Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. With the exception of the song "Jerusalem", who were all the songs on the soundtrack album for this movie composed by?

Answer: Vangelis

The theme song called "Titles" on the soundtrack, is probably known by most people, even those who have never seen the film.
2. Which event did Aubrey Montague compete in?

Answer: Steeplechase

Montague, who's narration introduces the film, fell in the steeplechase, as you might remember, while the words of Eric Liddell quoting Isaiah sounded in the background: "Even your young men shall utterly fall. But they that wait upon the Lord shall mount up with wings as eagles, shall run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint."
3. In the movie, Eric Lidell found out just a few days before the 100 meter final, that it was to be held on a Sunday. This was how it also happened in real life.

Answer: False

Liddell had actually known for about six months.
4. The athlete Harold Abrahams was played by whom?

Answer: Ben Cross

Cross instantly vaulted to fame after "Chariots" was released. However, he has continued to be particular about his roles and has turned down large sums of money to take roles that he feels are better suited to his personal style and personality.
5. "Chariots of Fire" is about which Olympic year?

Answer: 1924

This Olympics was actually held in Paris, France.
6. In real life, Harold Abrahams did not break the world record.

Answer: True

The best he could do was tie it. He also never competed against Eric Liddell.
7. Who joined Abrahams in his epic race around the inside square of the college?

Answer: Lord Andrew Lindsay

As you well know, Abrahams beat the clock, and young Lindsay missed it "by a whisker."
8. According to the film, what was Eric Liddell's ultimate fate?

Answer: As a missionary, he died in occupied China

His devotion to his religion was one of the key points of the movie.
9. Actor Ian Holm played Abraham's coach. What was the coach's name?

Answer: Sam Mussabini

Holm also played Bilbo Baggins in "The Lord of the Rings".
10. "Chariots of Fire" won Best Picture in which year?

Answer: 1982

Up against such giants as, "Atlantic City", "On Golden Pond", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Reds", "Chariots" was a longshot to win, and did. Having seen all those movies that year with the exception of "Atlantic City" I had to agree.
