Clint Eastwood Dust-up Trivia Quiz

Answer: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

This movie, featuring Eastwood as "the Good" Blondie, has three main characters chasing each other and being chased over the Texan wilderness in an effort to find a treasure chest full of Confederate gold. This western is so good, it enticed the great Quentin Tarintino to call it "The best directed film... ever!"

Answer: Pastor

In this western, Clint has to protect a young woman from would-be rapists. This is a very interesting movie where Clint acts like a guy you would actually like to know - but as a young woman finds out - not strike up a relationship with.

Answer: Dirty Harry

The first of a series that stayed consistently funny, shocking, and full of action, this movie really rocketed Clint to stardom as a hard-case homicide detective. He doesn't take guff from anyone as he works to stop an insane serial killer, while trying to work around the political red tape that surrounds the case. Watch "Dead Pool" the last movie in the series for a cameo by Jim Carrey as a satanist rock musician.

Answer: No

This enjoyable space thriller stars Clint as retired engineer Corvin who designs a space project that goes awry. He won't go up into space to fix it without his old crew.
"Space Cowboys" brings together four of the greatest character actors of the last three decades - Donald Sutherland, Tommy Lee Jones, James Cromwell, and Eastwood.

Answer: "Unforgiven" and "Million Dollar Baby"

"Unforgiven" also stars Gene Hackman as a sadistic sheriff who beats another man (Morgan Freeman) to death. Clint stars as the man who's out for revenge. "Million Dollar Baby" shows Hilary Swank as a boxer struggling with life and death issues and stars Clint as her boxing coach.

Answer: Bloodwork

"Bloodwork" is a very cool movie that was one of the first to have Clint Eastwood play a good-guy character. It follows his effort to find a serial killer who murders his best friend's sister and almost kills him. Jeff Daniel's intriguing turn as a beach-bum and "gasp" the villain, really raised my interest in his acting career.

Answer: Absolute Power

This is a nice performance in an overall decent flick. This political thriller features Gene Hackman as President Allen Richmond and Clint Eastwood as Luther Whitney.

Answer: Mystic River

"Mystic River" is a powerful tragedy. It tells about three childhood friends who grow apart from each other after something horrible happens in their childhood. It shows how they almost come back together after a terrible accident happens to one of the friends' daughters. If anything, watch this flick for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar-nominated role played by Sean Penn.

Answer: A Perfect World

This great thriller, about the kidnapping of a young boy and the sherriff who tries to get him back, has been considered one of Eastwood's finest works.

Answer: Italian

This is also one reason "A Fistful of Dollars", "For a Few Dollars More" and "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" are called Spaghetti Westerns. Clint is a great actor, I love his movies, and I hope you enjoyed this quiz in honor of a great man!
