Gary Numan's is performing here in DC at the 9:30 Club next week, so it seems appropriate to mention him in today's 80's Trivia Challenge. Also, Mel Gibson has been in the news as of late (under circumstances that are quite displeasing). So, can we rope in both celebrities in one 80's Trivia Question? But of course we can.
One of Mel Gibson's films from the early 80's made quite an impression on Gary Numan. So much of an impression that he used the film as the basis for the theme and title of his 1983 album release. Gary Numan even went so far as to dress the part on the cover, wearing an intimidating leather and chains get-up that made him look like a character from the movie. What was the name of this 1981 film?
Bonus Question: Although he's largely considered a one hit wonder in the U.S., Gary Numan hit number one on the U.K. singles and album charts several times during his career. With his success came the wealth that would allow Gary Numan to pursue a rather expensive hobby. His pursuit of this hobby has gotten him additional publicity around the world, and it also got him arrested in India. What is Gary Numan's hobby?
