? Wait, he's Belgin. Jerry Lewis? (end silly input)

    "had he actually existed, would not have called himself "French", nor would he have known what a French person was.."

    OK, bad question but is this "person" a human?

    I'll pretend you didn't ask that...a person, by definition, is human, at least according to Merriam-Webster

    Yea, that's why I put "Person" in quotes. I should have said character and not person.

    OK... then I guess... given what information given... does this story (that this Person) take place before France became a country?

    Funny I didnt think

    Dumbeldore was an ACTOR FSOS, so much as a character
    and we're not guessing who the authors were either way


    Michele guesses King Arthur
