Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The bad guy in this cult classic is a transvestite named Frank N. Furter. He is easy to like and the good guys lack his style. Which cult classic am I talking about?

Answer: The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Tim Curry stars as Frank in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" (1975). Curry, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick still get quite a bit of work. Meat Loaf plays Eddie.

Answer: Clancy Brown

Clancy Brown plays Victor Kruger/The Kurgan in "The Highlander" (1986). Clancy Brown also does the voice of Mr. Krabs for the cartoon "SpongeBob SquarePants".

3. "You can't handle the truth!" is a very famous line spoken by Jack Nicholson in which movie?

Answer: A Few Good Men

Jack plays Colonel Nathan Jessep in "A Few Good Men" (1992). He stars alongside Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland and Kevin Pollak in the drama. The quote in the question is yelled by Jessep in the courtroom scene in response to Tom Cruise's character's cross examination.

4. If you've seen "The Professional" or "Leon", you already know that the cops aren't always the good guys. That, however, didn't stop me from liking Agent Norman Stansfield. Who played him?

Answer: Gary Oldman

This movie ran as "The Professional" (1994) in the USA and "Leon" in the UK. Jean Reno does a great job as a lonely hitman and a young Natalie Portman is adorable as Mathilda. Gary Oldman steals the show, as usual, with his over the top Agent Stansfield.

5. Even the people taken hostage by him take sides with the bank robber. But who couldn't love him? Sonny is played by one of the best actors of our time. Who am I talking about?

Answer: Al Pacino

Al Pacino plays Sonny Wortzik, a very disturbed, but loveable bank robber in the 1975 movie, "Dog Day Afternoon". He was only robbing the bank to get enough money to pay for an operation for his gay lover. Pacino does a wonderful job with this role.

6. The bad guys in "The Big Lebowski" had an unusual belief system. What was their deal?

Answer: they were nihilists

They were nihilists. They believed in nothing. As The Dude said, "That must be exhausting". Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers plays one of the nihilists.

7. In "The Usual Suspects" I like ALL of the bad guys. Which character actually turns out to be Keyser Soze?

Answer: Viggo Mortensen

I thought Christopher Walken was also scary as Gabriel. Eric Stoltz played Simon and he was a little bit creepy too.

Answer: Annie Wilkes

Kathy Bates does a fantastic job as Annie Wilkes in an adaptation of Stephen King's "Misery" (1990). She won an Academy Award for her performance. Bates also played Dolores Claiborne in the 1995 movie of the same title that was also written by Stepehn King.

10. Although Alex is the protagonist, he is certainly a bad guy. Yet, I feel for him when they try to rehabilitate him. What movie am I talking about?

11. In the movie "The Ref" this comedian carjacks the husband and wife and ends up saving their marriage. Who plays the bad guy?

Answer: Denis Leary

"The Ref" (1994) is an underrated comedy starring Denis Leary, Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis. Denis Leary is great in it.

12. He usually plays a good guy, but Robin Williams was really creepy in "One Hour Photo". What was the name of his character?

Apollo Creed was Rocky's opponent in "Rocky" (1976) and "Rocky II" (1979). Clubber Lang was played by Mr T. in "Rocky III" (1982). Tommy Gunn is the name of the boxer in "Rocky V" (1990).

Answer: True

He hires Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) under the name Louis Cyphre, but he turns out to be the devil.
