how about "Yellow Submarine?

Easy! The Beatles featured in both "Yellow Submarine" and "Help!". Roy Kinnear featured in "Help!", and also in a film called "Taste the Blood of Dracula", in which Dracula was, of course, played by Christopher Lee.

I have a feeling that Christopher Lee could be a key figure in this game.

Ian Mckellan is the same - the man's been in that many films he's now a Knight of the British Empire; that has to count for something in this game!

Spinal Trap:
Rob Reiner -> The Majestic -> Martin Landau -> Sleepy Hollow -> Christopher Lee -> LotR...

And I haven't even seen the movie!

You're right, mr. Saucepan Man. Christopher Lee is a key figure in this game!

As for Kung Pow: that's too easy!
Steve Oedekerk did the screenplay for Bruce Almighty. Jim Carrey plays Bruce, and in Eternal Sunshine of the Spottless Mind he plays Joel Barish. And guess which LotR-character that plays in Eternal-Spottless-Sunshine-thingy! Elijah Wood!!!

Or...go to Bruce Almighty, and then: Jennifer Aniston plays Grace, and also plays in Along Came Polly, with Alec Baldwin as Stan Indursky, who plays in Beetlejuice with Winona Ryder as Lydia, who plays in Edward Scissorhands with Johnny Depp, who plays in POTC with Orlando Bloom....

A lot more complicated, but there you go.

I didn't expect this thread to catch on so quickly. I'll try to do that other movie someone suggested when I find time.

Cheers,

Bravo!

And I found a better connection for "Yellow Submarine". Bernard Hill (aka Theoden) played John Lennon in a 1985 BBC1 dramatisation called "A Journey in the Life".
