Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What type of car did Patrick Swayze's character drive throughout the movie?

Answer: Chevrolet Camaro

It was a charcoal gray, third-generation model (1982 - 1992). There were several key scenes of dialog that took place in the car, the most important being Truman and Briar's reconciliation after Truman released Briar from jail.
2. From what state were the "hillbilly" Gates family from?

Answer: Kentucky

You could see the Kentucky tags on Liam Neeson's pickup truck. The Gates family consisted of "three counties of kin" who would be hunting for the murderer of Gerald Gates.
3. Patrick Swayze starred with several other popular actors in the movie. Which actor was not in the movie?

Answer: John Travolta

Liam Neeson played Briar Gates, Bill Paxton played Gerald Gates and Ben Stiller played Lawrence Isabella (Papa John's son). Helen Hunt also starred as Jessie, the wife of Swayze's character. She and Bill Paxton went on to star together in "Twister".
4. In the movie, two of Swayze's character's brothers were murdered. Which one was murdered first?

Answer: Gerald

Gerald died first for spitting on Joey's pants (enraging Joey). Briar died later, also at the hands of Joey, while attempting to avenge his brother's death. Truman was Swayze's character, and Jessie was Truman's wife.
5. What instrument did Jessie (Truman's wife) play and also teach?

Answer: Violin

She played and taught classical violin. Truman's family seemed to become more accepting of his big-city wife once she demonstrated her skills on their fiddle.
6. In what big city did the movie take place?

Answer: Chicago

There were many scenes of city icons including the "El" and the Sears Tower. This provided striking contrast to the scenes of the Gates' home town in rural Kentucky.
7. What was Truman's (Patrick Swayze's) occupation?

Answer: Police Officer

He was one of Chicago's finest. In the first scene of the movie, Truman helped talk one of "his people" holed-up in an apartment into surrendering to the police after killing a man in a bar fight. Apparently his chief value to the police force was that he could better relate to the more rural populace that had migrated into the city.
8. Where did the final scene of the movie take place?

Answer: A cemetery

The cemetery provided a gloomy backdrop to the final battle between Joey and his henchmen, and the Gates clan. Truman and several other Gates clansmen showed off their excellent archery-hunting skills.
9. Did Truman finally kill Joey?

Answer: No

Papa John killed him. Joey set up Papa John's son for murder, making it look like the Truman clan was responsible. When Papa John finally learned this, he shot Joey in front of Truman, ending the feud between the two families.
10. Which actor portrayed Joey, the character that killed both of Truman's brothers?

Answer: Adam Baldwin

Joey was mob-boss Papa John's second in command. He was only supposed to "shake-down" the delivery truck of the company the organization was trying to buy out. However, Gerald Gates, the brother of a Chicago cop, was driving and was determined not to allow that to happen. When Gerald defiantly spat on Joey's pants, it angered him enough to kill Gerald. By doing so, he brought down the wrath of the entire Gates clan upon Papa John's organization with disastrous consequences.

Adam Baldwin got his big break in the 1980 film "My Bodyguard".

Katsulas played Papa John, the mob leader, Stiller played his son Lawrence, and Giamatti was not in the movie.
