Answer: Mongrels Rule

You can find this message written on the school bus window at the beginning of the "Head Over Heels" scene, when Donnie jumps out of the bus' back door. The "Head Over Heels" scene is probably one of my favorite scenes in the movie, it conveys so much information without any of the characters uttering a word.

Answer: His Religion teacher

Dr. Monittoff (Noah Wyle) is Donnie's science teacher, Karen Pomeroy (Drew Barrymore) is his English teacher, and Kitty Farmer (Beth Grant) is Donnie's gym teacher. We never meet Donnie's religion teacher, although some of the audience might presume that this is Kitty Farmer's role in the movie.

In fact, the reason that Kitty is reduced to teaching "Life Lessons" on the chalkboard is because the gymnasium has been flooded, and regular physical education classes cannot be conducted.

Answer: Red

Frank's car can first be seen right in the beginning of the movie, when Donnie is riding home from his sleepwalking incident. Donnie rides his bike right past Frank's car, after Frank has dropped off Elizabeth at the Darko house.

Answer: "The Reflex" by Duran Duran

"The Killing Moon" appears at the beginning of the movie when Donnie awakes and rides his bicycle home. "Head Over Heels" plays as the audience is introduced to most of the movie's characters, including Kitty Farmer, Dr. Monittoff, and Karen Pomeroy. "Under the Milky Way" is playing at the Darko's Halloween party.

A Duran Duran song is featured in the movie, but the song is "Notorious", not "The Reflex". "Nototrious" is the song that Sparkle Motion perform to.

Answer: The Last Temptation of Christ

This "Last Temptation of Christ" is a great reference by Richard Kelly, the director of "Donnie Darko", considering the two movie's obvious parallels. Also, don't forget to check out the miss-it-if-you-blink omage to "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" towards the end of the movie.

Answer: 7:00 p.m.

One of the funnier scenes in the movie, as Kitty Farmer manages to turn a PTA meeting concerning school vandalism into a passionate diatribe about book banning and pornography.

Answer: Dr. Thurman

Dr. Lilian Thurman is played by Katharine Ross. Originally, Richard Kelly wanted Donnie to admit to Dr. Thurman that he has amorous intentions towards Alyssa Milano, but when Milano did not permit Kelly to use her name in the movie, they decided to go with Christina Applegate instead.

Answer: Jumping on a trampoline

Samantha Darko is Donnie's younger sister and the first time that we see her she is jumping on a trampoline in the Darko's backyard. Donnie's mom, Rose Darko, is the character we see reading at the beginning of the movie. She's reading none other than Stephen King's "It", which is most likely a foreshadowing of events to come...think about Frank's friends' costume.

Answer: Gretchen

The mirror in Gretchen's locker can be seen in the "Head Over Heels" scene. Also note the "What Would Satan Do?" sticker pasted inside of Ricky's locker.

Answer: 5

Can you name all five members of Sparkle Motion? They are none other than Samantha Darko, Beth Farmer (Kitty's daughter), Susie Bates, Emily Bates, and Suzy Bailey. Poor Cherita...I still think she should have beaten Sparkle Motion in the talent contest.
