Creating a "Stages Of Separation" thread...

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Using ten films you own, can you link actors that star in one film and then another, then another actor from the second film who stars in a third, with an actor in the third who also stars in the fourth etc.

The rules are: you have to use films that you own.

Mine...

Zatoichi TAKESHI KITANO

Battle Royale Takeshi Kitano and CHIAKI KURIYAMA

Kill Bill vol.1 Chiaki Kuriyama and MICHAEL MADSEN

I'm afraid I'm going to have to steal the Chiaki Kuriyama link...

Oh, and voice actresses count, dammit!

1. End of Evangelion - YUKO MIYAMURA

2. Battle Royale - Yuko Miyamura and CHIAKI KURIYAMA

3. Kill Bill Vol 1 - Chiaki Kuriyama and UMA THERMAN

4. Pulp Fiction - Uma Thurman and JOHN TRAVOLTA

5. Face/Off - John Travolta and NICHOLAS CAGE

6. Con Air - Nicholas Cage and JOHN MALKOVICH

10. Snatch - Benicio Del Toro

I could have gone for the easy Snatch/Lock Stock/Mean Machine linkage, but I felt that'd be a little too cheap.
