Ok, throw some random things into the mix to give a chalenge
1) "Hey Dude" I honestly dont think the actors from this went anywhere, so lord only knows if thats even linkable.
2) "WaterWorld"
3) "Akira"
4) Rocky Horror
5) The Producers(2004)

*scuttles away to solve his own problem*

Eric Storm · 2009-09-02 16:41:45

Quick IMDB search:

1. Hey Dude:
Hey Dude > David Brisbin
David Brisbin > Boston Legal
Boston Legal > William Shatner (do I need go further?)

2. Waterworld:
Waterworld > Kevin Costner
Kevin Costner > Dragonfly
Dragonfly > Kathy Bates
Kathy Bates > The Day the Earth Stood Still
TDTESS > Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves > The Matrix

3. Akira:
I had to go far afield on this one. There may be a shorter path.
Akira > Tetsusho Genda
Genda > The Big O
The Big O > Steve Blum
Steve Blum > Wolverine and the X-Men
WatX > Stan Lee
The Stan Lee connection is well established.

Alternately, continuing from Steve Blum (if you allow video games about movies...)
Steve Blum > Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Video Game)
T:RF > Shia LeBeouf
Shia LeBeouf > I, Robot
I, Robot > Will Smith
Will Smith > Independence Day
ID4 > Brent Spiner

4. Rocky Horror Picture Show:
RHPS > Tim Curry
Tim Curry > Gargoyles
Gargoyles > Take your pick. Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, Michael Dorn, Kate Mulgrew, Tress MacNeille, Brent Spiner, Nichelle Nichols (Yeah, I know Tress wasn't on Star Trek, but her connection has been well established already.)

5. The Producers (2005):
TP > Matthew Broderick
Matthew Broderick > Ferris Bueller's Day Off
FBDO > Ben Stein
Ben Stein > multiple paths. I choose.... Animaniacs
Animaniacs > Tress MacNeille
Tress has already been established.

Any questions? 3dbig_smile

yes who do you think we are nights echo Cognitive Neuroscientists?

nightsecho · 2009-09-09 04:00:36

i thought it would be obvious to most people

Neitherspace · 2009-09-15 20:44:57

ok check this one out Britney spears little sister was in Zoey 101 with Victoria Justice who played SHelly Marks in iCarly which stared Miranda Cosgrove(who was the mouthy girl in School of rock btw) but also was in Drake and Josh in which Allison Scagliotti played Drakes GF who is Claudia Donovan on ware house 13 wich stars Saul Rubinek aka Kivas Fajo (the guy who kidnaped Data for his private collection) On ST: TNG

Britney Spears>Jamie Spears>Victoria Justace>Miranda Cosgrove>Allison Scagliotti>Saul Rubinek

and thanks to Brutal legend (this works with a number of rockers but ozzy's the only one i remember is in Brutal legend off the top of my head)

Ozzy Osborne>Jack Black>Miranda Cosgrove>Allison Scagliotti>Saul Rubinek

os the prince of darkness has a closer connection to ST that the princess of pop...I'm happy w that

Oh btw Echo
mark paul gossler also conects to malcom in the middle since the mom from that is on his new show

oh and speaking of malcom in the middle niki cox form los vegas was on unhapily ever after w Justin Berfield who played resse on Malcom so that connect the pussycat dolls (guest spot on los vegas)

Neitherspace · 2009-09-17 06:47:05

same way i know the red head in the new KFC ads was in 2 episodes of Stargate Atlantis as a Genai (the one who blamed tela for her fathers death)

Nadez · 2009-09-17 08:45:40

Wow..Okay guys a little bit too much time on your hands? let me get straight what your all doing..your finding any movie..and then connecting it to Startrek? It CANT be connected to EVERYTHING thats simply..improbable

Actually, you can skip Sean William Scott.

Dan Akroid and Alyson Hannigan were in "My Step-Mother is an Alien".

and just to give the brits a shot
No Heroics
Skins
Being Human
life on mars UK
Demons
Hex
Are you being served

i know more UK shows but that should get you started all you need to is link em to the original 11th hour since Patrick Stewart played Dr. Hood in that

OH and red dwrf since i know a way to link that to Malcom in the Middle which in turn links las vegas, and that 70's show

Cristina Cole was in an episode of Dr. Who (The Shakespeare code)

Dr. Who is already linked

Eric Storm · 2009-09-24 03:12:30

Yes, but establishing the wider connections is helpful. Like this:

Patrick Baladi > Agatha Christie: Poirot
Connection established above from this point on...

3dsmile

Further...

"Skins" (2007):
"Skins" > Nina Wadia
