True Or False (The Real Version)

Correct. I’m surprised your general knowledge is so good!

So my answer is correct, but for the wrong reason. Haha! :stuck_out_tongue:

Um, false? Greed, gluttony, something, something… I’m not sure. :question:

Pinkie Pie the Earth pony in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic was inspired by Surprise, a unicorn pony in a previous generation.

This time it was a random guess.

Yes, false.

Another wild guess. False.

All licenced Lego Video Games but one feature characters that can jump higher than the rest.

I’m surprised you knew the Flashpoint one, though (even saying the acronym is the same but stands for something else). Are you a fan of the show too?

Ding ding ding! Correcto mundo. Surprise is actually a Pegasus pony.

While I’ve played a few Lego videogames, I haven’t played all of 'em. So, wild guess, true.

A voice actress for How To Train Your Dragon also stars in the upcoming Despicable Me 2.

True.

All Lego Star Wars games featured the Jedi (and Jar-Jar, Grievous and hisx bodyguards jumped even higher), Lego Indiana Jones featured women in both games, who for some reason could jump higher than men, both Lego Batman outings had characters with various powers, some of which could jump very high (and even fly in the sequel!), Lego Pirates of the Caribbean also had high-jumping lasses and Lego Lord of the Rings has elves.

So, the only one left is Lego Harry Potter, where nobody could jump higher than the rest of the characters. Which makes your answer true.

Episode VII will be, coincidentally, Abrams 7th. film

C’est vrai (which means “That’s true” in French)! Kristen Wiig voices Ruffnut in How To Train Your Dragon and Lucy Wilde in Despicable Me 2.


Lucy teaches Gru how to do the macarena the brute-force way.

No idea, so I’ll go with true.

Fortune cookies are an American invention based on a Japanese recipe.

Very true.

You’ll notice I was very vague with the question, with not specificity about if I was referring to just feature films, or films he directed, or simply was involved in. It doesn’t matter because in any case it’s false.

Batman has fought Captain America.

Correct! This should be easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy for anyone who’s seen Iron Man 3 (which I know you have, SoA, so that was a walkover).

Actually, you didn’t even say the first name of “Abrams”, so yeah, the fact that it’s such a vaguely-worded question should have clued me in on it. But, out of curiousity, how many films has J. J. Abrams directed?

I assume you’re referring to any medium, movie, videogame, comic book, or even fanart and fanfics. So based on the probablity of such an event taking place in any of these possible mediums, I’d go with True (I merely have to Google or search on deviantART and I’ll bet I’d fine at least one crossover fan material depicting this).

In the TV show Littlest Pet Shop (2012),Pepper the skunk is a stand-up comedian and Sunil the mongoose is a magician.

Uhm… False.

Well, films are know for inventing “facts”, so that could still be false even after watching Iron Man 3. I just had heard the story in a cooking channel.

Episode VII will be his fifth as a director.

I was referring to only official sources, so my mistake for wording the question poorly. Fanmade material didn’t count. Anyway, it’s true nevertheless, since both of them fought in an official issue of DC Vs. Marvel.

Boromir and Gimli are the only members of the Fellowship of the Ring who never get to go to the Undying Lands

Correct… not! :mrgreen: The statement is indeed true.

[size=85]Sunil (right) attempts another not-so-successful magic trick on Zoe Trent.[/size]

Yeah, I think I knew fortune cookies weren’t Chinese before seeing Iron Man 3, but I wanted to confirm it after seeing the movie. Wikipedia does support this, but of course, it’s not exactly a bastion of credible information.

Hmmm… not familiar with the book and I can’t remember much of the movie, so Wild Wild Guess, true.

The voice actor of a macaw in Rio plays a magician in the upcoming thriller Now You See Me.

That’s true.

Actually false. Gimli goes. The only ones that don’t are Boromir, Pippin, Merry and Aragorn.

In the course of the seven books, Harry Potter lost the two flying broomsticks he owned.


[size=85]Pick a card. Any card.[/size]

Correct! Jesse Eisenberg voiced Blu the macaw in Rio and plays Michael Atlas the magician in Now You See Me.

Time to rewatch LOTR!

Hmm… I know he wrecked the Nimbus 2000 (or 3000?) in the Whomping Willow. Then I think he received a second broomstick (forgot the name) at the end of the third movie. Can’t remember if he lost the second one, though? I think he did? I’ll go with true.

Vanellope von Schweetz from the movie Wreck-It Ralph is a playable character in the videogame Sonic & All Stars: Racing Transformed.

That won’t do you any good if you want an answer to my question.

  1. He received a Firebolt at the middle of the third book. But yes, the answer was true.

False. Only Ralph is.

The Castafiore Emerald is the only Tintin book to be set in only one location.

Correct for the Wreck-It Ralph question!

Hm, okay then. I suppose it’s the book series then.

True, I think. I remember it took place in a mansion.

The ruling party of Malaysia won the country’s recent 13th national election.

True.

Partially. You won’t find the answer in the trilogy, strictly speaking.

True.

Gazerbeam was killed by Omnidroid v.X4

PS: We’ve kind of monopolised this game. A pity, since I think it’s probably the best.

Correct! Either you have good general knowledge, or you must have read my post in the Status Update thread!

Must be in one of the spin-offs or companion novels then!

Hmmm… can’t remember. Wild Wild Guess, true.

Yeah, I wish more members would take part. Either they haven’t noticed, or they can’t think of any questions to ask, since they can always hazard a guess.


[size=85]Yeee haaww!!![/size]

In the movie Speed, the gap in the road that the bus had to jump was about sixty feet.

Exactly. Maybe you should have waited to post that.

False. It was the Omnidroid 5.

A decent film of its type, and I’ve watched it a couple of times, but in here we use the metric system, and mentally calculating feet would be too much of a guess. I’ll venture false.

Bank of America was actually born in Europe.

I intentionally wrote that post to help whoever wanted to answer my question (since most people wouldn’t most know about Malaysian current affairs). I’m actually thinking of dropping such clues in other threads for future questions! :wink:

Well, you’re correct about Speed, the statement is false. If I recall correctly, Joe Morton’s character (the commanding officer of Keanu Reeve’s cop) mentions it’s fifty feet, before dropping an F-bomb. So yes, it’s more fifty feet than sixty feet (although since I used “about”, it can be argued that fifty is about sixty, depending on how much one wants to argue about the deviance).

I suspect it’s one of those weird-but-true statements, so true.

One of the Bond girls in Tomorrow Never Dies is played by a Malaysian actress.

Very true.

It’s actually false. An Italian founded Bank of Italy, which went to become Bank of America, but it was done in American soil from the beginning, never in Europe.

Over three Bond Girls have been played by Swedish actresses.

True

I rarely play this game, because I’m afraid of looking dumb. I honestly don’t know many of the answers.

Superman was the first Detective Comic ever published.

False. Actually, Superman was the début of Action Comics. The first Detective Comics issue was an anthology of hard boiled stories.

Yes. It is. Some of them have even played more than one Bond Girl.

Green Arrow debuted with no sidekick.
