Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. There is talk of a messiah-like figure amongst several of the characters, and some suspect that Paul might very well be this 'Kwisatz Haderach'. What other term is used to describe this very powerful individual?

Answer: Superbeing

 The 'Kwisatz Haderach' (a name that means 'Shortening of the Way') is a prophecied male superbeing that could tell the future, and even manipulate it. The Bene Gesserit Sisterhood has been manipulating bloodlines for 90 generations to produce this superbeing...and the prophecy is about to be fulfilled!
2. What is the name of the beautiful, bound concubine of Duke Leto Atreides, herself a member of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood?

Answer: Lady Jessica

 The lovely Lady Jessica is played in this film by English actress Francesca Annis. Annis has been acting since 1958, she was a child actress at that point. She has appeared in a great many other films besides 'Dune', including 'Cleopatra', 'Krull' and 'The Libertine'.
3. When we first see him, Paul Atreides is sitting at his desk, studying the current situation in the universe with great interest. He reviews some facts, including one about a race of 'human computers' with red-stained lips. What are these individuals called?

Answer: Mentats

 The Mentat order was established long ago when machines with artificial intelligence could no longer be trusted. Thufir Hawat is the most prominent example of a Mentat in this film, with Piter de Vries also representing the order, though he is a 'twisted Mentat'.

The red-stained lips of the Mentats are caused by the ingestion of sapho juice, a substance that amplifies their mental powers.
4. While Paul studies in his personal chamber, three men approach him from behind. Which of these is not one of them?

Answer: Duncan Idaho

 These three men have clearly been intimately involved in Paul's upbringing, and he seems to have a close relationship with each of them. In particular, Gurney and Paul have a camaraderie that is clearly exhibited in the film.
5. Several important minor characters are fleshed out during the early scenes of this film. One of them is Gurney Halleck, skilled soldier and loyal friend of the House of Atreides. What then little-known actor portrayed Gurney in 'Dune'?

Answer: Patrick Stewart

 Patrick Stewart, best known for his role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard from the 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' television show and films, shows off his acting talents, even in this minor role. Stewart appeared in several sci-fi/fantasy films of the early 80s, including 'Excalibur' and 'Lifeforce' before hitting it big with his 'Star Trek' gig!
6. Doctor Yueh is another of the close confidants of the Atreides family. What interesting character actor, appearing in several of David Lynch's films, takes on this challenging role?

Answer: Dean Stockwell

 Dean Stockwell is an interesting Hollywood personality, having been a child actor beginning in 1945 with his appearances in films such as 'The Valley of Decision' and 'Anchors Away'. After doing a bunch of bit roles on TV and in films during the 1960s and 1970s, Stockwell seemed to have been rediscovered in the 1980s, and went on to appear in a lot of great 80s movies, not to mention the television show 'Quantum Leap'.
7. During the scenes in the House of Atreides, we first learn the name of the all-important spice that everyone is fussing about. What is the term for this powerful, life-expanding substance?

Answer: Melange

 Melange seems to be more than just life-expanding, it's also a very addictive and has psychotropic powers. Melange can only be found on one planet, Arakkis (aka Dune), thus why there is so much contention amongst the powerful families of the Landsraad.
8. In an early scene, Paul is pitted against a 'fighter', a deadly machine with multiple, extending weapons. This is no challenge for Paul, however, who uses an interesting martial art that involves the power of sound. What is the term for this fighting technique?

Answer: Weirding

 The Weirding Way has been cultivated over many generations by the Bene Gesserit, and Paul seems to have the gift almost naturally. In the film, the Weirding is focused through hand-held modules that help amplify sound. Paul uses just such a module against the fighter.
9. The House of Atreides has been summoned to take power on the Planet Dune, replacing the Harkonnens. Sensing a trap, Duke Leto Atreides sends some of his best troops ahead as a security measure. What loyal friend of the House of Atreides is sent ahead to oversee security on Dune?

Answer: Duncan Idaho

 In 'Dune', the short-lived Duncan Idaho is portrayed by actor Richard Jordan, who also appeared in such films as 'The Yakuza', 'Logan's Run' and 'Raise the Titanic'.
10. In a very intimate and philosophical conversation, which character utters the line, 'The sleeper must awaken' to Paul Atreides?

Answer: Duke Leto Atreides

 Duke Leto, with my favorite lines in the film: 'I'll miss the sea, but a person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing him to grow. Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.'
