Film Quiz Friday | Taking The Mickey

You’re not seeing double – this week’s film quiz covers a lot of movies where actors play more than one role.

---

You know it’s a big month for dual roles when there are two different Roberts headlining movies in dual roles. This week sees the release of Bong Joon-ho’s long-awaited Mickey 17, with umpteen Robert Pattinson in the title role(s), and a fortnight from now, we’ll see Robert De Niro play rival mob bosses Vito Genovese and Frank Costello in Barry Levinson’s The Alto Knights. And you’ll find questions about dual performances (and more) in this week’s Round 2.

Once you’ve completed this week’s film quiz, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. And if you didn’t like it, then er… it was written by some other guy who just looks and sounds like me. Yeah.
