From Quiz

From Quiz Hot Tempered Dogs (and a Cat)

Answer: Oliver Twist

Bill Sikes is the owner of Bulls-eye. Sikes is a wicked criminal who mistreats, and eventually kills, Nancy, who has befriended Oliver, a member of Fagin's gang. While trying to avoid the police, Sikes tries to drown the faithful dog, but eventually manages only to meet his own death, by hanging.

From Quiz Sharks

Answer: Roy Scheider

'Sharks', the Space song after which this quiz is named, features the line 'I think I'm in 'Jaws' with Roy Scheider'. Scheider plays Chief Martin Brody, the hero of both the original film and the sequel 'Jaws 2'. He kills the shark in 'Jaws' by blowing it up with a pressurised scuba tank, which he shoots with a rifle. Richard Dreyfuss plays Matt Hooper, a marine biologist who is able to determine that a great white shark caused the death of a young female swimmer. Robert Shaw plays Quint, a shark hunter and war veteran who becomes obsessed with killing the shark and owns the Orca (the 'bigger boat'). He ends up being eaten by the shark. Peter Benchley, who wrote the novel on which the film was based, has a cameo as a reporter.

5. In the Footrot Flats movie "A Dog's Tale" based around the cartoons of the late Murray Ball, what kind of animal was Horse?

From Quiz Beasts on Screen

Answer: Cat

Horse was a particularly big nasty cat whose mother was an alley cat with an eye patch and a hook instead of a front paw. His father is reputed to be a barracuda. Not quite sure how that one works. Horse was feared by all the other animals and humans except Aunt Dolly and Cooch. Murray Ball based the comics loosely on his own life and animals on his New Zealand, West Coast farm.

6. The short story 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band' featured which fictional detective?

From Quiz Snakes in a Quiz

Answer: Sherlock Holmes

The tale, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was first published in 1892. In the story, Holmes is asked by Helen Stoner to investigate strange happenings at the home shared with her stepfather, where her sister had died previously. Holmes deduces that the stepfather is planning to kill Helen, having already disposed of her sister, using a venomous snake as the murder weapon. Holmes is able to turn the tables on the villain.

7. 'The Wind in the Willows' by Kenneth Grahame is not known for its imaginatively named characters as it includes Badger (a badger), Mole (a mole), Mr Toad (a toad) and Otter (an otter). However, Otter's young son has a less obvious name - what is it?

From Quiz Otter Nonsense

Answer: Portly

The other famous character from the 'The Wind in the Willows' is Rat or Ratty, a gregarious water vole (or water rat). Mole and Badger are more introverted characters while Mr Toad is a spoiled aristocratic character. Otter is a friend, and fishing partner, of Ratty whose young son Portly is extremely adventurous - judging by the regularity with which he goes missing! Port wine originates from the Douro region of Portugal; a haven is a place of safe refuge for shipping, such as a port; and stout could mean overweight, brawny, or a type of beer.

8. Who are two pals of Clifford, the Big Red Dog, on Birdwell Island?

9. Charming '80s comedy "Crocodile Dundee" has put a lot of smiles on the viewers' faces. Which Australian actor wrote the story and also played the leading role?

From Quiz Never Smile at a Crocodile

Answer: Paul Hogan

In "Crocodile Dundee" American journalist Sue Charlton (played by Linda Kozlowski) travels to the Australian outback to report on Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee, a bushman who was supposed to have lost two legs fighting a crocodile. When she meets him she find out he only has a scar and at first she is appalled by his coarse behaviour. After a while she is impressed by his ability to deal with the wildlife, especially when he saves her from an attack by a crocodile. They travel to New York where Sue refuses a marriage proposal from her editor and longtime boyfriend Richard (Mark Blum). At the end of the movie Sue and Mick get together on a crowded railway platform, after Mick walked on the hands of the crowd to reach her. The story was written by Paul Hogan, who also played the leading role. It was based on the life of Rodney Ansell, a bushman who survived in the wild for 56 days. The movie was made with a relatively small budget and became the second-highest grossing movie of 1986. Two sequels were made but none came close to the success of the first movie. Before "Crocodile Dundee" made Hogan a global celebrity he was already famous in Australia for "The Paul Hogan Show", a comedy sketch program. After filming the movie Hogan divorced his wife and married co-star Linda Kozlowski. The three wrong answers are all Australian actors, too.

27. Marlene the Otter is a playful and determined character, with improbably long and curly eyelashes. She appears alongside characters from the 2005 movie 'Madagascar' in which TV spin-off produced by DreamWorks and Nickelodeon?

From Quiz Otter Nonsense

Answer: The Penguins of Madagascar

'The Penguins of Madagascar' is set in Central Park Zoo and focuses on the story of four penguins from the original 'Madagascar' movie - Skipper, Rico, Kowalski and Private. Marlene is a new character developed for the TV series and is the only resident otter at the zoo. She is usually a fair-minded, peaceable character but when she sets paw outside the zoo she develops a real wild side! 'Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa' and 'Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted' are film sequels to 'Madagascar' released in 2008 and 2012 respectively. 'Oh, Beloved Land of our Ancestors!' is the national anthem of the African island country of Madagascar.

28. Which two pals star in the movie "Madagascar"?

From Quiz Animal Pals in Books and Movies

Answer: Marty the Zebra and Alex the Lion

Of course Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo, not to mention the Penguins, also star in the film, but I'm keeping the theme of the quiz in couples. Although lions, zebras, giraffes, and hippos are all found in Africa, the continent to which Madagascar is closest, none of the four are native to the island, although at one time the Malagasy hippo lived there, but it is now extinct.

29. Eeyore from A. A. Milne's "Winnie-the-Pooh" is often considered one of the most famous donkeys from western literature. He was one of Christopher Robin Milne's original stuffed toys. Why, though, was the name Eeyore chosen for Milne's novel?

From Quiz Be Cool or Be Mule

Answer: It was named after the sound a donkey makes

In American English, a donkey's braying is called a "heehaw". The "r" in "Eeyore" then, was due to most during Milne's time speaking in non-rhotic English. Eeyore first appeared in Milne's novel "Winnie-the-Pooh" in 1926. He became an animated character of Disney in 1966, and had a film specifically about him (also Disney) in 1983.

30. The sea monster in Carlo Collodi's 'The Adventures of Pinocchio' is known by what name?

From Quiz Animals in Fiction

Answer: The Terrible Dogfish

The Terrible Dogfish is described as "larger than a five story building, a kilometer long (not including the tail) and sporting a mouth with three rows of teeth that can easily accommodate a whole train". So fearsome is its reputation the Dogfish is nicknamed "The Attila of fish and fishermen".
