J - People Themed Trivia Questions

1. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson can be seen in his first film in 1999. It is a documentary about the lives of certain professional wrestlers when they are not putting on a show in the ring. What is the name of this film?

From Quiz
Can You Smell What This Quiz Is Cookin'?

Answer: Beyond the Mat

This interesting documentary focuses on the personal lives of a handful of pro wrestlers as well as some up and comers. Other than The Rock, we get to hear the stories of Mick Foley, Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Terry Funk mostly.

2. Which 1965 Disney comedy starred Dean Jones as FBI Agent Zeke Kelso and Hayley Mills as Patti Randall?

From Quiz Dean Jones Fan Club

Answer: That Darn Cat

It all began when D.C. (Darn Cat) showed up wearing a wristwatch for a collar which turned out to be a clue in a kidnapping. This very funny 1965 Disney comedy starred Hayley Mills as spunky Patti Randall. Dean Jones played Zeke Kelso, an FBI Agent who was allergic to cats. The supporting cast included some fine character actors including Elsa Lanchester, Ed Wynn, Dorothy Provine, and Roddy MacDowall. D.C. (Darn Cat) was a Disney veteran, appearing as Taps in "The Incredible Journey". Disney remade "That Darn Cat" in 1997. This time Christina Ricci starred as Patti and Doug E. Doug played Agent Kelso. Dean Jones also played a supporting role as Mr. Flint.

3. For which movie was Milla nominated for Worst Actress?

From Quiz Milla Jovovich Films

Answer: The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc

Milla was nominated for Worst Actress in 2000 in the Razzie Awards. Milla played Joan of Arc. Her character led the French to victory against the English. She felt that she was a messenger from God. Joan was considered a witch and a lunatic for her beliefs.

4. In which film was Janssen's character's last name Onatopp?

From Quiz Famke Janssen Films

Answer: Goldeneye

'Onatopp.' 'Onatopp?' 'Onatopp.' Who can forget that scene in the sauna? This was Pierce Brosnan's first (and arguably best) Bond film.

5. This Hollywood immortal produced "Gone With The Wind" and many other films.

From Quiz 10 Degrees of Jennifer Jones

Answer: David O. Selznick

Selznick, of course, brought "Gone With The Wind" to movie screens in 1939, but before then was known for his lavish adaptations of such classics as "David Copperfield" for MGM; in the mid-30s he became an independent producer, although MGM distributed "Wind". For the rest of his life Selznick tried to equal the success of "Wind". He married Jones in 1949. (The "O" stood for Oliver, but Selznick adopted the initial to give himself class!)

6. In Disney's 1966 comedy "The Ugly Dachshund", freelance artist Mark Garrison was in the doghouse because of his dog Brutus, a very large dog that thought it was a lapdog. What kind of dog was Brutus?

From Quiz Dean Jones Fan Club

Answer: Great Dane

The Garrison household was literally turned upside down by four mischievous dachshunds and a Great Dane who thought it was their brother in Disney's 1966 comedy "The Ugly Dachshund". Dean Jones played Mark Garrison and Suzanne Pleshette co-starred as Fran Garrison. Charlie Ruggles was family vet Dr. Pruitt.

7. Milla played Lucia in which of her films?

From Quiz Milla Jovovich Films

Answer: The Claim

Milla's character was also known as Lucetta. Lucia owned a bar in the town. Lucia and her daughter were sold by her husband to the devil, for a claim to a gold mine. Milla sang a fado in the movie. A fado is Portugal's version of the blues. Milla's character sang in bars and was also a madam. The film was also known as "Kingdom Come."

8. In 'City of Industry' (1997), Janssen's character nursed whose character back from the brink of death?

From Quiz Famke Janssen Films

Answer: Harvey Keitel

This movie pretty much stank, but it's interesting because in my memory, all of the scenes with Janssen seem like they're from an entirely different (and much better quality) film. Dominguez played her husband and Hutton was Keitel's brother. Dorff, Hutton, Keitel, and Dominguez went in together for a heist, but Dorff double-crossed them, killing Hutton and Dominguez. Keitel found Janssen and appealed to her for help.

9. What character does Dwayne Johnson play in the 2008 comedy 'Get Smart'?

From Quiz Can You Smell What This Quiz Is Cookin'?

Answer: Agent 23

Dwayne plays the smooth and charismatic Agent 23 in this 2008 comedy. It is based on the 1960s comedy television series with the same title. Steve Carell stars as the main character in the film, Maxwell Smart. Anne Hathaway, Alan Arkin, Terence Stamp, Terry Crews, James Caan and David Koechner also star.

10. In 1946, Jones starred in the splashy Western epic "Duel In The Sun" as a Mexican spitfire who set two brothers, one good, one bad, against each other. Who played the bad one?

From Quiz 10 Degrees of Jennifer Jones

Answer: Gregory Peck

The last half of the 1940s saw a long decline in Selznick's fortunes as he desperately tried to duplicate the success of "Gone With The Wind". He produced the overblown film of Niven Busch's "Duel In The Sun" for his future wife. Jones is Pearl Chavez who goes to live with the McCanles family in 1870s Texas after her father is hanged for killing her adulterous mother. In one of his early roles Peck plays spoiled Lewt McCanles, who only thinks of women in terms of sex. Because of his lust, not love, for Pearl, he eventually picks up a murder charge, and finally he and Pearl unite after they fatally shoot each other! Peck only played one other villainous role, as Joseph Mengele, in 1978's "The Boys From Brazil". For Peck at his best in a Western, see him as Ringo in Henry King's 1950 classic "The Gunfighter" (a far better film, to me, than "High Noon"!) In 1956's "The Man In The Gray Flannel Suit", Peck would be Jones' husband, an exec who had an affair with Italian girl Pier Angeli and had an son with her. Jones was enraged on finding out this, but later Peck repented and reconciled with his wife.

11. Please tell me the name of the 1967 Disney comedy that starred Dean Jones, Maurice Chevalier, Yvette Mimieux, and four smart, olive-picking monkeys?

From Quiz Dean Jones Fan Club

Answer: Monkeys, Go Home!

In Disney's 1967 comedy "Monkeys, Go Home!", Dean Jones played Henry "Hank" Dussard, a young American who inherited a rundown olive farm in the south of France. When none of the villagers would help him, Hank brought in a team of former Air Force space monkeys to pick olives. Maurice Chevalier co-starred as the local priest and Yvette Mimieux played the lovely village girl Maria.

12. In which movie did Milla play a punk rock singer?

From Quiz Milla Jovovich Films

Answer: Dummy

Milla played Fangora in this 2003 flick. She lived in a dysfunctional household. Fangora found out that singing Yiddish music was her niche in her musical career. Milla's character was friendly with Steven - a ventriloquist. Fangora helped Steven with his relationship with a girl.

13. In 'The Adventures of Sebastian Cole' (1998), Sebastian frequently rides his bike through the hallways of his school, evading the school's authorities. How does he finally get stopped?

From Quiz Famke Janssen Films

Answer: The janitor spills soapy mop water on the floor and Sebastian's bike slips.

This movie was pretty funny, but not as good as I had hoped it would be. I was also pretty disappointed by Adrian Grenier's judgment in going from this starring role to a role as Melissa Joan Hart's love interest in the teen flick 'Drive Me Crazy'. Oh, well. Janssen's role in this film was very small, but by some standards it's better to have a small role in a good film than a large role in a bad one.

14. In this 2010 film, Dwayne Johnson plays the role of a man out to avenge the death of his brother after a heist gone wrong. Which film is this?

From Quiz Can You Smell What This Quiz Is Cookin'?

Answer: Faster

Johnson plays the roll of James Cullen (also known as Driver). This action drama also stars Billy Bob Thornton, Carla Gugino, Jennifer Carpenter, Mike Epps, and Tom Berenger to name a few. Actress Salma Hayek was the original choice for the role of Detective Cicero, but was replaced by Carla Gugino after Hayek had to drop out of the film.

15. He was a frequent co-star of Orson Welles, ever since "Citizen Kane", and usually played good guys, but he was a memorable Hitchcock villian. He co-starred twice with Jones. His name?

From Quiz 10 Degrees of Jennifer Jones

Answer: Joseph Cotten

Cotten, a Virginian, debuted opposite Welles in "Citizen Kane". His Uncle Charlie in "Shadow of a Doubt" would be the template for future Hitchcock villains, including Walker's Bruno. Yet poor Cotten rarely got the girl in his films! For instance, at the end of "The Third Man", Valli, mistress of Welles' Harry Lime, walks right past Cotten's Holly Martins! In "Duel" Cotten's Jesse sees Pearl in Lewt's arms and dumps her! But Pearl was struggling against Lewt. Later, when Jesse is about to marry another girl and Pearl is fleeing Lewt and seeks refuge with Jesse, Lewt finds them and cold-bloodedly guns down Jesse, though Jesse survives. (In Busch's novel, Pearl just kills Lewt and marries Jesse.) Later Cotten and Jones re-teamed for Selznick's film of the Robert Nathan fantasy "Portrait of Jennie" where Cotton paints Jones' portrait and learns she died (!) in a wrecked ship years before!

16. Dean Jones starred as Steve Walker, coach of the klutzy Godolphin track team, in Disney's hilarious 1968 movie "Blackbeard's Ghost". Who starred as the ghost of Blackbeard?

From Quiz Dean Jones Fan Club

Answer: Peter Ustinov

Blackbeard's shade was cursed to walk forever in limbo and Coach Steve Walker was cursed to be haunted by him until the rascally pirate could do one good deed. Suzanne Pleshette starred as Prof. Jo Anne Baker. Jody Baker played small time gangster Silky Seymour who planned on pitching Blackbeard's descendants out and putting a big, modern casino where their inn stood.

17. What was Milla's character's name in "Chaplin?"

From Quiz Milla Jovovich Films

Answer: Mildred Harris

Mildred Harris was Charlie's second wife. Milla co-starred with Robert Downey Jr. and she had a short part in the film. The film was made in 1992 by the director Richard Attenborough. Milla's character was only seen for about fifteen minutes.

18. The 2009 animated film 'Planet 51' is about a NASA astronaut who lands on a planet without knowing that it is inhabited by green alien-like creatures. What is the name of this character that Dwayne Johnson voices in the movie?

From Quiz Can You Smell What This Quiz Is Cookin'?

Answer: Captain Charles T. Baker

Directed by Jorge Blanco, 'Planet 51' was the most expensive film produced in Spain when it was released in 2009. This British/Spanish animated comedy stars Jessica Biel, Gary Oldman, Justin Long, John Cleese, and Seann William Scott as well as Dwayne Johnson. 'Planet One' is what the film was originally going to be titled.

19. In 1953's "Niagara" George Loomis is a disturbed war veteran whose slutty wife planned his murder with her lover...and got the tables turned on her! Who was the actress who played the faithless wife?

From Quiz 10 Degrees of Jennifer Jones

Answer: Marilyn Monroe

In Henry Hathaway's 1953 melodrama "Niagara" Monroe was Rose Loomis, who plotted the death of hubby Cotten with her lover. But Cotten turned the tables by killing the lover and then, in a memorable scene, murdered Monroe in a bell tower. After being locked in there, Cotten sees Monroe's lipstick and other valuables and goes up to her corpse, saying "I loved you, Rose, you know that!" What more can you say about Monroe? After a string of minor roles in the late 40s, she hit big with parts in Huston's "Asphalt Jungle" and Mankewicz's "All About Eve". By the time of Hawk's "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", she was THE sex goddess of the 50s. Jayne Mansfield was the only one who ever approached Monroe's level of success with her two Frank Tashlin films, "The Girl Can't Help It" and "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?"

20. Milla co-starred with Christian Slater - in which film?

From Quiz Milla Jovovich Films

Answer: Kuffs

Milla played Maya Carlton, girlfriend of Christian Slater's character George Kuffs. After George found out that Maya was pregnant, he left town to get a loan from his brother, who was murdered shortly thereafter. After his brother was murdered George became the owner of his brother's security agency.

21. What was the profession of Janssen's character in 'Made' (2001)?

From Quiz Famke Janssen Films

Answer: stripper

She played a mother and stripper involved with Jon Favreau's character. Favreau and Vince Vaughn played construction workers who got roped into doing a job for a mafia type who happened to manage Janssen's assignments. This was supposed to be the follow up to 'Swingers' but it was nowhere near as good.

22. Dwayne Johnson plays the role of Raymond "Ray J" Gaines in this 2015 disaster film that takes place in California. Name it.

From Quiz Can You Smell What This Quiz Is Cookin'?

Answer: San Andreas

Raymond Gaines is a rescue-chopper pilot who goes on a dangerous mission during a massive and devastating California earthquake in order to save his estranged wife Emma and their daughter Blake. Carla Gugino stars as Emma and Alexandra Daddario plays the role of Blake.

23. Among the many films this brawny he-man did were many westerns, including the only one directed by Otto Preminger. His name?

From Quiz 10 Degrees of Jennifer Jones

Answer: Robert Mitchum

Hargitay was married to Mansfield (their daughter is actress Mariska Hargitay)! In the only western directed by Otto Preminger ("Laura"), "River of No Return", Monroe is a saloon singer whose lover, Rory Calhoun, is the film's villain; after he dumps her and steals Mitchum's horse, she joins Mitchum and his little son on a wild raft ride down a Northwestern river with Indians after them. After Calhoun is killed by the son, Mitchum and Monroe are re-united. Monroe had a bit part as a chorus girl in 1950's "A Ticket to Tomahawk", a Western spoof, and her last role would be in John Huston's modern western "The Misfits", written by her ex-husband, Arthur Miller. It would also be the final film for Monroe's co-star Clark Gable.

24. Dean Jones was first teamed with a magical Volkswagen beetle in Disney's 1968 comedy "The Love Bug". The car's name was Herbie. What was the name of Dean Jones' character?

From Quiz Dean Jones Fan Club

Answer: Jim Douglas

The popular Herbie franchise has been very lucrative for Disney and Dean Jones has been along for much of the ride. While Jones did not appear in "Herbie Rides Again" (1974) or "Herbie Goes Bananas" (1980), he was in the driver's seat in "Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo" (1977). Jones also starred as Jim Douglas in the 1982 Disney television series "Herbie The Love Bug" and the 1997 Disney made-for-television movie "The Love Bug". Herbie was back on the track with Lindsay Lohan and Michael Keaton in the 2005 Disney comedy "Herbie: Fully Loaded".

25. Milla played an evil henchwoman. Which movie was this?

From Quiz Milla Jovovich Films

Answer: Zoolander

Milla's character's name was Katinka. She brainwashed Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) to kill the president of Malaysia. Katinka worked for Mugatu (Will Ferrell). Katinka tried to killed Zoolander when he didn't kill the president of Malaysia.

26. In which movie does Janssen's character tell another character that he'll be sucking her toes until graduation?

From Quiz Famke Janssen Films

Answer: The Faculty

This was the second part of one of those 'I'm gonna shove my foot so far up your behind' -type statements, directed at Josh Hartnett's character.

27. A comic pistol duel was fought in the Stanley Donen farce "The Grass Is Greener". One of the duellists, an English-born star, worked with Hawks and Hitchcock, among other directors. Who was he?

From Quiz 10 Degrees of Jennifer Jones

Answer: Cary Grant

Again, what more can you say about Cary Grant? His films for Hawks and Hitchcock are legendary. "The Philadelphia Story", "Gunga Din", "Charade", "Operation Petticoat"...he had a string of hits and masterpieces! In Hawks' "Monkey Business", he's a research scientist who discovers a drug that can seemingly restore a person's youth. Married to Ginger Rogers, he has a brief fling with Monroe's bubble-headed secretary, who can't even type! As her boss, played by Charles Coburn ("Piggy" in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes") says, "Anyone can type!" Olivier co-starred with and directed Monroe in "The Prince and The Showgirl".

28. Dean Jones teamed up again with Herbie, the little car with the big heart, in Disney's 1977 comedy "Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo". Who co-starred as Jones' sidekick Wheely Applegate?

From Quiz Dean Jones Fan Club

Answer: Don Knotts

This time Herbie took racing international and got involved with jewel thieves on the way from Paris to Monte Carlo. Dean Jones again starred as Jim Douglas. Don Knotts played his sidekick Wheely Applegate and Julie Sommars co-starred as Diane Darcy.

29. In which of Milla's movies did she play a maid of honor?

From Quiz Milla Jovovich Films

Answer: You Stupid Man

Milla played Nadine. Nadine helped Owen (David Krumholtz) get over his ex. Owen then agreed to go on a blind date with Milla's character. This film was released in Germany 2002 and also co-starred Denise Richards.

30. An early scene of 'House on Haunted Hill' (1999) takes place where?

From Quiz Famke Janssen Films

Answer: on a ride at an amusement park

If I remember correctly, the ride is one where you get in an elevator that is supposedly taking you to the start of the ride, but it is in fact designed as the ride itself, simulating a drop and other disastrous things that can take place in elevators. Janssen played Evelyn, the wife of the millionaire hosting the party.
