You Talking To Me? Trivia Quiz

"Bring It On" stars Eliza Dushku as Missy. The movie is about high school cheerleaders making their way to Nationals. Missy and head cheerleader, Torrance, are from the Rancho Carne Toros and they have to battle an equally talented squad in the East Compton Clovers. Gabrielle Union plays the Clovers head cheerleader Isis and Kirsten Dunst plays Torrance. I would say that Eliza has a really memorable performance in this movie, but a lot of her fans know her as Faith the Vampire Slayer from the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" television series. Did you know that Kevin Smith ("Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back") nicknamed her Duck Shoot?

The movie does not show that Nash and his wife Alicia were divorced, but they were. Jennifer Connelly won an Oscar for her portrayal of his wife Alicia Larde Nash. Did you know that she can speak Italian and French fluently?

"Aliens" is James Cameron's extremely successful sequel to the 1979 movie "Alien". This time Ripley has to return to LV-426 to serve as an adviser in the possible rescue of the planet's colonists. She warns them before, during, and after their trip to take it seriously, but no one pays her much mind. Once again, the Xenomorphic life form wreaks havoc on the visitors, but this time their numbers are breathtaking.

In the end, only two people from the Sulaco survive. Do you remember which two? Ripley is played by actress Sigourney Weaver.

In the very beginnings of the "Alien" story, Ripley was written as a man. The story would have been a lot different if that had stayed true. Did you know that Susan Weaver changed her name to Sigourney after reading "The Great Gatsby"?
