Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What kind of car is the character Lou, played by Rob Corddry, driving when we first meet him?

Answer: Pontiac Trans Am

Lou crashes into the back of his garage, closes the door, and rocks out with the engine still running, leading the guys to think he was trying to commit suicide.

2. What is the song on the radio that Lou sings along with while sitting in his car in the garage?

Answer: '"Home Sweet Home" by Motley Crue

Lou says "No way!", then plays an awesome air-piano on the dashboard, and even flips an air-drumstick while playing airdrums.

3. When Jacob (played by Clark Duke) asks his uncle Adam (played by John Cusack) "What'd you do?", in reference to why Adam's girlfriend left him, what is Adam's response?

Answer: "I didn't do anything."

This is while Adam is carrying his old t.v. up from the basement because his girlfriend took his big-screen. Jacob, in response to finding out Adam's girlfriend moved out, says, "Is that what all the noise was?"

4. Where do the guys offer to take Lou on a weekend getaway to cheer him up?

Answer: Kodiak Valley

They tell him while Lou is in the hospital bed. Kodiak Valley is, of course, a fictitious shangri-la that they used to go to back in the day.

5. What is in the hot tub the first time the guys open it?

Answer: A dead raccoon

The hot tub is not operational, but gets mysteriously fixed while they're reminiscing. The squirrel shows up during the morning after the hot tub party, and Lou promptly vomits on it.

6. What's the guys' term for Jenny Stedmeyer ("the girlfriend that got away")?

Answer: Great White Buffalo

They keep repeating "Great White Buffalo" in a hushed voice, much to the dismay of Jacob who wants to know what it means. To which Jacob replies, "Thanks guys, you've been very helpful."

7. How does Phil, played by Crispin Glover, lose his arm?

Answer: A snowplow rips it off

They, being from the future, know he ends up one-armed, but don't know how he lost it. They keep seeing possible scenarios for the accident, but it doesn't get ripped off until the end. Blaine and his lackeys save the arm on ice and it is reattached. Upon returning to the present, they see that Phil has both arms.

8. The character April, played by Lizzy Caplan, is in town to cover a band for a music magazine. Which band is she there to see?

Answer: Poison

She doesn't really like them, but she got assigned to do the story. It was 1986, and Poison was still up-and-coming.

9. What's the name of the character that repeatedly beats up Lou?

Answer: Blaine

The guys have to do everything that they did in 1986, so not to disturb or change the future. Getting beat up is Lou's duty.
Interesting siden ote: the character of Blaine, who is entirely paranoid about communist infiltrators, is played by Sebastian Stan who himself escaped communist Romania as a youngster.

10. What is the name of Lou's yacht at the end of the movie?

Answer: Violator

"Violator" is Lou's nickname. He must have earned it? If you can afford a mufti-million dollar yacht, you can name it whatever you want!
