Lockdown Quiz Rounds I

With most of us trapped at home for the foreseeable, I've started once more dabbling in the dark arts of trivia. Put your answers in comments, SHOULD YOU DARE.

Maths in film

1. With twenty-eight films in its home country and three American adaptations, which is the only other film franchise with as many installments as the Carry On series? Godzilla

2. Which was the highest number: Sean Penn's grams, Katherine Heigl's dresses, or Josh Hartnett's days of night? Days Of Night (30, rather than 21 and 27)

3. The Search For Spock, Season Of The Witch, and Mockingjay Part I are all which number in their respective film franchises? Third

4. What is the name of the Star Wars episode which corresponds to the highest prime number in the nine-film series? The Force Awakens

5. What total do you get if you add the numbers in all films whose main characters are either Danny or Debbie Ocean? 55

6. Which 1999 film starred George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube and Spike Jonze as American soldiers trying to steal Iraqi gold at the end of the first Gulf War? Three Kings

7. What number Bond film (excluding the original Casino Royale) was the last to feature Sean Connery before his sort-of return in Never Say Never Again? Diamonds Are Forever

8. Which is the odd one out, and why: Apollo, Days, Ghosts, Years A Slave? Years A Slave - the number is 12, rather than 13

9. Complete the sequence: 16 Candles and Molly Ringwald, The Whole Nine Yards and Bruce Willis, Four Lions and Riz Ahmed, ? and ?. I was looking for any film that contains the number one, and a star of that film - I went with The One and Jet Li

10. What is the highest finite number in the title of any film which adapts characters from the Marvel comics? 6, as in Big Hero 6
