The Mark Strong But Game

A game where a film is named whose cast contains actors whose performance is usually of a high calibre, such as the titular Mark Strong, but that also has an actor whose output is usually of a lower quality. The game, created by the bald-headed acting legend, plays on actors "asking for the and" in their poster billing, something originally raised by Tom Wilkinson.

Examples of this might be:

  • "The Fifth Element", starring Bruce Willis and Gary Oldman, but Chris Tucker
  • "Leaving Las Vegas", starring Nicolas Cage and Elisabeth Shue, but Julian Sands
  • any film with Keanu Reeves.
