Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Sgt. Bilko had a dream of running one of the most sophisticated and illegal gambling operations in the U.S. Army. His dream was in jeopardy when Major Thorn showed up at Fort Baxter. Which comedian/actor played the role of Major Colin Thorn, the man determined to get even with Bilko, in this 1996 comedy?

Answer: Phil Hartman

Phil Hartman played the role of Major Colin Thorn. A fixed boxing match, by Bilko, years earlier resulted in Thorn looking as if he had accepted a bribe. The outcome of the bribe had Thorn shipped off to Greenland. Thorn was determined to get even with Bilko. First Lieutenant Oster and First Lieutenant Monday were sent to Fort Baxter to help Major Thorn uncover any evidence that would suggest that Sgt. Bilko was diverting funds from the Hovertank project. Thorn went as far as sabotaging the Hovertank (the night before a demonstration) and trying to steal Bilko's girl (his fiancée ), Rita. Dan Aykroyd, Chris Rock and Steve Martin also star in this film.
2. Stupid and funny make some of the most enjoyable movies to watch. Which comedian/actor starred as the not so smart, but funny, owner of Globo-Gym, in the 2004 hit "DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story"?

Answer: Ben Stiller

This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Ben Stiller plays the role of White Goodman. White bought out the second mortgage on Average Joe's gym so he could level the gym and build an auxiliary parking structure for his Globo-Gym members. Peter, the owner of Average Joe's, has thirty days to raise $50,000 in order to save the gym. Peter and other members of Average Joe's enter a dodgeball tournament and end up in the finals against White and his team, The Globo-Gym Purple Cobras, with the winner receiving $50,000. Vince Vaughn and Justin Long also star in this film.
3. Which comedian/actor, playing the role of Phil Weston, had his little league soccer team "Kicking & Screaming" in 2005?

Answer: Will Ferrell

Will Ferrell plays the role of Phil Weston. Phil takes over the head coaching job of the Tigers and finds himself competing against his dad, who is first at everything when it comes to competition against Phil. With the help of Mike Ditka, Phil leads the Tigers to the championship game against his dad and the Gladiators.
4. Zack Bradley is a box boy working for Super Club in this 2006 comedy. Which comedian/actor, playing the role of Zack Bradley, is trying desperately to become Employee of the Month?

Answer: Dane Cook

Dane Cook plays the role of Zack Bradley. When Amy, a new employee, joins the Super Club team, Zack cranks up the brown-nosing to its highest level. Zack has heard that Amy slept with the employee of the month at her last job (turns out it was her boyfriend who won it), resulting in the motivation he needs to try and take the title.

The only person standing in his way is Vince. Vince is going for his 18th title in a row, which had never been done at Super Club. Earning number 18 will result in him winning a new car.

A check stand showdown between Zack and Vince will determine the winner.
5. In 1987, which comedian/actor plays the role of the annoying blabber mouth, Del Griffith, who is trying to get Neal Page home for Thanksgiving by way of "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"?

Answer: John Candy

John Candy plays the role of Del Griffith. As far as Neal is concerned, Del is a man who has senseless comments that never have a point. Their journey from New York to Chicago will lead Neal home for Thanksgiving. Steve Martin plays the role of Neal Page.
6. Kevin and Marcus Copeland take the place of the Wilson sisters in this 2004 comedy. Kevin is disguised as Brittany Wilson and wants to hook up with Denise. Marcus is disguised as Tiffany Wilson and just wants to get away from Latrell, the pro basketball player who is obsessed with "White Chicks". Which comedian/actor, playing the role of Latrell, is upset to find out that the person he took a bullet for, at the end of the movie, is not white?

Answer: Terry Crews

Terry Crews plays the role of Latrell. Latrell is a rich African American basketball player who is hooked on white chicks. Marcus, disguised as Tiffany Wilson, catches Latrell's attention and Latrell goes as far as taking a bullet for her (though at the time, he doesn't know that she is really a he).

After taking the bullet, Latrell is more upset about the color of the skin than he is about it being a man in disguise. Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans also star in this film.
7. Doug, Dudley, Woody and Bobby hop on their motorcycles and take a road trip to California in this 2007 comedy. Doug is a dentist and a family man. Dudley is a computer programmer who is too shy to approach women. Woody is a lawyer who is about to lose everything thanks to his wife wanting a divorce. Bobby completes the gang known as the "Wild Hogs". Which comedian/actor plays the role of Bobby, the plumber with a very controlling wife?

Answer: Martin Lawrence

Martin Lawrence plays the role of Bobby. Bobby is a stay at home dad who makes a deal with his wife that allows him take a year off work to write a book. The year is up, so Bobby's wife arranges for him to get his old job back at The Firm. It turns out that his old job is in the plumbing division of The Firm. Woody wants the four to take a road trip to California but Bobby is afraid to ask his wife. Bobby ends up lying to his wife, telling her he is going to a seminar in Cleveland, in order to go on the trip.

The four take the trip and Bobby's wife finds out about the lie (meeting up with him in Madrid, New Mexico), resulting in Bobby verbaly lashing out at his wife for the way she is so controlling. She apologizes, allowing Bobby to continue the trip. Tim Allen is also in the movie, playing the role of Doug.
8. Jack Brown is looking for work in this 1982 comedy. Eric Bates is a snot nosed rich kid and son of wealthy businessman, U.S. Bates. Eric convinces his daddy to hire Jack Brown as The Toy. The role of U.S. Bates is played by which comedian/actor?

Answer: Jackie Gleason

Jackie Gleason plays the role of U.S. Bates. His son Eric is home from military school and has no one to play with. Being told he could have anything in the department store owned by his daddy, Eric decides he wants Jack, who is working in the store, and at that time, is trying to save a Wonder Wheel toy. Eric tells the employees of his daddy to wrap him up, and after offering enough money to Jack, they do. U.S. Bates feeels that anyone will do anything for the right price, and in the case of Jack, he is right. Richard Pryor plays the role of Jack Brown.
9. Jerry, Tom, Dan and Billy are the best of friends growing up. Adulthood will send the four in different directions.

Answer: Seth Green

Seth Green plays the role of Dan. While fishing during their adventure, a grizzly bear approaches the three young men. Dan trips and falls while running from the bear. Tom and Jerry yell at him to "assume the fetal position". Dan assumes the position, only to be carried off by the bear, as the bear thinks that Dan is one of her cubs. Dan later escapes the bear and the three friends hide and sleep in a tree.

They wake up to find that the bear has destroyed their camp and their map.
