The Bone Collector Trivia Questions
1. What is the first crime scene encountered in the movie, in the flashback?

From Quiz The Bone Collector

Answer: Murdered Cop

We are shown this crime scene as a flashback to the day when Lincoln Rhyme was paralysed by an oak beam falling onto him and breaking his spine at the C4 vertebra. It is the only time we see Denzel Washington (who played Lincoln) walking in the whole movie.

2. Where is the setting for the film?

From Quiz The Bone Collector

Answer: New York City

"The Bone Collector" is set right in the heart of the Big Apple.

3. What does Amelia NOT do at the crime scene, where she discovers Alan Rubin's body?

From Quiz The Bone Collector

Answer: Buy a camera

Amelia delegated the job of buying the camera to the kid who called the cops (Chris). She then went on to stop the train while he bought the camera, and when he returned she took photographs of the scene. She used a dollar bill to identify the size of the perp's footprint, and she bagged up the staged evidence left on the track because it was close to dripping water which could have ruined it.

4. What was the name of Amelia's boyfriend?

From Quiz The Bone Collector

Answer: Steve

He wanted to get serious; she wasn't ready.

5. Where did Rhyme deduce that Lindsay Rubin was being held captive?

From Quiz The Bone Collector

Answer: Woolworth Building

This was made apparent by the ground oyster shells found at the first crime scene. According to Lincoln's research (dating from when he was a forensics cop) this particular area of New York used ground oyster shells in the foundations of some of the buildings (which is how Pearl Street got its name).

6. What was the education level of Lincoln's parents?

From Quiz The Bone Collector

Answer: 8th grade

He tried to encourage Amelia that destiny is what you make it.

7. Why was Lincoln going to have a doctor-assisted suicide?

From Quiz The Bone Collector

Answer: Eventually, a seizure would turn him into a vegetable.

He said to his doctor, "I don't want to be a vegetable, Barry."

8. Who figured out the vital clue for deciphering the location of the second crime scene (with the boy and the rats)?

From Quiz The Bone Collector

Answer: Eddie Ortiz

Part of the staged clue discovered at the first crime scene was old earth (or so it appeared). When analysing the 'earth', Eddie Ortiz discovered that it had an unusually high nitrogen content. He remembered that old manure has a high nitrogen content, so this suggested an old stockyard or slaughterhouse.

9. What unit had Amelia wait-listed to get into?

From Quiz The Bone Collector

Answer: Youth Services

Lincoln called it a "cushy desk job."

10. What nickname did Lincoln give to Thelma, his aide?

From Quiz The Bone Collector

Answer: Queen of Puzzles

Thelma was the one who was able to rearrange the scraps of paper found amongst the staged clues into the shape of a lady's head. This was the publishing logo on the book 'The Bone Collector'. In the book, Amelia found depictions of all the crimes they'd found so far. By looking at the final image in the book, Amelia was able to deduce where the old man and the little girl were being held.

11. Who took over the Police Department after Lincoln's injury?

From Quiz The Bone Collector

Answer: Cheney

He threw it in Lincoln's face many times.

12. The perpetrator of the murders appeared in the film as Richard Thompson, the technician who dealt with Lincoln's monitors. What was his former name?

From Quiz The Bone Collector

Answer: Marcus Andrews

Marcus Andrews used to be a cop in Syracuse. He had planted false evidence to ensure the conviction of suspects who he thought were guilty. He was bitter because Lincoln Rhyme had written an 'expert opinion' which ultimately led to his own imprisonment.

13. Who was the first victim?

From Quiz The Bone Collector

Answer: Alan Rubin

Amelia found him buried under stones near a train track.

14. What was Lincoln Rhyme's Christmas gift from Amelia?

From Quiz The Bone Collector
