The All New All New Groundspeak UK Pub Quiz

I reckon it's earlier than that, and the earliest I can think of is The Thing From Another World.
And you'd be correct! The 'vegetable man' alien (well done martin&lindabryn) from the 1951 film is set on fire with electricity. Thanks to his outfit and mask, it was possible to set the stuntman on fire, all over. The film was remade (ish) by John Carpenter in 1982 as The Thing. A classic Scifi Ding! to you.

One I know. One of the members (Guest?) is also a Lord. He's married to Jamie Lee-Curtis, which makes for some fun photos of him in Erim robes and she in a short tight black dress and killer heels to match the killer legs.

 

That's the DING! Christopher Guest is actually the 5th Baron Haden-Guest through his British father. He inherited the family barony and was a member of the House of Lords, although no longer, following the abolition of hereditary peers.

 

Over to Paul.

Closer, but still no cigar. You're right about it being a Lego™ giraffe though :)

 

Hang about... When I was in Berlin in July, I seem to remember walking past some Lego animals. Can't remember if there was a giraffe, though, and I didn't look for a cache there. In fact didn't look for many caches at all.

You should have paused at the giraffe in Berlin -at the Sony Centre, Potsdamer Platz- as that's where Germany's most favoured (aka 'favorited' [sic]) cache is. A nano. Ah, the irony :D;)

 

Ding to you John. And a bonus Happy Christmas. In fact...

 

Happy Quizmas, one an all!

Thank you, Paul.... I did manage to find a couple of caches in Berlin. There were a couple close to the World Clock that come to mind.

Anyway... on with the quiz...

 

Sax Rohmer wrote the books.

Christopher Lee played the villain in the movies.

Nayland Smith was the 'good guy'

 

What was the name of the actress that played the villain's daughter in the aforementioned movies?

 

mwwaaahhhh........ The world will hear from me again!!

As Fu Manchu was 'Oriental'... It's a good bet that his daughter was too. You're looking for the name of a Chinese actress who was 'quite big' back in the day. She trained at RADA, starred in the West End musical... 'The World of Susie Wong' and was a 'Bond girl' in 'You Only Live Twice' and 'Casino Royale'. She also played 'Juicy Lucy' in 'The Virgin Soldiers'.

 

Is that enough info. to be getting on with?
