Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What kind of fish is Wanda?

Answer: Angel Fish

Although Ken names all of his fish, Wanda is the one he seems to love the best. It is never made clear why Ken likes Wanda the best, although you can infer that it is because she is the most beautiful fish in the tank, as Wanda is the most beautiful woman in his life.
2. Which language does Archie not speak in the movie?

Answer: Swedish

Interestingly Wanda (the woman) is turned on by foreign languages. When Wanda is trying to get the location of the stolen diamonds from Archie she asks if he speaks Italian. He replies he is Italian and proceeds to speak Italian and then switches to Russian because he thinks Italian is not a beautiful language.
3. What is the name of Archie and Wendy's daughter?

Answer: Portia

We hear her name when they are talking about her "need" for a new horse, and when talking about a new nose for her. When Otto hears what her name is he wonders why they named her after a car.
4. Which actor won an Oscar for their performance in this film?

Answer: Kevin Kline

He won for best supporting actor in 1988, over Alec Guinness, Martin Landau, River Phoenix, and Dean Stockwell. He has also won two Tony awards for "On the Twentieth Century" in 1978, and for "The Pirates of Penzance" in 1981.
5. What is the tagline for this movie?

Answer: A tale of murder, lust, greed, revenge, and seafood.

"Don't pet them." is the tagline for "Fierce Creatures", "A comedy that goes to your head." is from "Homegrown", and "Don't be cruel to animals." is one I made up. Overall, the tagline for this movie is a great summary of the plot. There is the murder of dogs, lust for a woman by at least three men (I suspect Ken also lusts for Wanda, but there is no viable proof), greed for the wealth of the stolen diamonds, revenge against those who double and triple cross their partners, and finally seafood, when Otto eats Ken's fish to get information from him.
6. When does Ken lose his stutter?

Answer: After running Otto over with a roller

Like most people who stutter, Ken stutters less when around people he trusts and feels comfortable around, like Wanda and George. They also stutter less when they are extrememly happy. Ken also stops stuttering afer Wanda kisses him.
7. Who is the masked man that uses the crossbow in the heist?

Answer: Otto

Kevin Kline actually performed this stunt and it only took him two takes. The main reasons George hires Otto are that Wanda vouches for him as her brother, and he needs a "reliable" and accurate trigger man.
8. Which is not a way in which Mrs. Coady loses one of her dogs?

Answer: Shot with a rifle

Mrs. Coady finally died from heart failure after her last dog was killed by Ken. Ken is sent by George to kill Mrs. Coady as she is the only eyewitness who can identify him as being near the scene of the crime. Ken's attempts at her life fail one after the other, but he manages to kill her beloved dogs. This hits Ken hard too, as he is a true animal lover.
9. George trusts Otto.

Answer: False

George trusts very few people, Wanda, Ken, and Bartlett. He suspects Otto from the very beginning of turning him into the police. This is most apparent when Wanda first visits him and Otto tags along.
10. Archie Leach is the real life name for which famous actor?

Answer: Cary Grant

Thanks to imdb.com for this tidbit. Humphrey Bogart was born Humphrey DeForest Bogart, James Cagney was born James Francis Cagney, and James Stewart was born James Maitland Stewart. Cary Grant's full birth name is Archibald Alexander Leach, and he performed a few times as Archibald Leach.
