Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In which film does Harpo wash his feet in a vendor's lemonade stand to scare away customers?

Answer: Duck Soup

In retaliation for Edgar Kennedy flipping Harpo's peanut stand over, he jumps up on Edgar's lemonade stand with his shoes off and pants rolled up, and washes his feet - scaring away the customers.

2. In which film does Harpo, somehow, steal a man's birthmark (which is pretty darn surreal)?

Answer: Animal Crackers

Harpo and Chico rob an art critic (former fishman) of his tie, his garters, and (through the magic of movies) his birthmark.

3. One film contains a very famous scene with the Marx Brothers. And although Harpo is asleep during it, he still is a major cause for pandomonium. What movie is it?

Answer: A Night at the Opera

The famous stateroom scene on the ocean liner contains two sequences.
One where Groucho talks to a steward. And one where the tiny room gets filled with stewards, maids, and total strangers. And during both, Harpo is fast asleep. Yet he still manages to order breakfast, hit on women, and find new people to sleep on.

4. When the slot machine is occupied, Harpo plays a payphone - and wins! What film contains this joke?

Answer: Horse Feathers

At the speakeasy, Harpo cuts a deck of cars with an axe, steals a bottle of liquor by pouring it into a bottomless glass, and plays the payphone. Swordfish!

5. Which movie has the scene in it where Harpo eats a thermometer, drinks poison, and blows balloons out of his throat?

Answer: A Day at the Races

During his check-up with Dr. Hackenbush (Groucho), Harpo eats a thermometer and drinks poison.
Groucho - "Don't drink that poison. That's four dollars an ounce."
Then Harpo blows a bubble out of his throat.
Chico - "He's got in-grown balloons."

6. This movie contains a musical sequence where Harpo plays a fiddle until the bow gets stuck in his butt. Which movie is it?

Answer: Duck Soup

In their big-time musical parody scene, Harpo plays a few bars of "I Come from Alabama with a Banjo on my Knee." That is until he loses the bow. When he turns around to look for it - we see it's in his rear.

7. Which film has Harpo chasing a turkey around the room with a baseball bat?

Answer: Room Service

I almost feel like if I explain this one, it takes away from the magic.

8. Which film shows a large amount of stolen silverware falling from Harpo's sleeve (for a long, long, long time) right in front of the Police Chief?

Answer: Animal Crackers

It takes place at the very end. Just after Harpo returns the paintings, and just before he sprays everyone in the room with chlorophorm. This was the bit Harpo would perform on stage in their early days, that rolled audiences and made him famous even before their first film.

9. Alright. Which movie has Harpo playing an Indian as a musical instrument?

Answer: Go West

He blows into the horns of a medicine man's hat. Then Chico blows the other one, and Groucho starts dancing and singing "My Body Lies Over the Ocean."

10. Finally, which film shows Harpo using a fake fire-hydrant to have cars removed, in order to free up parking spaces?

Answer: The Big Store

After dropping off Groucho and Margaret Dumont at the store, he uses this trick in order to park the car and run inside to return Margaret's purse.
