Answer: Kodiak Valley

Kodiak Valley is a fictional resort which was rocking in the 1980s, but had seen better days by 2010. In both times, the guys stay in room 420. Most of the film was shot at either Big Bear Lake, in Big Bear Valley, California or Fernie, British Columbia. Fernie is located in the southeastern corner of British Columbia and is distinctive as the only incorporated city in Canada to be surrounded by the Rocky Mountains. Big Bear is in San Bernadino County, about an hour east of Los Angeles. It is home to two of the most popular ski resorts in Southern California.

Answer: Crispin Glover

Crispin Glover plays the unfortunate bell-hop, and the mystery behind his lost arm is one of the running gags of the film. There are teasers involving juggling chain saws and a freak elevator accident, but in the end he has it knocked off by a passing truck. In the brighter version of the future, his arm is reattached. Crispin Glover played George McFly in the "Back to the Future" series, which was released in the mid-1980s, the time frame for "Hot Tub Time Machine." Since then, Glover has generally played quirky characters. He was Andy Warhol in "The Doors" (1991) and a strange assassin "Charlie's Angels" (2000), among others. Wilson was McFly nemesis Biff Tannen. Lloyd was Doctor Emmett Brown. McClure was Dave McFly, George's son.

Answer: Chernobyl

The energy drink, Chernobli, contains "ingredients which are illegal in the United States" according to Lou. He is uncertain what those ingredients are, but is excited about the fact that they are illegal. Chernobyl, a city in the Ukraine, was the site of the world's largest nuclear disaster. Because the film takes place in January 1986, Chernobli would have little meaning for non time-travelers, since the nuclear accident at Chernobyl took place on April 26, 1986. There were 56 immediate deaths, and several thousand secondary deaths related to the radiation leaks. While much of the area near Chernobyl has become habitable, the area around the plant will remain contaminated for thousands of years.

Answer: Tara

Tara repeated it several times when Nick started saying the name of his wife, Courtney, while they were having sex. Nick justifies having sex with the groupie on the grounds that 1) he should not interfere with the time-space continuum by changing events; 2) Since it is 1986, he has not yet met the woman who would become his wife. Tara is played by actress Jessica Pare. A native of Montreal, Quebec, she was in "Lost and Delirious" (2001) and "Wicker Park" (2004). Pare was also on television as Courtney Benedict in the series "Jack and Bobby" (2004-05).

Answer: Google

Lou (Rob Corddry) creates a web search engine called "Lougle." He uses his knowledge of the future to make very sound investments, and states humbly that Lougle is worth several billion dollars. Lou was nicknamed "The Violator," although it is uncertain why, because he gets his butt kicked in most of the fights we see in the film. At the end of the film, in the alternate future, the name of his yacht is "The Violator." At the start of the film, Lou is a rather pathetic character, who attempts to kill himself by running his car in a locked garage. Cheering him up after the suicide attempt leads to the road trip, which takes them to the time machine.
