Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the only gangster movie made by the Coen brothers?

Answer: Millers Crossing

Practically ignored upon its release, this movie scrutinizes the entire tradition and conventions of the classic gangster movies, but goes beyond what 'nouvelle vague' film director and movie critic Francois Truffaut called an 'hommage.' Many, now consider it the most perfect film to be made by the Coen brothers.

2. Who played the enigmatic lead in the Abel Ferrara gangster movie 'King of New York'?

Answer: Christopher Walken

Walken never bores, but this film misses being a classic.

3. Who played the role of the crack czar in 'New Jack City'?

Answer: Wesley Snipes

This movie made Snipes a star, another instance in which the main actor is better than the film.

4. In 'Scarface,' how does Tony Montana (Al Pacino) explain to Mr. Sosa that the hit did not go as planned because he had just whacked Sosa's hit man?

Answer: 'He refused to follow my orders, so I had to cancel his contract.'

This is one of the few phrases that Tony speaks without using the 'f' word.

5. What was the title of the movie in which Tim Roth played Dutch Schultz?

Answer: Hoodlum

In 'Hoodlum,' Laurence Fishburne played Harlem gangster Bumpy Johnson and Andy Garcia played Lucky Luciano.

6. What group of New York gangsters was depicted in the 1990 movie 'State of Grace'?

Answer: The Westies

The Westies were (are?) Irish-American gangsters.

7. In 'State of Grace' (1990) who played the deranged gang member who is murdered by his own brother?

Answer: Gary Oldman

This is one of Oldman's first American films. Harris played his fratricidal {brother;} Turturro played Penn's police {contact;} and Robin Wright (who became Mrs. Penn) played the sister of Harris and Oldman.

8. The mobsters in 'Once Upon a Time in America' belong to what ethnic group?

Answer: Jewish

This was Sergio Leone's last film and, despite its length and production problems, considered a true classic of the genre.

9. What was the nickame given to the Robert De Niro character in 'Once Upon a Time in America'?

Answer: Noodles

The young Noodles displayed a penchant for crime, opium, and rape. At the end of the film, he is an old man, humbled by memory and regret.

10. Noodles' youngest friend is shot by Bugsy in 'Once Upon a Time in America.' What are the last words he whispers to Noodles?

Answer: 'Noodles, I slipped.'

The re-creation of New York City circa 1918, when this sequence was staged, is one of the best elements in the film.
