Death in Movies Trivia Questions

1. In the movie "Ghost", how did Sam die?

From Quiz
How Did They Die?

Answer: murdered by Willie Lopez

"Ghost" came out in 1990. In the movie, Sam (Patrick Swayze) was out walking with Molly (Demi Moore). Sam was killed by Willie Lopez (Rick Aviles) for the password to an account that contained a lot of money. His ghost remained on Earth however because he needed to save Molly from the same fate.

2. The title of which 1949 film referred to an unknown witness to the death of Harry Lime?

From Quiz To Die or Not to Die

Answer: The Third Man

It was post-war Vienna, and Harry Lime (Orson Welles) was under investigation for black marketeering, when he was hit by a car while crossing a street. His friend, Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten), found a witness who saw a third man at the scene, which conflicted with the official account of the accident, so he searched for the third man and found Harry Lime had staged his death and was still alive - well, at least for a little while longer. With a screenplay written by Graham Greene, the film won the BAFTA for best film and the Cannes Grand Prix for director Carol Reed.

3. Samuel L. Jackson was born in Washington, D.C. on December 21, 1948. He is a big fan of basketball and loves golfing. He has appeared and had his character die in many of them. Which movie listed below does his character not die?

From Quiz Night of the Dead Characters

Answer: "Pulp Fiction" (1994)

"Deep Blue Sea" is about genetically-altered sharks. Jackson's character gives a rousing speech about living and then he is suddenly eaten by one of the sharks. "Jurassic Park" is about an island with dinosaurs on it. His character is killed by the dinosaurs. "Goodfellas" is an organized crime movie. He's offed this time for forgetting to get rid of a getaway vehicle from a robbery. "Pulp Fiction" tells multiple intertwining stories. His partner dies but he makes it.

4. In 2003's 'Kill Bill Volume 1' and 2004's 'Kill Bill Volume 2', what was the name of the assassination group Beatrix Kiddo used to belong to?

From Quiz I See Dead People

Answer: Deadly Viper Assassination Squad

Each member of the group was aptly codenamed after a different snake, except Bill who was the Snake Charmer. Beatrix was known as the Black Mamba, appropriate since virtually all who crossed her died a bloody death. She sought revenge against her former colleagues from the squad who gatecrashed her wedding, killed everyone and left her comatose for four years. Her desire to 'Kill Bill' was most potent, however; he as a former lover spurned was behind the gatecrashing.

5. (1992) He came to England and turned their friend into one of the living dead. They have called him a monster, and are determined to kill him, pursuing him all the way back to his native Transylvania to accomplish the task.

From Quiz Dying to Be a Star 4

6. In which "Star Wars" film does Obi-Wan Kenobi die?

From Quiz Deaths In Movies

7. Hero: Nicole Kidman as a prostitute named Satine, who dies of tuberculosis. Which movie is this?

From Quiz Simply to Die For

Answer: Moulin Rouge!

"Moulin Rouge!" came out in 2001, directed by Baz Luhrmann. It also starred Ewan McGregor. It was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, and Kidman was nominated for Best Actress. The Moulin Rouge was an actual brothel in the 1900s, and it still exists as a museum today.

8. In this 1991 comedy, two time-travelling teenagers are murdered, travel through Heaven and Hell, and eventually are restored to life with some divine intervention. What is this wacky movie?

From Quiz Exploring the Hereafter: The Afterlife in Film

Answer: Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey

The sequel to 1989's "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure", its tagline is, "Once, they made history. Now, they are history!" Early in the film, the two titular protagonists are murdered by robots sent from the future that look like themselves, whom they mistake for their future selves. This film is particularly notable for a hilarious scene in which Bill and Ted challenge Death to a contest that parodies the chess match in "The Seventh Seal". Even though Death claims that he has never been defeated, he loses a series of games including Battleship, Clue, and Twister, before finally conceding defeat and agreeing to help them return to life, which they do with some help from God himself. After being resurrected, they are able to defeat the robot impostors and overcome the time-traveling villain who resents the influence of their music on future civilization.

9. This blockbuster of 1998, which proved traumatic to some viewers due to its groundbreaking realism, sees the hero at first convince his followers of the rightness of their cause, then give his life for that cause.

From Quiz A Hero's Death

Answer: Saving Private Ryan

Many theatres warned WW2 veterans before showings of "Saving Private Ryan", and some did leave after seeing the very graphic and realistic opening scene of the D-Day invasion. Hero Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) leads a squad that isn't convinced that the life of one man that they don't know is worth any of their lives. In the end, the mission is completed, but at a terrible cost.

10. If "The Birth of a Nation" is not to your taste, how about another D. W. Griffith movie released four years later? In "Broken Blossoms", how does the heroine, Lucy Barrows, meet her untimely end?

From Quiz What a Way to Go: Death In the Movies

Answer: Beaten to death by her father

"Broken Blossoms" is one of my favorite D. W. Griffith films. Released in 1919, it tells the story of Lucy Barrows, played by Lillian Gish, a young girl living in London who forms a friendship with a Chinese immigrant named Cheng Huan (played by Richard Barthelmess). Lucy is repeatedly abused by her father, a drunken boxer named Battling Barrows. Her father is played by Donald Crisp, who is best remembered for playing the kind father, Gwilym Morgan, in 1941's "How Green Was My Valley". In this film, however, he is one of the worst villains in the history of the cinema. Lucy and the Chinese man form a close, but entirely platonic, friendship. In his apartment, she is able to escape from the brutality of her existence. When her father finds out that she has been spending time with Cheng Huan, he drags her back to his house and begins beating her. She tries to hide in a closet, but her father breaks down the door with a hatchet, and literally beats her to death. Cheng Huan arrives too late to rescue Lucy, and shoots her father with a pistol. He carries her lifeless body home, places her before his shrine to the Buddha, and then kills himself. The closet scene is one of the most moving in the history of motion pictures. Many critics consider "Broken Blossoms" to be one of the finest silent films ever made. Lillian Gish's performance is extraordinary.

11. In "The Lion King", how was Mufasa killed?

From Quiz How Did They Die?

Answer: pushed over a cliff by Scar into a stampede

"The Lion King" came out in 1994. It was the story of Simba (Johnathan Taylor Thomas, Young Simba; Matthew Broderick, Adult Simba) who, believing he killed his father, Mufasa (James Earl Jones), ran away from home. Along the way with the help of Rafiki (Robert Guillaume), he learned that the past hurts but you can't run from it. He returned home and fought Scar (Jeremy Irons) for his rightful place as king of Pride Rock and learned that it was Scar that killed Mufasa, not Simba.

12. Both the main characters in this 1973 Oscar-winning film died, at least for a minute or so. In which film did Henry Gondorff shoot his partner Johnny Hooker before being shot by FBI Agent Polk?

From Quiz To Die or Not to Die

Answer: The Sting

Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman) teamed up with small time conman Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford) to avenge the death of their mutual friend who was killed after he and Hooker pulled a scam on an employee of crime boss Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw). Gondorff and Hooker pulled off an elaborate con on Lonnegan which ended when the FBI raided the gambling salon they had set up. It appeared that Hooker was working with the FBI and when Agent Polk told Hooker he could leave, Gondorff pulled a gun and shot Hooker in the back. Polk then killed Gondorff. After confirming that Hooker was dead, Polk told a police officer to get Lonnegan out of there, but once the two were gone, Hooker and Gondorff came back to life. It turned out that everyone except the officer and Lonnegan were in on the con. "The Sting" won seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director for George Roy Hill and Best Screenplay for David S. Ward.

13. '300', released in 2007, was based on which seemingly futile battle between the Greeks and the Persians?

From Quiz I See Dead People

Answer: Battle of Thermopylae

In the film, King Leonidas led 300 Spartans into battle against Xerxes and his army of over 300,000 men. Although he and the Spartans lost, Leonidas was able to draw blood from the God-like Xerxes and make a great dent in the Persian force through uncompromising tenacity and unwavering bravery. Indeed, in real life, the Greeks lost this battle as in the film... but they did end up winning the war.

14. Dying by having a baby alien eat its way out of your chest cavity is certainly a weird way to go. It happened to a number of people in the 'Alien' movies, but which actor played the character who was the very first to die in this manner?

From Quiz Way to Go! - The Weirdest Deaths in Movies

Answer: John Hurt

British actor John Hurt wouldn't have known it at the time, but he had been given one of the most memorable death scenes in cinematic history when he starred in Ridley Scott's 'Alien' (1979), a Sci-Fi about a spaceship crew who had to deal with a deadly stowaway creature on-board. Hurt would neither have dreamed that he'd play the scene all over again as a parody in Mel Brooks' 'Spaceballs' (1987), where the newborn alien started performing a song and dance routine (itself a parody of a famous 'Bugs Bunny' cartoon that featured a singing frog: 'Hello, my Baby, hello, my Honey, hello, my Ragtime Gal').

15. How does Royal Tenenbaum die in "The Royal Tenenbaums"?

From Quiz A Death is Announced

Answer: Sean Connery

Sean Connery was born in 1930. A Scotsman by birth, he is most famous for his portrayal of fictional spy James Bond from 1962 to 1971 and again in 1983. He also starred in films such as "The Hunt for Red October", "The Name of the Rose", etc. Apart from his acting career, he is a member of the Scottish National Party, which promotes the secession of Scotland from the UK.

18. This romantic fantasy drama of 2008 features the unusual life of a being played by Brad Pitt. Which movie is this, with the tagline, "Life can only be understood backward. It must be lived forward"?

From Quiz A Hero's Death

Answer: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Benjamin Button was born with the age and ailments of an 84-year-old man and got younger during his life, dying as an infant. The tagline is a variant of a quote by the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard: "It is quite true what philosophy says; that life must be understood backwards. But then one forgets the other principle: that it must be lived forwards." I'm not sure that this movie illustrates that principle, but the tagline is somewhat descriptive of the plot, at least.

19. In "Bambi", how did Bambi's mother die?

From Quiz How Did They Die?

Answer: shot by man

"Bambi" was released in 1942. Bambi (Donnie Dunagan/John Sutherland/Bobby Stewart) was born in the spring. Everyone was waiting for his arrival. His mother (Paula Winslowe) and his friends taught him all he needed to know to one day be the Great Prince of the Forest like his father. Sadly, a fire broke out in the forest and as the animals were running for safety, Bambi's mother was shot and killed. Bambi had to grow up alone and learn to survive with the help of his friends and eventually his father, the Great Prince of the Forest (Fred Shields).

20. This 1980 spy comedy was about a veteran CIA agent who had to stay one step ahead of the world's spy agencies after he decided to write his memoirs. In which film did Miles Kendig fake his death in a plane explosion?

From Quiz To Die or Not to Die

Answer: Hopscotch

Field agent Miles Kendig (Walter Matthau) became disenchanted with his job after his boss assigned him to a desk job, so he took leave and headed to Austria where he met up with former spy and love interest, Isobel von Schonenberg (Glenda Jackson). While there, he wrote the first chapter of his memoirs, detailing CIA activities and had Schonenberg mail copies to the heads of the world's main spy agencies. He then headed off to stay one step ahead of the CIA who wanted him dead. A young Sam Waterston played his colleague and friend Joe Cutter, who upon watching Kendig's plane blow up, stated "[he] better stay dead". But of course, he wasn't. The plane was flying via remote control, and Kendig was the one who blew it up. "Hopscotch" was moderately successful at the box office, and Walter Matthau received a Golden Globe nomination for his work.

21. Which horrifying creature was featured in 1978's 'Dawn of the Dead'?

From Quiz I See Dead People

Answer: Zombie

In 'Dawn of the Dead', a mysterious plague caused the reanimation of corpses who would seek to eat human flesh. A small group of human survivors barricaded themselves in a Pennsylvanian shopping mall to try and survive the onslaught. The zombies were depicted as being brutal and savage; however, the psychological sense of being isolated from a potentially disintegrating society may have been more frightening.

22. James Bond's arch enemy, Ernst Blofeld, was finally eliminated in the movie 'For Your Eyes Only'. In what very weird way did he (still seated in his wheelchair) meet his end?

From Quiz Way to Go! - The Weirdest Deaths in Movies

Answer: Dropped into an industrial chimney stack from a helicopter

They say that when you die you see a long dark tunnel, so Blofeld must have experienced this twice. In a scene more befitting a parody, James Bond had collected Blofeld and his wheelchair on the landing skid of a helicopter and gave him a ride before dropping him down the mouth of a rather tall chimney stack. This occurred as the opening sequence in 1981's 'For Your Eyes Only', the twelfth film in the official 'Bond' franchise, which was about Bond's attempt to recover an encryption device and prevent it from falling into enemy hands. Whilst the Blofeld character did show up again in 1983's 'Never Say Never Again', that movie was not part of the EON Productions franchise, so his appearance doesn't count as a resurrection.

23. (1981) I was an archeologist who was always in competition with Dr. Jones. I was killed, along with my Nazi co-conspirators, when I opened up a religious artifact to find out what was inside. Which movie was this?

From Quiz Dying to Be a Star, Part 9

Answer: Raiders of the Lost Ark

Dr. Rene Belloq, played by Paul Freeman, and Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford, often managed to be seeking the same artifact at the same time. Driven by greed and the desire for power, Belloq saw the Ark as being a direct link to God. He aligned himself with the Nazis and had the manpower to steal the Ark of the Covenant from Jones, who was able to find it first. In a religious ceremony Belloq opened the Ark before turning it over to Hitler, using the excuse that they needed to make sure it was real first, so as not to disappoint the Fuehrer. What emerged from the Ark was at first beautiful, but became terrifying and deadly and all present were killed, except for Jones and his companion, who kept their eyes closed.

24. In which classic movie does the main character die by stabbing the heart of a painting of himself?

From Quiz Deaths In Movies

Answer: The Picture of Dorian Gray

"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is based on the book by Oscar Wilde, which was written in the late 19th Century.

25. Hero: Here's a "Star Wars" death for the sentimental. Liam Neeson as Qui-Gon Jinn, in "Episode 1". Who kills him?

From Quiz Simply to Die For

Answer: Darth Maul

Who could forget the tattooed freak? Played by Ray Park, this villain took Qui-Gon's life only to be killed minutes later by the Jedi's protegee, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

26. "Orpheus", a 1950 French film, is a surreal modern retelling of the classic Greek myth in which the titular hero journeys into the Underworld to retrieve his dead wife Eurydice. Who was the famous French poet who directed this film?

From Quiz Exploring the Hereafter: The Afterlife in Film

Answer: Jean Cocteau

Jean Cocteau was a highly influential avant-garde artist, playwright, and filmmaker. "Orpheus" was adapted from a stage play of the same name that Cocteau wrote and produced in 1926, and the film is the second part of his "Orphic Trilogy". Like the ancient Greek myth it is based on, the protagonist named Orpheus travels into the Underworld to bargain for the life of his wife, Eurydice. However, in a novel twist, the protagonist in the film is involved in a love triangle with a Princess who apparently represents Death and who seems to be responsible for the killing of his wife. While in the underworld, he is interrogated by a tribunal about the death of Eurydice. The tribunal rules that Death claimed Eurydice illegally and they agree to return her to life on the condition that he never look at her again for the rest of his life. This is a harsher condition than in the Greek myth, which required that Orpheus not look back at Eurydice until they had left the Underworld (which condition he fails in the end). Subsequently, Orpheus ends up looking at Eurydice in the mirror of a car and she disappears. Next, Orpheus is killed by a mob and returns to the Underworld. There he declares his love for Death, who decides to die herself that he may become an "immortal poet". Finally, the tribunal decide to return him and his wife back to the world of the living with no memory of what has transpired. (A much kinder fate then befell the Greek Orpheus who had no such luck.) The film is noteworthy for its inventive visual effects, in which mirrors, water, and reversed film are used to portray the Underworld.

27. This 1993 courtroom drama centered on an emerging social issue of the times. Which movie is this, with the tagline, "No one would take on his case... until one man was willing to take on the system"?

From Quiz A Hero's Death

Answer: Philadelphia

"Philadelphia" was the first movie to star both powerhouse actors Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. An interesting credit for the movie reads "This motion picture was inspired in part by Geoffrey Bowers' AIDS discrimination lawsuit, the courage and love of the Angius family and the struggles of the many others who, along with their loved ones, have experienced discrimination because of AIDS."

28. In "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", how did Sirius Black die?

From Quiz How Did They Die?

Answer: killed by Bellatrix Lestrange

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" came out in 2007 and was the 5th in the "Harry Potter" movie series. Harry got the prophecy that stated "Neither can live while the other survives". This meant eventually Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) and Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) would have to fight... to the death. While he was at the place the prophecy was kept a fight broke out between Harry Potter and his people and Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters, of which Bellatrix Lestrange (Helen Bonham Carter) was one. Bellatrix went after Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), who was her cousin, and hit him with a curse in the chest, killing him.
