    Hi all

    See the attached image for a t-shirt that depicts movie characters using low res pixels.

    I'm not a movie buff by any means but I'd love to know who all of the characters are.

    I've put some of my thoughts below. If people could suggest the missing answers (or correct any mistakes) then I'll update this post to fill in the blanks.

    Any question marks in my data below means that I'm not sure...

    I'm not sure if I can post links to stuff that is for sale but if anyone wants the link to the item then DM me. Cheers.

    Thanks in advance!

    5,06 is Patrick Bateman from American Psycho I reckon.

    line 5 Is missing from OP actually, think its 2 from natural born killers, three from matrix, Patrick Bateman, rocky horror, It, Mary Poppins and Jackie brown.

    Ned Kelly is actually the Black Knight fro Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

    For the Bonds on line 10, I'd say:

    10 04 is Ursula Andress in Dr. No
    10 05 is Baron Samedi in Live & Let Die
    10 06 is Jaws from Moonraker

    I think it's almost certainly meant to be Predator going by the way they have paired characters from other films but in fairness you could definitely go either or with that one as there's not much between the way Arnie looks in either film.

    That's what they want you to think!
