Stupidly hard work quiz (help!)

If anyone remembers previous years my work sets a stupidly hard quiz for us to have a go at every Christmas. This year's is no different....

I've managed to complete the first 8 puzzles myself but now I'm stuck Xmas Sad Very frustrating as I've got the gist of the puzzles but can't figure out what the answer is!

Here's the first one and here's my answers. If anyone can figure out the final answer (two words 5,7) I'd be ever so grateful 😊

Chef did have a reasonably well known cast so it may well be correct

HaaaaaveyoumetTed · 08/12/2021 17:52

This is really out there, but is REB, the split apple be arrival?

ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 17:54

Not sure....looks more like a rock if I zoom in on it and there's a red circle around one half which must mean something...?

That's what I mean. It's definitely a rock, I found the exact picture on line but the film arrival the poster looks like half of it! Told you it was out there!

Very prepared to be wrong.

Not sure there's a film called broken rock or half a rock? Guess it could be rocky though?

Thegrassisntalwaysgreener · 08/12/2021 17:56

WHI - could that be volcano/lava rather than meteorite

Dante's peak or volcano

HaaaaaveyoumetTed · 08/12/2021 18:00

THA is a wrestler called Fandango I think. Not sure if there's a film?

HaaaaaveyoumetTed · 08/12/2021 18:04

There is, 1985 apparently!

minou123 · 08/12/2021 18:04

What ones are we missing?

SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 18:04

Could Leicester City be Champions (1984)?

rosegoldwatcher · 08/12/2021 18:08

I've found the DOM photo; it's a hurricane.

Hurricane (Denzel movie) 1999?

FoxgloveSummers · 08/12/2021 18:09

Aren’t Leicester city called the foxes? That must be a film

SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 18:09

I had it as Twister. Could be either really... which is the bigger film?
SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 18:10

This is what I have at the moment

SoupDragon · 08/12/2021 18:11

There's a 1996 film called The Rock for that split apple rock.

ApocalypseNowt · 08/12/2021 18:12

Could be soup. Their nickname is apparently 'the foxes' but there's not any big films of that name so I think Champions is more likely

Split Apple Rock is located at Moonraker Way.

Could REB be Moonraker (1979?)

riotlady · 08/12/2021 18:20

I can’t see very well on my phone but the lady in GAN looks like Leslie Mann- if the rugby dude is a wasp then Antman and the Wasp

FoxgloveSummers · 08/12/2021 18:22

Could REE (the golfer) be DRIVE? I think that’s a film and I think it’s a think they do in golf Grin
