2 more correct answers and one incorrect guess for Image 2

As its Saturday Morning local time, here's the current overall tournament leaderboard, accurate to the end of Round 3 Image 2 which means the points for some players are already included despite others having yet to score this Round.

Image Game Tournament Week One Leaderboard

1st cosmicmonkey - 8 pts
2nd= bowfinger - 6 pts
2nd= cet1412 - 6 pts
2nd= auhasarderik - 6 pts
5th snallygaster - 5 pts
6th= brickwall - 4 pts
6th= Dreamer - 4 pts
6th= CMonster - 4 pts
6th= 3dRevelation - 4 pts
10th fra paolo - 3 pts

11th= maaxwell - 2 pts
11th= mattorama12 - 2 pts

Well despite the fact that it's a short week one and we haven't even completed 3 full rounds, it's a very competitive start on the overall leaderboard! cosmicmonkey currently leads the way with 8 points having played all rounds and his lead is such that he won't be overtaken when Round 3 completes, so he is the true benchmark to beat for all players at this early stage. Behind the leader bowfinger and auhasarderik have also started strongly and lead the chase, while last years top two cet1412 and snallygaster remain poised to strike despite both having yet to play Round 3. There is really nothing between all the players at this early stage with only 6 pts separating top from bottom which means there is still an opportunity for anybody playing who has yet to score to join in and be competitive by the tournament's end :)

A reminder that the next image after this one will be a Bonus Round which will remain in play for 12 hrs and Round 3's final image will be posted tomorrow 24 hrs from now.

Just the one correct answer there which brings us to ...

Bonus Round 1

Ok .... READ THIS FIRST ...

This and each of the subsequent bonus rounds are ONE movie each time. Don't jump in stupidly and think you have to name one or more of the movies that you are seeing here or in the future. The Images you see lead you to ONE answer for that round which is the name of a film.

2 pts for anyone who gets it right. Nothing for a wrong answer (no deductions) and only one guess per player per bonus round. The bonus round is in play for the now standard 12 hr window.

So here we go ... what movie do these images represent?

And as a reminder, Round 3 will continue and conclude with the final image posted in 12 hrs time.

Bonus Round is being left open for 1 more hour in order to answer a discussion thread query that was posted last night but I missed.

Also, Round 3 Image 3 is still open if anyone wants to play it during the next hour

The Bonus Round has closed ...

The first image was of Jim Caviezel as Jesus of Nazareth from The Passion of the Christ. The second was Christopher Plumm ... erm ... Kevin Spacey as John Doe from Se7en. The third was John Matuszak under heavy prosthetics as Sloth from The Goonies. This one was simply about the characters on display. By all accounts Jesus is considered to be a good man. Anyone who watched Se7en would consider John Doe to be quite a bad person. And sadly in our superficial society, we consider the courageous and caring Sloth to be less than beautiful. Therefore, reading simply from left to right we see

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly :)

Personally I thought that was easy, but maybe my brain just knew what to expect as in reality it seems most found it difficult. All the same, 2 pts were scored by igormachete, snallygaster and cet1412 so well done to that trio.

I thought there might be some alternative logical takes and 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' was a pretty good effort even though Sloth is nothing like a Dwarf! Another guess was Se7en itself based on Sloth being one of the seven deadly sins, and Jesus being a religious figure, but while I can see the logic it would be too obvious to put the movie in question as one of the clue images.

Round 3 Image 4

NB overnight there was another correct guess for Image 3. Being completely honest, in my own mind I had considered the answer window closed when the Bonus Round started, but seeing as I had never clarified or stated otherwise, I'm happy to accept the answer on this occasion as well as during all future Bonus Rounds. Anyway, here's the final image for Round 3 which will close at the normal time of 10pm (adjust for your own timezone). This is an 11 hr window based on the extension of the Bonus Round by 1 hr this morning.

3 more correct answers to close the round which was ... Hellraiser (1987)

4pts - snallygaster, auhasarderik
3pts - Detox
2pts - brickwall
1pt - maaxwell, Dreamer, cosmicmonkey

Surprisingly a round that focused on a movie featuring a race of mutilated beings that torture humans for all eternity, didn't end up suiting Harvey Weinsten as the legal battle ended all square at 2 - 2. This leaves the overall score at Lawyers 7 - Public 9

Well after the gore of Round 4 lets continue with a more peaceful and classy affair ...
