Movie title association

We've been having some fun with the Alphabet game, but I think we're presently exhausting all the possible answers for some rather difficult letters...

So with the present round of the Alphabet game coming soon to an end, how about a new, different game?

Name A MOVIE, that an episode of the Captain Scarlet series inspires or reminds you of. We'll go in viewing order, so to not forget any episode. The movie title HAS to really exist and shoud be researchable on Internet Movie Database!

Ready? I'll start over, and give you an example at the same time.

Episode 1, The Mysterons:

Invasion of the Body Snatchers

(Aliens possessing human bodies)

Addition: Just to help you with the order of the episodes, you can consult the Episode page. Good luck!

Episode 2, Winged Assassin:

The Delta Force

(terrorists take over a plane)

Episode 3, Big Ben Strikes Again:

In the Shadow of Big Ben

(the title speaks for itself; all IMDB says is that it's a thriller)

Episode 4, Manhunt:

The Chase

Police chasing Charlie Sheen, who runs away in his car - with the daughter of a rich guy as his hostage.

Oh come on, people, that can't be that difficult! Use your imagination!

Episode 5, Avalanche:

Ice Station Zebra

Episode 6: White As Snow

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Episode 7 : The Trap.

The Prisoner of Zenda....
Well, it has castles and dungeons and stuff...

Episode 8 : Operation TIme

My first thought was - 'The Man with Two Brains' - Steve Martin comedy about brain transplantation

or 'The Terminal Man' - As the result of a head injury, brilliant computer scientist Harry Benson begins to experience violent seizures. In an attempt to control the seizures, Benson undergoes a new surgical procedure in which a microcomputer is inserted into his brain.

Episode 9: Spectrum Strikes Back

Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope

What, you thought "The Empire Strikes Back"? :twisted:

Naaa... Remember the walls slowly closing in on Luke and friends in Episode IV - the way the ceiling SLOWLY lowered down on Colonel White, Captain Blue and the others in that Captain Scarlet episode...

Episode 10: Special Assignment

Diamonds Are Forever

James Bond spends a lot of time in casinos in Nevada....and the baddie holds North America (and everywhere else) to ransom...
and Steele and Kramer remind me of Mr Wynt and Mr Kidd... :twisted:

Episode 11: The Heart of New York

Lots of possibilities on IMDb, but I've opted for The Great Bank Robbery

Not actually seen it, but the title sounded promising :wink:

Episode 12 : Lunarville 7

I'm not a great movie watcher (at least not of the latest ones) but how about 2001 A Space Odyssey? The problems with SID kind of reminded me of HAL.

Bit of a stretch I know... :grin:

Not at all, Keryn, that was the first one that came to my mind last night. I was going to look into a few other possibilities but you beat me to it. :grin:

Episode 13: Point 783

The Terminator

You can run, but you can never hide... He's always behind you!

Same as the Unitron :twisted:

Episode 14: Model Spy

Cover Girl Models.

Not an exact match, but it had girls, models and espionage. I couldn't find one with inhuman alien masters and zombie models, which is a shame, as I'm sure there'd be a niche market for such a film.
