Are these the names of Bonanza episodes or 1980s action films?

Were "Desert Justice" and "Firewalker" on the big screen or the small?

 

The classic western Bonanza ran for 14 seasons from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. Over its 430 episodes, it told many action-packed stories of the Cartwright family.

The episode names almost sound like they could be movie titles. In fact, sometimes they were! Season 10, Episode 26 is called "The Running Man," sharing a name with the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film.

With that in mind, here are 20 different titles. Can you tell which ones are Bonanza episodes and which are action flicks from the 1980s?

18/20. I didn't get a results screen, so I went back to count how many I got right--turns out you have to answer ALL the questions to get your results! (Somehow I skipped over #11.)

17 for 20. Best book on Bonanza is by David Greenland.
Did you know NBC gave producer David Dortort a choice between axing Bonanza or High Chaparral, because it was too much $$ to keep both on air? That Hoss appeared in a 3 Stooges movie when the boys visited Venus? And that Michael Landon and Lorne Greene are buried next to each other?

Now that you mention it (and I think about it), the movie was Enter The Dragon--and the blonde guy he absolutely stomped at the end of it was Chuck Norris! Only time he ever died on screen (so sorry, Ranger Walker).

19/20 I'm a HUGE fan of Bonanza, and I've seen almost all of them.
