Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Owen Wilson has a cameo in this film?

Answer: True

In the opening classroom scene, his voice can be heard off camera.

2. How much does Max Fischer weigh?

Answer: 112 lbs

He's an alternate on the wrestling team. Later in the film, Mr. Blume gives Max's description to the police and knows his weight after seeing Max wrestle.

3. How many hours has Max logged in the Piper Cub Club?

Answer: 4.5

The fact that Max is giving the camera a 'thumbs up' is hysterical to me.

4. Where were the school portions of this film shot?

Answer: St. John's

Wes put on elaborate plays at St. John's just as Max did at Rushmore.

5. What book is Ms. Cross reading to her class the first time Max visits her there?

Answer: Kidnapped

"..I have seen wicked men and fools, a great many of both; and I
believe they both get paid in the end. But the fools first."

6. What is the name of Max's backgammon opponent who tells him that Latin has been canceled?

Answer: Alex

I think the only way this is revealed is in the credits and in the screenplay.

7. Max tells Miss Cross that his two colleges of choice are Oxford and..

Answer: Sorbonne

But his safety is Harvard. The Sorbonne is in Paris & Taormina is in Italy.

8. Name the company Max tells the clerk to make the demolition order out to:

Answer: Ready Demolition, Tuscon

Similar to the scene in "Heat" when Val Kilmer does the same thing.

9. What is the name of Mr. Adams' mentor at MIT?

Answer: Dr. Leaky

If you listen close you can hear the professor mention this. Also, the professor in this scene is the same man that Dignan and Anthony rob at the bookstore in "Bottle Rocket".

10. What are the names of Dr. Guggenheim's dogs?

Answer: Copernicus & Nicolas

Naturally his dogs would have some intellectual names.
