Characters in 'Oscar' Trivia Quiz

Answer: Sylvester Stallone

In my humble opinion, this is Sly's best acting job ever!

Answer: Ornella Muti

You may also remember the superb Ornella Muti as Ming the Merciless' daughter Aura in the classic 'Flash Gordon' from 1980. Marisa was the daughter 'Lisa', Linda was the new maid 'Roxie' and, Ms. D'Abo wasn't in this particular cinematic masterpiece.

Answer: Marisa Tomei

When she throws a tantrum I dare any red-blooded American male to say no!

Answer: Tim Curry

This is also one of Tim Curry's better roles. If you liked him as Dr. Frankenfurter you'll love him as Dr. Poole! Stallone is Snaps, Riegert (who you may have loved in 'Animal House') is everyone's favorite butler, Aldo. Spano plays Lil Antony.

Answer: Don Ameche

Fonda, Price and, Lemmon are excellent actors, but Don Ameche was lucky enough to land this role.

Answer: Linda Grey

He had a thing for her.

Answer: Peter Riegert

There are actually two 'Animal House' alumni in this movie. The other is Mark Metcalf of 'Niedermeyer' fame. I guess, director John Landis liked to stick with a good thing. John Belushi and Stephen Furst (Flounder) weren't graced with a role in this film.

Answer: John Landis

We all owe endless thanks to Lucas for 'Star Wars', Spielberg for 'ET' and 'Indiana Jones' and, good old Jerry for 'Armageddon'. 'Oscar', however, was all Landis!

Answer: Joey

Is there a Julio Travolta? Joey is one of the gangsters/kitchen help. His is not a big nor important role, but he's a Travolta so I thought you might remember his name.

Answer: Chazz Palminteri

With movies like 'The Usual Suspects' and 'nalyze This', you'll love Chazz, despite his being an ox and a moron!

Answer: Vincent Spano

Surprisingly, this is a veteran actor working steadily since the 60s. However, besides 'Alive' and 'Oscar', Vincent Spano hasn't done much in American media - a shame as he was a wonderful straight man in this movie.

Answer: Mark Metcalf

Mark Metcalf, known to several generations as 'Niedermeyer' is one of the bankers. You might remember him reprising his roles in Twisted Sister's video 'I Wanna Rock' and as mentioned in (we shouldn't have fragged Sgt. Neidermeyer) 'Twilight Zone: The Movie'.

Answer: Martin Ferrero

Martin Ferrero also played Izzy Moreno, the sleazy informant, on 'Miami Vice'. Joe Pantoliano is just an all-around great actor whose name should be known. He's in one of your favorite movies or TV shows. Really. Google him. You'll be surprised at how many AWESOME movies he's in. I included Ted McGinley because, despite his fine acting skills on the big screen ('Revenge of the Nerds'), he's almost always the kiss of death for a TV series. Think 'Married With Children' or 'Love Boat'.

In respect to Mr. McGinley, this is a really cool website for people who are thirtysomething in 2003 http://www.bored.com/

Answer: Angelo

Of course, Sly's an angel!

Answer: Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas is quite heavy-handed on his death bed.

Answer: $100,000

It's actually closer to $95,000 but I'm not that much of a geek that I've stopped the DVD to write down the specifics. I know that the remainder is 30 cents. Regardles, Lil Antony gets $50,000 (ish) in jewels from the 5 cent bookkeeping error then, as treasurer of a dummy corporation, writes himself a $50,000 check. Ergo, Antony nets about $100K.

Answer: Kurtwood Smith

As of 2003, Kurtwood Smith could be found portraying Red Forman on 'That 70s Show'. He was also in 'Dead Poet's Society'. He seems to have a penchant for playing hard-nosed, Archie Bunker-esque characters.

Answer: Nora's

Nora, the maid who would marry the millionaire Bruce Underwood, had a very 'mistake-able' black bag. It looked (and weighed?)like jewels, cash or, underwear.

Answer: Joseph F. Crater

Judge Joseph F. Crater disappeared August 6, 1930. The other two plausible candidates were much too late. D. B. Cooper jumped out of his airplane and into the history books November 24, 1971. Teamster president Jimmy Hoffa was last seen July 30, 1975 (my fifth birthday) unless you believe that he's seen by millions every Sunday when someone scores a touchdown at The Meadowlands. Elvis? You've got to be kidding. Elvis is everywhere.

Answer: $100

Five-Spot's stuttering gratitude never could quite enunciate 'C-note', but that's what he was supposed to get for bearing the news.

Answer: Bruce Underwood

Snaps introduced Lisa to Bruce Underwood, the scion of another wealthy family, with a German butler. However, Bruce fell for the flamingly red-haired Irish maid, Nora.

Answer: Anthony Rossano

Thinking he was getting his beloved Teresa, poor 'Lil Antony signs a 'legally binding' document swearing he's actually the father of Lisa Provolone's (non-existent)child.

Answer: Dr. Thornton Poole

Her gilded cage - his mother's clingy gall bladder. It's a match made in heaven. Her wedding dress was stunning.

Answer: Anthony Rossano

She's Snaps' daugther...but not really...but I thought you knew!

Answer: The chauffeur

He enlisted in the army before any major wars (1931) because he couldn't stand to marry into Snaps' family. He came back, duffel bag in hand, to object at Lisa's and Teresa's wedding. Oscar was removed expeditiously. I hope you liked this quiz and I really hope that you'll revist this EXCELLENT movie.
