Sixteen stars
In this chapter
Everyone wants to be in the film, for an Oscar. Sixteen are hidden under scenery all over the lot; script in hand, Seymour hands them out, and the cameras roll.
Ask anyone while carrying the script: "HI THERE! DO YOU WANT TO BE IN MY NEW MOVIE?". They all do, but only for an Oscar. Sixteen Oscars lie about the game, nearly all under scenery that can be picked up. With the script, the scenery and the Oscar all wanting a hand, the routine is: put the script down nearby, pick up the scenery, put it down out of the way, pick up the Oscar, pick up the script, deliver.
The verified playthrough hands them out in this order:
| Oscar found | under | given to |
|---|---|---|
| SPECIAL EFFECTS | the barrel | Pippa |
| THE LIFT | the yukka plant | the doorman |
| A CORRIDOR | the packing case | Sal |
| A BEDROOM | the bedknob | Rick (now at Sal's) |
| THE STAIRCASE | the chandelier leg | the body in THE LIBRARY |
| SHERLOCK BONES | the leaves | the jailed cowboy (THE LOCKUP) |
| THE LOCKUP | the packing case | Towser |
| FRANK EINSTEIN | the railing | Frank (THE SECRET LAB) |
| THE SECRET LAB | (lying there) | King Kong |
| the village hut | the packing case | Tarzan |
| the parrot's hut | the barrel (chapter 5) | the pirate |
| MORE TREE HUTS | the wooden window | Lil |
| MGAMBA TREE HUTS | the leaves | the woman on Kong's roof |
| CASTLE EXIT | the leaves | Dorothy |
| MINGS ARMOURY | (lying there) | Ming |
| THE SPACE BASE | the air vent | Sindy |
Two need tricks. The chandelier leg over THE STAIRCASE can only be taken by standing on the hanging chandelier: climb from INSIDE SAUCY SALS by the piano stool, the piano and the chandeliers there, across onto it. Take the leg and the chandelier falls; the Oscar it hid can then be reached at the top of a jump from the bar.
And MINGS ARMOURY, above the space base, is reached only by jumping into FLASH BOREDOM's booth just as the machine stops: Seymour arrives at the space base still rising and sails on up.
And yes, the body in the library takes one. He was acting all along.
The last Oscar goes to Sindy in THE MALT SHOP.
