Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: 20

Chris, for the record, seems completely unthreatened by this news.

2. Jordan Cochran (Michelle Meyrink), a physics genius, is apparently also an accomplished knitter. What does she knit as a present for Mitch?

Answer: a sweater

Mitch is seen wearing the sweater to a class later in the film.

3. Chris Knight seems to be a fan of distinctive slippers. Which characters or creatures do NOT appear on any of the pairs of slippers that he wears during the film?

Answer: Batman and Robin

Val Kilmer played Batman in 1995's "Batman Forever," but Chris never wears Batman-inspired slippers in the film. We see him wearing the pink bunny slippers several times, and he wears the Heckle and Jeckle slippers during the "liquid nitrogen slug" scene with Mitch.

4. Finish Chris' quote to Mitch: "Was it that dream where you're dressed in sort of sun-god-like robes, and thousands of women are screaming your name and throwing little _____________ at you?"

Answer: pickles

Mitch quickly says, "No." Chris looks off into space, and with all sincerity, asks the rhetorical question, "Why am I the only one who has that dream?"

5. Val Kilmer, apparently a highly dextrous man, is known for working complex hand-related activities into many of his films. What dextrous feat does Chris Knight perform in this film?

Answer: He "rolls" coins across his knuckles

Chris uses his knuckles to "roll" coins across the backs of his hands (simultaneously!) as he talks to Mitch in Hathaway's classroom during a montage. He also twirls a socket wrench in his hand in the same sequence. Kilmer twirls a drumstick in "The Doors," and performs a number of dextrous pistol tricks in "Tombstone."

Answer: "THIS IS IT"

The first indication that Mitch has succeeded in his quest is the message "THIS IS IT." He *later* encounters the words "HERE IT COMES."

7. What food does Dr. Jerry Hathaway (William Atherton) apparently hate above all others?

Answer: popcorn

Hence the final stage of the "geniuses"' big plan at the end of the film.

8. Hathaway tells Chris Knight that the timetable for the laser project he's been working on has been sped up. Hathaway wants the project to be completed by the middle of which month?

Answer: May

Hathaway: "I want five megawatts by mid-May."

9. Once Chris drags Mitch and several other hard-working students to the impromptu "tanning invitational," which musician or band's song is the FIRST heard at the party?

Answer: Don Henley

Henley's "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" (from the album "Building the Perfect Beast") is the first song we hear. Bryan Adams' "One Night Love Affair" (from the album "Reckless") is heard in a later scene.

10. The women Chris has invited to the tanning party are students at a local vocational school. What are these women studying to become?

Answer: beauticians

Specifically, they attend the Wanda Trossler School of Beauty. Mitch: "Being snubbed by beauticians is not my idea of a good time." Chris: "*Student* beauticians."

11. According to her own dialogue, how old is Jordan Cochran (Michelle Meyrink)?

Answer: 19

Just before she and Mitch begin kissing, one of the things Jordan reveals about herself at a rapid-fire pace is the fact that she is nineteen.

12. What is the first name of Mitch's father?

Answer: Bill

When Mitch makes a collect call to his parents, he is clearly heard -- thanks to Kent's broadcasting said call over the cafeteria P.A. -- telling the operator the first name of his father.

13. Finish this quote from Mitch's mom, from their publicly broadcasted phone call: "Now, Mitchie -- that doesn't sound like Mama's little ___________."

Answer: soldier

The tear-stained look of hatred that Mitch throws at Kent during this scene is probably the best piece of acting that Gabe Jarrett ever did... but then, what did he ever DO besides this movie?

Answer: Susan

Decker calls her by her name twice during this scene. Incidentally, Foreman also played the lead in 1983's "Valley Girl."

15. Once Chris informs Mitch that, thanks to Hathaway, he might have to leave school, Mitch tries to stop him by jokingly reminding him that he owes Mitch a certain amount of money. How much?

Answer: ten dollars

Mitch: "You can't just leave -- you owe me ten bucks."

16. Lazlo tells Chris and Mitch that he has submitted a ridiculous number of entries to a certain corporation's sweepstakes. What's the corporation?

Answer: Frito-Lay

Lazlo's plan to take advantage of the "Enter As Often As You Like" policy is apparently based on a real ploy that was perpetrated, again, by some Cal Tech students.

17. Including the batch of sweepstakes entries Lazlo holds in his arms as he explains his scheme to Chris and Mitch, how many entries has he filled out?

Answer: 1,650,000

Stated by Lazlo himself. Fortunately, Lazlo had computers filling out the entry forms for him.

18. Finish Lazlo's prediction about Mitch to Chris, once Mitch leaves the room: "He's gonna grow ________ inches in the next year."

Answer: 5

I wonder if Lazlo does the "guess your weight" thing, too...?

19. As Chris turns in his answers to Hathaway's final exam, we see that he has attached a small note to his submission. What does the note say?

Answer: "I aced this"

Hathaway crumples up the note without saying a single word to Chris.

Answer: 6

Lazlo: "I figure you've got it up to, what -- six megawatts?" Chris: "About that, yeah." Since Hathaway earlier told Chris that he expected FIVE megawatts by mid-May, it would seem that Chris and Mitch actually surpassed the expectations of the project!

21. Which character is seen riding a motorcycle late in the film?

Answer: "Ick" Ikagami (Mark Kamiyama)

Ick, on a motorcycle, follows Hathaway from his house to the testing grounds for Operation Crossbow. Chris wears a Harley-Davidson shirt several times in the film, but we never actually see him anywhere near a motorcycle.

22. Finish the name of the proving grounds for the stealth plane carrying the laser at the end of the film: __________ Air Force Base.

Answer: Marsh

The sign is clearly visible both when Ick follows Hathaway there, and when Chris and Mitch later infiltrate the base.

Answer: Abbott and Costello

Specifically, Chris and Mitch are "Abbott," and Jordan's team is collectively known as "Costello."

24. At the very end of the film, Lazlo and Sherry (Patty D'Arbanville) leave California and relocate to another state. Which one?

Answer: Wyoming

Sherry explains that she has "a little survival place in Wyoming," which is the couple's destination.

25. Which character speaks the movie's final line of dialogue?

Answer: Mitch

As Lazlo and Sherry drive away, Ick asks, "Do you think it's getting weird around here?" Chris: "Absolutely." Jordan: "I didn't notice anything." Mitch: "I like it." Then, children begin playing in the monstrous piles of popcorn; Tears For Fears' "Everybody Wants To Rule the World" plays; and the movie, sadly, is over.

Hope you enjoyed the quiz!
