00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:31.359
an action icon begin? Question two? In The Empire strikes Back,

00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:49.240
Ford did Han deliver that became a legendary line. Question three.
10
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:51.640
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom opens in a
11
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.520
Shanghai night club, with a cheeky nod to George Lucas's
12
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.719
other saga set in a galaxy far far away? What
13
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:06.560
is the club called? Question four? Before Harrison Ford donned
14
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:10.280

16
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:23.439
p I Question five. Harrison Ford also brought CIA analyst

Present Danger, which best selling author created the character of
19
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:37.799
Jack Ryan. We'll be right back with these answers after
20
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:46.079
this break. Welcome back. Question one. What is Harrison Ford's birthday? Answer?
21
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:50.959
July thirteenth, nineteen forty two. Born in Chicago on July thirteenth,
22
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:53.799
nineteen forty two, Ford would go on to headline some
23
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.560
of the most successful summer blockbusters. His mid July birthday
24
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.879
fittingly aligns with the season his franchises help define. Question two,
25
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.120
what was Hans Solo's two word reply to I Love
26
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:09.039
you an Empire answer? I know. Ford proposed the line
27
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.000
on set, and director Irvin Kirshner embraced it. The understated
28
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.599

29
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.000
Star Wars' most quoted moments. Question three, what is the
30
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.560
Shanghai nightclub's name in Temple of Doom? Answer? Club Obi Wan.
31
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.560
The name is a playful easter egg, linking the Indiana
32
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:32.919
Jones and Star Wars universes. It highlights Lucasfilm's intertwined creative heritage,
33
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:38.039
with Spielberg directing Indian Lucas producing. Question four, which actor
34
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.960
turned down Indiana Jones because of Magnum p I Answer
35
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.000
Tom Selling, CBS wouldn't release Selk from his television contract,
36
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.680
forcing him to pass on the role. His screen test survives,
37
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:54.120
and Ford's casting ultimately helped define the character's cinematic legacy.
38
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:59.319
Question five Who created Jack Ryan? Answer? Tom Clancy. Tom
39
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.520
Clancy's tech no Thrillers introduced Jack Ryan, who has been
40
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:06.639
portrayed by multiple actors over the decades. Ford's grounded take
41
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:10.280
helped cement the character as an iconic action intelligence hero.
