Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Jim Halsey (Zachary Knighton) picks up Grace Andrews (Sophia Bush) at her college in his 1970 Oldsmobile. Why are they leaving?

Answer: Spring break

Jim and Grace are headed to Lake Havasu, Arizona to hang out and drink with some of Grace's friends. They don't even make it six blocks from the college before they have to stop for a quick bathroom break for Grace.

2. Jim initially makes chitchat with the hitcher. What does the hitcher say his name is?

Answer: John Ryder

The hitcher is played by English actor Sean Bean. We find out later that John Ryder is the identity of another driver who has been missing, presumably as a result of the hitcher.

Answer: A large stuffed animal frog

Jim and Grace try to warn the parents about John, but they aren't successful. They end up crashing their own vehicle when they are avoiding a head-on collision with a truck.

Answer: The father

Jim's attempts to keep the father alive are unsuccessful. Jim and Grace are both arrested while trying to get help at a diner.

Answer: He draws a bloody smiley face on the interview room window.

It is fortunate for Jim and Grace that there is at least one police officer who realizes that they can't be responsible for the killings in the police station. The rest of the officers would probably be very gung-ho in taking Jim and Grace down, especially since there already are some dead police officers.

Answer: Black

John ends up shooting up the police cars, causing them to crash and he even manages to shoot the helicopter pilot. He passes Jim and Grace and drives off into the distance. Jim and Grace are forced to pull over to the side of the road and ditch their vehicle because their tires have been shot out by police.

7. At the motel, Jim leaves to call their parents, while Grace watches some TV and then falls asleep. When she awakes, what item does she see on the night stand next to her that makes her smile?

Answer: A Chocolate Hostess Cupcake

There is a chocolate Hostess cupcake next to the night stand. At the gas station, she had stated that she preferred a chocolate Ding Dong over a Twinkie. She wrongfully assumes it is Jim lying next to her.

8. What four word phrase does John repeat while Grace holds a gun to his head? It is the same line he earlier tries to force Jim to say while holding a switchblade to Jim's neck.

Answer: I want to die.

He is unsuccessful in getting Jim to say it, early on in the movie. This time John says it, and he really seems to mean it.

9. How does John manage to get out of his handcuffs while being transported to Albuquerque?

Answer: He breaks his thumb to pull his hand through one of the cuffs.

After getting his hand through the cuff, John slices the guard's throat, steals his gun and shoots the guard riding next to the driver. The driver freaks out and causes the van to crash.

10. How does John die?

Answer: Grace shoots him in the head.

As Grace stands over John with a shotgun, he asks Grace "Feels good, doesn't it?" Grace's response is "I don't feel a thing." She shoots him.

I hope you enjoyed this quiz. "The Hitcher" might not be a terrific movie (according to the critics) but it is a fun scary movie with at least a few scenes that will make you jump! Be very selective if you are ever picking up a hitchhiker!
