Round 10: Tossup 19

The BBC rejected the splicing of violent footage from a film starring this actor into the music video for Iron Maiden’s “The Trooper.” The title poem of a 1987 collection by Sandra Cisneros is titled for this actor’s notorious autobiography, My Wicked, Wicked Ways. Track 9 on The Clash’s album Combat Rock is a tribute to this actor’s son, a Time photojournalist who was likely murdered by the Viet Cong during a motorcycle trip through Cambodia. (15[1])This actor’s upbringing by a biologist father motivated his fistfight with a director over the death of 25 (*) horses on the set of The Charge of the Light Brigade. Two of this actor’s earliest climactic fight scenes pit him against antagonists played by Basil Rathbone. The first of this actor’s (10[1])films to be scored by Erich Korngold was Captain Blood, which established his pairings (10[1])with frequent co-star Olivia de Havilland and director Michael Curtiz. For 10 points, name this Australian star of swashbucklers like The Adventures of Robin Hood. ■END■
