The Wicker Man Trivia Questions
1. What was tied with string to a nail in Rowan Morrison's school desk ?

From Quiz The Wicker Man

Answer: A Beetle

Tying a beetle up like that for amusement isn't my idea of fun. As Rowan Morrison's schoolfriend said, "Poor old thing". Sgt Howie: "Then why in God's name do you do it girl?"

Christopher Lee was so desperate to do the film he agreed to do it for nothing.

Answer: Scottish

Summerisle was Scottish, geographically speaking, which of course still put it under the jurisdiction of British law officials.

4. Which actor was originally asked to play Sgt. Howie?

From Quiz The Wicker Man

Answer: Michael York

It's pretty hard to imagine anyone else playing the part as well as Edward Woodward. The same goes for Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, John Hurt as John Merrick (the Elephant Man) and Richard Attenborough as Reg Christie.

From Quiz The Wicker Man

Answer: 'The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring'

Lee was a memorable mad-scientist in 'Gremlins 2,' and he made a cameo as a judge in Tim Burton's 'Sleepy Hollow,' but his most recent turn as a baddie was his scene-stealing performance as Saruman the White in 'Fellowship of The Ring.' 'Attack of The Clones' won't be out until early 2002.

In the first episode of 'The League Of Gentlemen,' when the policeman comes looking for a boy, a lot of the dialogue and theme of the scene is based on 'The Wicker Man'.

17. Finish this portion of the song being chanted by the Summerisle schoolchildren during their dance around the Maypole: '...and on that bed there was a girl. And on that girl there was a _____...'

From Quiz The Wicker Man

Answer: Man

The eerie Maypole song charts the course of time, in accordance with the 'circle of life' beliefs of the neo-Pagan religion on Summerisle.

18. Which musician was responsible for most of "The Wicker Man"'s amazing soundtrack?

The soundtrack to "The Wicker Man" is as important to the film as any of the cast, locations and production team. This was an excellent piece of work by musician Paul Giovanni and many feel, his masterpiece.

19. Which company distributed the movie?

From Quiz The Wicker Man

Answer: British Lion

British Lion distributed the movie, although they almost didn't after they were taken over in 1974, as the new boss didn't like the film. Still, someone must have managed to persuade him otherwise.

20. According to the schoolteacher, what is the only circumstance under which the students are taught anything of Christianity?

From Quiz The Wicker Man

Answer: 'As a comparitive religion'

The children of Summerisle are primarily schooled in the island's neo-pagan beliefs, but apparently learn the basics of Christianity for comparison. Ironically, I have to wonder if most Christian schools would extend the same courtesy to the kind of neo-Paganism practiced on Summerisle (that whole human-sacrifice thing would be kind of a stumbling block, of course).

21. Which character said the line, "You'll never understand the nature of true sacrifice"?

From Quiz The Wicker Man

Answer: May Morrison

I think Sgt Howie finally understood what May Morrison meant. True sacrifice for her meant something entirely different to what he thought. (for those who haven't seen the movie, I won't reveal what true sacrifice means.)

22. How much additional footage of the film was added for the DVD?

From Quiz The Wicker Man

Answer: A fertility rite

Exactly how leaping nude over an open flame is supposed to make one fertile is never quite 'fleshed out,' pardon the pun.

24. What is the name of the song that Lord Summerisle and Miss Rose sing together?

"'Fair maid,' says he, 'your kettle's cracked, the cause is plainly told, there has so many nails been broke, mine own could not take hold'".

From Quiz The Wicker Man

At the start of the film, the most anyone on the British mainland seems to know of Summerisle is that the locals farmed some very nice apples.
