Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What have the Beatles said they were for a majority of "Help!'s" filming?

Answer: Stoned

(These are quotes from the Anthology series.)
John: "By then we were smoking marijuana for breakfast, at that period, and we were well into marijuana, and nobody could communicate with us because it was just four glazed eyes giggling all the time."
Paul: "I think that was one of the reasons for not learning the script. We'd just sort of showed up a bit stoned, and sort of smiled a lot and hoped we'd get through it."
George: "It's difficult, you know, when four people all have to say lines one behind the other. And if one person forgets it, you've got to start again. And then the next person'd forget his lines and we'd did some scenes, the scenes that were in Buckingham Palace in 'Help!' (laughs). We were doing that scene for days."

2. What was one of the working titles of the movie before it was decided on being called "Help!"?

Answer: Eight Arms to Hold You

(This information is taken from www.imdb.com:)
"Help!" was also known as:
"Beatles Phase II" (1965) (UK) (working title)
"Eight Arms to Hold You" (1965) (UK) (working title)

3. What was the only song featured in the movie that was sung and written by George Harrison?

Answer: I Need You

(This information is from http://beatleshelp.50megs.com/cast/)
Music Credits
Original Music:
Songs by John Lennon and Paul McCartney
"I Need You" by George Harrison
"James Bond Theme" by Marty Norman (uncredited)
Additional music by Ken Thorne

4. How many arms did the giant bronzed statue (seen frequently throughout the film but most noteably at the end) have?

Answer: Ten

Although one of the original ideas for the title of "Help!" was "Eight Arms to Hold You"; the statue in the movie has ten. This sort of discounts the idea that maybe they got the eight arms idea from the statue.

5. What are the Beatles spelling with their arms on the cover of "Help!"?

Answer: Nothing (they are just posing)

It has been rumored that they were to be spelling out HELP. They are just posing. Silly boys!

6. What is Paul strumming on during the performance of "Another Girl" on the beach in the Bahamas?

Answer: Bikini Clad Girl

Paul is strumming on a bikini clad girl, and at one point you will notice expression on Paul's face as he realizes he has just touched the breast of the girl he is using for his guitar.

7. When the needle intended for Ringo's finger is accidentally injected into Paul's thigh, he shrinks, which makes his clothes too large. What does he use to cover himself?

Answer: A Gum Wrapper

Paul becomes about the size of a GI Joe and uses George's gum wrapper (previously tossed on the floor) as clothing until he is fully restored to his normal size.

8. What can George be seen doing while they are in the jewelry shop?

Answer: Stealing jewelry

While the jeweler is working on removing the ring off of Ringo's finger, George is trying to steal a few trinkets for himself.

9. When the dreaded Eastern cult smashes through the window and attempts to kill Ringo and harm the others; who mistakenly begins to choke John when he sees him in trouble and tries to help?

Answer: George

If you notice right before they cut out of that shoot John tells George "It's me, it's me!" and George says "Oh, sorry." John says "Well, then stop it!" They both start to laugh, but before they have an outburst, the camera cuts from that shot.

10. What are the mad scientists out to do? Particularly Professor Foot's character?

Answer: Dare I say it...RULE THE WORLD

Throughout the movie one of the most frequent quotes Professor Foot makes is about himself ruling the world. When the Beatles are at his lab he makes the comment of ruling the world, and also when they try to get the ring from the boys' at the house.
