Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Some parts of the film take place in New York and Rome. Which other cities appear in the picture?

Answer: Los Angeles, Paris, Helsinki

The picture was filmed in those five cities, located in four countries (USA, France, Italy, Finland). Jarmusch chose for each episode actors from the country where the episode took place, and had them speak in the language of their country.
2. What is NOT a common bond between all five stories?

Answer: Each story only involves two persons.

Five cities, five cabs, at the same moment (five clocks show five different times). Each time the sketch is the meeting of different persons (a rich snob Hollywood producer and a young cabdriver, an east-German emigrant and a Brooklyn New-Yorker, a Parisian cab driver and a blind woman, a "sinner" and a priest, a father who lost his child and three drunks).
3. During the credits, we can hear the song "Back in the Good Old World". Who sings it?

Answer: Tom Waits

4. How old was Jim Jarmusch while working on this movie?

Answer: 38

He had already directed 7 movies, including shorts.
5. The first part of the film stars Gena Rowlands and a much younger actress. Who is she?

Answer: Winona Ryder

Winona Ryder was 19 when she played the role of Corky in "Night on Earth".
6. At the beginning of the second part, why doesn't Yoyo find any cab?

Answer: Because he wants to go to Brooklyn.

7. In the third part, what is the particularity of the woman played by Beatrice Dalle?

Answer: She's blind.

8. In the fourth part, the actor who plays the main character also played in other Jarmusch films. Who is he?

Roberto Benigni played in two Jarmusch movies before "Night on Earth": "Down by Law" and "Coffee and Cigarettes".
9. In the last part, how many men are in the car?

Answer: 4

The four men are the cab driver and three drunk passengers.
