Quiz - Who are we?

[Humean]

1. Marcel Cerdan and Edith Piaf

4. Max Baer and Jean Harlow

5. Rocky Graziano and Paul Newman? (not sure this is what your looking for, but my best guess).


3. Here I really have no idea, but a shot in the dark would be Oscar Albarado and Koichi Wajima.

1,4 and 5 is correct but 3 is not.

Paul Newman was Butch Cassidy and he played Rocky Graziano in the biopic Somebody Up There Likes Me, one of the better boxing films.

I'm not sure what the Dollop is but there have always been a lot of tall tales told about Errol Flynn, many of them untrue. He was certainly a wild character though, with an appetite for young women that got him put up on trial for statutary rape.

Its a podcast.

And yea the underage girls thing is part of it, but far from the most of it. Guy needs a legit old timey True Hollywood Stories episode. Its that epic.

Dude I listened to that Dollop podcast, good shout thanks! Errol Flynn was one helluva bad man. It's crazy that such characters exist, men who live their lives full-throttle, reminds me of Monzon

I looked up some more stuff about Errol after listening to the podcast and there's a funny story about his postmortem [look at the 'Post Script' section in the link, about halfway down the page]. There were two postmortems: firstly, in Vancouver (where he died); and secondly, in California. Flynn had a number of genital warts on the end of his penis, and one of the pathologists in Vancouver decided to remove them and put them into a jar of formaldehyde (to be used as a class-aid, purportedly). Another pathologist in Vancouver saw this, however, and ordered the warts to be put back! So they scotch-taped the warts back to Flynns penis before shipping the body down to California, haha

There is apparently a movie coming out about Flynn later this year, 'In Like Flynn' from the director who did 'Highlander'. Think it'll be a case of having to edit stuff out rather than putting things in!

3. Best of pals, the shotgun and the Samurai. Who are we?

Is the shotgun Monzon? i.e. 'Escopeta'?

[Bundana]

Unfortunately, these require no logic at all.

What do they require then, in your opinion?

Monzon is right but no it's not his trainer.
