(Both our buzzers go off at the same time. Sirens wail and a trumpet fanfare blast forth from the studio speakers.)
Oh! It looks like we got ourselves a SIMULTANEOUS SHOWDOWN!!!

I look around at all the excitement going on. "A 'what' now?!" I say, looking confused at the host.

A Simultaneous Showdown occurs when both contestants buzz in at the exact same time, as has just happened, BOTH contestants will have a chance to answer the question. However, everything gets tripled. Triple the required responses, triple the point value, triple the transformation penalty, and triple the FUN!
This question is now worth SIXTY points, there are now THREE parts to this question, and the loser of this Showdown will have THREE TIMES the transformation!

I glance over at Michael. As if things weren't complicated enough already. I think to myself. "So what are the three parts to the question?"

(I feel almost overwhelmed, but the opportunity for a monumental lead this early in the game overrides my fears and steel myself for the question to come.) Alright, so what's the question?

Remember, contestants, this Showdown operates under the assumption that, had either of you been first, you'd have gotten the answer right.
So here it is, "This movie (the correct answer to the original question) was in fact a parody of another hit movie that featured 'Han Solo's' actor. Name the original hit movie, the actor who played the lead, and the character he played."

*trying to reason my way through*Okay, Harrison Ford was the guy who played Han Solo, and he wasn't in 'Wrongfully Accused', but what was it a parody of?
*cogs of recognition finally doing their job* Aha! (I write down my answers in the order they were asked for.)

Guess its a good thing we tied. I was wrong about the original questions answer. I think to myself as I write down my answers. "The Fugitive". "Tommy Lee Jones". Crud I can't remember the characters name. I think to myself before writing down "Dr. Lentz".
