Worst Fives Club - Casino where lowest poker hand wins

That's not unusual if the casino offers razz.

[3eyes]

Yeah, I guess the casino is the wrong venue. Should have made it a club of old ladies playing novice poker.

Thanks for playing, Lammetje.
I hereby invite folks to submit spoonerisms in other languages than English (preferably with an attempt to explain the pun to us benighted anglophones).

No Dime to Tie - James Bond visits a dime store to pick out a tie

A Queue to Avril - James Bond attends his first Avril Lavigne concert

Olden Guy - Age doesn’t matter if you’re good with a gun

[3eyes]

Not being a James Bond F=fan, "A Queue to Avril" took me some time to figure out - had to study the film list. Crafty!

Yes that one doesn’t quite fit but it was the best I could do. The Bond films are really hard to do this for— too much alliteration, Golden Gun, Living Day Lights etc.

Yes - alliteration, multi-syllable words, and even initial vowels rule things out for me - I see you've managed with the latter.
And what you did with "A view to a kill" is great! As with Beijing rule, it took me a bit to figure out what movie it was but that's part of the fun.

I should try a more focused set - so far I just go thru lists and collect anything I can spoonerize, think about plots later.

[yllow]

More focused set, let’s try it with Star Wars—

Episode IV - Huh? Ew. Nope. — Luke gives up after coming across disgusting alien creatures

Episode VIII - The Jarst Lead Eye — Luke must defeat a monster (Jarst) with lead eyes

Episode IX - The Wise of Rye Squawker — Luke gets wise to the fact that the Force is no match for rye breading loving birds

Catter’s Hassle—can’t figure that one out

[3eyes]

Catter’s Hassle—can’t figure that one out

I don't blame you. Play on "herding cats" as anarchic chaos.

Hatter's castle (Robert Newton at his most sinister) - quote is an old Western song about a cattle drive (in this case a herd of dogies [orphaned calves]).

Whoopie ti-yi-yo, git along, little dogies!
It's your misfortune and none of my own.
Whoopie ti-yi-yo, git along, little dogies,
for you know Wyoming will be your new home.

[yllow]

Deborah Kerr, James Mason - what a cast! But yes not heard of it

[yllow]

Which film will win best picture this year?

Low Nad Manned — manned space mission runs out of fuel

[yllow]

Or—

Stank Marring Gary Oldman — film about a stench that Gary Oldman can’t get rid of

[3eyes]

Well, it took me awhile to chase down a list so I could figure out what was what, but I finally managed. Stank Marring Gary Oldman is the only one I've seen so far.

[yllow]

I can include which films they are in brackets or spoiler tag next time if it helps

[3eyes]

Good idea. I'll go back and add some spoilers to mine, too. It might encourage more people to participate - I realize this one is a challenge, and not just for non-Anglophones.
