From Quiz Break On Through With 'The Doors'

Answer: 'The Movie'

'The movie will begin in five moments, the mindless voice announced...' Val Kilmer, as Morrison, reads off the opening lines of 'Awake Ghost Song' a few minutes later, but the first words spoken in the film are by Morrison himself.

They are working on this song at Ray's house. Robby Krieger also tells Morrison that his lyrics are weird.

This was also the time Jim saw the Navajo Indians, and Jim thought the soul of the elder man leaps into his soul.

Densmore plays the studio engineer in the booth urging Morrison to call it a night in the opening sequence.

This was their first kiss, and it's ironic she said that when the band chose The Doors as their name. Jim climbs down the tree and says "They are a waste of time".

9. As the title of the film floats across the screen, we hear the first actual Doors song in the movie. Which song is it?

From Quiz Break On Through With 'The Doors'

Answer: 'Riders On the Storm'

Fitting, since the script took a good deal of 'inspiration' from John Densmore's memoir of the same name. In fact, the working title for the movie was 'Riders On the Storm.'

10. On the Ed Sullivan show, what word had to be changed in the song "Light My Fire", because of network rules?

Because The Doors never followed network rules, they were never invited on the Ed Sullivan show again.

From Quiz Break On Through With 'The Doors'

Answer: 'Waste of time.'

Whether or not this exchange actually took place, we'll never know...but I found it interesting, all the same, given Morrison's eventual attitude toward fame in general and 'rock god' status in particular.

14. When Jim is recording his life story, what number was on the shirt that he was wearing?

From Quiz The Doors

Answer: 66

Jim drank a whole bottle of whiskey and wanted some tacos when he was done. I hope you are a big Doors fan and remembered that one. He was playing with that feather the whole time.

Jim and Ray (Kyle MacLachlan) met as students at UCLA film school well before forming The Doors. Oliver Stone, by the way, plays their film professor.

16. At the Ed Sullivan show, what lyric was Jim not allowed to sing?

From Quiz The Doors

Answer: higher

This was a lyric from a song that Robby wrote. Robby did not care if Jim sang it or not. Jim sang it and I believe he was banned from future Ed Sullivan shows.

17. In New Haven, before Jim Morrison gave his speech to the crowd about the police, what song is sung?

This is the crucial part of the film, when we realise that Jim and the band are growing apart. He then sobers up and continues making the album.

21. When Jim and Patricia are caught backstage, what does the cop do to Jim?

From Quiz The Doors

Answer: sprays mace in his eyes

"Man in a little blue suit and a little blue hat started pushing me, so I started pushing back and he did not like that." Just after Jim said that he was arrested again.

22. As the idea of forming a band is initally being discussed, 'The Doors' is not the first name suggested. What is?

From Quiz Break On Through With 'The Doors'

Answer: Dionysus

As Ray and Jim are discussing a number of literary, mythological, and psychological inspirations, Jim makes a reference to Dionysus, the Greek god of wine and song. Ray immediately latches onto that idea, and says, 'We should call ourselves Dionysus!' Jim immediately one-ups him, however: 'I was thinking 'The Doors'.'

23. What date did Jim Morrison die?

From Quiz The Doors

Answer: July 3, 1971

This was a bad day for Rock and Roll fans. Jim Morrison reportedly died of "heart failure" when he was 27. Other rumours floated about his death, but no one really knew apart from Pamela Courson, who kept it to herself until she died.

24. How old was Jim when he died and how did he die?

From Quiz The Doors

Answer: 27 of heart failure

Jim drank way too much and did drugs so much that his heart and body gave out at such an early age. Pam found him in the tub. Pam died three years later. RIP brother.

25. The first time we see The Doors actually rehearsing, what song are they working on?

From Quiz Break On Through With 'The Doors'

Answer: 'Break On Through'

Robby Krieger (Frank Whaley) introduces the group to his composition 'Light My Fire' pretty quickly, but when Jim, Ray, Robby, and John are shown together for the very first time, they're feeling their way around 'Break On Through.'

26. Drummer John Densmore (Kevin Dillon) has minor reservations about 'Light My Fire' because he thinks it sounds too much like the style of another band. Which band is it?

From Quiz Break On Through With 'The Doors'

Answer: The Byrds

Of course, this scene takes place in 1961, and The Byrds didn't hit it big until their cover of Bob Dylan's 'Mr. Tambourine Man' hit the charts in 1965...but hey, it's an Oliver Stone movie. =)

27. Jim leads the band into the desert to experiment with peyote. While under the influence, which of The Doors admits to being afraid of his father?

From Quiz Break On Through With 'The Doors'

Answer: Robby Krieger

Jim certainly has 'father issues' as well, but it's Robby who breaks down in tears and makes this particular admission.

28. Fill in the missing word from Pam's line to Jim that more or less serves as the theme of the movie: 'You're a ________, not a rock star.'

Answer: poet

Most biographies of Morrison make this very assertion, and name it as the root cause of his depression and self-destructive behavior.

29. Patricia Kennealy (Kathleen Quinlan) uncovers the fact that Jim has lied to the press about his parents being long dead. According to her research, with which branch of the United States armed services is Jim's father affiliated?

From Quiz Break On Through With 'The Doors'

Answer: the Navy

'Affiliated' is putting it mildly: Admiral Morrison was the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations in Viet Nam!

30. When Jim is arrested for onstage 'vulgarity' for the first time, what state is he in?

From Quiz Break On Through With 'The Doors'

Answer: Connecticut

Jim was arrested -- on stage, no less -- in New Haven, Connecticut in 1968. Less than a year later, he was arrested a second time in Miami, Florida on similar 'public obscenity' charges.
