Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Joe Hallenbeck (Bruce Willis), from 1991's 'The Last Boy Scout.'

Answer: Cornelius

Jimmy Dix tells Joe, 'Hey -- Danger's my middle name.' Joe responds with, 'Mine's Cornelius. You tell anybody, I'll kill you.' (Jimmy's middle name is actually Alexander.)

2. Austin Powers, from 1997's 'Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.'

Answer: Danger

This is mentioned several times throughout the movie. Kind of a cute play on the old cliche, 'Danger is my middle name.'

3. Jennifer Mack (Ally Sheedy), in 1983's 'WarGAMES.'

Answer: K.

While attempting to pull up Jennifer's school records on his computer, David Lightman (Matthew Broderick) asks her, 'Do you have a middle initial?' Jennifer answers, 'K. For Katherine.'

4. Here's a tricky one: the never-seen Victoria Riggs, late wife of Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) in the 'Lethal Weapon' movies.

Answer: Lynn

We've seen Victoria Lynn Riggs' grave in both 'Lethal Weapon' and 'Lethal Weapon 4,' and her full name is clearly visible on the headstone. In 'Lethal Weapon,' Riggs actually calls her 'Victoria Lynn' at her gravesite.

5. In 1984's 'Star Trek III: The Search For Spock,' we learn the middle initial of Dr. Leonard 'Bones' McCoy (DeForest Kelley). What is it?

Answer: H

When McCoy is asked by the high priestess of Vulcan who he is and whether he is ready to undergo the dangerous procedure that will remove Spock's 'katra' from his mind, the good doctor says, 'McCoy, Leonard H., son of David.' We're never told what the 'H' stands for, though.

6. Private James Ryan (Matt Damon) from 1998's 'Saving Private Ryan.'

Answer: Francis

Stated several times throughout the movie. At one point, Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) finds a soldier named Private James Ryan, but quickly learns that it isn't James *Francis* Ryan -- he's got the wrong man.

7. Jake Briggs (Kevin Bacon) from 1988's 'She's Having a Baby.'

Answer: Edward

Jake's full name is Jefferson Edward Briggs, as we learn when his wife Kristy (Elizabeth McGovern) screams his full name in frustration in an attempt to get him into the bedroom for procreative purposes, as her temperature is *just* right. =)

8. Donna Martin (Bess Armstrong) in 1987's 'Nothing In Common.'

Answer: Mildred

Donna's friend and high school sweetheart David Basner (Tom Hanks) shows up drunk at her apartment and teases Donna by revealing her middle name, which she hates, to her current boyfriend. 'Did you know her middle name is Mildred? She HATES that. Donna Mildred Martin! Donna Mildred Martin!'

9. Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall) in 1985's 'The Breakfast Club.'

Answer: Ralph

Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy) learns this fact after lifting Brian's wallet and checking his ID. 'Your middle name is Ralph,' she says, 'as in 'puke'.'

10. 'Duckie' Dale (Jon Cryer) in 1986's 'Pretty In Pink.'

Answer: F.

When Andie Walsh (Molly Ringwald) introduces her date Blaine (Andrew McCarthy) to Duckie, he corrects Andie's use of his familiar nickname and introduces himself to Blaine as 'Phillip F. Dale,' adding the word 'scumbag' under his breath.
