Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which giant, ferocious 'King' has been released for the viewing of movie-going audiences on three separate occasions, first in 1933, next in 1976 and finally in 2005?

Answer: King Kong

The original 'King Kong' (1933) remains an all-time beloved classic, starring Fay Wray and Robert Armstrong. The 1976 version featured Jeff Bridges, Charles Grodin and Jessica Lange in the key roles. In 2005, 'Lord of the Rings' director Peter Jackson tried his hand directing the simian behemoth, selecting Jack Black, Naomi Watts and Adrien Brody as the key members of his cast.

As most fans know, the film is about a giant ape-like beast who is forcibly removed from his home on a monstrous island and displayed for the world to see.
2. In 1934, 'The Scarlet Empress', directed by Josef von Sternberg and centering around the rise of Catherine the Great, was released to film audiences. Which classic actress played the title role?

Answer: Marlene Dietrich

Who else but Marlene Dietrich could pull this off? Dietrich starred in seven films directed by von Sternberg, but none of her other roles were of the stature of this one, in which she got to play one of the greatest empresses of all time. The film was roughly based on the diaries left by Catherine the Great. Watch it, you'll enjoy it!
3. Fill in the blank to complete the name of a bus featured in the title of a 1994 Australian film, about drag queens on a trek through the Australian outback: 'The Adventures of _____________, Queen of the Desert'.

Answer: Priscilla

Director Stephan Elliott oversees a magnificent all-star cast in this completely unique film that pits drag queens against the forces of nature. Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce all don ladies attire for this farcical romp.
4. Which 'Princess' movie features lovable characters named Westley, Buttercup and Inigo Montoya?

Answer: The Princess Bride

'The Princess Bride' is the story about love, redemption and the avoidance of iocaine powder. It features Cary Elwes as Westley, a young man who has promised his love to Buttercup (Robin Wright Penn), a woman who is kidnapped by the wicked Prince Humperdinck. All the while, a man named Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) searches for the man who has killed his father. Oh yes, did I mention the ravenous eels?
5. 'The Prince of Tides' features Barbra Streisand as a psychiatrist who falls in love with a patient's brother, played by Nick Nolte. Who directs this interesting psychological drama?

Answer: Barbra Streisand

Babs herself took a turn as the director of this film that is based on a novel by Pat Conroy. Blythe Danner and George Carlin also make notable appearances in the film.
6. 'The Last Emperor' is the story of Pu Yi, a boy who takes the throne of his country at the tender age of three years old. In which country does this story take place?

Answer: China

Pu Yi is played by four different actors in the film 'The Last Emperor', lastly by John Lone, who portrays the boy-emperor in his adult life. Joan Chen, Peter O'Toole and Vivian Wu also star in this movie, possibly the most beautifully filmed work of the 1980s.
7. In 2005, Ridley Scott took the helm directing and producing which film about the siege of Jerusalem, during the Crusade era of the Middle Ages?

Answer: Kingdom of Heaven

'Kingdom of Heaven' focuses on a young knight named Balian who is urged by his father to go to the Holy Land to fight for the Latin Kingdom, centered at Jerusalem. Orlando Bloom plays the lead role, while Edward Norton, Liam Neeson and Jeremy Irons all provide notable supporting performances.
8. Who directs the 1951 classic 'The African Queen', starring the unforgettable duo Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn?

Answer: John Huston

Though Bogart is more well-known for having teamed up with Lauren Bacall, and Hepburn is most often associated with Spencer Tracy, the chemistry of the two cannot be denied in 'The African Queen'. John Huston provides his typical directorial stylistic grace to the film, adapted from a novel by C.S. Forester.
9. Which of these popular movie franchises had a film with the word 'Empire' in its name in 1980?

Answer: Star Wars

The second ever 'Star Wars' film was subtitled 'The Empire Strikes Back', and was released to the public in 1980. It featured the usual gang, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and also added some now wonderfully familiar new characters, such as Lando Calrissian and Yoda.
10. How about a 'Royal' question to complete this 'Royalty' quiz? Which family is 'Royal' in a 2001 film directed by Wes Anderson and starring Gene Hackman and Anjelica Huston?

Answer: Tenenbaum

'The Royal Tenenbaums' was directed and produced by Wes Anderson, who previously had brought us 'Rushmore'. Alongside Hackman and Huston appear Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Luke and Owen Wilson, Danny Glover, Bill Murray and, of course, Kumar Pallana as 'Pagoda'.
