Buzz was played by Corey Allen. The 'chicky race' involved driving two cars towards a cliff face - the first to jump out was a chicken. Unfortunately for Buzz he couldn't get out of the car. I think I'd rather be chicken than dead!

6. Jim says: 'I don't want any ____.' What word fills in the blank?

Answer: trouble

Unfortunately Jim does run into trouble! After being called 'chicken' he fights with Buzz and later in the film, is chased by the police whilst hiding in the old manor! The film ends on a sad note with the death of Plato.

This was said by Jim when they are at the police station. Jim is fed up of their arguing and them not listening to what he has to say. Jim's mother and father were played by Jim Backus and Ann Doran.

Oww! It did look pretty painful and Dean was a Method actor! In a scene in 'East of Eden' where he had to look really uptight he didn't go to the toilet for hours!
