'Dune' (Part VI) Trivia Quiz

Answer: Cat

In one of the truly bizarre (and, dare I say, campy?) moments in the film, a cat is presented to Thufir, complete with an attached rat. Thufir has been implanted with a heartplug, as is the custom of the evil Harkonnens. Their added gift is that he has been poisoned and must milk a cat once a day to receive the serum he needs to survive.

Answer: Obelisk

Before he displays his Weirding skills, Paul asks for volunteers to destroy the stone by kicking, hitting, cutting and, yes, even yelling at the large block of granite. These very ineffective attempts are then followed by Paul's very able application of a Weirding Module to effectively destroy the stone.

Answer: Kiswa maker hook

Here's an interesting trivia tidbit. When we first see Paul climb the side of the sandworm, the kiswa maker hook slightly pries the segment of the sandworm out, revealing tendons inside. Those tendons were constructed using condoms!

Answer: Fedaykin

Clearly the term Fedaykin is derived from the Arab word 'fedayeen', which refers to a force of Arab guerrilla fighters, who will give their lives to the cause, whatever that may be. In the case of 'Dune', the cause is protecting Paul Atreides. The Fedaykin are identifiable by the red paint on their shoulders.

Answer: Gurney Halleck

Neither Gurney nor Paul are aware that the other is still alive, because they both now use their secret Fremen names. Naturally, they are very pleased to be reunited and fight side-by-side during the rest of the war against the Harkonnens.

Answer: True

In order for Paul to fulfill the prophecy and become the Kwisatz Haderach he must drink the Water of Life. Removing himself to the middle of the desert, he drinks the Water of Life and survives. After Paul drinks the Water, all of the other Bene Gesserit women are shown with bloodied noses. Paul is now able to see in the place the Bene Gesserit sisters cannot look.

Answer: Alia

Alia confronts Baron Harkonnen and warns him repeatedly. 'Wait until my brother comes,' she ominously threatens. When the Baron moves to kill her, she removes some tubes in his chest, causing him to float through a breach in the wall and into the waiting stomach of a sandworm.

Answer: I will kill you!

This is Sting's turn to shine, as he utters the line 'I will kill you!' in a state of pure madness. It doesn't take long for Paul to dispatch of Feyd, though there are a few moments when his adversary gets the upper hand. After stabbing and killing Feyd, Paul emits a killing sound without the use of the Weirding module.

Answer: Rain

As the Kwisatz Haderach, Paul commands rain to fall on the desert planet Dune, completing the prophecy. Alia announced that Paul is indeed the Kwisatz Haderach (as if we didn't know!), and the film is complete!

Answer: David Lynch

After successes with the bizarre 'Eraserhead' and the lovely 1980 film 'The Elephant Man', David Lynch took on this enormous and unusual project. Though things did not go perfectly for him, it is still a beautifully made film. Oddly enough, for the 'extended cut' produced for television, additional footage was added. David Lynch disowned this version, and thus it became an Alan Smithee production.

Thank you for playing this quiz, I hope you enjoyed this series on 'Dune'!
