Help! Trivia

1. Which Beatle is seen first in the film?

From Quiz All the "Help!" I Can Get

Answer: Ringo Starr

The first shot of a Beatle is a close-up of Ringo's hand. It prominently displays the ring he wears, which is the primary plot device of the film. It is sought by a religious cult. The cult cannot make their ritualistic human sacrifices unless the person being sacrificed is wearing the ring. The woman set to be sacrificed sent the ring to Ringo, and so our story begins.

From Quiz Beatles' "Help!"

Answer: Cult

Ringo has been sent a sacrificial ring by a fan. He puts it on, not realizing it's a cult's sacrificial ring, which is supposed to be worn during a sacrifice. When the cult tries to sacrifice Ringo, he tries to get the ring off, but it won't come off. After many tries to get it off, it just falls off.

From Quiz "Help!" by The Beatles

Answer: Stoned

(These are quotes from the Anthology series.) John: "By then we were smoking marijuana for breakfast, at that period, and we were well into marijuana, and nobody could communicate with us because it was just four glazed eyes giggling all the time." Paul: "I think that was one of the reasons for not learning the script. We'd just sort of showed up a bit stoned, and sort of smiled a lot and hoped we'd get through it." George: "It's difficult, you know, when four people all have to say lines one behind the other. And if one person forgets it, you've got to start again. And then the next person'd forget his lines and we'd did some scenes, the scenes that were in Buckingham Palace in 'Help!' (laughs). We were doing that scene for days."

Answer: You're Going to Lose that Girl

Right after the boys finish recording a take, they receive complaints that there is a buzzing sound in the take. The song is played back to them, and they hear the sound, but no one can pin down where the sound is coming from. The viewer can see a saw cutting a hole around Ringo's drum set, and eventually, he and his drums fall through. Despite what looks like certain doom for Ringo, he escapes with the help of Ahme, who urges him to flee. As an aside, "Help!" is performed indoors, but they boys appear to be performing, and there are no microphones. "I Need You" is performed outdoors in a kind of improvised studio. "Another Girl" is performed outside at the Bahamas.

From Quiz "Help!" by The Beatles

Answer: Ten

Although one of the original ideas for the title of "Help!" was "Eight Arms to Hold You"; the statue in the movie has ten. This sort of discounts the idea that maybe they got the eight arms idea from the statue.

Answer: She's a Woman

Ahme places a tape of the song in a nook in the hole where Clang plants the explosives. Not aware that it is a recording, Clang believes he has planted explosives just below the Beatles and will get them once and for all. The Beatles are in fact recording some distance away. Humorously, one box of explosives says that it contains one millionth the amount of explosives blown up in a week during World War II. "Ticket to Ride" is played while The Beatles are skiing. "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" is played to Ahme at The Beatles' flat. "Act Naturally" is not in the film, but it is on the "Help!" album (UK). Additionally, "She's a Woman" was released as a single and was not on the "Help!" album.

To try to get the ring off, the Beatles first go to a jeweler who tries everything he can. It is causing his life to be threatened, but nothing works.
