Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. (1) Sauron the Deceiver was trapped on the island of Numenor when that kingdom of Men was destroyed and sent underneath the waves. However, during the prologue of "The Fellowship of the Ring," we see that Sauron has survived, and has now assumed the form of a dark lord clad in even darker garb. There is no mistaking, he is _______. (2) "_______" was the first album recorded by AC/DC after the untimely demise of lead singer Bon Scott. This supercharged album included the title track and fan favorite "You Shook Me All Night Long."

Answer: Back in Black

Arrayed in attire befitting a dark lord, Sauron forges the One Ring deep in the bowels of Mount Doom. But his power is not enough to prevent misfortune at the hands of Isildur, who cuts the One Ring from Sauron's hand. The dark lord's spirit survives, but he is never again able to assume physical form.
2. (1) After Gandalf arrives at Bag End, Bilbo Baggins bemoans his perception that he is feeling thin and stretched, not realizing that the source of his unrest is his magic ring. Bilbo continues by saying, "I need a ____, a very long ____." (2) "_____" was one of three hit singles from Madonna's self-titled debut album, which was released in 1983 but didn't really peak until 1984. This song also had the honor of leading off Madonna's first greatest-hits album, "The Immaculate Collection."

Answer: Holiday

Bilbo does indeed get his holiday, but only after strong words from Gandalf help persuade him to finally dispose of the One Ring. Bilbo walks out of his front door, singing as he travels towards Rivendell, finally relieved of his burden.
3. (1) Gandalf travels to Isengard to seek Saruman's counsel, only to realize that the head of the Istari has turned to evil. Before the confrontation, Gandalf asks, "...when did Saruman the Wise abandon reason for ____?" (2) ____ was one of the first ska bands to achieve commercial success in the 1980s. One of their trademark songs, "Our House," was a very popular music video during the early days of MTV.

Answer: Madness

The madness that has seized Saruman is a desire for power, which trapped him as he investigated the lore of the Rings of Power. He imprisons Gandalf at the pinnacle of the Tower of Orthanc, but instead of killing his fellow Istari, Saruman chooses to continue to persuade Gandalf to join his cause.
4. (1) A moth alights on Gandalf's hand as he sits imprisoned atop the Tower of Orthanc. This encounter later leads to the escape of Gandalf, borne aloft by the two ______ of Gwaihir the Eagle towards the refuge of Rivendell. (2) Although this song was not one of Cheap Trick's more famous releases, it was an essential ingredient of the soundtrack for the wildly popular 1986 movie "Top Gun." This song's hard-driving rhythm framed a very exciting combat training sequence involving Maverick and his powerful F-14 Tomcat.

Answer: Mighty Wings

Saruman was atop the tower, attempting yet again to convince Gandalf to join him, when the moth returns--this time, with help. The mighty wings of Gwaihir bear Gandalf away from imprisonment.
5. (1) As Elrond and Gandalf discuss what needs to be done with the One Ring, the elven lord tells Gandalf that the evil should have been ended but for the weakness of Men. We see a flashback in which he urges Isildur to "cast it _____." (2) "_____" was the album released by Canadian superstar Bryan Adams in 1987. Although not as successful as previous and succeeding releases, this album still sold over a million copies worldwide.

Answer: Into the Fire

Elrond leads Isildur into the bowels of Mount Doom, and urges the new High King of Gondor to cast the One Ring into the fire. However, Isildur has already fallen under the One Ring's spell, and he walks away despite Elrond's protestations.
6. (1) Gandalf looks out from a balcony at the House of Elrond and observes the arrival of those who have been summoned to council. One of the new arrivals is the elf named Legolas, son of Thranduil, and ____ of Mirkwood. (2) ____ was a quintessential rock and R&B personality of the 1980s. His songs "Little Red Corvette," "1999", and several hits from the soundtrack album of "Purple Rain" pervaded radio stations during the decade.

Answer: Prince

The noble standing of Legolas is revealed only gradually in the movie trilogy, although avid readers of Tolkien's work already knew of his background. However, his skills in combat are clearly on display in Moria and on Amon Hen.
7. (1) As the members of the Fellowship pause in their journey south, Legolas sees something strange in the distance. Gimli dismisses it as "just a wisp of cloud." However, Boromir is more worried, stating that, "...it's moving fast. ______." (2) The album "______" marked the zenith of the musical career of rocker Bob Seger. This release replaced Pink Floyd's album "The Wall" at the top spot of Billboard's album charts, and the title track edged out "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" as the top single of the year 1980.

Answer: Against the Wind

The object, or objects, certainly are moving against the wind. With his sharp elven eyes, Legolas sees the danger and shouts, "Crebain from Dunland!" Gandalf recognizes the birds as spies sent by Saruman, who later learns that the Fellowship is to attempt the Pass of Caradhras.
8. (1) Determined to obtain the One Ring for himself, Saruman sends his Uruk-hai scouts to intercept the Fellowship on their journey to Mordor. He tells them, "You will taste man flesh!" Of course, not a single one of the Uruk-hai needs any goading from Saruman to become a _____. (2) Hall and Oates continued their string of Top 40 hits with the 1982 single "_____" from the album release "H2O." This particular song talks of a lady who devours men only in a figurative sense--she seeks only money, not love.

Answer: Maneater

None of the Uruk-hai sent on this expedition tastes man flesh, although in "The Two Towers," the scent of man flesh does prod Saruman's minions to speed their way towards Isengard. They hurry in vain, as all the Uruk-hai who survive Amon Hen are slaughtered by the Rohirrim at the eaves of Fangorn Forest.
9. (1) The Uruk-hai scouts surprise the Fellowship on the slopes of Amon Hen. Merry deduces Frodo's intention to leave on his own, and decides to break cover with Pippin in tow. Merry attracts the attention of the Uruk-hai to himself, yelling, "Hey! ____! Over here!" (2) "____" was the first song on Side 3 of Pink Floyd's landmark album "The Wall." The song, which reflected the protagonist's pleas from behind the wall, also had the distinction of *not* being included in the film adaptation (starring Bob Geldof) of "The Wall."

Answer: Hey You

After Merry yells, "Hey! Hey you! Over here!" the Uruk-hai notice the hobbits, despite the Lothlorien cloaks they are wearing. The Uruk-hai capture Merry and Pippin after a heroic defense by the Boromir. Of course, the Uruk-hai do not know that the two hobbits do not carry the object of "great value" mentioned by Saruman.
10. (1) Prior to the arrival of the Uruk-hai, the Fellowship rests and Gimli relates the difficulties of crossing the razor-sharp rocks of the Emyn Muil. Then he says, "And after that, it gets even better!" Of course, he is being sarcastic--he should say, "It gets _____!" (2) "_____" was the 1988 album release of Weird Al Yankovic. Not only did this album contain a parody of one of Michael Jackson's songs ("Bad"), but it also marked the first time that Weird Al parodied an album cover (again, "Bad").

Answer: Even Worse

In "The Two Towers," Sam and Frodo learn that the journey to Mordor does get even worse. Only Gollum's assistance allows the hobbits to find safe passage through the Emyn Muil and the Dead Marshes.
