 Animals in Movies
| In "Lethal Weapon" (1987), we learn that LAPD officer Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) has a dog. What's the dog's name? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Sam. Sam appears in three of the four "Lethal Weapon" films -- for some reason, he's nowhere to be seen in "Lethal Weapon 3" (1992).
| Riggs isn't the only character in the "Lethal Weapon" series to have a pet -- Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) and his family have a cat. What is the cat's name? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Burbank. All of the choices were references to American cities, but the Murtaughs' cat is named Burbank -- after the California city, presumably.
| The dog in "Poltergeist" (1982) has a rather unusual name -- an initial followed by a one-syllable word. What's the first letter (the initial) of this dog's name? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
E . The dog's name, as heard in dialogue and seen on his food bowl, is "E. Bug." Anyone know where that odd name comes from? I sure don't.
Romeo. Joan, in a celebratory mood, treats Romeo to a special meal after she completes her latest novel at the start of the film.
| In the first two films of the "Alien" series, Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) has a cat. This cat's name seems to be a variation of a common American surname. What is it? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Jones. The cat's name is "Jonesy" [pronounced JOAN-zee].
| In 1974's "Jaws," an early sign that a shark is cruising the beachgoer-filled waters of Amity Island is evident when a young man's dog, who has been fetching a stick for him in the shallows, is suddenly nowhere to be seen. The young man calls for his dog repeatedly, but the black Labrador Retriever is never to be seen again. What is this dog's name? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Pippet. I used to think this dog's name was "Pippin" -- after the musical of the same name -- but script references make it clear that the ill-fated lab's name was "Pippet."
| In "Short Cuts" (1993), LAPD officer Gene Shepard (Tim Robbins) spends most of the film loathing the family dog, and he eventually abandons it many miles away from the family home (only to retrieve it later). This dog is a male, but it has a female's name. What is the dog's name? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Susie. Gene, at the end of his rope, drops Susie off in a residential neighborhood far from home. The family of Vern Miller (Huey Lewis) finds Susie and takes him in... but Gene later has a change of heart, tracks Susie down, and brings him home to his wife and kids.
| Here's an easy one, if you've seen the film. We learn at the very end of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" (1989) that, as a boy, Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr. (Harrison Ford) had a beloved dog as a child. What was this dog's name? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Indiana. Henry, Jr. actually took his dog's name as his own nickname. For the record, "Indiana Jones" producer George Lucas once had a dog named Indiana!
| In the John Grisham courtroom drama "A Time To Kill" (1996), Jake Brigance (Matthew McConaughey) has a dog. Jake fears that his dog might have died in the Ku Klux Klan-engineered destruction of his house, but his prized pet shows up hale and hearty after all. What is the dog's name? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Max. Less than two minutes after Harry Rex Vonner (Oliver Platt) insists that Jake's dog died in the fire that claimed the Brigance house, Max bounds from the nearby forest into his grateful owner's arms.
| In "Back To the Future" (1985), Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) uses his dog as a "test pilot" for his time machine. What is this dog's name? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Einstein. Einstein comes through the test run completely unharmed.
| Also in "Back To the Future," when Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) visits 1955, he learns that the "younger" Dr. Brown has a puppy. What is this puppy's name? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Copernicus. The implication seems to be that Doc Brown names his dogs after prominent scientists. Nicolas Copernicus (1473 - 1543) is frequently referred to as the founder of modern astronomy. (If you answered "Einstein," you were thinking of Doc Brown's adult dog in 1985, not his puppy in 1955!)
| In "Rocky" (1976), Adrian (Talia Shire) gives Robert "Rocky" Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) a bulldog. After what football legend is this dog named? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Dick Butkus. The bulldog's name is Butkus. Rocky also has turtles named Cuff and Link. Heh.
| In "Star Trek: Generations" (1994), Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner) weeps with joy when he learns that his cat has survived the crash of the saucer section of the USS ENTERPRISE. What is Data's cat's name? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Spot. Spot was introduced, of course, on the TV series "Star Trek: The Next Generation," but she (originally written as a "he"!) appeared in the first "TNG" theatrical release, as well.
| In "Strange Brew" (1983), Bob McKenzie (Rick Moranis) and his brother Doug (Dave Thomas) have a dog with an unusual name. What body part is a part of their dog's name? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
head. The McKenzie brothers' dog is named Hosehead, a variation on the mild insult "hoser" that the brothers use incessantly.
| In "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993), Jack Skellington (voiced by Chris Sarandon and Danny Elfman) has a ghostly dog whose name is actually a number. What is the number? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
0 . Jack calls Zero by name several times throughout the film.
| The T-800 Model 101 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991) tricks the T-1000 (Robert Patrick) into revealing that it has killed the Voights, foster parents of John Connor (Edward Furlong), by deliberately calling the Voights' dog by the wrong name during a telephone call. By what *incorrect* name did the T-800 call the family dog? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Wolfie. The T-800 asks John what the family dog's name is, and John replies, "Max." The T-800, on the phone with a person who *seems* to be John's foster mother Janelle (Jenette Goldstein), asks, "How's Wolfie"? The T-1000, impersonating Janelle and unaware of the dog's actual name, responds with, "Wolfie's fine." The T-800 hangs up immediately and says to John, "Your foster parents are dead." Pretty clever ploy, there, Arnold.
| Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn), in "Breakfast At Tiffany's" (1961), has a cat that she rejects in a tantrum, but then chases in the rain at the very end of the film. What was the cat's name? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Cat. A cat named Cat. Go figure.
| During his travels, Navin R. Johnson (Steve Martin), in 1979's "The Jerk," comes across a stray dog whom he eventually takes in as a pet. The name that the dog bears throughout most of the film is not printable at this site, but that's irrelevant for the purposes of this question. Navin's *original* idea for this dog's name is identical to that of a certain food item. What is it? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Lifesaver. Since Navin is under the impression that the dog has warned a motel full of people about a fire (which does not, as it turns out, exist), he wants to name the dog "Lifesaver." A fellow motel patron disagrees with this idea, though, and suggests a more appropriate -- and unprintable -- name for the dog.
Orion. The final words of a dying alien -- "The galaxy is on Orion's belt" -- refer to the fact that a microcosmic galaxy is stored in an orb hanging from the collar of his beloved cat, Orion.
| The four boys featured in "Stand By Me" (1986) are terrified of a dog guarding a local junkyard. What is this dog's name? | Dogs and Cats in the Movies!
|
Chopper. According to local legend, Chopper could be commanded to attack specific parts of an intruder's anatomy.

Dachshund. The Dachshund is a part of the American Kennel Club and is a part of the hound group. The Dachshund is my favorite dog! In "All Dogs Go To Heaven", Itchy is sort of the side kick of his friend, Charlie.
| In the movie "102 Dalmations", who is the puppy without the spots? | Dogs In Movies
|
Oddball. When dalmations are born, they don't have spots anyway. I guess Oddball grew a little bit slower than the other puppies. She gets her spots though.
