Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the estimated budget for "Waterworld", which seemed to get prominent mention whenever the film was talked about in the press?

Answer: $175,000,000

Prior to "Titanic" (1997), it was the most expensive movie ever produced.

2. One of our first images of the Mariner is unusual; he is doing what?

Answer: Urinating into a filtering apparatus, to obtain drinkable water

Urine has a higher concentration of salts than seawater, thus the same apparatus used to make urine drinkable would also make seawater drinkable.

3. When another trader steals the peaches from his only plant, the Mariner sinks his boat by running over it.

Answer: False

He told the Mariner that he hadn't boarded his boat, but later mocks the Mariner by holding up the stolen items. The Mariner gets his revenge by running over his boat, breaking his mast, thus enabling the smokers to catch and kill the trader. By the way, it wasn't peaches either.

4. What was the highly prized item that the Mariner had to trade with the buyers from the atoll?

Answer: A jar full of dirt

The buyer tests the quality of the item by tasting it.

5. What famous actor plays "The Deacon"?

Answer: Dennis Hopper

He also played the bad guy in "Speed".

6. Why did Helen think dry land was so hard to find?

Answer: It moved around with the wind

Enola was born and raised on the island by her parents. Helen was not her mother.

7. What method of propulsion did the smokers use to propel the tanker?

Answer: Giant oars

Based on the limited view, besides oil the ship also had a large supply of Spam, cigarettes and whiskey.

8. What was the name of the smoker's ship, visible as it sank beneath the waves?

Answer: Exxon Valdez

It was only visible for a few seconds as the ship sank beneath the waves.

9. Why is the Mariner called a "mutant"?

Answer: He has functioning gills

Gregor tries to compliment him by saying, "That's very human of you", but the Mariner takes it as more of an insult.

10. Was there any sign of civilization on dry land?

Answer: Yes

Some 'Gilligan Island' type huts were found; inside one were some remains of a male and female skeleton; presumably they were Enola's parents; when she arrived in the hut, she said "I'm home."
