Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In what town does "The Fighter" take place?

Answer: Lowell, Massachusetts

Lowell is where Charlene, Micky, Dicky and the rest of the Ward/Eklund family live. The gym where Micky trains is also located in Lowell. Dicky was once known as "The Pride of Lowell".

2. How are Micky and Dicky related?

Answer: They are half brothers.

They share the same mother in Alice. George Ward is Micky's father and Dick Eklund Sr. is Dicky's father. Micky always looked up to Dicky's boxing career and that is what inspired him to get into boxing.

3. Who does Micky go to Atlantic City to fight?

Answer: Saoul Mamby

Micky trained for months to fight Saoul Mamby in Atlantic City on HBO.

4. What happens to Mamby?

Answer: He gets sick.

Saoul Mamby gets the flu. Micky is offered a replacement fight with Mike Mungin, who had 18 lbs. on him. Micky is hesitant to fight Mungin, but Dicky and Alice talk him into it.

5. Why does Micky really take Charlene to that horrible movie?

Answer: He is embarressed to be in Lowell after the fight.

He tells everyone in Lowell that he is going to win, so he takes her out of town to avoid being seen by anyone he knew.

6. Why does Dicky start robbing people?

Answer: To raise money to train Micky.

At first he tries to raise the money through a scam. But that does not work so he goes another route. I don't think there would have been a movie if Dicky hadn't gotten arrested.

7. What is the song that Dicky sings to Alice in the car?

Answer: I Started a Joke

This scene takes place after Alice finds Dicky at the crack house. Alice seems at a loss for words with him and this song seems to solve the problem for the moment.

8. Which character plays him/herself in the movie?

Answer: Mickey O'Keefe

Mickey O'Keefe is a sergeant for the Lowell, Mass police department. Mickey also trains Micky Ward and the two remain friends.

9. Who directed "The Fighter"?

Answer: David O. Russell

David O. Russell has also worked on two other movies with Wahlberg, "I Heart Huckabees" and "Three Kings". O. Russell was nominated for an Academy Award for "The Fighter".

10. Why doesn't Dicky train Micky at first after he gets out of jail?

Answer: Micky had agreed not to work with him anymore.

Micky had promised his new manager, Sal Lanano, that he would not work with Alice or Dicky anymore. Not surprisingly, Alice and Dicky do not take this news very well.
