From Quiz The Untouchables

10. Frank Nitti, Al Capone's evil right hand man, was played gloriously by Billy Drago. Eliot Ness discovers Nitti is the man who killed Malone in Malone's apartment, while doing what seemingly mundane act?

From Quiz The Untouchables

Answer: Lighting a cigarette

Ness uses a matchbook, one of the items confiscated from Nitti's pockets outside of the courtroom, to light a cigarette. He finds Malone's address written on the inside of the matchbook, which has no business being written there. Drago has made a very good living playing evil incarnate, starring as demons in the TV dramas "Charmed" and "Supernatural", and movie villains in "The Hills Have Eyes", and "El Muerto". His facial structure lends to minimal acting, as he can just stand there and look evil.

Answer: A. Costa

Wallace says to Ness, "If we can connect any of these names with Capone then we can put Capone away."

From Quiz The Untouchables

Answer: pig

Ness decides not to shoot Nitti in cold blood, while he is hanging on a rope over the edge of a building. Ness pulls him back up to arrest him. But Nitti, not knowing when to shut up, delivers the comment that sends Ness over the edge emotionally, and Nitti over the edge literally.

From Quiz The Untouchables

Answer: Mayor of Chicago

Nitti's gun permit is written on the back of a business card.

14. In Eliot Ness' introspective moment near the end of the movie, he sits at his desk staring at news clippings and pictures, and ponders the happenings of the past weeks. He sums it up to himself with what simple phrase?

From Quiz The Untouchables

Answer: "So much violence."

Clearly this much violence was not what Eliot Ness signed up for. But in respect to Malone's spirit, he follows through to the end, and does what he has to do to get Capone. During the rest of the scene, Ness gives Malone's call box key and Saint Jude medallion to George Stone, saying "He'd have wanted a COP to have it." Stone is visibly moved at this gesture.

15. Which two of the "Untouchables" are the only ones seen having a drink of alcohol in the movie?

From Quiz The Untouchables

Answer: Wallace and Malone

How odd, they are also the only two "Untouchables" to die in the movie.

When the judge switches the juries, the defense lawyer takes it upon himself to change the plea to guilty. This enrages Capone, and causes a small riot in the courtroom.

17. What is Stone's real name?

From Quiz The Untouchables
