Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Luke digs it out again.

After Luke dug it out this time, Boss Paul comes back and wonders why the dirt is still in his yard. Luke gets sassy and Boss Paul hits Luke, knocking him into the grave sized ditch. At this time Luke begs not to be hit anymore. Luke claims his mind is right.

He promises not to backslide or backsass anymore because his mind is right. Boss Paul tells him if he escapes again they will kill him. Luke promises him he won't run again. The captain then orders Luke to get cleaned up and get some rest.

2. With his mind now right, Luke is returned to the barracks. What was the reaction of the other cons?

Answer: They turned their backs on him.

Luke had always been defiant but the beatings and hard work were too much. Luke had to withstand a lot of abuse and now it appeared that the authorities broke his spirit. The other cons now acted as Luke was a traitor for giving in. They separated themselves from him.

Answer: He stole a road gang dump truck.

Dragline jumped on the running board of the truck and went with him. Boss Godfrey fired his rifle but Luke raised the dumper to block the bullets. Luke had earned the trust of the bosses so much that he stole the keys to all the other vehicles so they could not pursue him.

Answer: Into a nearby church.

Inside the church Luke had a talk with God. Luke had a problem understanding why God had never given him any breaks in life.

Answer: "What we got here is a failure to communicate."

Luke was then shot by Boss Godfrey. This confirms what Boss Paul had told him what would happen if he escaped again.

6. What did Dragline then do to Boss Godfrey?

Answer: He choked him.

Dragline brought the seriously wounded Luke out of the church and attacked Boss Godfrey, choking him and knocking off his signature reflecting sunglases.

7. How are Boss Godfrey's sunglasses broken?

Answer: They are run over by the vehicle carrying Luke.

This is the first time that Boss Godfrey is shown without his sungalsses. The movie had many shots and angles of Boss Godfrey's sunglasses, which gave him a cold and ruthless appearance. They gave him an image which struck fear into the inmates.

Answer: It was over an hour away.

Although Luke's death is never shown, when the car pulled away and ran over Boss Godfrey's sunglasses, a red flashing light is then shown. It is here that the viewer can presume Luke died.

9. The last scene shows the gang working near the area where Luke died. Dragline, wearing legchains, tells the other cons about the incident. What did he say Luke was like when he died.

Answer: Luke had a smile on his face.

Dragline was bragging about Luke, but never saw him after Luke was placed in the car. The movie then replayed all the scenes with Luke smiling.

10. How did Dragline then describe Luke to the other cons?

Answer: "He was a good ol' boy; a natural born world shaker."

Dragline always had the attention of the other inmates and could create a hero image of Luke. Luke was a free thinker who could not comply with society or authority. He was looking for something from God and the movie was full of innuendos about religion.
