Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who played Alex Rogan, our hero?

Answer: Lance Guest

This was a great movie to launch his career but it seems that he made only a couple of other movies, that were not well received. His most notable was probably 'Jaws, The Revenge', where he played Michael Brody.
2. What is the name of the trailer park that Alex lived in with his mother and brother?

Answer: Starlite, Starbrite

We see the name of the trailer park at the beginning of the movie. It is on a large neon sign. The area where this part of the film was made was an abandoned trailer park and store called, 'Rio', located in Canyon Country, S. California.
3. Alex scores the record playing on a video game at the store. What is the name of the game?

Answer: Starfighter

Once Alex set the high record, this led to his recruitment as a starfighter for real!
4. Who arrives at the trailer park, and takes Alex to begin his new career as a starfighter?

Answer: Centauri

At first, Centauri appears human, but we find out that he is in fact an alien wearing a human mask. This part was played by the wonderful, Robert Preston, famous for the movie, 'The Music Man'. Of course, he acted in many other films too. This sadly, was his last movie.
5. What planet does Centauri take Alex to, to become a starfighter?

Answer: Rylos

Centauri takes Alex to Rylos to become a starfighter, as it was his idea to put the Starfighter game on Earth, to look for new recruits. Alex is told where he is going, during his space flight with Centauri.
6. Alex meets his Gunstar navigator there. What is his name?

Answer: Grig

Grig is a friendly, reptilian navigator that trains Alex to become a starfighter, in one of the Gunstars. He was portrayed by actor, Dan O'Herlihy.
7. Alex calls the Gunstar navigator something in the movie. This is one of my favourite lines! What does Alex call him?

Answer: Gung Ho Iguana

After the destruction of the Rylos fleet of Gunstars, Alex says - 'I'm about to get killed a million miles from nowhere, with a Gung Ho Iguana!'.
8. What is the name of the traitor and baddie of the movie?

Answer: Xur

Xur is from Rylos originally but turns against them, as he has been promised that he would rule Rylos after their destruction. Xur is the son of Ambassador Enduran. Xur was played by actor Norman Snow.
9. What is the name of the attacking fleet of ships led by Lord Kril?

Answer: Ko-Dan Armada

This is as in the Starfighter game that Alex played on Earth, the introduction of that game says it all. Once on Rylos, he is attending a meeting of fellow recruits, and the Ambassador says, "Greetings starfighters. You have been recruited by the Star League, to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada". Alex realises that this is exactly the same introduction as the video game. Lord Kril was played by actor, Dan Mason.
10. After the destruction of the Gunstar fleet on Rylos, there is one ship left, a much more advanced Gunstar that Grig had been working on, in another part of the hangar. This ship is equipped with a special weapon. What is it called?

Answer: Death Blossom

This weapon is an advancement on the normal Gunstar weapons, that would be used to fully destroy the Ko-Dan Armada. It does, however, make me feel sick, as it rotates and spins every which way, but to great effect.
11. We go back to Earth for this one. What is the name of Alex's younger brother?

Answer: Louis

Louis is a typical little boy who has a rough time of it for a while, during his brother's absence, thanks to the Alex's replacement! Here is a piece of useless information for you, Wil Wheaton played the part of his best friend, but the part was cut from the movie, so he was never seen! Good trivial information, in case it pops up in another quiz! The part of Louis was played by Chris Hebert.
12. What does Centauri call the replacement for Alex?

Answer: Beta Unit

This android is brought by Centauri when he comes for Alex and, as soon as the two have shaken hands, there is a small electric charge between them. Beta gets out of the car, and begins his transformation into the Alex replica. This causes no end of problems for everyone back on Earth!
13. What is the name of Alex's girlfriend at the trailer park?

Answer: Maggie

Eventually Beta has to reveal all to Maggie. She accepts that the Beta unit is not the real Alex, when he drives a truck into a ship that is transmitting to Xur, and that Alex is indeed, in space somewhere. This part was played by Catherine Mary Stewart.
14. What is the name of the alien race that pursues Alex on Earth, then tries to relay this information back to Xur but their ship is destroyed by Beta before their transmission is complete?

Answer: Xandoxans

The Xandoxans are assassins in the service of Xur. One of them arrives to kill Alex before he can leave for Rylos and attack the armada. Alex is joined by Beta to repel this attack but Centauri is shot in the process. However he manages to kill the Xandoxan in the attempt. Soon after Alex tells Maggie that he is in fact a Beta unit, steals a pick-up truck and drives it into the Xandoxan ship, blowing it up, thus preventing the transmission to Xur.

The part of the alien is played by actor Marc Alaimo.
15. Finally, who plays Alex's mother in this movie?

Answer: Barbara Bosson

She went on to many other roles. In 'Hill Street Blues' (which was written by her then husband, Steven Bochco) she played Fay Furillo. They were married from 1970 to 1997.
