Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In episode one, entitled 'Get Some', while the Marines prepare to invade Iraq, they learn that a columnist from which magazine is to follow them in order to chronicle the experience?

Answer: Rolling Stone

The Marines didn't seem too amenable about it at first, until the journalist informed them he had also worked for 'Hustler' magazine!

2. Who plays Lt. Col. Stephen 'Godfather' Ferrando?

Answer: Chance Kelly

It is Chance Kelly. Look up the real Godfather on YouTube - Chance's portrayal of him is uncanny.

3. Who, in the real First Recon Battalion, plays himself in 'Generation Kill'?

Answer: Sgt. Rodolfo 'Rudy' Reyes

Born 1971 in Kansas City, Rudy served one tour in Afghanistan in 'Operation Enduring Freedom', and two tours in Iraq in 'Operation Iraqi Freedom'. He also posed for the 2007 'America's Heroes Calender'.

Answer: Captain Dave McGraw

Eric Nenninger played Captain America. He also had a long recurring role in 'Malcolm in the Middle'.

5. Which two members of the cast have famous actor fathers?

Answer: Alexander Skarsgard and Sean Brosnan

Alexander's dad, Stellan Skarsgard, has been in 'Good Will Hunting' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean'; and presumably we all know Sean's dad, Pierce Brosnan, the former 007. Incidentally, while Alexander and Sean were filming 'Generation Kill', their dads were filming the movie 'Mamma Mia' together...

6. What song did Colbert's Humvee sing in 'Combat Jack'?

Answer: Teenage Dirtbag

I love that not everyone is singing the right words, unlike in a lot of movies where everyone seems to know the exact words ALL the way through every song. 'Cus that happens...

7. Episode four, entitled 'Combat Jack, why did the troops have to go back into the town that they had just been through?

Answer: They were told that one of their colleagues had been crucified in that town and they had to go back in and collect his body.

One of the rules of the Marines is that they never leave a dead man behind, no matter what the situation.

8. The real Sgt. Eric Kocher, (played by Owain Yeoman) also plays a role in 'Generation Kill'.

Answer: True

Sgt. Eric Kocher plays Gunnery Sgt Rich Barrett, and he was also the Technical Adviser on the set when filming.

9. Captain Craig 'Encino Man' Schwetje gives a speech in episode four intended to inspire the men, ending with reminding them just who their enemy is. Who did he say their enemy was?

Answer: The Enemy

Sgt Colbert is left standing open mouthed and says "I am in awe!" Apparently, Brian Wade who plays Encino Man could have been a professional footballer were it not for a back injury, forcing him into early retirement.

10. Where did the majority of the filming take place?

Answer: South Africa

The bulk of filming was done in South Africa, in areas like Uppington and Johannesburg. Another area they filmed was in Swakopmund, where Angelina Jolie adopted one of her children.
