Oscar Trivia

1. What prompts Angelo "Snaps" Provolone to give up his life of crime?

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: He made a promise to his dying father.

The deathbed scene, with Kirk Douglas and Yvonne De Carlo, is a classic.

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Sylvester Stallone

In my humble opinion, this is Sly's best acting job ever!

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: "Little Ant'ny" Rossano

Vincent Spano plays Anthony with touchingly earnest pomposity. Anthony wants to marry Snaps' daughter.

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Ornella Muti

You may also remember the superb Ornella Muti as Ming the Merciless' daughter Aura in the classic 'Flash Gordon' from 1980. Marisa was the daughter 'Lisa', Linda was the new maid 'Roxie' and, Ms. D'Abo wasn't in this particular cinematic masterpiece.

Answer: Marisa Tomei

When she throws a tantrum I dare any red-blooded American male to say no!

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Aldo

Aldo (Peter Riegert) has a hard time adjusting to his new role as butler. Connie (Chazz Palminteri) is the big, dumb lunk with a heart of gold. Ace (Joey Travolta) is evidently a fairly low man on the totem pole, since he gets right to work when Aldo tells him, "Get started on those melon balls!" Johnny Elbows never appears; he's the new chauffeur.

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Tim Curry

This is also one of Tim Curry's better roles. If you liked him as Dr. Frankenfurter you'll love him as Dr. Poole! Stallone is Snaps, Riegert (who you may have loved in 'Animal House') is everyone's favorite butler, Aldo. Spano plays Lil Antony.

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Lady Chatterly's Lover

Lisa (Marisa Tomei) is lounging in a negligee, smoking a cigarette, reading "Lady Chatterly", and listening to "Sweet Georgia Brown" on the phonograph. Snaps confronts her because he thinks Anthony is her lover.

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Don Ameche

Fonda, Price and, Lemmon are excellent actors, but Don Ameche was lucky enough to land this role.

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Bruce Underwood

Lisa whines, "I don't want to marry Bruce Underwood! He's a snob and he's got pimples!"

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Linda Grey

He had a thing for her.

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: 2 & two

Snaps tells Lisa, "If it's Poole you want, it's Poole you'll get. But you've got to cross the finish line on this one! This is your third fiance today and it ain't even lunch yet!" But he's counting Oscar (Lisa's real lover) or Bruce Underwood (the man he wants her to marry), and neither of them was engaged to Lisa. Snaps manipulates Anthony into being the first fiance, then Anthony finagles out of the engagement by arranging a match with Dr. Poole.

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Peter Riegert

There are actually two 'Animal House' alumni in this movie. The other is Mark Metcalf of 'Niedermeyer' fame. I guess, director John Landis liked to stick with a good thing. John Belushi and Stephen Furst (Flounder) weren't graced with a role in this film.

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: To marry Bruce Underwood

Nora (Joycelyn O'Brien) met Bruce when he came to visit Lisa. "Ah, it was love at first sight!"

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: John Landis

We all owe endless thanks to Lucas for 'Star Wars', Spielberg for 'ET' and 'Indiana Jones' and, good old Jerry for 'Armageddon'. 'Oscar', however, was all Landis!

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Snaps divests him of all his weapons.

He was packing two guns, a razor, a putty knife, brass knuckles, a chair leg, a knife, poison, a lead pipe, a meat hook, a slingshot, a morning star, and a homemade dynamite bomb. Snaps muttered, "It's like disarming Germany."

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Joey

Is there a Julio Travolta? Joey is one of the gangsters/kitchen help. His is not a big nor important role, but he's a Travolta so I thought you might remember his name.

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Johnny Elbows had dropped her off at Mass and sat outside with the motor running.

Sofia (Ornella Muti) demanded to know why Snaps had fired Oscar. "He was a real chauffeur."

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Chazz Palminteri

With movies like 'The Usual Suspects' and 'nalyze This', you'll love Chazz, despite his being an ox and a moron!

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Vendetti and Lt. Toomey

Five-Spot Charley (Eddie Bracken) is feeding rumors to both Vendetti (Richard Romanus) and Toomey (Kurtwood Smith). He's never one to pass up a buck.

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: $50,000 in cash

Aldo switched it for the bag with the underwear while Connie was distracted by Lisa and Dr. Poole.

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Mark Metcalf

Mark Metcalf, known to several generations as 'Niedermeyer' is one of the bankers. You might remember him reprising his roles in Twisted Sister's video 'I Wanna Rock' and as mentioned in (we shouldn't have fragged Sgt. Neidermeyer) 'Twilight Zone: The Movie'.

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Albanian and his gang

Toomey got his false information from Five-Spot Charley. Snaps is meeting with the bankers (William Atherton, Mark Metcalf, Ken Howard, and Sam Chew Jr.) Toomey finds the bag he thinks is full of money and dumps it on the table, only to spill out the maid's underwear. The gentlemen of the press capture this moment.

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Martin Ferrero

Martin Ferrero also played Izzy Moreno, the sleazy informant, on 'Miami Vice'. Joe Pantoliano is just an all-around great actor whose name should be known. He's in one of your favorite movies or TV shows. Really. Google him. You'll be surprised at how many AWESOME movies he's in. I included Ted McGinley because, despite his fine acting skills on the big screen ('Revenge of the Nerds'), he's almost always the kiss of death for a TV series. Think 'Married With Children' or 'Love Boat'. In respect to Mr. McGinley, this is a really cool website for people who are thirtysomething in 2003 http://www.bored.com/

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: His car crashes into Toomey's car, and he and his men are all arrested.

With the resulting arrests, Toomey snatches victory from the jaws of defeat.

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Angelo

Of course, Sly's an angel!

From Quiz Oscar

Answer: Dr. Poole

They fell in love while chatting on the atrium. Anthony marries Theresa, as he'd originally planned. Oscar (Jim Mulholland) rushes in at the last minute to object, but Snaps has Aldo and his men cart him outside.

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Kirk Douglas

Kirk Douglas is quite heavy-handed on his death bed.

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: $100,000

It's actually closer to $95,000 but I'm not that much of a geek that I've stopped the DVD to write down the specifics. I know that the remainder is 30 cents. Regardles, Lil Antony gets $50,000 (ish) in jewels from the 5 cent bookkeeping error then, as treasurer of a dummy corporation, writes himself a $50,000 check. Ergo, Antony nets about $100K.

From Quiz Characters in 'Oscar'

Answer: Kurtwood Smith

As of 2003, Kurtwood Smith could be found portraying Red Forman on 'That 70s Show'. He was also in 'Dead Poet's Society'. He seems to have a penchant for playing hard-nosed, Archie Bunker-esque characters.
