The Thursday quiz would like to start with an apology. In a recent quiz , we
stated that King Kong• Кинематограф » Фантастические фильмы » Кинг-Конг (фильм, 1933) was “the real heroof the eponymous 1933• Кинематограф » Фантастические фильмы » Кинг-Конг (фильм, 1933) movie.
However, having watched it again this week, it has been drawn to the quiz
master’s attention that the giant ape does eat his way through a considerable
number of entirely innocent people with some gusto, in a way with which, in
retrospect, the quiz would not like to associate itself. Anyway, here are 15
arbitrary questions to see you on your way. Have fun, and let us know how you
get on in the comments.
