Movies H-K: 'J' Trivia

1. Where does the film open?

From Quiz The Joker Is Wild

Answer: A speakeasy in Chicago

Joe (Frank Sinatra) and his faithful piano player Austin Mack (Eddie Albert) have a good job at Georgie Parker's speakeasy. But when Joe announces plans to move up to a respectable venue, the Valencia, Parker (Ted de Corsia) and Tim Coogan (Leonard Graves) become threatening. Joe refuses to take seriously either the gangsters' threats or Austin's fears. And at first all seems to be well. The opening goes off splendidly. In subsequent days they go to Blue Label Records to cut a disc. Even Coogan's appearance at the Valencia on Joe's opening night does not alarm him, believing as he does that the gangster's menace is all bluster.

From Quiz Jungle Cruise (2021)

Answer: Aguirre

From Quiz Jojo Rabbit

Answer: A grenade

The film begins by introducing Jojo, a 10-year-old boy living in Germany during the waning years of WWII who is obsessed with Hitler and the Nazi party. Jojo attends the Hitlerjugend training weekend led by Captain Klenzendorf, who everyone calls Captan K. "This is your first step towards being men," Captain K explains as he addresses the children assembled before him. "Today you boys will be involved in such activities as marching, bayonet drills, grenade-throwing, trench-digging, map-reading, gas defense, camouflage, ambush techniques, war games, firing guns and blowing stuff up." The boys all cheer ecstatically. That night as they try to go to sleep in their tent, Jojo chats with his friend, Yorki, about how he would like to catch a Jew and present it to Hitler. Jojo talks a big game, but he just wants somewhere to fit in. The next day, Jojo is humiliated in front of everyone at the morning's activity when he is asked to kill a defenseless rabbit in a show of strength and dominance, but tries unsuccessfully to let the animal escape instead. The older team leaders kill the rabbit and taunt Jojo, calling him a "scared little rabbit" and finally "Jojo rabbit". Determined to demonstrate his bravery, Jojo interrupts Captain K as he is conducting a lesson. "Now lads, each of you will be given the opportunity to ignite and throw a grenade," Captain K begins. "I will personally be supervising each of you to make sure you don't blow your eyes out or something. All right, who's first?" Just then, Jojo comes bursting out of the woods. He jumps up over the sandbag wall, grabs the grenade from Captain K and runs off with it into the clearing, working himself up into a frenzy. He pulls the pin and throws the grenade high into the air and watches as it comes into contact with a tree and boomerangs back, landing at Jojo's feet where it detonates, sending Jojo flying in a cloud of smoke and debris. Captain K turns to the rest of the children. "Don't do that," he instructs.

From Quiz Ode to a Boogeyman

Answer: His deceased wife

John's wife dies suddenly at the beginning of the movie, presumably from an unnamed illness. John and Helen are shown as a happy couple in brief flashback scenes, and her loss is devastating to John (Keanu Reeves). After the funeral service, John receives an adorable dog named Daisy and finds out in a letter that his wife had arranged for Daisy to be sent to him, so he won't be alone after her death.
