Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 'The fuse has been lit...'

Answer: Blown Away

Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones face off in this Boston-set action thriller about a bomb squad member with a dark past come back to haunt him. There's an elaborately fun set-up to trigger an explosion on a ship and Jones' dance steps are more than memorable. Forest Whitaker and Suzy Amis give memorable supporting performances.

2. 'Game over... You lose!'

Answer: Brainscan

Edward Furlong plays a boy who gets involved in a virtual reality game which turns out to be not so 'virtual'. It's kind of fun if you can overlook the grossly bad acting.

3. 'It will take you a million light years from home.'

Answer: Stargate

Kurt Russell and James Spader star as Americans who travel through a stellar gate into what seems to be an alternate reality, where humans resembling ancient Egyptians are effectively kept as slaves out of fear for the god Ra.

4. 'Adventure is the name of the game.'

Answer: Street Fighter

Jean-Claude Van Damme stars opposite Raul Julia in this video game-based action flick.

5. 'Not your typical father and son story.'

Answer: The Sum of Us

Jack Thompson plays the heterosexual father to Russell Crowe's homosexual son in this comedy about the search for love.

6. 'A district attorney out for a conviction. A new lawyer out of her league. A young boy who knew too much.'

Answer: The Client

Susan Sarandon, Tommy Lee Jones, and Brad Renfro (in his first film role) star in this thriller based on the novel by John Grisham.

7. 'Prepare yourself for the moment of truth.'

Answer: Death and the Maiden

Roman Polanski directed Sigourney Weaver and Ben Kingsley in this thriller. Weaver plays the wife of a politician, but an unexpected houseguest (Kingsley) brings up some old memories. She suspects Kingsley was part of the old government regime that raped and tortured her, and she takes him prisoner to try to uncover the truth.

8. 'Everyone hated this baseball legend. And he loved it.'

Answer: Cobb

Tommy Lee Jones stars as Ty Cobb, a baseball legend with a somewhat belligerent attitude.

9. 'From a secret world no one could see...came a crime no one could believe.'

Answer: Heavenly Creatures

Kate Winslet and Melanie Lynskey star as obsessive friends who kill Lynskey's mother to protect their own friendship. Peter Jackson ('Lord of the Rings') directed.

10. 'They needed a family. What they got was magic.'

Answer: Corrina, Corrina

Whoopi Goldberg and Ray Liotta star in this romantic comedy. It was written and directed by Jessie Nelson (also wrote such family dramas as 'Stepmom', 'The Story of Us' and 'I Am Sam').

11. 'A comedy on the edge.'

Answer: Mixed Nuts

Nora Ephron directed Steve Martin in this comedy about a bunch of different people at Christmas time.

12. 'How the East was won.'

Answer: The Cowboy Way

Woody Harrelson, Kiefer Sutherland, and Dylan McDermott star in this fish out of water comedy that puts rodeo stars in NYC.

13. 'Where there's a will...there's a relative.'

Answer: Greedy

Kirk Douglas plays a rich old man nearing death whose family members all want a piece of his estate. He toys with them and tests them, trying to figure out who actually cares about more than his money. Michael J. Fox plays a member of the family who has followed his heart into professional bowling (apparently an indication that he isn't greedy). Nancy Travis is Fox's girlfriend.

14. 'In a world without justice, one man was chosen to protect the innocent.'

Answer: The Crow

This dark film was directed by Alex Proyas. Brandon Lee starred, but his untimely and tragic death during filming overshadowed the film, making it a cult success. Lee plays a murdered man who returns from the dead to avenge the wrongs done him and his loved ones.

15. 'Something dangerous is in the air.'

Answer: Drop Zone

Wesley Snipes and Gary Busey face off in this skydiving action flick.

16. 'Romance was never more dangerous!'

Answer: I Love Trouble

Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte were endearing and charming as rival Chicago reporters who inevitably fall in love while discovering corporate corruption. There's a Vegas wedding, an unexpected lesson for a scout troop, and plenty of banter.

17. 'Sex is power.'

Answer: Disclosure

Demi Moore and Michael Douglas star in this Seattle-set adaptation of the Michael Crichton novel. Douglas is sexually harassed by his new boss (Moore) and tries to find retribution, but to no avail.

18. 'The greatest gambler in the West has finally met his match.'

Answer: Maverick

Mel Gibson stars as a con-man gambler who joins forces with a similar character in Jodie Foster. James Garner (who played the original Maverick character in a 1950s TV program) costars.

19. 'You can't get enough of a good thing... But first you have to find it.'

Answer: Milk Money

Melanie Griffith stars as a hooker with a heart of gold (sound a bit like 'Pretty Woman'?) in this family comedy. She's living as a guest in a kid's treehouse under the pretense of being his teacher. Meanwhile, the kid's dad (Ed Harris) is falling in love with her.

20. 'One man's mission to teach the few, the proud...the impossible!'

Answer: Renaissance Man

Danny DeVito plays an advertising man who loses his job and is forced to take a position teaching English to the dumb Army recruits. He starts teaching 'Hamlet' and finds things more than a little difficult. He ends up proving himself on the training course and his students perform 'Hamlet' in their own way. How very...touching.
