Harlem Nights Trivia Questions
1. In the first scene Benny is wearing what color visor?

From Quiz Harlem Nights

Answer: Green

Because of the visor Benny is compared to a frog by the toothless man. He is the only one wearing a visor in this scene. The green is a contrast to all of the brown in the room.

2. The movie began with a young boy running down a street in 1918 Harlem, New York. What was his name?

From Quiz "Harlem Nights" - Part 1

Answer: Quick

Actor Desi Arnez Hines II was only nine years old when "Harlem Nights" came out in 1989. He portrayed the young Quick, who was played as an adult by Eddie Murphy. Hines won a 1992 Young Artist Award for "Boyz n the Hood".

3. Where is the body of the toothless man taken, after he is killed by Quick?

From Quiz Harlem Nights

Answer: Furnace

If you listen closely, one of the guys says "Let's take him down to the furnace". It is logical that they would burn him in the furnace so they could get rid of the body without a chance of it being found.

4. The young boy was running an errand for Richard Pryor's character named Ray. What was the boy carrying?

From Quiz "Harlem Nights" - Part 1

Answer: Cigarettes

The young Quick gained entry to "Ray's Place" by telling the huge door guard that he had "Mr. Raymond's cigarettes". He was promptly directed to "go on in the back".

5. What business does Ray tell Sergeant Cantone he owns?

From Quiz Harlem Nights

Answer: A candy store

Ray's lavish lifestyle prompts Cantone to ask him if he owns Club Sugar Ray. When Sergeant Cantone asks Ray if he is the owner of the club, Ray responds by saying he has owned a candy store for thirty years.

6. What type of gambling game was Ray running when the young boy arrived?

From Quiz "Harlem Nights" - Part 1

Answer: Craps

In addition to gambling, "Ray's Place" was a house of prostitution. As young Quick made his way down a hall to the room where several men were playing dice, one could hear the voice of a madam telling a customer that his time was up.

7. What physical facial feature of one of the gamblers did Ray mock?

From Quiz "Harlem Nights" - Part 1

Answer: Teeth

The gambler was missing several of his upper front teeth, causing Pryor to refer to him as "snaggle-toothed". He also told him to "go home and brush that tooth".

8. Why did one of the gamblers threaten to stab Ray?

From Quiz "Harlem Nights" - Part 1

Answer: Ray's allowing the young boy in the room brought him bad luck.

The gambler bitterly protested the presence of the young Quick at the craps table, claiming that "kids bring me bad luck". Despite such objections, Ray insisted that the gambler throw the dice. Trying to make a point of six, and warning that "I better not throw craps", the player immediately threw a seven, losing his bet.

9. What was used to show the time elapse, in the love scene between Quick and Dominique?

From Quiz Harlem Nights

Answer: Candles

You can see the lapse in time by the size of the candles; the more time goes by the more the candles melt. The candles are pink and there are five of them. It's pretty logical that they would use candles to keep the romantic atmosphere of the scene.

10. How did the gambler that held a knife to Ray's throat die?

From Quiz "Harlem Nights" - Part 1

Answer: Shot by the boy

As the enraged losing gambler held a switchblade to Ray's throat, Ray fumbled for a pistol underneath the craps table. A gunshot rang out and a bullet hole appeared in the knife-wielding gambler's forehead. Ray turned to see Quick with a smoking pistol in his hand, and commented that kids did bring the dead gambler bad luck.

11. What does Sergeant Cantone take from Club Sugar Ray's?

From Quiz Harlem Nights

Answer: Chocolate Hearts

As Cantone is leaving Ray's office he turns around and asks Ray for "a box of chocolate hearts for my wife". Ray says he can have whatever he wants. I think Cantone only does this to mock Ray, because he knows he can't retaliate.

12. What fruit is Benny eating during the meeting at Ray's house?

From Quiz Harlem Nights

Answer: An Orange

Benny is the only one at the table that has any kind of food. Benny just has one section in his hand. "So we mix our money with the other money so it don't matter whose money, we hitting all the money."

13. In what manner was the dead gambler's body disposed?

From Quiz "Harlem Nights" - Part 1

Answer: Furnace

Ray enlisted the assistance of the other gamblers to remove the dead body from the craps table. Redd Foxx's character Bennie's voice was heard telling the men to "take it to the furnace".

14. What is the name of the restaurant where Quick and Dominique meet on their first date?

From Quiz Harlem Nights

17. When the young boy told Ray that both of his parents were dead, Ray offered to let the boy stay with him for a while. As they left the gambling room, what did Ray offer to buy the boy?

From Quiz "Harlem Nights" - Part 1

Answer: Ice cream

One must appreciate dark humor to laugh at the new foster-father's offer to buy ice cream for a boy who moments earlier blew a man's head off with a hand gun. After this scene, the film jumped twenty years into the future with an adult Eddie Murphy playing Quick.
