Okay, I give up. But while searching I looked at Wikipedia's entry and it referred to the knife game under these names:

Quote:
The knife game, nerve, bishop, or 5-finger fillet

Heh heh, Bishop. I wonder if it's named after the character from Aliens or vice versa. Or pure coincidence.


You see the same knife game done in the sci-fi satire "Dark Star".

Hmm, you may have got your own quiz answer wrong, not sure how to score that? smile

"Bishop's Knife trick was previously in Roman Polanski's Knife in Water (1962)"

I didn't want to give the title away, so put the films original title up earlier in the thread, i.e. Nóz w wodzie (original title)
