The Wrong Movie Trivia Quiz

Answer: Mr. Wrong

"Mr. Wrong" stars Ellen DeGeneres as a woman who thinks she has found Mr. Right, played by Bill Pullman. When she realizes that he is in fact Mr. Wrong, life becomes a series of comical events - including harassment, wooing, misunderstanding, abduction and gunfire. The movie also stars Joan Cusack, Dean Stockwell, Joan Plowright, Hope Davis and Robert Goulet.
The movie did not do well at the box office, earned negative critical reviews, and won DeGeneres a Razzie Award for "Worst New Actor".

Answer: The Wrong Guys

Featuring a group of five former Cub Scouts, "The Wrong Guys" is a comedic romp about adults attempting to relive, and revise, their former failures. Unfortunately, their childhood tormenters are at hand, as are escaped criminals, a sneaky squirrel, an axe-murderer and all the possible glitches of a camping trip gone wrong.
In addition to Armstrong, Lewis and Belzer, the movie features Ernie Hudson, John Goodman, Franklyn Ajaye and Tim Thomerson.

Answer: Wrong Turn

Written by Alan B. McElroy, "Wrong Turn" is a horror/slasher film directed by Rob Schmidt. The story follows a medical student driving through West Virginia, who runs into - literally - a car belonging to a group of five hikers. Stranded in the forest, they split up to search for help, only to find themselves being hunted by three mountain men with cannibalistic habits and brutal determination.
While the movie did not earn good reviews with the critics, it was profitable enough - and popular enough - to spawn several sequels.

Answer: The Wrong Trousers

"The Wrong Trousers" features Wallace and Gromit, a pair of quirky characters created by Nick Park. The rather absent-minded inventor, Wallace, is trying to perfect a pair of remote-controlled trousers, and in need of more money, he rents out a room to a penguin - who turns out to be a wanted criminal. Feeling displaced, the dog Gromit runs away from home, but returns in time to discover that the penguin has involved Wallace in a jewel theft. Madcap antics ensue, and culminate in a train set chase inside the house. The film won an Academy Award for 1993's Best Animated Short Film.

It was the second of the Wallace and Gromit shorts, following 1989's "A Grand Day Out".

Answer: The Wrong Man

In an unusual move for Alfred Hitchcock, "The Wrong Man" is based on a true story. A musician who is struggling to support his family is mistaken for a criminal, and the more he cooperates with the authorities, the deeper into trouble he falls. Despite his attorney's attempts to clear him, the case goes to trial, and it is entirely possible that the wrong man may be found guilty of a string of robberies.
While Alfred Hitchcock did film a cameo for the movie, it was not used. Instead, he narrated the prologue - which was the only time he spoke during any of his films.

Answer: Yes

The 1966 comedy "The Wrong Box" stars John Mills and Ralph Richardson as the last two members of a 'tontine', a sort of insurance/bet which has grown into a fortune - a fortune that will go to the sole survivor. Masterman Finsbury (Mills) wants the fortune to go to his grandson, who is played by Michael Caine. Masterman's brother, Joseph (Richardson), is being watched over by greedy relatives, played by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. Wanting to end the wait, Masterman summons his brother to his supposed 'deathbed', with fratricide in mind.

The ensuing antics include a train crash, mistaken identity, romance and mayhem. The movie is based upon an 1889 novel written by Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne (Stevenson's stepson).

Answer: She Done Him Wrong

The 1933 comedy stars Mae West as Lady Lou, a singer in a Bowery saloon in the 1890s. She is brash, flirtatious, saucy and seductive - and willing to be wooed by diamonds. Unfortunately, the saloon where she sings is under investigation for prostitution and counterfeiting, and the agent doing the investigating, played by Cary Grant, is disguised as the director of a nearby city mission. Lady Lou, has to contend not only with her many male friends, but also the other women in the saloon, and the eventual danger and gunplay that seems inevitable. Besides Mae West and Cary Grant, the movie features the talents of, among others, Owen Moore, Noah Beery, Grace La Rue and Louise Beavers. "She Done Him Wrong" is based on the 1928 play "Diamond Lil", which was written by Mae West.

Answer: Sorry, Wrong Number

In "Sorry, Wrong Number", Barbara Stanwyck stars as an invalid, who overhears a murder plot on her telephone line. As she desperately tries to get someone to listen to her, and the hours pass, she comes to the realization that she is the intended victim.
The screenplay was written by Lucille Fletcher, as an adaptation of the radio drama, also written by her, which premiered in 1943 - starring Agnes Moorehead.

Answer: Wrong is Right

"Wrong is Right" takes a cynical, and darkly funny, look at world politics, US news coverage, covert agencies, terrorism and fanaticism. Sean Connery plays the part of Patrick Hale, a superstar reporter with an incredibly wide range of listeners - and access to a huge number of world leaders.

When he uncovers a once-in-a-lifetime story, involving the theft of two nuclear devices, he sets off to chase the story, and track down the bombs. The movie, which is loosely based on the 1979 novel "The Better Angels", written by Charles McCarry, also starred George Grizzard, Katharine Ross, Leslie Nielsen and Dean Stockwell. And, the movie was neither a critical or commercial success.

Answer: Wrong Again

1929's "Wrong Again" stars the comedy team of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy as stable grooms, trying to win the reward for a missing painting, while under the misconception that the reward is for the return of a horse. With their usual brand of bumbling comedy, the film's sight gags are played with superb comedic timing and straight-faced confusion by the two iconic comedians and their costars. And although it is a silent film, MGM released it with a sound effect/music soundtrack for those theaters which could play sound.
