Hey Cinephiles - A New Mixed Question Movie Quiz
Hey Cinephiles - A New Mixed Question Movie Quiz
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS IN A COMMENT, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE QUIZ FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST THEM IN A PRIVATE NOTE TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.
The questions are a mix of regular questions, true or false questions, and multiple choice questions. That should make it easier to guess the right answer. When I was teaching, I told my students to never leave a blank answer for one of those questions, because even if you guess on a true/false one, you have a 50% chance of being right and on a multiple choice a 25% chance of being right. I never subtracted for wrong answers. However, for balance, the movies are not only more recent fairly popular movies, but some popular classics as well. To make it a worthwhile challenge, some of the questions may be more difficult.
Please remember that I am on the other side of the world (of most of you) so I could be asleep when you send your answers, so be patient - I will get to your PN as soon as I can.
Either actual names of actors, or their screen names in the movies are acceptable. These are supposed to be a test of your attention to details and memory with respect to the movies, and using an internet site to find your answers is cheating, and no test of your movie knowledge. I've posted questions that are not easily answered by searching the internet anyway. Please number your answers with the same numbers as the questions. Now that we've made that clear, here are the questions. Now, give it a try......

2 In that movie, A Knight’s Tale, what colour tunic did Ulrich / William wear to the ball? Choose one: (a) blue, (b) green, (c) brown, (d) grey

Give it a try, cause I don't think I'll be doing another quiz for a while. It took me ages to prepare this one.
REMEMBER, DON'T POST YOUR ANSWERS AS A COMMENT HERE !!! SEND ME A PRIVATE NOTE.
Thanks for doing this, but all questions are number 1
DAMN!!! I had trouble loading it, and didn't notice the screwup. It's fixed now.
Well this one I could do a little better. Haha
I have seen four of them.
Will you send me a Private Note with your answers?
[removed, please don't give answers away]
Do you not realize that you gave away the answer in your comment, so everyone could see it?
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS IN A COMMENT, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE QUIZ FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
I will replace question number 12 now.
Reread it. I didn't say who might have said it. I simply stated that those exact words were never said.
This was the question:
12. In the classic 1942 movie Casablanca, Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) says to Sam (Dooley Wilson) “Play it again, Sam.” True or False?
The question did not specifically ask who said it. The quotation was what was false. Your reply, indicating that that statement was false, and therefore was never said, gave away the answer, which of course had to be False.
I did not flag your comment, so the fact that it was deleted with advice to you during the very time I was typing my comment to you indicates that I am not the only person who realized you gave away the answer.
Sorry you felt you had to slap me in the face by quitting the group over this, but I wish you well.
I've not seen enough of these movies to give answers, but the ones I have seen... I'm pretty sure I know the answers.
I might send you the answers I think I know anyways.
It took me a long time to prepare this quiz - it's getting harder for each one. I spend a lot of time, because although I come up with the questions from what I see in the movies I watch, I then research to make sure that the answers are not easily located by checking out the movie sites on the web in order that the quiz will be a test of the details that one sees when they actually watch the movies. However, because it's getting harder to prepare the quizzes, and there is so little interest in them, I don't know if or when I will bother to do it again. I'll leave this one open for a few more days and then post the answers and the winners.
I understand your frustration. It seems as if the majority of people on this board are more interested in arguing their side and scoring points than actually discussing issues and having fun. While I will miss your quiz I can definitely understand. It took me several days to get to answering this due to work and other issues. glad I got so many right...
Buzz the questions are too obscure and particular. I have mentioned this to you a couple times before but you didnt believe me.
People don't watch movies paying attention to what color sweater some character was wearing unless it is a major part of the plot. We know what Indiana Jones was afraid of because it was a running joke in the movie.
I saw the movie 20 years ago or whenever it came out, and maybe the next day I could have told you what kind of car she had, but there is no chance in hell 20 years later. Many of your questions have been like that.
I thought his quiz's have been damn good. They have gotten easier, his earlier ones were tougher. To each their own, your line about what color sweater, is that in reference to question #2? IMO that was a major plot line in the movie. And in reference to the car in the Princess diaries, I even remember the color of the car.
I hope Buzz continues with these but if it ends I can sure understand why.
John, I have tried to make the quizzes easier with True/False and multiple choice questions. I also throw in easy questions like the Indiana Jones one. However, if it isn't a challenge it's just a waste of time. I have had scores out of 20 from a few different people of 14, 16 and even 19 out of 20. And many who do not do well still think the quizzes are fun and don't want me to stop.
The car was powder blue, and I wonder if it is the exact same car the studio used for Sam Worthington's (Hillary Duff's) car in A Cinderella Story.
Yeah. I didn't do great, but it was fun none the less! I love the quizzes!
Another movie I saw 20 years ago.
I said with that question that this one could be answered only by persons who were attentive to minute details because it was a tough question - a real challenge, and Snufffy answered it correctly.
Please don't get discouraged.
We need more stuff that takes our minds off all the other things going on. Remember that some of us are older and have limited attention spans - that's why I mainly watch YouTube.
Maybe shorter quizzes would be easier - I'll give you a first question.
What was the movie where the main female protagonist shouted "As God is my witness, I'll never be with out toilet paper again"?
I'm sorry I could only answer 2 of the questions so I won't bother to PM you. Still I must ask about number 6 and Wonder Woman's two weapons?
Seriously, she named them?
She didn't name them but they were named. In the comics she had more weapons and they also had names. Stan Lee liked his details. William Marston created Wonder Woman, but Stan "re-imagined" her along with several other Marvel heros for DC Comics.
Adam, as I said in the opening instructions, you can guess the answers and in the case of the True/False questions you have a 50% chance of being right, and for the multiple choice - 25% chance. I don''t subtract for wrong answers. And as I've said, even those who do not do well are good sports and think the quizzes are fun anyway. A couple of members have already posted when they only got around 4 correct, but they enjoyed the exercise.
Wonder Woman may not have named her weapons, but she used them and anyone watching the movie could see what they were.
As for the question you asked, I never saw a movie with that quotation, but I don't ask quotation questions because the answer can often be found on the internet, same with screen shots. If fact I ALWAYS indicate the movie the question is about.
What are your two answers and your guesses on the others - send me a PN.
I did the quiz just now, then went to your answers, got nine right, five I knew four were guessing.
The part about a multiple choice (4) that you have a 25% chance of being right made me think of what happened during a test in high school. There were 50 questions and four choices, if you guessed "A" for all answers you would have gotten a 25% score (the test was actually set up that way) the lowest scoring student got a score of 0, which means they were actually trying to solve the problems and got the answer wrong 50 times, not just guessing.
The quiz was up for 6 days, so next time try to get to it before I post the answers. Thanks for trying.
This article has 3 likes and 20 comments, one as recent as yesterday, and notwithstanding some members are now looking for it it has been pushed off the Front Page. This system stinks to hell, because only politics gets fair play on it.
Winners on this quiz were Snuffy with 16 correct, Kathleen and husband with 14 1/2 correct and Trout came in third with 9 1/2.
In case anyone's interested, and at this point that's not likely because this quiz was pushed off the front page a long time ago, here are the answers:
(c) 9 1/2 William asked her how old she was, she replied "I'm nine and one half", and then William repeated the number.
(b) green That was the only colour any of them had.
NIKE It was shown in a fleeting second, and I didn't think anyone would notice it.
True Mildred (Frances McDormand) threw them.
True They were 2 runs behind, and that won them the game, and the Pennant.
sword and whip (or lassoo, or rope)
(b) peaches
vanity
False She never did.
(b) 150
Shoot (kill) the Arab (man) he had rescued.
He was stuffing it into a woodchipper.
(d) both lobster and cracked crab
Free
False He had never played golf before and was terrible at it.
(a) pink
False. She called Kicking Bird (Graham Greene) "a holy man".
(Ford) Mustang convertible
snakes
False. She poured salt and other chemicals into the water, which was an incongruity in the movie, because the "asset" was found in the Amazon where the rivers/lakes are fresh water.
To be fully accurate, green was the color of his tent and that was the only spare fabric they had. It was quite funny watching them describe his tunic for the upcoming dance while keeping the lady's maid from turning to face the tent.
VERY observant. But I didn't see the wooden toggles on the finished product.
