"Mrs. Doubtfire" Movie Trivia Quiz

Answer: Dick Van Dyke

"But we always watch Dick Van Dyke..." argues Daniel's daughter. This precedes all three children doing manual labor around the house while Mrs. Doubtfire enjoys iced tea on the sofa. The kids then surrender and agree to do homework. A scene from "Dick Van Dyke" about wigs is seen on the television first, then they tell what the show is.

Answer: hot flashes

This is in the scene where Daniel must make a home-cooked meal for the family on the first day on the job. He burns the meal badly (along with his body suit) and ends up ordering take-out from a fancy restaurant, putting it on a plate to make it look as if he'd made it himself.

Answer: Newspaper headline

Daniel sits on his bed, phone in hand, playing his wife like a fiddle with his flawless acting and accent...then his wife asks for his name. Oops! Lucky there is a newspaper on the bedside table, headline quoting "...Doubt fire was accident.."

Answer: "Whaling"

"I'd be reenacting the Titanic"... is among the funny lines Mrs. Doubtfire delivers while Stu tries to get her to join them for a swim, but is not what is mentioned to be "outlawed". "Isn't there enough flesh to feast your eyes on..." is the other defense she makes. The family finally lets Mrs. Doubtfire alone and she takes to the bar for a beer.

Answer: Scotch

Wearing that bright red blazer, which he changes in and out of in exchange for a dress suitable for an elderly woman, Daniel fakes liking Scotch to impress Lundi. This leads to drunkeness and his self-destructive unveiling later.

Answer: Cayenne Pepper

Stu states while ordering the meal that he was allergic to pepper. Daniel is on his way back from re-dressing and notices his family's order waiting in the kitchen. He takes advantage of the situation, grabs the cayenne and spices up Stu's plate. This leads to him performing the Heimlich maneuver on Stu and eventually Daniel's unveiling.

Answer: Dentures

"...Carpe Dintem, seize the teeth!" At this point in the scene, Daniel/Mrs.Doubtfire is intoxicated from drinking Scotches with Mr. Lundi, and drops his dentures in his wine glass. He fishes them out with a fork, and "shakes them like a dog".

Answer: "If you wanted some cheese why didn't you just say so?"

This is the scene when Daniel is first getting settled into the apartment, and everything is a mess. Mrs. Sellner inspects carefully while Daniel frantically tries to undress from his costume, and Daniel breaks the tension with some comic relief about the mouse trap. "If you wanted some cheese why didn't you just say so?" Mrs. Sellner is shocked and doesn't respond to Daniel, which is typical of her dry personality.

Answer: the fish tank

The kids demand to watch television when Mrs. Doubtfire brings up homework, but she takes the remote. She then tosses it behind her without even looking and it lands in the fish tank. "From now on all you will be watching is deep CNN".
(I wonder how many times they had to do that scene before he made it!)

Answer: a soccer ball

Gathered from the park scene and the excitement shown by Chris when Mrs. Doubtfire mentions that she plays soccer, Chris loves that particular sport. The background of the cake is green icing, like grass, and the centerpiece is a soccer ball, which the sugar-riddled pony indulges in.
