                            This play was first introduced in American Football by San Francisco wide receiver RC Owens in 1957

                            In the final seconds of a game against the Detroit Lions Quarterback YA Tittle heaved a pass toward the end zone with Owens making a leaping catch despite having a pair of defenders covering him tightly Thus the play won the game for San Francisco and went on to receive mainstream cred It was coined however by Tittle who named it after a French catchphrase ldquoallez hoprdquo meaning ldquolets gordquo used by circus acrobats before leaping in the air

                            Although the phrase has been used as the name of a syndicated comic strip as well as a Billboard No1 Hit by Hollywood Argyles we are probably more familiar with it due to its cross-over to another sport (to describe a similar play) Name the phraseplay

                                In the final seconds of a game against the Detroit Lions Quarterback YA Tittle heaved a pass toward the end zone with Owens making a leaping catch despite having a pair of defenders covering him tightly Thus the play won the game for San Francisco and went on to receive mainstream cred It was coined however by Tittle who named it after a French catchphrase ldquoallez hoprdquo meaning ldquolets gordquo used by circus acrobats before leaping in the air

                                Although the phrase has been used as the name of a syndicated comic strip as well as a Billboard No1 Hit by Hollywood Argyles we are probably more familiar with it due to its cross-over to another sport (to describe a similar play) Name the phraseplay

                                        One such casting coup he attempted in the late 80s was for a film titled ldquoZameenrdquo He brought together two of the top stars of that era (one fairly well established while the other well on the way to stardom) for the film that also had Rajnikanth and Vinod Khanna as the other leads

                                        Though the movie got shelved the director maintained that contrary to popular belief it wasnrsquot because the two stars were difficult to get to work together He said that if anyone it was Vinod Khanna who threw his weight around and caused problems during filming Who is the director Who are the two stars who were to never share screen space in a movie ever again

                                        Although the phrase has been used as the name of a syndicated comic strip as well as a Billboard No1 Hit by Hollywood Argyles we are probably more familiar with it due to its cross-over to another sport (to describe a similar play) Name the phraseplay
