Movie Mixture Trivia Questions

1. Which dermatologically-challenged horror movie villain, who made his first appearance in 1984, stalked and killed the teenagers of Elm Street in their dreams?

From Quiz
FunTrivia Movies Mix: Vol 13

Answer: Freddy Krueger

Freddy Krueger was first introduced to the world in 1984's "A Nightmare on Elm Street", the first in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" horror movie franchise. Plucked straight from the imagination of Wes Craven, Krueger was a horribly scarred child murderer, who after death literally became a dream demon, who preyed on the teenagers of Elm Street in their dreams. While he became especially known for his dirty, brown hat and green and red striped sweater, his signature was the razor sharp claw he wore on his right hand.

'The Blues Brothers' (1980) was a spin-off from a 1978 'Saturday Night Live' skit.

Despite budget blow outs and dismal predictions, the movie was a box office hit and has since become a cult classic.

From Quiz FunTrivia Movies Mix: Vol 6

Answer: Rex Harrison

Harrison depicted a man whose preference was his menagerie of animals to people. He learned to speak almost five hundred animal languages from his pet parrot named Polynesia, voiced by actress Ginny Tyler.

9. Which movie follows the lives of amateur athletes Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell as they train for the 1924 Olympics?

Cambridge University student Harold Abrahams and Scotsman Eric Liddell, born in China and destined to return there as a missionary, were sprinters representing Great Britain at the 1924 Olympics in Paris. However, the much anticipated matchup between Abrahams and Liddell never took place. "Chariots of Fire", although based on fact, does take some liberties with the characters and details of the competitions. The film won four Oscars, two Palmes D'Or and the BAFTA Award for Best Film.

Question by player Humanist

10. In 1986, "Biggles" was released, but which classic horror star plays a prominent role in the film?

From Quiz From Our Own Collection

Answer: Peter Cushing

Peter Cushing's career on screen began with a small role in the 1939 film version of "The Man in the Iron Mask", with another early role being opposite Laurel and Hardy in "A Chump at Oxford". However, it was his long association with Hammer Films, for whom he made twenty-two films, that he is perhaps best known. It began when he was cast as Victor Frankenstein in 1957's "The Curse of Frankenstein", which he followed up in 1958 by playing Abraham van Helsing in "Dracula". Cushing also appeared on the big screen in adaptations of two Dalek serials from the BBC TV series "Doctor Who", as well as Grand Moff Tarkin in "Star Wars: A New Hope". By the 1980s, having been diagnosed with prostate cancer, Cushing began to slow down, with his appearance as Air Commodore William Raymond in the 1986 adventure / sci-fi mashup "Biggles" (released in the United States as "Biggles: Adventures in Time") being his last screen role.

11. What do "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975), "Halloween" (2007) and "Shutter Island" (2010) have in common?

From Quiz FunTrivia Movies Mix: Vol 4

Answer: mental institution

In "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", Jack Nicholson portrayed Randle McMurphy, held in a mental institution for the criminally insane, in the film based on Ken Kesey's novel. Louise Fletcher was brilliant as Nurse Ratched. The slash-and-fright movie "Halloween" was Rob Zombie's 2007 remake of John Carpenter's 1978 motion picture. In both, Michael Myers escapes from Smith's Grove, a mental institution, and goes on a killing rampage. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a U.S. Marshal in "Shutter Island" which refers to a mental institution on an island in Boston Harbor. Martin Scorsese directed a script based on a 2003 novel by Dennis Lehane.

12. In Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," which of the seven dwarfs wore glasses?

From Quiz FunTrivia Movies Mix: Vol 3

Answer: Doc

Voiced by Roy Atwell in the 1937 animated feature. Even though the Disney people describe him as "often losing his train of thought and bumbling around," Doc was the self-proclaimed leader of the seven Dwarfs.

13. In the film directed by Stanley Kubrick, "The Shining," to what does "shining" refer?

From Quiz FunTrivia Movies Mix: Vol 2

It is well worth viewing if you have not seen the film.

Question by player ghosttowner

15. Christopher Walken tells a story to a young boy about what small object that plays a pivotal role in "Pulp Fiction"?

From Quiz Hey! You're Stealing All My Lines!

Answer: A watch

In the brilliant 1994 movie by Quentin Tarantino, the lives of two hitmen, a gangster, his wife, two small time criminals and a boxer are intertwined. Walken's character, Captain Koons, is none of these people and yet the scene where he explains to the young boy (who will grow up to be the boxer) all about a watch passed on from the men in his family, is riveting and hilarious at the same time. The watch is a major item in the film, influencing the actions of the boxer and being pivotal to events that take place as a result of those actions. Walken delivers the monologue about the watch brilliantly.

16. In "Sex, Lies, and Videotape", what does Graham (James Spader) record on a video camera?

From Quiz Immortal Classics II

Answer: people talking about their sexual experiences

This is a lesser known movie from 1989. The title of the movie is a bit tricky, since there is no actual sex in the movie. People talk about sex and analyze it from all angles, though. Graham comes to live to his friend's (Peter Gallagher) house and sucks him and his wife (Andie MacDowell) into his weird world. He cannot have sex himself, so he simply records others talking about it, because it gives him pleasure.

17. The movie ranked number nine on "Business Insider's" list was "The Human Centipede (Final Sequence)". What was the main setting for the series?

From Quiz Some People Still Call It the Worst Film Ever

Answer: A prison in Texas

"The Human Centipede (Final Sequence)" was the third and final film in a series of horror movie spoofs. It was filmed in the Netherlands but was an English-speaking movie. I will omit the gory plot details but needless to say it was panned by the critics. The setting is the fictional George H. W. Bush State Prison in Texas.

18. What 2000 movie starring Tom Hanks was directed by Robert Zemeckis?

From Quiz Let's Catch a Movie

Answer: Cast Away

"Cast Away" is the story of FedEx engineer Chuck Nolan, who finds himself marooned on a remote island. He befriends a volleyball and waits it out as best he can. He eventually makes it home, via a makeshift raft, to his fiancée, Kelly (played by Helen Hunt), but it isn't good news, as life has moved on for her. The last time Zemeckis and Hanks worked together was the acclaimed movie "Forrest Gump".

19. This film is one of my favourite films, featuring two brothers who set out on a "mission from God" to save the orphanage they grew up in from closure. Which musical film starred John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd in the title roles of Jake and Elwood?

From Quiz Saturday Night at the Movies

Answer: The Blues Brothers

Released in 1980 "The Blues Brothers" starred John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as Jake and Elwood Blues, two blues musicians who grew up on the wrong side of the law. When tasked, by the Mother Superior who ran the orphanage they once lived in, to obtain money to prevent it from closure, Jake and Elwood re-form their band, The Blues Brothers, to perform a concert that leads to a spectacular car chase through the streets of Chicago. The film itself not only featured a number of prominent musicians, such as Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and James Brown, but also had cameo appearances by the film's director John Landis, Steven Spielberg, John Candy, Carrie Fisher and Frank Oz.

20. This 1940 film, adapted from a novel by Daphne Du Maurier and Alfred Hitchcock's first American production, was the only one of his films to win a Best Picture Academy Award. What is the name of this gothic drama?

From Quiz Off The Shelf - Part 6

Answer: Rebecca

"Rebecca" was produced by David O. Selznick, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and starred Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, George Sanders, Judith Anderson and Florence Bates. Joan Fontaine plays a young woman who works as a paid companion to a rich woman, played by Florence Bates. While holidaying on the French Riviera she meets and falls in love with Maxim De Winter (Olivier). After a whirlwind romance they marry and he takes her back to his ancestral home, Manderley. The housekeeper at Manderley (Judith Anderson) was obsessed with Maxim's late wife, Rebecca, and the new bride is made to feel an inadequate replacement for her. There is also a guilty secret surrounding Rebecca's death. "Rebecca" was a considerable critical and commercial success and was nominated for eleven Academy Awards. However, it won in only two categories - Best Picture and Best Cinematography. Although he is recognised as one of the greatest cinematic geniuses of all time, Alfred Hitchcock never won a Best Director Oscar. His films include "The 39 Steps", "The Lady Vanishes", "Shadow Of A Doubt", "Strangers On A Train", "Notorious", "Rear Window" and "Vertigo". In all, during his long career, he directed more than 50 films.

21. The first time my friends and I were allowed to catch a bus into the city center on our own we went to see "Spartacus". I remember that Jean Simmons played the female lead and Tony Curtis was also in it, but who played the title role?

From Quiz I Don't Do Movie Quizzes Because...

Answer: Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas had three nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actor but never won. In 1996 he received an Honorary Academy Award for his contributions to the movie industry. The screenwriter, Dalton Trumbo, was at one time blacklisted for refusing to give evidence to the House Un-American Activities Committee. President John F. Kennedy had to cross picket lines to see the film. This helped to end the blacklisting.

22. One of the great series of comedies from Ealing Studios, this 1951 film starred Alec Guinness as a bank clerk who masterminds the robbery of a shipment of gold bullion. Name this comedy classic.

From Quiz Off The Shelf - Part 5

Answer: The Lavender Hill Mob

"The Lavender Hill Mob" was written by T.E.B. Clarke, and directed by Charles Crichton. It stars Alec Guinness and Stanley Holloway as the masterminds behind the robbery of a shipment of gold bullion. The gold is melted down and made into Eifel Tower paper weights, which are then smuggled to France. The plan goes awry when some of the paperweights are mistakenly sold. A highlight is a hilarious chase sequence through the streets of London. Needless to say, the robbers and their accomplices (Sid James and Alfie Bass) are caught - in the 1950s, crime was never allowed to pay, at least not in films. Audrey Hepburn, near the beginning of her career, makes a brief appearance early on in the film. Alec Guinness starred in several of the Ealing Comedies, including "The Man In The White Suit", "The Ladykillers" and most notably in "Kind Hearts And Coronets", in which he played an entire family, all of whom are murdered during the course of the film.

23. "Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make." One of the most famous quotes in motion picture history was spoken by Bela Lugosi in this 1931 film. What is this horror classic?

From Quiz Off The Shelf - Part 4

Answer: Dracula

"Dracula" was directed by Tod Browning, and starred Bela Lugosi, Helen Chandler, David Manners, Dwight Frye and Edward Van Sloan. Although he had played the role on stage, Bela Lugosi was not the first choice for the title role. It was intended for Lon Chaney, but sadly he died of cancer before the film could go into production. Originally the film was intended as a lavish production along the lines of the studio's silent successes "Hunchback of Notre Dame" and "Phantom of the Opera"; however, by this stage they were in financial difficulty and it was finally made on a much lower budget and smaller scale. Fortunately for the studio it was a smash hit at the box office, and began a cycle of horror films which included "Frankenstein", "Bride of Frankenstein", "The Old Dark House", "The Mummy" and "The Wolf Man", all of which have become cult favourites.

24. This 1926 comedy classic, set during the American Civil War, is generally regarded as Buster Keaton's masterpiece. What is this film?

From Quiz Off The Shelf

Answer: The General

"The General" was directed by Buster Keaton and Clyde Bruckman, and starred Buster Keaton, Marion Mack and Glen Cavender. Buster plays a train driver who tries to enlist in the Confederate army, but is turned down because his job is considered to be too important to the Confederate cause. As a result, his sweetheart (Marion Mack) spurns him, thinking that he is a coward. His train is stolen, and his sweetheart kidnapped by Union spies. Buster gets them back, and in the process is responsible for defeating the Union army in battle. He is praised as a hero, and is given a commission in the Confederate army. The film is based on a true story, and is historically accurate. Buster's timing with a sight gag has never, in my opinion, been equaled.

25. What is the name of Spider-Man's alter ego?

From Quiz Film Roles - P through Z

Answer: Peter Parker

Tobey Maguire has played the dual roles of Spider-Man and his alter ego, Peter Parker in "Spider-Man" in 2002, "Spider-Man 2" in 2004 and (the originally titled) "Spider-Man 3", all opposite Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson. As I'm sure many of you already know, bashful student Peter Parker was nipped by a scientifically modified arachnid, causing him to have super spider powers (once bitten, twice shy). As a result of the killing of his Uncle Ben, he decides to use his powers to become a superhero and fight evil.

26. What was the name of the lawyer in the movie "To Kill a Mockingbird"?

From Quiz Film Roles - A through O

Answer: Atticus Finch

Gregory Peck portrayed the Southern attorney Atticus Finch in the 1962 movie adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Harper Lee, which deals with the theme of racial inequality. Atticus is the single father of Scout (the narrator) and Jem. At a time when racism was rampant in the rural South, Atticus is willing to represent a black man. This character is truly a man of courage and integrity. The other choices are: Archibald "Harry" Tuttle, played by Robert De Niro in the 1985 film "Brazil"; Arthur Bach, the role played by Dudley Moore in the 1981 comedy "Arthur" and Alan Rittenhouse was played by James Cromwell in "Deep Impact" from 1998.

27. One of Mommakat's favourite movies, "Zulu", which dealt with the battle of Rorke's Drift in Natal in 1879, catapulted which Academy Award winning English actor to stardom?

From Quiz The Connection Goes to the Movies

Answer: Michael Caine

"Zulu" gives a very authentic and meticulous story of the defense of Rorke's Drift, a lonely British outpost, by 105 men against a horde of 4,000 Zulu warriors. Michael Caine went on to star in many movies that were top box office hits, such as "Alfie" and "The Italian Job", and continues to play starring roles into his seventies.

28. This 1992 British drama, starring Stephen Rea and Jaye Davidson, stunned unsuspecting viewers with its shocking twist. Rea plays an I.R.A. man hiding out in England who falls for a London hairstylist named Dil. What is the title of this film?

From Quiz The Best Movies You've Never Seen

Answer: The Crying Game

If you haven't seen the film I won't give away the surprise. When I first saw the movie I knew what to expect so the impact wasn't as great as it might have been. In the film every character wears a mask, symbolically and, in Dil's case, quite figuratively.

29. In "The Graduate", Dustin Hoffman plays Ben Braddock, a young man trying to find his way in the world. What relation does the title have to the movie?

From Quiz The Movie Title Connection

Answer: He just graduated from college.

This was Dustin Hoffman's first big movie. At the beginning of the movie, we find out that Ben has just graduated from college and he is trying to figure out what to do with his life. While he is getting advice from some friends of the family, we hear the classic one word movie line, "Plastics!". The movie also stars Anne Bancroft and featured original music by Paul Simon. Hoffman was chosen for his average looks since his character needed to be an underdog of sorts and a little bit awkward. This is why Robert Redford, who was originally cast in the lead, was replaced with Hoffman by the director.

30. On the wall is a black and white picture. Wendolene is on a train leaning out of the window. Wallace is on the platform below wiping something from her eye. Which 1945 film is this tender moment parodying?

From Quiz Wallace and Gromit Go to the Movies

Answer: Brief Encounter

Wendolene and Wallace are pretending to be Laura Jesson and Alec Harvey from the 1945 film, 'Brief Encounter'. The roles were played in the film by Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard. The film was directed by David Lean and the railway scenes were filmed at Carnforth railway station in Lancashire. This film is about love that can never be.
