    What part of the military does Steven belong to?"Independence Day" Trivia

      Marines. Interestingly enough, I thought he'd be in the Air Force. 1: Steven says this to Jimmy when he tells him to put his mask back on in plane. 2: Letter to Wil Smith CLEARLY reads USMC, El Toro United States Marine Corp Base. 3: Jimmy even reads the letter to Captian Hillard saying and I quote, "Captian Steven Hillard..loser.

      Entertainment Tonight. Remember this quote from the show, "Oh god! I hope they bring back Elvis!"

      Welcome Wagon. Echo One was the helicopter right beside Welcome Wagon, as said by both pilots.

    David's father is seen throughout the movie, what was his first name?"Independence Day" Trivia

      Julius. Julius Levinson. I can account at least 3 times his name is heard, the first being introducing himself to the President, and Connie twice on Air Force One.

      California.

    Jimmy, Steven's main friend in the movie, has a "call name" written on the side of his fighter jet, what is it?"Independence Day" Trivia Pt 2

      Raven. Most of the time, a pilot's "call name" is a bird. Although they do call him Reverend, his plane says Raven.

    Who does David's dad quote to Connie after David gets airsick?"Independence Day" Trivia Pt 2

      John Lennon. "'All you need is love'. John Lennon, smart man. Shot in the back, very sad." Seems David's father is still living in the past!

      Maintenance Truck. Clearly written on the doors: "California Highway Maint."

    What military base is Steven taken to by the campers?"Independence Day" Trivia Pt 2

      f. They're shown the alien aircraft first, the Big Tamale, by Dr Okun.

    What has everyone in the researching area come to call the dead aliens on display?"Independence Day" Trivia Pt 2

      The Freak Show. The Vault is its ORIGINAL name, the doctors call it "The Freak Show" according to Dr. Okun, who looks like the real freak show to me.

    What does the General Grey say was the first to be taken out, then we were hit?"Independence Day" Trivia Pt 2

      NATO and Western Allied. He says they were the first to be taken out, but we saw Los Angeles take the hit first.

    What's the first thing the alien says to everyone?"Independence Day" Trivia Pt 2

      Release Me. As he's talking to the President through an apparently deceased Dr. Okun, he tells the President to release him, and then for all of us to die.

    What's the first city to be reached by the Stealth Bombers carrying the nuclear bomb?"Independence Day" Trivia Pt 2

      Houston. Ain't much in Houston anyway, right? Everything was deserted, so casualties would be kept to a minimum.

      A Cold. His father's idea, wasn't it? Giving the Mothership the virus would lower their shields for a matter of minutes.
