Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which movie is this quote from: "Fellas, last year I made three million dollars, but your fifty thousand was the most fun."?

Answer: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

A hilarious film starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin as crooks working their way through the rich women of the French Riviera. This line comes from Janet, played by Glenne Headly, who managed to out-con the con artists!

2. Which movie contains the line, "Gotta get my boxer shorts at K-Mart."?

Answer: Rain Man

This film won the Oscar for Best Picture. Dustin Hoffman also took home a statue for his role as Raymond, and Barry Levinson received the award for Best Director. This line is said by Raymond, Hoffman's character, during an argument about which store he and his brother, Charlie should visit in order to buy underwear.

3. In which film does someone stats, "We're going to die, and I'm wearing my mother's underwear."?

Answer: Grease 2

A film that is probably most famous for being an unfortunate blip in the career of Michelle Pfeiffer! It also starred Lorna Luft, who is the half sister of Liza Minnelli, and the daughter of Judy Garland. This line is spoken by Sharon, played by Maureen Teefy, (who also starred in "Supergirl").

It is spoken during a car chase scene, in which the Pink Ladies are trying to save Stephanie's (Pfeiffer's) mystery man, played by Maxwell Caulfield.

4. Which movie is this quote from, "I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose."?

Answer: National Lampoon's Vacation

The first in a series of films about the Griswald family, headed up by dad, Clark. This quote, from Clark, played by Chevy Chase, refers to their trip across country to go to Wally World, which ultimately ends in disaster as they realise the theme park is closed.

7. In which film is someone told, "That's the Chicago way."?

Answer: The Untouchables

"They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way, and that's how you get Capone." This quote comes from Sean Connery's character, Malone, as he is giving Ness, played by Kevin Coster, a motivational speech. One of my favourite lines and films from the 1980s!

8. "Oh, but baby fish mouth is sweeping the nation," is a line from which romantic comedy?

Answer: When Harry Met Sally

This line follows a rather heated round of Pictionary. This line is spoken by Harry, played by Billy Crystal, as Jess, played by Bruno Kirby, refuses to believe that "Baby Talk" is a saying!

9. Which movie contains the line, "You know if it wasn't for this man, I'd be standing here dead."?
