So what are taglines anyway? Taking their cue from cigarette, soft drink and beer commercials, taglines are reminders. They’re catchy and witty one-liners plastered across movie posters, as a studio’s marketing department’s effort to familiarize moviegoers with a film and make them really want to see it. Think of them as catch phrases, that if they were songs, studio suits would be more than glad to have audiences humming them as they exit the theater.

OK, so here’s the challenge. Since 2003 was another summer full of sequels, savvy marketing experts had inundated us all with catchy sequel taglines to their films. How many can you pick out from the original movies?

Here’s the score card:

b. You get one or two right. You’re not too far gone, but you’re a candidate for geek of the week.


c. You get more than three right, seek professional help. You’re seriously becoming a geek.

d. You get all five correct. You’re either under 13, or a card-carrying geek. Write a trivia book and make millions.
