Much of the fun in this game (for me, anyway) are the various creative answers that really push the boundaries.

And hey, the bus-gate for the compound was certainly a decent part of the setting for Mad Max 2 (e.g. during the iconic "just walk away" speech from Lord Humungus).

Short Circuit 2

As for interracial buddies, the movie is focused on a white guy, a robot, and a borderline offensive Indian stereotype all becoming the best of friends.

Crossroads w/ Joe Seneca:

IMDB wrote:Ralph Macchio is Lightning Boy. A kid who can make a slide guitar sing. Blind Dog is an old pro who knows it. Together, they're headed to a place where deals are made. And legends are born.

I don't think anyone's going to top this. Nonetheless, I will counter with

Straight to Hell,

a Western that pits thieving hitmen vs. bounty hunter cowboys. Featuring:

Joe Strummer
Courtney Love
Elvis Costello
The Pogues

All of whom are better known for their musical careers.

Tish pshaw; Mick Jagger is a far more influential and well-known singer and musician than Whitney Houston, and he specifically starred as a bounty hunter in Freejack.
