Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What's the name of the band formed by Chazz (Brendan Fraser), Rex (Steve Buscemi), and Pip (Adam Sandler) in 1994's 'Airheads'?

Answer: The Lone Rangers

It's pointed out that since there are three of them, they're not exactly 'lone.'

2. At the beginning of 1985's 'Back To the Future,' we see Marty McFly's band auditioning for a gig at their high school. What is this band's name?

Answer: The Pinheads

Marty (Michael J. Fox) states the band's name just before ripping into a heavy version of the movie's theme song: Huey Lewis and the News' 'The Power Of Love.' The geeky-looking man with the bullhorn who rejects The Pinheads almost immediately is, of course, played by Huey Lewis himself.

3. And while we're on the subject of Michael J. Fox, in 1987's 'Light Of Day,' Fox portrays a young man in a band with his sister (Joan Jett). What is this band called?

Answer: The Barbusters

Fiction bled over into reality a bit when The Barbusters' version of the Bruce Springteen-written 'Light Of Day' was released as a single and hit the charts.

Answer: Mystery

And yes, the rumors are true -- that IS Julia Roberts playing second fiddle to 'Mallory' from 'Family Ties.' Funny how times change.

Answer: Pez People

The quirky video gets Nick noticed by a Hollywood studio.

6. In 1984's 'Streets of Fire,' Diane Lane plays Ellen Aim, a rock and roll superstar. What's the name of the band that ably backs her (dubbed-in) power vocals?

Answer: The Attackers

We see posters on walls throughout the movie advertising 'Ellen Aim and The Attackers.'

7. In 1995's 'Empire Records,' slightly-addled music store clerk Mark (Ethan Embry) expresses a desire to start a band. What name does he think this band will have?

Answer: Marc

Mark: 'I think I'd call it 'Marc'...but with a 'C,' you know? Since my name is with a 'K'?'

Answer: Shrimp Shack Shooters

The Wonders are informed by their manager (Tom Hanks) that they get to keep their 'Cap'n Geech' costumes. =)

Answer: MagicTones

It doesn't take much persuasion from Jake and Elwood to get the MagicTones to pack in their hotel bar act and re-assemble the Blues Brothers Band.

Answer: 'Body Heat'

Barry: 'We briefly considered calling ourselves 'Kathleen Turner Overdrive'.'
