Film Quiz Friday: Black Adam Goes Forth

Can you smell what this week’s film quiz is cooking? Here are some questions about animated duos, TV Doctors, and the movies of Dwayne Johnson.

DC’s Black Adam is out in cinemas next week, which means the hierarchy of power in Film Quiz Friday is about to change. That’s why this can’t wait ‘til next week – the hierarchy will already have changed. And if anyone knows what that means… well, please send your answers on a postcard. In the meantime, have three rounds of movie trivia, including a Dwayne Johnson round.

Once you’ve completed all 30 questions, 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. Dress for questions about movies set in the jungle, cos there’ll be lots of those…
