Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: The Lion King

It was the cowardly lion who was looking for courage, and lions are predominantly featured in "The Lion King". Part of the staff of "The Lion King" went to Kenya to study the movements of animals, which explains how realistic their movements were. The movie inspired a stage show, several other films and a TV show.

Answer: Coming to America

In "Coming to America", there are not too many scenes that take place in Africa, but Akeem's home country is mentioned many times in the movie. "Coming to America" is especially enjoyable because we get to see both Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall playing at least three other characters each. Arsenio even plays a woman in the film.

Answer: Good Burger

In the story, Keenan's character has to pay for damage he did to his teacher's car, and that's why he took the job. The Good Burger store is in competition with Mondo Burger, and Ed's sauce helps Good Burger stay in business.
The movie tried to capitalize on the popularity of stars Keenan and Kel, but it wasn't really a blockbuster. It was filmed in a real restaurant, which has since been closed - although rival Mondo Burger still exists across the street.

Answer: Fried Green Tomatoes

In "Fried Green Tomatoes", Ninny tells Evelyn a story. Part of the story talks about Ruth, who was abused by her husband, Frank. Ruth leaves Frank and goes to live with her friend Idgy, who works at a cafe. When Frank tries to run off with his and Ruth's son, one of Idgy's servants protects the baby and kills Frank.
Although the movie never comes out and specifically says that the gang barbecued Frank Bennett to flavor that famous sauce, it is strongly implied.

Answer: Cocoon

In the movie, the men are friends and they break into the yard of an unoccupied home to use the swimming pool. One day, the pool is full of mysterious pods, but the men swim anyway. After that, the men suddenly feel and act younger. They find out the pods were placed in the pool by aliens, who have infused the pool with a life force.

When the pods die, the aliens give three of the men and their wives a chance to go into space - and live as young men, forever. This movie inspired a heartwarming sequel called "Cocoon: the Return", where those who went into space return to Earth for a visit.

6. The main characters of this 1995 movie, which starred Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise and Kevin Bacon, are all real men who became famous in 1970 for going into space. Which movie is it?

Answer: Apollo 13

"Apollo 13" tells the tale of a USA moon launch that is cut short by an on-board explosion. The production team enlisted NASA's help to be sure they got technical details correct, for the movie. Three of the male stars went to US Space Camp to research their roles.

Answer: Forrest Gump

According to this movie, Forrest inspires Elvis' hip shaking, the Smiley Face T-shirt, and even helps John Lennon with lyrics to "Imagine". Forrest fights in Vietnam, and makes some very important friends, who figure in later scenes of the movie. Tom Hanks received a well-deserved Oscar for his performance of the leading role.

Answer: Dave

Kevin Kline ably played Dave. Dave owns a temp agency,and is talented at finding people jobs. He also looks a lot like the president. Some of the men in the government are looking for a man to pretend to be the president for a photo-op. When the real president becomes ill, Dave is asked to keep on pretending to be the president. Dave starts out pretending, but ends up caring about the nation's political process.

The set used for the Oval Office in this movie has been re-used at least 25 times in movies and TV.

9. In this movie, Charles Grodin stars as a father whose family has a very large St. Bernard dog. What's the 1992 movie (and the dog's) "musical" name?

Answer: Beethoven

Beethoven is stolen from a pet store, and escapes into the home of the Newton family. In this movie and its sequel, Grodin plays the father of the family. He doesn't like Beethoven at first, but he watches as his family comes to love the big dog - and then comes to love him, too. This movie inspired numerous sequels and a TV show.

Answer: a brain

At the end, when the characters bring the Wicked Witch's broom to the Wizard, as he had requested, he first refuses to grant them their wishes. After Dorothy and her friends find out the Wizard is just "the man behind the curtain", he gives each of them something that represents their wishes.

As for Dorothy, all she has to do is click her heels together and her ruby slippers take her home, to Kansas.
