Take this Cool Runnings Quiz! Average Trivia | Movies

Answer: Push Cart Driver

Sanka brags about being the best all through the movie. In fact the film actually begins with him in a Push Cart Derby.

Answer: He was tripped

In the final race at the Jamaican trials, Darice and Yul Brenner were tripped by Junior. They were not able to finish and never went to the Olympics.

Answer: He saw a picture of his dad and Irv Blitzer in Mr. Coolridge's office

He was in Mr. Coolidge's office, asking to rerun the race. He saw his dad in a picture with Irving Blitzer, with their gold medals around their necks. Irv had a theory about Jamaican sprinters being able to push the sled to a really fast start, because they were such fast sprinters.

Answer: False

Before the video there is a full room of people. After the informational video and Irv's comments there was nobody left but Sanka. The reason they left is because the video made bobsledding look very dangerous.

Answer: Arm wrestle

Darice ran the kissing booth and was caught by his wife.
Sanka sang on the street and was paid a dollar to shut up.
Junior sold his car, and Yul Brenner arm wrestled, beating everyone except one woman.

Answer: They crashed

As the Jamaicans were entering a tunnel they crashed. This particular part isn't shown, but is heard. The crash was likely caused by the wild turn and thankfully no one was hurt.

Answer: Yul

This is a great scene where Yul gives Junior a pep talk in the bathroom after he wimped out on Josef Gruel, who had intimidated the Jamaicans since their first bobsled ride. Junior comes out fired up but then he gets scared after Josef turned around and started pushing him. That's when Yul Brenner comes in and punches Jozef, which triggers the brawl.

Answer: Coke

After they qualify for the Olympics they paint their sled. The pop bottles are clearly labeled Coke.

Answer: Junior's mother

After they painted the sled they wanted to name it. Junior suggested Talula and everyone burst out laughing. After Junior mentioned that it was his mother's name they had a change of heart. Irv asked if anyone had any other ideas. That's when Darice came up with the name Cool Runnings which means "Peace be the journey."

Answer: No medal

They could have possibly won a medal, but in the final race their rickety sled lost a screw on the ski and they crashed. Then they picked up the sled and carried it to the finish line as everyone clapped and cheered.
