Film Quiz Fridays: Big Willie Style!

Share this Article:

With pubs re-opening but regular pub quizzes no closer to returning, we’ve got your weekly fix of film questions right here, including a round on the films of Will Smith.

We started doing these quizzes during lockdown, and as restrictions are eased, we want to declare in one voice that we will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish, we’re going to go on, and we’ve got three more rounds of film-related questions ‘n’ that. Today we celebrate our Film Quiz Friday!

Anyway, as always, this is just for fun and there are no prizes for first place – once you’ve completed this week’s quiz, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. Please do get in touch in the comments and let us know how you did (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. Here goes…
