L - People Themed Trivia Questions

1. "The Big Boss", released in 1971 and produced by Golden Harvest, was an instant success. This movie was a story based io which location in Asia?

From Quiz
Bruce Lee's Martial Arts Movies

Answer: Thailand

This movie made Bruce into a super star instantly in Asia and broke the Hong Kong box office record in 1971. This movie is also known as "Fists of Fury".

2. While the career path in the motion picture industry has often been considered Hollywood, Richard Linklater has preferred to operate out of what other city?

From Quiz The Directors: Richard Linklater

Answer: Austin, Texas

Linklater has chosen to avoid the attraction to Hollywood. Or as Oscar Levant once said "Strip away the phony tinsel of Hollywood and you'll find the real tinsel underneath". Linklater has operated out of Austin, Texas giving him freedom to be creative and less bound to the formulas of the multiplex. Many of his films have taken place within a day and were dialog driven rather than action. Several of his films have had an Austin locale.

3. In the film, "Brats", Stan says to Ollie, "Remember the old adage: You can lead a horse to water..." What does Stan say next?

From Quiz Stan Laurel - "Stan-isms"

Answer: "But a pencil must be lead!"

Ollie is trying to get Stan and Ollie juniors to go to bed. When he tells the kids, "If you brats don't get to bed, I'll break your necks!" Stan replies, "Shh. Don't talk to them like that. Treat them with kindness. You'll get more out of them. Remember the old adage, you can lead a horse to water but a pencil must be lead!" Oddly enough, Ollie seems to understand Stan perfectly! One of Stan's classic lines!

4. "Finding Nemo" was "Ned Kelly"'s goal and as "The Last Samurai" he could not let "The Curse of the Black Pearl" stop him. Which movie belongs to Heath?

From Quiz Heath Ledger - A Movie Story

Answer: Ned Kelly

"Ned Kelly" stars Ledger in the title role, with Orlando Bloom and Geoffrey Rush in supporting roles. Kelly was a legendary bushranger in Australia and the film is loosley based on his exploits. Ledger received two nominations for Best Actor for the film from the Film Critics Circle Awards and Australian Film Institute Awards. Bloom was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor by the Australian Film Institute Awards for his role. The other three films all came out in 2003, the same year as "Ned Kelly". Year-end box office totals ranked "Finding Nemo" number 2, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" number 4, and "The Last Samurai" number 6.

5. Which character did Christopher play in 'The Three Musketeers' 1973, 'The Four Musketeers' 1974 and 'The Return of the Musketeers' 1989?

From Quiz Fangs for the Memories - Christopher Lee

Answer: Rochefort

'IMDB' tells us that Rochefort was a classic villain, who used to be a musketeer himself, before betraying his fellow brothers and turning towards the bad side, namely Richelieu. The movies portrayed Rochefort as a darker character than the book and Christopher wore an eye patch to add to the sinister persona. Christopher wasn't the only cast member to reprise his role in the three movies; Michael York, Oliver Reed, Frank Finlay and Richard Chamberlain played D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Comic UK actor, Roy Kinnear also starred in the three movies as Planchet, but in 'The Return of the Musketeers' he fell from a horse, broke his pelvis and subsequently bled to death.

6. Sidney Lumet's directorial debut was the film "Twelve Angry Men". Henry Fonda plays an idealistic juror, who convinces his 11 fellow jurors to acquit a seemingly guilty defendant. What number juror is Henry Fonda's character?

From Quiz The Films of Sidney Lumet

Answer: 8

"Twelve Angry Men" was a Best Picture Nominee featuring Fonda, Lee J. Cobb, E.G. Marshall, Jack Warden and Jack Klugman.

7. Any quiz on Ladd should start with "Shane" - his best movie (and one of the best Westerns ever made). Who played the young boy?

From Quiz Alan Ladd Movies

Answer: Brandon De Wilde

A nice job by the kid - who died at 30 in a traffic accident. Great supporting job by Ladd's good friend, Van Heflin. Jean Arthur was also quite good as Heflin's wife; Jack Palance turned in a memorable role as a villain. A classic.

8. Which film starred Priscilla Lane and Jack Benny?

From Quiz Priscilla Lane

Answer: The Meanest Man In The World

"The Meanest Man In The World" was released in 1943, and also stars Eddie "Rochester" Anderson and Edmund Gwenn. Jack Benny plays a nice-guy, small-town lawyer who moves to New York City to make his fortune. He's not successful, until a friend advises him to convince the world that he's ruthless and mean. When he does, he becomes the most popular lawyer in town. But when his small-town fiancee (Lane) comes to visit, she doesn't like what she thinks he's become.

9. The first few films Christopher featured in all originate from which country?

From Quiz Christopher Lambert Movies

Including movies such as 'Lýgitime violence'(1982), and 'Le Bar du týlýphone', (1980).

10. In which 1977 Horror film did Piper Laurie play the lead character after whom the film was named?

Answer: James Tien

James Tien was already an established star during the 1970s but the performance by Bruce Lee outshone James.

12. In 1995 Richard Linklater directed the first segment of what was to be his critically acclaimed trilogy called "Before Sunrise". Who played the two leads, Jesse and Celine, in the film?

From Quiz The Directors: Richard Linklater

Answer: Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke

In "Before Sunrise"(1995) Jesse, an American, and Celine, a French girl, met on a train and began to feel a connection. On an impulse they left the train to spend the day together and share some adventures. They seemed to be on the brink of falling in love when circumstances required them to part but they made hasty plans to meet again. Rotten Tomatoes gave it 100% on the critic's evaluation and 93% from audiences. It has received several nominations from smaller film societies and foreign countries but was not recognized by an Oscar nomination nor a Golden Globe.

13. In the film, "Sons of the Desert", Stan says to Ollie, "Well if she didn't go to the mountains..." What does he say next?

From Quiz Stan Laurel - "Stan-isms"

Answer: "Then Mohammed would have to come here!"

Stan & Ollie want to go to The Sons of the Desert convention (their fraternal lodge), but Ollie's wife wants a vacation in the mountains. They end up in all kinds of trouble in this movie!

14. Who directed Jessica Lange in her second film appearance, a little number called 'All That Jazz' from 1979?

From Quiz The Film History of Jessica Lange

Answer: Bob Fosse

Bob Fosse, the Oscar-winning director of 'Cabaret', took a chance with the young Jessica Lange in this autobiographical film that also featured the acting talents of Roy Scheider and John Lithgow. The choice paid off as Jessica delivered a sexy performance as Angelique (the angel of death), which helped revitalize her young career after the relatively unsuccessful (critically) 'King Kong'.

15. The 1976 film "Network" was another Best Picture Nominee by Lumet. What famous line does Howard Beale yell in the movie?

From Quiz The Films of Sidney Lumet

Answer: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"

Peter Finch won a posthumous Oscar for his portrayal of suicidal news anchor Howard Beale. He died shortly after making the film.

16. Ladd's "breakthrough" came with "This Gun for Hire"; the movie teamed him with a leading lady who would appear in other Ladd movies. Who was she?

From Quiz Alan Ladd Movies

Answer: Veronica Lake

Lake was perhaps more known for her hairdo than for anything else; her life was tough and her career was short. Ladd is fine as "Raven", a killer on the loose.

17. How many films did the three Lane sisters, Priscilla, Rosemary and Lola, make together?

From Quiz Priscilla Lane

Answer: 4

The three of them appeared in "Four Daughters" in 1938, "Four Wives" and "Daughters Courageous" in 1939, and "Four Mothers" in 1941. Who played the fourth sister, you ask? The eldest Lane sister, stage actress Leota Lane, wasn't approved by Warner Brothers for these films, so Gale Page played the fourth sister in all three of them. Priscilla and Rosemary were also in "Varsity Show" in 1937, and "Swingtime In The Movies" in 1941.

18. Which movie earned Christopher an award back in 1986?

From Quiz Christopher Lambert Movies

Answer: Subway

Lambert was awarded with a Cesar (French equivalent of an Oscar). He gave the award to his brothers, attributing it to his popularity at the time, and not because of his performance.

19. In 'THX-1138', who plays the title role?

From Quiz George Lucas Films

Answer: Robert Duvall

20. In the 1985 film "Return to Oz", which character did Piper Laurie play?

From Quiz The Films of Piper Laurie

Answer: Aunt Em

Six months after the events of "The Wizard of Oz" Dorothy is suffering from depression and is taken to a doctor that specializes in electrotherapy. Another patient helps Dorothy escape and they run away together and fall into a river. Dorothy escapes by climbing onto a chicken coop containing Billina, a chicken. When she wakes the next morning she is back in the land of Oz and the patient that helped her escape turns out to be Princess Ozma.

21. In 2004 Linklater returned to direct "Before Sunset" with the same lead actors in the same roles several years later as in "Before Sunrise"(1995). The story picked up in what European city?

From Quiz The Directors: Richard Linklater

Answer: Paris

"Before Sunset" (2004) found Jesse in Paris on a book tour to promote his novel. Celine, now an environmental consultant, had seen his picture and had read his book and been taken aback as the novel was based on their meeting nine years before. He spotted her but he only had a short time to catch a plane. They exchanged details of their lives and why they never got together as they promised as well as their views on life. Jesse missed his flight. Again high marks from Rotten Tomatoes: 95% critics; 91% audience. It received an Academy Award nomination for screenplay and many independent film groups also praised it.

22. What does Stan say to Mrs. Hardy and Mrs. Laurel to explain how they returned home from Honolulu in the movie "Sons of the Desert"?

From Quiz Stan Laurel - "Stan-isms"

Answer: "We ship-hiked!"

Stan hires a veterinarian to pose as a medical doctor and claim that Ollie needs a sea voyage to Honolulu for his health. Since Mrs. Hardy doesn't like sea voyages, she and Mrs. Laurel will remain at home while Stan is to go with Ollie to look after him. Another funny quote: Ollie: "Now why did you hire a veterinarian?" Stan: "I didn't think his religion would make any difference!" "We ship-hiked" is said when the wives ask how they were able to get home before the rescue ship is due in port.

23. The fellowship consisted of Ned, "The Brothers Grimm", "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and "Hitch". Together they would fight the "War of the Worlds". Heath appears in which movie?

From Quiz Heath Ledger - A Movie Story

Answer: The Brothers Grimm

"The Brothers Grimm" stars Ledger and Matt Damon as the famous duo, noted for their fairytales. In the movie, the two are con men traveling throughout France, when they are called upon to solve a real mystery, the disappearance of young girls from a village. The film was directed by Terry Gilliam of "Monty Python" fame. The other three films all came out in 2005, the same year as "The Brothers Grimm". Year-end box office totals ranked "War of the Worlds" number 4, "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" number 7, and "Hitch" number 10.

24. No villain's career would be complete without playing a James Bond villain. Which one did Christopher Lee masterfully play?

From Quiz Fangs for the Memories - Christopher Lee

Answer: Francisco Scaramanga

'The Man with the Golden Gun' was Roger Moore's second outing as James Bond and his adversary was Francisco Scaramanga. He was identified by his third nipple and the use of his golden gun, which separated into a cigarette lighter, a cigarette case, a cuff link and a pen; all of course made of gold. Scaramanga charged $1,000,000 per hit, because he claimed he only only needed one bullet. He was eventually killed by Bond, ironically by being shot through the heart. His servant was Nick Nack played by actor Herve Villechaize and the theme song was sung by Scottish singer Lulu.

25. In Lumet's "The Verdict" Paul Newman played a burnt out, booze-addled lawyer who wins a medical malpractice case. What famous actor was set to do the role before Newman?

From Quiz The Films of Sidney Lumet

Answer: Robert Redford

Redford was set to do the picture but was canned after he tried to do an end run and get his buddy Sydney Pollack as the director. Directors Arthur Hiller and James Bridges had been signed on to do the picture before Lumet eventually took over.

26. "The Blue Dahlia" was another well-known Ladd movie. To what does the movie title refer?

27. The movie for which he won an award in 1986, was set where?

From Quiz Christopher Lambert Movies

Christopher plays Fred, who meets an assortment of interesting characters, as he attempts to form his own band. He also attempts to win the love of Helena (Isabelle Adjani) whose safe he has just robbed.

28. In 'Star Wars,' Chewbacca was supposedly a 'prisoner transport from Cell Block ______.' What number cell block was he from?

From Quiz George Lucas Films

Answer: 1138

That's 1138, as in 'THX-1138'.

From Quiz The Films of Piper Laurie

Kashma Baba, son of Ali Baba, is a cadet in military school. He gets into trouble with the son of the Caliph and the adventure begins. All three wrong answers were all films from 1952.
