From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: sauna

3. What is Coop's nickname for Katie?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: Crazy Katie

Coop calls the pilot, Katie, "Crazy Katie" twice in the movie; once at the beginning and once at the end, due to her style of flying.

4. Where do the dogs sleep?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: in the snow

The dogs burrow into holes in the snow and their body heat reflects off of the snow and keeps them warm. In some of the scenes, after snowfall during the night, all you can see are their noses poking out of the surface. Two Alaskan Malamutes and six Siberian Huskies are the true stars of this movie.

5. Which dog is playing poker with Jerry and the others, the first night that the Doc is with them?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: Old Jack

Jerry asks Jack if he is in or out. Jack whines and the others take this to mean he is out.

6. Why must Jerry and Dr. McClaren cut their trip short?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: severe storm

Jerry (played by Paul Walker) tells the Doc they have to head back immediately. The Doc asks Jerry for a few more hours to research the area and look for the meteorite artifact that he has come to Mt. Melbourne to find. Jerry agrees. As they are heading back to camp, everything falls apart. The storm moves in fast and the Doc, trying to radio camp while Jerry tends to Old Jack's injured paw, falls through the ice. The Doc suffers a broken leg and severe hypothermia, and Jerry and the dogs rush back to camp for medical care.

7. What flavor of ice cream does Jerry warm up for Katie?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: Strawberry

Jerry pays Katie a visit right before he goes to bed, telling her he warmed up some of her favorite ice cream (he has to warm it up because the temperature is -30). She replies that strawberry is HIS favorite ice cream.

8. The crew is forced to evacuate the camp and the eight sled dogs are left behind. All manage to break free of their chains after a few days except one. Which one?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: Old Jack

Max is the first to break free - he playfully chases the camp flag across the snowy field. The other dogs follow but Old Jack, too tired to even try, lays down as the younger dogs romp around him. Maya stays with Old Jack at first, encouraging him to get up and even nips at his collar to help him out of it but finally, the pack must leave him behind. Later, when Jerry returns to camp to look for the dogs, he finds Old Jack exactly where he left him, on the chain.

9. When Jerry is introducing the dogs, which one does he say is still in training?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: Max

Jerry refers to Max in his introduction as "the pup of the bunch." He mentions that he is still in training, although he never tells his age.

10. Jerry is determined to go back to the Antarctic to search for the dogs. He visits Dr. McClaren at his home in California to enlist his help. What is the Doc's son drawing on his father's leg cast when Jerry arrives?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: rocket ship

Jerry brings the Doc a picture, taken of the two of them with the sled dogs just before they had embarked on their research trip. Jerry asks for funding to get him back to Antarctica but the Doc cannot help him. Jerry is determined to find another way - any way - to get back to camp, as he is haunted by having left the team of dogs behind.

11. How does Max mess up right after they all escape their collars?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: He barks and scares off dinner.

Max barks and scares the flock of birds that the dogs were planning to hunt for food. Because of this, he is made to stay behind while the other dogs hunt the remaning birds.

12. One of the sled dogs is mortally wounded after a fall down a steep slope. Which dog is it?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: Dewey

Dewey and Truman are affectionately referred to as The Twins. Truman had bitten Dewey years earlier, over the eye, and they have been friends ever since (Dewey still bears the scar from the bite). Dewey falls down a steep slope and breaks his back. Unable to move, the other dogs stand guard over him but during the night, he expires. Each dog says good-bye to him but Max (the youngest dog) hangs back to nuzzle Dewey and gets separated from the pack after they have all left.

13. Where is the rocketship that Doc's son draws on his cast headed to?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: Mars

At age six, Doc's son Eric is quite the artist. He draws a picture for him every trip and, after the Doc breaks his leg, turns his cast into a virtual coloring book. When Doc asks him where the rocket is headed to, he replies, "To Mars, Dad."

14. Which country owns the camp where the dogs find shelter and food?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: Russia

You can tell it is the Russian camp because all of the food supplies have Russian wording on the labels. The dogs are able to spend their first night inside, out of the harsh elements. They also manage to scavenge for food and find boxes of crackers to eat. At this point, the pack is shrinking. Dewey and Old Jack have died and Max has gotten separated from the rest. Traveling together are Maya (who is still the leader), Buck, Shadow, Shorty and Truman.

15. Which base does the team borrow the Snow Cat from, in order to get back to the dogs?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: The Italian base

Coop tells about how on a previous expedition, he encountered the Italian base and stopped there to warm up. It was there that he met Simonetta, his Italian girlfriend.

16. Who said the line, "Horses, Doc...rein 'em in?"

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: Coop

When Coop is telling the others about how he found the Italian base, the Doc doesn't see where the story is headed and starts to ask Coop what it has to do with anything. Coop replies with "Horses, Doc...rein 'em in." By this, Coop is telling the Doc to have patience while he makes his point, or in other words, to "hold his horses."

17. What happens to Maya while feeding on the whale carcass?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: attacked by a leopard seal

Max lures the seal away from the pack so that they can eat, but it comes back around and grabs Maya by her back leg. She is severely injured and although she can still walk, she realizes that she can no longer lead the others. She shows the pack that Max is now the leader by offering her food to him. The others follow suit but Max takes his meal to Maya and together they share it.

18. What is left behind as the team leaves the base with the dogs?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: A cross

In the very last scene of the movie, a cross is shown with the collars of Old Jack and Dewey, honoring the two dogs that didn't make it.

19. Where does Jerry find the dogs who survived?

From Quiz Eight Below

Answer: at his camp

Max hears the crew arrive at the camp. Max runs to Jerry and the other dogs follow and are happily reunited with their master. Maya however is severely injured from her seal attack and when the crew and dogs are ready to leave the camp, Maya is not with them. Jerry assumes that she met a similar fate as Old Jack, but Max barks insistently and leads Jerry to where Maya is laying. At first she appears to have died but when Jerry lays his hand on her, she slowly opens her eyes. Jerry carries her back to the SnowCat and they all leave for the mainland. Maya, Max, Truman, Shorty, Shadow and Buck all survive their ordeal in Antarctica. The dogs had been on their own for approximately 175 days. This movie was inspired by actual events from 1958 involving 12 sled dogs from a Japanese expedition. Thanks for playing and enjoy this movie!
