Jennifer Lawrence, the 21-year-old star of "The Hunger Games" film visited "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” Wednesday and was challenged to compete in his version of the games. One a bit different than the to-the-death finish depicted in the wildly popular novels by Suzanne Collins and the uber-anticipated movie premiering at midnight tonight.
Fallon challenged her to a random object three-point shootout with a basketball hoop. A shootout that involved a mannequin head with hair, a plastic slinky "fun for boys and girls", a McDonald's Shamrock shake, a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and a bow. Each took turns trying to get the items through a basketball hoop at the side of the stage.
Show host Fallon got onto the star when she tried to toss the items out of order.
"Back off," she fired back at him.
Lawrence had the best squat throw technique for the bucket o'chicken toss – which she declared "such a waste." She got her first point with her shammy shake shot but Fallon fought back and tied up the games with his own shammy bucket.
But it was the bow - as in bow and arrow that her character Katniss is famous for using in the books and the film - toss that won her the hunger games. Her bow straddled the hoop long enough to count as a 3-pointer and was declared the winning shot.
“I took that so seriously,” she said, laughing.
