Daredevil Trivia

1. Daredevil is one of the most popular heroes to emerge from the Marvel comic book universe. Who plays the blind 'Man Without Fear' in the 2003 movie hit?

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck was selected to portray Matt Murdock, a young man who, despite his blindness, has become a successful lawyer by day and a vigilante-style superhero by night. Daredevil employs a set of stick-like weapons, dons a full-body suit of scarlet and leaves his characteristic 'DD' signal wherever he has practiced his specialty.

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: Elektra

She said this to Daredevil after he said, "Wait! It wasn't me! It was a hit man named Bullseye. I didn't kill your father."

From Quiz The Man Without Fear

Answer: The Olympic

He was called Jack "The Devil" Murdock, this is what Matt Murdock later took his own alter-ego's name from. Jack was killed outside of the Olympic on orders from a man he had once worked for named Fallon because he was supposed to have thrown the fight. Near the end of the movie Matt returns to the Olympic and throws a rose onto the spot where his father had died.

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: He is blind.

Daredevil (Ben Affleck) was blinded as a 12-year-old. The driver of a truck, trying to avoid hitting the child, sideswiped a barrel of toxic substances instead; the resulting spray destroyed the boy's vision. Luckily for him, however, his remaining senses were sharpened - to the point that he can use his sense of hearing as a kind of radar, and can "see" someone by the sounds that falling raindrops make on their body.

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: Natchios

Elektra Natchios is the daughter of a Greek tycoon. This hasn't spoiled her, however, as she appears to be rather down to earth. When Matt Murdock first encounters Elektra, she is resistant to him, particularly because he appears to be putting on the slick moves. Eventually, after a good fight, she reveals her name.

From Quiz The Man Without Fear

Answer: go salsa dancing

Nelson says this during an argument about what the lawyers will and will not accept as payment for their services. (Their last client had come and paid them in Fluke, a kind of fish.)

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: He did not lose his hearing.

When his father was beating someone up, a truck knocked barrels onto the floor. The toxic chemicals in the barrels caused an explosion that caused Matt to lose his sight.

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: Matt Murdock, "the blind lawyer from Hell's Kitchen."

After observing the nonchalance of the justice system regarding his father's murder, the 12-year-old Matt resolved to "help those who no one else would." Thus, he becomes partner (with his best friend Franklin Nelson (Jon Favreau)) in a pro bono law practice by day, representing clients no one else cares about. When justice is not done in the courtroom (his sharpened sense of hearing allows him to hear the quickening heartbeat of a lying witness), he returns as Daredevil by night, to administer a rather more violent form of justice ... with no possible appeal.

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: Jon Favreau

Jon Favreau does a decent job as the comic relief in the film. I especially enjoyed his discussion about a client who paid for their lawyering services in kind, with flukes (a fluke being a kind of fish).

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner wore green contact lenses over her brown eyes for her role as Elektra.

From Quiz The Man Without Fear

Answer: Hell's Kitchen

The area is referred to as Hell's Kitchen throughout the entire movie, it is supposed to be in a rough area in New York City, so named because of gang warfare and general decay.

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: Daredevil's father, a boxer, refused to throw a fight.

Young Matt's father had once been a great boxer, but alcoholism ended his career and he became a dockworker and petty criminal working for the crimelord Fallon. Matt happened upon one of his father's "side jobs" while walking home from school; it was while he was running from this sight that he was blinded. The two of them promised each other that they would remake themselves and never give up; the elder Murdock began his boxing career anew, and Matt learned Braille and decided to go to law school. Told by Fenton to throw a match, Matt's father just could not let down his son; so he won it, and was murdered shortly thereafter by Wilson Fisk. (Fisk was then another petty employee of Fenton; years afterward he became the Kingpin, the citywide crime lord of New York.)

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: Michael Clarke Duncan

In the comics, the Kingpin is white, but in the movie he is played by an African-American, Michael Clarke Duncan. The studio was convinced to use Duncan after several white wrestlers gave poor screen tests. Colin Farrell playes Bullseye, Jon Favreau playes Foggy and Joe Pantoliano playes Ben Urich.

From Quiz The Man Without Fear

Answer: Quesada

Enraged that Quesada is not being truthful and is in fact acting like a victim himself, Matt says to him: "Mr. Quesada, for your sake, I hope justice is found here today, before justice finds you." Later Daredevil finds the man and exacts a bit of "justice" of his own.

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: A rose

Kingpin's thugs left a rose on Daredevil's father, as well as on Elektra.

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: He leaves a single red rose with the victim.

It's Daredevil who writes his intials (DD) with gasoline, waiting for someone to discard a cigarette and set his signature ablaze. The Kingpin's signature is very important to the plot; it's how Daredevil realizes who was responsible for the death of his father.

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: Roman Catholic

Friends with a priest named Father Everett (Derrick O'Connor), Daredevil goes to Confession regularly. His discussions with Father Everett regarding the morality of vigilante justice provide an ethical framework for the film, and a climactic battle in his cathedral is one of the most memorable moments of the movie.

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: Reporter

Joe Pantoliano, a character actor who shows up in just about every other action-related film (for example, 'Bad Boys II', 'Memento' and 'The Matrix') is a sympathetic character in this film. He is somehow able to discover Daredevil's true identity, but will he reveal it to the world?

From Quiz The Man Without Fear

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: Martial arts

Elektra's father, she tells Matt Murdock, "didn't want [her] to be a victim." So he had her study with a different sensei every year since she was five years old. She and Matt fight - in a friendly sort of way - in a playground after he asks for her name, each impressing the other.

From Quiz The Man Without Fear

Answer: paperclip

In the scene in the bar where Bullseye is insulted by a man he has just beaten at darts, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a paperclip. The crowd breathes a sigh of relief that it is not a weapon and then Bullseye proceeds to perforate the man's neck with paperclips. He later uses a peanut on the old woman on the plane. (She chokes on it.)

The rapist was acquitted because of Kingpin's machinations. He was truly guilty however, and was killed by Daredevil that night.

From Quiz Daredevil

Answer: Stan Lee

Stan Lee, co-creator of both Marvel Comics and the Daredevil character, makes a well-deserved appearance in the movie in the scenario described above. Frank Miller, who wrote and illustrated the comic book for several years, also makes a brief cameo. Jack Kirby and John Romita also see their names appear at different points in the film, but the two men do not appear in the movie.

Paul Ben-Victor playes Jose Quesada, Derrick O'Connor playes Father Everett and Erick Avari playes Nikolas Natchios, Elektra's father.

Kevin Smith plays a forensic assistant who notices that the weapon used to kill Mr. Natchios extends out into a blind man's cane. His name is mentioned by the reporter, Urich, who comes to see what it is that Kirby has discovered. (For a price of course.)
