All of the songs are heard in the movie. 'Ride Like the Wind', by Christopher Cross, is also the song that Sally dances to when Dickie helps her with her dance routine.

Answer: 50 million people used to watch him on TV. Now he parks their cars.

Although some movies have more that one tagline, 'Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star' only has one and I think that it's a great one, because it suits the movie perfectly. When we first meet Dickie he is parking cars, but by the end he get married to Grace and has his own TV show.

Sally says this to Dickie when he is telling her and Sam that when he was their age he did whatever he wanted. As she is chanting it Dickie dances to it, but when she has finished his reply is 'Whatever!'

8. What is the name of the movie that Dickie is trying to get the lead role in?

Answer: Mr. Blake's Backyard

In the end Dickie gets the part, but he turns it down and ends up with his own TV show, where Grace is the set designer, Sally is the choreographer and Sam writes the jokes.

9. When Dickie is using the hose to fill up his water bed, Sam tells him not to turn the hose on because he will get what kind of action?

Answer: A Water Wiggle

A Water Wiggle is a toy and Dickie has never heard of it. Sam and Sally tell him a list of other toys that he should know, but he doesn't know any of them. They name so many toys that he tells them to stop before he has to call the Guinness Book.

10. At the end of the movie who gets a guest appearence on Dickie's TV show, which leads to a spin off?

Answer: Cyndi

The episode that Cyndi starred in was called 'Cyndi Gets Poisoned Oak'. I hope that you enjoyed my quiz.
