In the 'Lethal Weapon' films, police partners Glover and Gibson fight various criminals and other vicious bad guys, such as smugglers and counterfeiters.

6. Which actor/actress pair made several appearances in films together in the late 1970s, including a memorable one in the 1977 movie 'Smokey and the Bandit'?

Answer: Blazing Saddles

Together, Wilder and Pryor appeared in 'Silver Streak' in 1976, 'Stir Crazy' in 1980, 'See No Evil, Hear No Evil' in 1989 and 'Another You' in 1991. Pryor was set to appear in the 1974 film 'Blazing Saddles' with Wilder, but his presence in the film was rejected by the studio. He was credited as a writer on the film.

'Blazing Saddles' was the story of a black sheriff in a racist town of the old west. Gene Wilder plays the sheriff's sidekick, and together they foil the plot of a railroad magnate to destroy the town.
9. In the late 1990s, which popular comedic actor made his first of several appearances with Owen Wilson in the film 'The Cable Guy'?

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson have appeared in a number of movies together, including 'Permanent Midnight' (1998), 'Meet the Parents' (2000), 'The Royal Tenenbaums'(2001), 'Zoolander' (2001), 'Meet the Fockers' (2004) and 'Starsky & Hutch' (2004). Let's hope their productive and amusing on-screen relationship continues for many years to come.
10. Uma Thurman appeared in three films ('Gattaca', 'Tape' and 'Chelsea Walls') with which actor, who formerly happened to be her husband?

Answer: Ethan Hawke

Thurman and Hawke's ill-fated marriage began with Hawke after they made the 1997 film 'Gattaca' together. In 2001 they participated in two more films together, 'Tape' and 'Chelsea Walls' (though, in the latter, Hawke only appeared in voice).
