Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Our adventure opens up onto an airfield. The main character is gearing up for a test flight in his newly completed plane. What is the number on the side of this airplane?

Answer: 4

The beginning of the movie shows the airplane being taken out of the hangar, and you are able to see the number '4' on the side as it is being brought to the runway.

Answer: a lousy nickel nurser

Bigelow blames Cliff and Peevy for ruining his airfield when the plane went down, and wants money from them. Cliff calls him a "lousy nickel nurser" because he knows Bigelow doesn't really need the money from them, he's just being cheap.

3. Whose duffel bag does Cliff find the rocket in?

Answer: Peevy's

When Wilmer is running from the FBI, he goes into one of the airplane hangars to hide the rocket. He puts it in Peevy's duffel bag and hides it under the seat of one of the airplanes. After Cliff and Peevy agree to do the clown act, Cliff gets in the airplane that Wilmer hid the rocket in to test it out and feels it under the seat.

4. When Sinclair calls his German giant of a goonie to ask him to get information about the rocket, he is listening to an aria from a famous opera. What is name of the opera?

Answer: The Magic Flute

The aria is being sung by the Queen of the Night, who is a character in "The Magic Flute." Papageno is another character, and "La Boheme" is a completely different opera. Lothar is listening to "The Magic Flute" before the phone rings.

5. What is the name of this German giant of a goon?

Answer: Lothar

Lothar rarely speaks, if at all, throughout the movie, but he does have quite the sinister laugh. You can hear Sinclair say his name when he calls him on the telephone.

Answer: Rocketting into the Future

The cover of the folder is from the New York World's Fair, featuring Howard Hughes's rocket packs. The title is found on the side of the cover in cursive writing.

7. When Cliff comes home from a 'not-so-successful' date with Jenny, he talks to Peevy about it. He mentions that Peevy has not had a date since _____. When was this date?

Answer: 1932

Peevy tells Cliff that if Jenny flies the coop it will be Cliff's fault. Cliff gets mad and says, "What do you know about women Peev? You haven't had a date since 1932."

8. This date that Peevy hasn't had in a long time was with whom?

Answer: Flora Maxwell

"Flora Maxwell, there was no point in datin' nobody after her." Peevy says this to himself after Cliff leaves the room.

Answer: Laughing Bandit

We see this scene done twice. The Laughing bandit and his foe are sword fighting on a staircase when we hear this line. The Laughing Bandit then says, "Why wait?" and reveals himself.

Answer: Land

Hollywood used to be called Hollywood Land. When Neville crashes into 'Land' and knocks it down, it then just becomes Hollywood.
