Jae Onasi Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 My apologies if there's another 6 degrees thread, the search function's not working right now. While watching a video of Moon over Bourbon Street that Bob Lion54 linked, which featured scenes from the movie Interview with a Vampire, I noticed Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Christian Slater were all in the movie. Tom Cruise was in "A Few Good Men" with Kevin Bacon, which reminded me of the game. It works like this if you're for instance trying to link Carrie Fisher to Kevin Bacon: Carrie Fisher was in Star Wars with Harrison Ford was in The Fugitive with Tommy Lee Jones who was in Batman Forever Val Kilmer who was in Heat with Robert Dinero who was in Sleepers with KEVIN BACON! So, in this scenario, Carrie Fisher has a Bacon number of 5, though there are shorter routes that would give her a lower Bacon number--how small can you make her Bacon number? How about Katherine Hepburn? Your favorite actor/actress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk102 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Tom Hanks starred in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon. 0 degrees. I think that should be 1 degree. You should only score 0 if your favorite actor is Kevin Bacon. In fact, probably should add +1 to all those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Val Kilmer was in Heat with Robert DeNiro. ?!!! Diane Venora and Val Kilmer were both in Heat with Robert DeNiro.

spinkle Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I played this game all the way to the end but I couldn't beat the end guy =( Seriously though, I spent about three years obsessed with the Kevin Bacon Game and I was very VERY good...then I got very VERY bored. Ah, the joys of college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlon Brando starred in The Score with Robert DeNiro. Robert DeNiro starred in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon. AbE: Here's an easy one: James Dean. I can do it in 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Here's an easy one: James Dean. I can do it in 3 James Dean – Dennis Hopper in Rebel Without A Cause Dennis Hopper – Jack Nicholson – Easy Rider Jack Nicholson – Kevin Bacon – A Few Good Men I bet a cookie that was the one you were thinking of. How about Cary Grant? Cary Grant – Katharine Hepburn – Bringing Up Baby (a comedy I highly recommend) Katharine Hepburn – Warren Beatty – Love Affair (1994) which is a remake of An Affair to Remember starting Cary Grant (the Grant version is better). Warren Beatty – Oliver Platt – Bulworth (1998) Oliver Platt – Kevin Bacon – Flatliners (1990) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I bet a cookie that was the one you were thinking of. Ooo, I love cookies! Nope: James Dean in Giant (as well as Rebel Without a Cause) with Dennis Hopper. Dennis Hopper in Waterworld with Kevin Costner. Kevin Costner in JFK with Kevin Bacon. How about Cary Grant? Cary Grant in North by Northwest with Martin Landau. Martin Landau in Rounders (as well as The Majestic) with Matt Damon. Matt Damon was in Ocean's Eleven (as well as 12 and 13) with Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon. I think we tied. How about Jane Seymour? Jane Seymour was in Wedding Crashers with Christopher Walken. Christopher Walken was in Deer Hunter with Robert DeNiro. Robert DeNiro was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon. How about Jamie Foxx (saw the sneak preview for The Kingdom tonight so...)?

mimartin Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Ooo, I love cookies! Nope: James Dean in Giant (as well as Rebel Without a Cause) with Dennis Hopper. Dennis Hopper in Waterworld with Kevin Costner. Kevin Costner in JFK with Kevin Bacon. Did not even think about Giant. (My Texas citizenship is likely to be revoked). You also get extra points for the Waterworld reference. Much like Kevin Costner I’d like to forget about that one. (Although Waterworld make for a good water stunt show at Universal Studios Amusement Park). I guess I owe you a cookie, chocolate chip alright?

Jae Onasi Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 How about Homer? (too easy ) Brad Pitt was Achilles in the movie Troy and starred with Kevin Bacon in Sleepers. Unless you're meaning the Simpsons version instead of the classic. How about Glenn Close (another favorite actress--anyone see her in Dangerous Liaisons?).
