Because Max won't budge, Sam is told by his private detective that he's hired to get a guy named Jepson to literally beat Max to death. Sam reluctanly agrees (later on) but Max is tough to beat.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. How long had Max Cady been in prison?

Answer: 8 years

8 years, 4 months and 13 days, to be exact.
2. What does Sam Bowden do for a living?

Answer: lawyer

Sam Bowden was a lawyer--he was on an assignment when he had his run-in with Max Cady.
3. Which Eastern town was it where Sam and Max met?

Answer: Baltimore

Very unfortunate circumstances in which to meet someone. Next question will elaborate.
4. Sam Bowden was walking back to his hotel when he heard someone outside. He decided to go to investigate it--and there was when he met Max Cady. What exactly was going on?

Answer: Max was attacking a girl

Sam heard someone panting and coughing in the back of the hotel. When he went down to investigate it, he saw someone attacking a girl. He went down and fought with the man for a while, and the girl got enough breath to start screaming for the police.

When the police came, Max went completely berserk. He put the girl in the hospital for a month before the police were finally able to apprehend him.
5. The first place Sam sees Max is outside his office building. Where do the two meet again?

Answer: the bowling alley

Max decides to "get a gander" at Sam's family. That's when Sam wonders just what Max is up to.
6. The first one of Max's 'victims' is the Bowden family dog. What did the vet say had been given to her?

Answer: strychnine

I think I spelled that right. :-D Anyway, we hear the dog, Marilyn, barking up a storm for some reason. Then, all of the sudden, she starts to yelp and whine. And then--nothing. Peg, Sam's wife, yells for him and tells him that the dog is having a fit.

They quickly get Marilyn to the vet, but to no avail. The vet told Sam that the dog couldn't have been saved if he were twice as fast. Then he tells him the cause of death: strychnine.
7. Sam decides to warn his wife and daughter about Max. He tells his daughter not to leave the school grounds unless it is with her mother. Well, the next day school lets out and she gets in her mother's car (mom ran to the store for a minute) and - yep you guessed it - she sees Max. She gets upset and gets out of the car and back into the school. We hear footsteps following her, and she panics and runs back outside, which is where Max was the whole time. What happens to her as she's running away from him?

Answer: she gets hit by a car

"I thought the store would only take a minute." Does it ever? Whenever you're in a hurry is the worst time to go anywhere.
8. Now let's jump ahead a little bit. Sam offers Max 10,000 dollars now and 10,000 over the next 2 years to get Max to leave the state. Max proceeds to tell Sam that you can't put a price on 8 years. Because Max won't budge, Sam is told by his private detective that he's hired to get a guy named Jepson to literally beat Max to death. Sam reluctanly agrees (later on) but Max is tough to beat. Because of acting in a way not befitting a lawyer, where does the Bar Association have Sam go for a trial?

Answer: Atlanta

This is when Sam gets an idea. He decides to send the family to a houseboat on the Cape Fear River. He goes to Atlanta for a couple of days and sneaks back home. Of course, Sam knows Max will follow him, and that's when Sam decides to make his move.
9. Now we are at the most suspenseful part of the film. Sam comes back from his trial with the Bar Association, and joins the family on the houseboat. Max follows Sam, but Sam is ready for him. He has with him Officer Kersek, who will assist him in apprehending Max. While they are out in the woods stalking each other, Kersek smacks a bug off his face and, well, that's the end of him. Max has his ears open. He then goes to the houseboat. First he goes to Peg, to make a bargain: her instead of Nancy. No luck. Max goes to Nancy anyhow. In the end of all this, does Sam kill Max?

Answer: No

"We're going to nurse you back to health. You're going to live a long life. You're going back to jail where you belong, until the day you rot!" And there goes my EXTREMELY condensed quiz on this incredible film.
10. Last question: In the 1991 remake of this film, which of these two actors had bit parts?

Answer: both of them

I have not seen the remake, so I don't know who played what. But at any rate, I hope you enjoyed this quiz. This is one of my favorite movies, and I had a lot of fun creating this quiz for you. BYE!
