Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The movie "The Breakfast Club" is set around what event?

Question by Ravenloft

2. Claire and John Bender are representations of whom?

Answer: the princess and the criminal

John Bender is a messed up kid from a messed up family. He fights against authority at every opportunity. Claire is spending the day in detention for skipping school and going shopping with her popular friends.

Question by Badangel200688

Answer: Allison

I would imagine that lunch was a sugary and crunchy mess. Interestingly enough, in the scene where Allison shakes the dandruff from her hair to create snow on her drawing, that was done by putting Parmesan cheese in her hair.

4. Each of the members of The Breakfast Club are in attendance because they had committed a variety of different infractions. Which of the following circumstances is NOT accurate?

Answer: Allison was caught smoking and stealing on school grounds.

Allison isn't actually supposed to be in detention. It is revealed in the film that she was there simply because she was bored and didn't have anything better to do that day, thus solidifying her as the oddball of the group.

5. John Hughes has a cameo in "The Breakfast Club".

Answer: True

He appears as Brian's father at the end of the movie when the characters are being picked up by their parents. In addition, the film was shot in part at Glenbrook North High School, which was the high school that John Hughes actually attended.

Answer: I Want To Be an Airborne Ranger

This is a classic American Army Cadence song. It is quite hilarious as Bender runs down the halls shouting this song while a mystified Principal Vernon tries to follow the sound of his voice and track him down. He also sings a few lines from "Turning Japanese" by The Vapors, but most of the time he enjoys his cadence.

7. In the opening scenes, a character is shown as the winner of the "Man of the Year" award. Who is pictured as the recipient of the award?

Answer: Carl the janitor

The wrestling coach and John Bender's father are never shown in the movie. A quick shot of three past winners on a wall are shown, with Carl's picture in the middle.

Answer: Chicago White Sox

The White Sox jersey can be seen while Karl, who was played by John Kapelos, is talking in the basement with Principal Richard Vernon, played by Paul Gleason. Karl had walked in on Vernon as he was going through the confidential filing cabinet.

Question by Illini43.

10. What kind of gun was Brian caught with in his locker?

Answer: Flare gun

While talking about why they had to be in detention, Brian tells the group he was going to get a B in a class which would ruin everything. Anthony Michael Hall, who plays Brian Johnson, then tells the group he was thinking of using a gun on himself, but the flare gun went off in his locker.
