Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does Dr. Carl Maya take to the Marine Biology Institute?

Answer: fossilized clawed hand

He had found a fossilizd clawed hand that he couldn't identify.

2. Where was the Black Lagoon located?

Answer: jungles of Brazil

It was a mysterious lake in the jungles of Brazil.

3. What do Luis and Manuel, the Creature's first victims, do to cause it to attack?

Answer: throw a kersoene lamp at it

The burning oil splashed the Creature, so it attacked and killed them both.

4. Who headed the expedition that returned with Dr. Maya to the Black Lagoon?

Answer: Mark Williams

Williams was the head of the Marine Biology Institute and the head of the expedition, too.

5. What does Capt. Lucas say will catch the creature?

Answer: stunning chemicals in the water

Can you imagine filling the lagoon full of stunning chemicals? For Marine biologists, they were awfully hard on the fish!

6. The part of Kay Lawrence was played by Julia Adams.

Answer: True

This lovely actress was born Betty May Adams on Oct. 17, 1926 in Waterloo, Iowa. Universal changed her name from Betty to Julia and then to Julie, so according to imdb.com, she has movie credits under all three names. It was as Julia Adams that she was credited in "Creature from the Black Lagoon".

7. Who played the part of Dr. Mark Williams?

Answer: Richard Denning

Richard Carlson played David, Moreno played Dr. Maya, and if you said Robert Armstrong, run right over and take my 'King Kong' quiz!

8. What is the name of Capt. Lucas' boat?

Answer: the Rita

'Rita' was painted on the side in big letters.

9. What does the Creature do to Kay?

Answer: kidnaps her

It's the old Beauty and the Beast syndrome. It apparently falls in love with Kay and totes her off. It didn't take a lesson from poor Kong's bad end, apparently.

10. What year was this movie made?

Answer: 1954

It was relesaed in 1954, and was formated in 3-D. I never saw it in 3-D, but I bet it was fun!

11. Ben Chapman was in the Creature suit on land, but did he do the Creature's underwater scenes?

Answer: No

Ricou Browning was the Creature in the underwater scenes. He was not only an expert swimmer but could hold his breath underwater for a long time. Browning also did the underwater Creature scenes in the two sequels.

12. What happened to Dr. John Thompson?

Answer: the Creature attacked him

Remember him all wrappped up like a mummy, the Creature's hand reaching for him through the porthole? It really didn't like Thompson, did it?

13. Does the Creature live at the end of the movie?

Answer: Yes

It was pretty shot up but lives to be captured in 1955's "Revenge of the Creature". This time the Creature is taken from his Black Lagoon home, hauled to Florida, and kidnaps a beautiful woman. (Sound familiar?)

14. How many people does the Creature kill? (Do not count Dr. Thompson because we never see him actually die.)

Answer: five

It kllled Luis and Manuel at the camp, the deckhands Chico and Zee, and Dr. Williams. Dr. Williams had shot it with a harpoon gun, so it had a real grudge there.

15. And, lastly, can you tell me the name of the sequel that came out a year later?

Answer: Revenge of the Creature

There were three "Creature" movies, but I thought the last one (when it was turned into a half-human lung breather, "The Creature Walks Among Us") to be a sorry way for the Creature to end up, didn't you? Thank you for taking my quiz on one of my favorite movies.
