56 V for Vendetta Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Adam Sutler

This line takes place when V (in Rookwood disguise) tells the story about the rise of Sutler and Norsefire Party to Inspector Finch and Dominic.
Sutler is the high-chancellor of England. V talks about how Sutler has managed to create the oppressive and totalitarian government.

Answer: Rookwood

We learn his name when Dominic goes in and tells him the name. Mr Finch then also looks it up in his email and we see his name as well, as it being mentioned. William is of no relevance to the movie except to let V portray him.

Answer: Evie Hammond

V introduces himself to Evie after rescuing her from the finger men who attacked her. This is at the start of the film and is our first impression of V, and also when we learn that V has several scores to settle. After his self-introduction, which contains 28 words starting with the letter "V", he carves a large letter "V" on a government poster on the wall. He says and does this to show that the letter "V" - and his vendetta - are central to his persona.

Answer: Hugo Weaving

Hugo Weaving, who is also famous for his role in the "Matrix" trilogy, was not the first choice to star in the film. In fact, he was called in when the first actor, James Purefoy, claimed he couldn't breathe in the mask that was used and left the set. Hugo was then brought in and plays the role perfectly.

Answer: wrongdoer

V blew up the Old Bailey as a symbol that people should not be afraid of their government, but that the government should be afraid of their people. An interesting thing about the writing was that the 'u' in punish was written as a 'v'.

Answer: Gordon Deitrich

Gordon hosts one of the television shows at the studio where Evey (played by the beautiful Natalie Portman) works and is also a close friend. He invites her to dinner but being out after curfew, the Fingermen find her and threaten her. V saves her from being attacked by these men and asks Evey to join him in witnessing his first act of terrorism - the explosion of the Old Bailey tower.

Answer: Gordon Deitrich

This is when Evey found out that the whole interrogation thing was fake. She asked whether Gordon was still alive or not.
When Evey escapes from V, she goes to Gordon's house. Gordon Deitrich is TV showman who hosts a comedy show at BTN (Evey' workplace). Gordon shoots an episode other than a censor-approved one, in which his guest is a fake Chancellor Sutler, but that happens to be his last episode.

Answer: Voila

In the beginning of the movie, when he sees Eve being harassed, he appears and kills the fingermen. He then launches into his long "V words" speech where his first word is "voila". She thinks he is a crazy person after the speech.

Answer: Dominic

In his TV address moments earlier, V foreshadows the arrival of the police when he claims that "men with guns will soon be on their way". Not long after V takes over the control room, police swarm the building. As V prepares to leave Jordan Tower, he is surprised by Dominic who holds him at gunpoint for several seconds before he is pepper-sprayed by Evie Hammond. This allows V to overpower Dominic and escape. The quote is delivered rather disdainfully, indicating V's contempt for the police.

Answer: Guy Fawkes

Guy Fawkes was a man who, in 1605, attempted to blow up Parliament. He was caught in the act and hung for his crime. V uses this event as motivation for his freedom fighting efforts, in making the people of London remember Fawkes.

Answer: 12

Evey's parents became political activists after her brother died in an epidemic breakout at St. Mary's school. Because of their activism, they were detained and Evey was sent away.

Answer: sprays pepper gas in the policeman's eyes

V (played by the talented Hugo Weaving) has just broadcast a message to the entire country, asking for their support and telling them how their controlling government must be taken down. Evey is moved by his message and when she sees that V is about to be caught, she helps him. The guard knocks her unconscious and V carries her back to his home. V saves her because he is afraid that the police would torture her in order to get to him. Unfortunately, V tells Evey that she is now thought to be a conspirator and she must stay with him for a year, until November the 5th, when he plans his final act against the government - destroying the Parliament building.

Answer: Lewis Prothero

This conversation between V and Evey takes place when Evey heard about the death of Prothero on the news.
Lewis Prothero was in charge of the Larkhill Detention Facility where V was an experimental subject. He is the first of V's three victims.

Answer: Leprosy colony

In the beginning of the movie, when Lewis Prothero is reporting, he continually talks about the US. How they are incredibly in need of medical supplies. He then comes to say that they are the world's largest leper colony.

Answer: Adam Sutler

V says this after Creedy's men deliver High Chancellor Sutler to him in an abandoned underground station. The "gift" V is referring to is a scarlet carson, the flower he leaves with the bodies of each of his victims. V sees Sutler as the main cause for the state of the country and this meeting is anticipated throughout the film.

Answer: Natalie Portman

Scarlett Johansson was originally considered for the role of Evey, but was cast aside for Natalie Portman, who was coming off her performance as Padme in "Star Wars". Portman had to be trained by professinal linguists to master the English accent she uses in the movie.

Answer: 3:29

Dascomb was also the one who dismantled the bomb. He was about to snip one cord off, when at the last second he snipped the other, and deactivated the bomb set by V.

Answer: biological disaster

A government created virus was released at the St. Mary's school where he attended. Dozens of young children died and the government also poisoned the city's water supplies. In the newspaper clippings that Evey reviews, one headline declares that over 80,000 citizens had been killed. This was the government's way of controlling its citizens, by inducing fear and giving rise to a totalitarian system.

Answer: finger

Mr. Creedy (Tom Pigott-Smith) heads up "The Fingermen", law-enforcement officers who apparently have the power to do anything they want to anyone they choose. Evey Hammond (Natalie Portman) recognizes that she is in grave danger early in the film when she encounters "Fingermen" in a dark alley after curfew.

Answer: Adam Sutler

This is when the final confrontation with Creedy and his men is about to begin. As they bargain, Creedy brings Sutler to V and V gives himself in. Creedy shoots Sutler and asks V to take off his mask. But V refuses and the bloody showdown begins.

Answer: Old Bailey

We hear it mentioned several times; one time when Sutler speaks, as well as in the beginning. He blows it up to show that governments cannot control the people for long. It only takes time until things erupt, which V shows us, accompanied by the "1812 Overture" in E flat.

Answer: One of the finger men

When Evie heads out to Gordon Dietrich's house after curfew begins, she is set upon and intimidated by a group of policemen, or "finger men" as they are known in the film. One of them uses the line with Evie when they overpower her and V, in turn, uses it mockingly with him when he rescues her. We learn later in the film that V has been subject to torture and abuse whilst an inmate at Larkhill Detention Centre, hence his dislike of the values espoused in the above quote. The scene itself was shot in Berlin, although it was set in London.

Answer: The Shadow Gallery

Evey: "What is this place?"
V: "This is my home. I call it the shadow gallery."
Evey: "It's beautiful."

In the comic book, Finch discovered that the Shadow Gallery was in Victoria Station, which was part of the London Underground.

Answer: God Save The Queen!

Gordon explains that he admires V for standing up against a government that is intolerant of individuality. Gordon tells Evey that he is a homosexual, which is absolutely forbidden in England's society under the rule of the Chancellor. Evey fears for Gordon's safety but he reassures her that she is welcome to stay with him and hide from the police.

Answer: Hammond

We see Evey Hammond's full name several times in the film (on her ID card), and hear it spoken by some of the men seeking her out, as well. (Hammond is also a very popular brand of electric organ.)
