Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which actor portrays Mitch Preston?

Answer: Robert De Niro

Robert De Niro has been nominated for several Best Actor Golden Globe Awards. Mitch is a tough detective who has been on the force for years. When his partner is shot during a drug bust that goes wrong, he shoots a camera because the cameraman would not turn it off. Because of this he has to do a reality show or face a $10 million lawsuit.
2. Which actor portrays Trey Sellars?

Answer: Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy began doing stand up comedy when he was 15 years old, earning $25 to $50 a show. Trey is a patrolman who is just waiting for his break as an actor. His chance comes when the network is looking for someone to play opposite Mitch in the reality show. Trey gives Mitch tips on acting and Mitch teaches Trey about police work.
3. What is Mitch buying, while undercover, at the beginning of the film?

Answer: Drugs

The bust goes bad when Trey calls for backup, not knowing that Mitch is an undercover cop.
4. Why is there a lawsuit filed against the department?

Answer: Mitch shot one of the network's cameras

When the drug bust at the beginning of the film is botched up, Mitch's partner is shot. Mitch hates cameras and asked the cameraman to turn off the camera. The cameraman does not do so, so Mitch shoots the camera.
5. How did Trey audition for the show?

Answer: Arranged a fake purse snatching

After Mitch finds out the whole thing was staged, he and Trey exchange a few words. After trading insults Mitch walks off saying he would never work with Trey. Chase then decides Trey is just the cop to play opposite Mitch.
6. What does Chase Renzi decide to name the show?

Answer: Showtime

She gets the idea after Trey says that before a big bust he takes three deep breaths and says, "It's Showtime".
7. What is Mitch's new dog's name?

Answer: Powder

Chase decided to get Mitch a dog, so the audience will like him more. The dog is a retired drug dog, which is why his name is Powder. Mitch instantly dislikes the dog and Trey tries talking him into keeping Powder. When Trey starts making very annoying sounds at Powder, the dog growls. After this Mitch says, "I like his instincts", and decides to keep him.
8. Who plays TJ Hooker?

Answer: William Shatner

William Shatner plays an actor who was on the cop show "T.J. Hooker". He is in charge of teaching Mitch and Trey how to be good TV cops. Shatner was also in "Miss Congeniality" and the original "Star Trek".
9. How do Mitch and Trey sneak a gun into the room that Chase is being held hostage in?

Answer: A Videocamera

Mitch and Trey track down the bad guys to a gun show. While they are looking for them, Chase shows a picture of Varges. When Varges is spotted he takes Chase into a room and holds her hostage. Mitch and Trey have to push their guns under the door but Trey has a back-up that is very small. Trey and Mitch decide to put the gun into the tape spot in a camera.

They then talk Vargas into letting them bring in the camera. This is the first time they really worked as partners, without fighting or second guessing each other.
10. What does Mitch make for Trey at the end of the movie?

Answer: A loose change dish

Mitch had taken up pottery while in the middle of his divorce, but wasn't very good at it. He made him the dish as a present for passing the detective's exam. They are now partners and Mitch is dating Chase. Mitch and Trey no longer are followed by video cameras while on the job, because "Showtime" now has two new buddy cops... two females.
