Embarrassing Fail in “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”: Every movie fan knows the answer to this $125,000 question, only the candidate doesn’t!

It is often easy to get the right answer from the couch. Very different in the studio of the popular RTL quiz “Who wants to become a millionaire?”, where many spectators sit in the room and you sit directly opposite Günther Jauch. Moreover, the question she gave up on with the candidate Laura Brodda required a certain specialist knowledge: the fashion blogger from Mainz should have been familiar with sequels in addition to clothing…

After Laura Brodda had a nice chat with Jauch and used up all her jokes, she got this question for 125,000 euros: “Which cult movie has a total of four sequels?”

The usual four possible answers were as follows:

• A: “Kevin – Home Alone”
• B: “Pulp Fiction”
• C: “Forest Gump”
• B: “Basic Instinct”

Would you have known the correct answer right away?

Does “Pulp Fiction 2” exist or not?

As a regular FILMSTARTS reader, you should already know the answer – although it may not be that simple after all…

Of course you can do that first “Pulp Fiction” to rule out. Quentin Tarantino would probably rather give himself a bullet than allow a “Pulp Fiction 2” without his participation. In the years following the cult classic’s theatrical release, the “Inglourious Basterds” director occasionally mentioned very loose ideas for a sequel, but nothing concrete ever materialized.

Also a sequel “Forest Gump” is kind of nonsense. Though you should never say never – after all, a Bollywood remake called “Laal Singh Chaddha” was released just last year, and no one seriously expected that:

Kevin is always home alone

To the erotic psychological thriller “Basic Instinct” However, there is a belated sequel that came out in 2006 starring Sharon Stone but without Michael Douglas. “Basic Instinct – New Game for Catherine Tramell” failed so badly with critics and audiences that no one seriously thought about recording a third part after that.

Incidentally, the candidate himself decided to leave at this point – and continued to do so afterwards called the correct answer: “Kevin – Home Alone”. The comedy starring Macaulay Culkin as a burglar fear came to German cinemas in 1991 and was continued in 1992 with “Kevin – Alone in New York”. Much less well known are 1997’s “Home Alone” (with a different main character, but similar concept), 2002’s “Kevin – Alone Against All” (again with Kevin, but of course no longer with Macaulay Culkin) and “Home Alone: ​​The Christmas Coup”, a repeat of 2012.

In 2021, “Kevin – Home Alone” was also relaunched for Disney+ under the title “Not Home Alone Again”. But that was not taken into account in this question…
