Quiz Day, Part One - Joel Silberg!

Since I just heard that director Joel Silberg died back in February, I figured today would be a fine time to honor and appreciate the legendary auteur and his culturally groundbreaking gems of the silver screen from the late 80s and early 90s.

Match the film synopses with the correct title of everyone's favorite director's masterpieces! GO!


SYNOPSES

1) Kevin Laird is a Beverly Hills school teacher by day and a mystery man by night. Using his lambada dance moves to first earn the kid's respect and acceptance, Kevin then teaches them academics. But when a jealous student exposes Kevin's double life, his two worlds collide, threatening his job and reputation.

2) Four American babes on vacation in the Middle East run into trouble when they are imprisoned by corrupt army officials.

3) A struggling young jazz dancer meets up with two break-dancers. Together they become the sensation of the street crowds. (Features Ice-T in his film debut as a club MC).

4) An ex-con and break-dancer helps save a neighborhood from a greedy developer while trying to win a rap contest.

5) Two hotshot LAPD cops get in hot water after breaking up a fight at a local bar. They get suspended from the force and have to find a way to pay the rent. First they try construction work, then stripping, but newspaper reporter Janice Edwards has a really good idea...professional wrestling.

6) A San Francisco narcotics officer goes undercover to South America in an attempt to bust a drug lord and his operation. Of course, the assignment involves her ability to participate in a certain breast-altering operation to smuggle the goods into the States, though her brassiere size may be too large for her to pull off her candidacy.
