Oscar Trivia Questions

1. What prompts Angelo "Snaps" Provolone to give up his life of crime?

From Quiz
Oscar

Answer: He made a promise to his dying father.

The deathbed scene, with Kirk Douglas and Yvonne De Carlo, is a classic.

2. Who plays Snaps Provolone?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Sylvester Stallone

In my humble opinion, this is Sly's best acting job ever!

3. Who is the first person to show up at Snaps' door at 8:43 in the morning?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: "Little Ant'ny" Rossano

Vincent Spano plays Anthony with touchingly earnest pomposity. Anthony wants to marry Snaps' daughter.

4. Who plays Snaps' wife, Sophia Provolone?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Ornella Muti

You may also remember the superb Ornella Muti as Ming the Merciless' daughter Aura in the classic 'Flash Gordon' from 1980. Marisa was the daughter 'Lisa', Linda was the new maid 'Roxie' and, Ms. D'Abo wasn't in this particular cinematic masterpiece.

5. Who played Snaps' coke-swilling, 'Lady Chatterly's Lover' - reading, modern, 30s woman, daughther, Lisa?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Marisa Tomei

When she throws a tantrum I dare any red-blooded American male to say no!

6. Who is Snaps' head henchman?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Aldo

Aldo (Peter Riegert) has a hard time adjusting to his new role as butler. Connie (Chazz Palminteri) is the big, dumb lunk with a heart of gold. Ace (Joey Travolta) is evidently a fairly low man on the totem pole, since he gets right to work when Aldo tells him, "Get started on those melon balls!" Johnny Elbows never appears; he's the new chauffeur.

7. Who plays the inspired, but socially inept, linguist Dr. Thornton Poole?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Tim Curry

This is also one of Tim Curry's better roles. If you liked him as Dr. Frankenfurter you'll love him as Dr. Poole! Stallone is Snaps, Riegert (who you may have loved in 'Animal House') is everyone's favorite butler, Aldo. Spano plays Lil Antony.

8. What is Lisa Provolone reading when Snaps comes pounding on her bedroom door?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Lady Chatterly's Lover

Lisa (Marisa Tomei) is lounging in a negligee, smoking a cigarette, reading "Lady Chatterly", and listening to "Sweet Georgia Brown" on the phonograph. Snaps confronts her because he thinks Anthony is her lover.

9. Which veteran actor plays the priest, Father Clemente?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Don Ameche

Fonda, Price and, Lemmon are excellent actors, but Don Ameche was lucky enough to land this role.

10. Who does Snaps want Lisa to marry?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Bruce Underwood

Lisa whines, "I don't want to marry Bruce Underwood! He's a snob and he's got pimples!"

11. Who plays Roxie, the new maid and Snaps' first love?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Linda Grey

He had a thing for her.

12. How many fiances does Lisa have before lunch?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: 2 & two

Snaps tells Lisa, "If it's Poole you want, it's Poole you'll get. But you've got to cross the finish line on this one! This is your third fiance today and it ain't even lunch yet!" But he's counting Oscar (Lisa's real lover) or Bruce Underwood (the man he wants her to marry), and neither of them was engaged to Lisa. Snaps manipulates Anthony into being the first fiance, then Anthony finagles out of the engagement by arranging a match with Dr. Poole.

13. This veteran character actor played Aldo the irrepresible butler. You may also remember him from 'Animal House'.

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Peter Riegert

There are actually two 'Animal House' alumni in this movie. The other is Mark Metcalf of 'Niedermeyer' fame. I guess, director John Landis liked to stick with a good thing. John Belushi and Stephen Furst (Flounder) weren't graced with a role in this film.

14. Why did Nora, the maid, quit?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: To marry Bruce Underwood

Nora (Joycelyn O'Brien) met Bruce when he came to visit Lisa. "Ah, it was love at first sight!"

15. Director of 'Animal House', several 'Amazon Women on the Moon' skits and, the irrepresible 'An American Werewolf in London', who directed 'Oscar'?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: John Landis

We all owe endless thanks to Lucas for 'Star Wars', Spielberg for 'ET' and 'Indiana Jones' and, good old Jerry for 'Armageddon'. 'Oscar', however, was all Landis!

16. What happens to Connie in Lisa's bedroom?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Snaps divests him of all his weapons.

He was packing two guns, a razor, a putty knife, brass knuckles, a chair leg, a knife, poison, a lead pipe, a meat hook, a slingshot, a morning star, and a homemade dynamite bomb. Snaps muttered, "It's like disarming Germany."

17. Which Travolta was in 'Oscar'?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Joey

Is there a Julio Travolta? Joey is one of the gangsters/kitchen help. His is not a big nor important role, but he's a Travolta so I thought you might remember his name.

18. Why was Snaps' wife angry when she got home?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Johnny Elbows had dropped her off at Mass and sat outside with the motor running.

Sofia (Ornella Muti) demanded to know why Snaps had fired Oscar. "He was a real chauffeur."

19. Who plays the valet/gangster Connie?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Chazz Palminteri

With movies like 'The Usual Suspects' and 'nalyze This', you'll love Chazz, despite his being an ox and a moron!

20. Who is getting misinformation about Snaps from Five-Spot Charley?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Vendetti and Lt. Toomey

Five-Spot Charley (Eddie Bracken) is feeding rumors to both Vendetti (Richard Romanus) and Toomey (Kurtwood Smith). He's never one to pass up a buck.

21. What was in the bag when Snaps left it in the library with Connie?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: $50,000 in cash

Aldo switched it for the bag with the underwear while Connie was distracted by Lisa and Dr. Poole.

22. Which 'Animal House' alumnus, known to many as 'Sgt. Niedermeyer' also appeared in 'Oscar' as a banker?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Mark Metcalf

Mark Metcalf, known to several generations as 'Niedermeyer' is one of the bankers. You might remember him reprising his roles in Twisted Sister's video 'I Wanna Rock' and as mentioned in (we shouldn't have fragged Sgt. Neidermeyer) 'Twilight Zone: The Movie'.

23. Who does Toomey think Snaps is meeting with?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Albanian and his gang

Toomey got his false information from Five-Spot Charley. Snaps is meeting with the bankers (William Atherton, Mark Metcalf, Ken Howard, and Sam Chew Jr.) Toomey finds the bag he thinks is full of money and dumps it on the table, only to spill out the maid's underwear. The gentlemen of the press capture this moment.

24. Luigi Finucci was played by what veteran character actor?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Martin Ferrero

Martin Ferrero also played Izzy Moreno, the sleazy informant, on 'Miami Vice'. Joe Pantoliano is just an all-around great actor whose name should be known. He's in one of your favorite movies or TV shows. Really. Google him. You'll be surprised at how many AWESOME movies he's in. I included Ted McGinley because, despite his fine acting skills on the big screen ('Revenge of the Nerds'), he's almost always the kiss of death for a TV series. Think 'Married With Children' or 'Love Boat'. In respect to Mr. McGinley, this is a really cool website for people who are thirtysomething in 2003 http://www.bored.com/

25. What keeps Vendetti from completing the planned massacre of Snaps and everybody in his house?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: His car crashes into Toomey's car, and he and his men are all arrested.

With the resulting arrests, Toomey snatches victory from the jaws of defeat.

26. What is Snaps'(given) first name?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Angelo

Of course, Sly's an angel!

27. Who does Lisa eventually marry?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Dr. Poole

They fell in love while chatting on the atrium. Anthony marries Theresa, as he'd originally planned. Oscar (Jim Mulholland) rushes in at the last minute to object, but Snaps has Aldo and his men cart him outside.

28. What acting patriarch played Snaps' dying father in the opening scene?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas is quite heavy-handed on his death bed.

29. Roughly, how much does Lil Antony steal from Snaps?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: $100,000

It's actually closer to $95,000 but I'm not that much of a geek that I've stopped the DVD to write down the specifics. I know that the remainder is 30 cents. Regardles, Lil Antony gets $50,000 (ish) in jewels from the 5 cent bookkeeping error then, as treasurer of a dummy corporation, writes himself a $50,000 check. Ergo, Antony nets about $100K.

30. Who played Lt. Toomey, the agent determined to bring Snaps to justice?

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Kurtwood Smith

As of 2003, Kurtwood Smith could be found portraying Red Forman on 'That 70s Show'. He was also in 'Dead Poet's Society'. He seems to have a penchant for playing hard-nosed, Archie Bunker-esque characters.
