I think everyone missed the disclaimer at the beginning of the tournament.

*A vote for Back to the Future Part 2 is really a vote for The Matrix Revolutions. Any attempt to change said vote will result in severe punishment.

Long story short, The Matrix is winning. Sorry.

That'll do it for Round 1, folks. BTTF Part 2 closes things out in strong fashion, nearly getting the coveted sweep.

For those interested, here is how each franchise fared in the opening round.

James Bond- 12-12 (4 Connery, 4 Moore, 2 Craig, 1 Brosnan, 1 Dalton)
Alien- 3-3
Terminator- 2-4
Back to the Future- 2-1
The Matrix 2-1
Star Wars 6-5 (3 OT, 1 PT, 1 ST, 1 spin-off)
Lord of the Rings 3-3
Jurassic Park 2-3

Round 2 will begin later today. Thanks for the voting.
