Rat Race Trivia Questions
1. The film begins with guests at a casino winning six tokens, inviting them to participate in a race for two million dollars. What is the actual purpose of this race?

From Quiz It's Nothing but a Kick in the Face

Answer: For high rollers to gamble on the outcome

Gambling magnate Donald Sinclair (John Cleese) and his high roller friends develop this scheme, because they are bored with everyday gambling, which they find no longer excites them. Sinclair offers six guests (and their partners) the chance to win two million dollars if they are the first to find it in a locker. Meanwhile, the high rollers will bet on who they think will win the race.

2. What hotel/casino does Donald Sinclair own?

From Quiz The Rats of "Rat Race"

Answer: The Venetian

Donald Sinclair is played by John Cleese, who has worked in many other comedy films such as "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", and "A Fish Called Wanda". Mr. Sinclair is the eccentric billionaire responsible for all of the escapades and troubles that the race participants are put through. He organized a race for the lucky individuals that would result in a cash prize of two million dollars. All they needed to do was claim it from locker 001 in the train station of Silver City, New Mexico. Whoever could retrieve it first could keep it all. What the players didn't know was that they were being watched by Sinclair's tycoon and millionaire friends who were betting and gambling on the whole thing.

Greed, however, gets the better of everyone else when they realize that they could have a clean shot at the money since they don't believe anyone else is going to participate.
