Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When the soon to be named caveman, Link, emerged from his frozen hibernation in the backyard, what did he step on?

Answer: rake

He stepped on a rake. Link was walking around the backyard, not noticing what was lying on the ground. After he stepped on the rake, the handle flew up and hit him in the face, causing him to sit down quickly. Dave's dog then licked Link's face, seemingly to console him.

2. Link was stretching in the backyard following his long "sleep", but was startled by something in the sky. What was it that he heard?

Answer: helicopter

A helicopter can be threatening if you've never seen one. Everything in the 20th century was new and foreign to this very confused caveman. As the helicopter flew overhead, he screamed at it, then ran away.

3. When Link ventured out to the front of the house, who did he first encounter?

Answer: mailman

The first human Link saw was the mailman. They gave each other a startle, causing the mailman to quickly place the package he was carrying onto Link's shovel. Link inspected the package, removed the packaging twine, tossed the package, and kept the more useful twine.

4. A few moments after Link's first encounter with a modern human in front of the house, what caused him to fight back using his shovel?

Answer: dump truck

After the dump truck honked - and somewhat resembled a "steel mammoth on wheels" with its metal tusks - Link threw a shovel at it, screamed, and ran away, much like with the helicopter. Very funny!

5. When Dave and Stoney first saw their caveman alive in Dave's bedroom, how did they calm him down after the telephone scared him?

Answer: Bic lighter

After Link was startled by the telephone's busy signal, Stoney calmed him down by igniting the Bic lighter. Stoney replied, "Fire... Flamage." Link grabbed the lighter away from Dave to light it himself. They had to teach him how to use it. He liked the blue part of the flame.

6. Dave was about to use what item for self-defense when the telephone scared Link?

Answer: skateboard

Dave's skateboard was within reach. Moments before Link ignited the lighter in front of Link's face, Dave was prepared to defend himself by using his skateboard. This was the same skateboard Link was seen carrying when Dave tried to "set him free" near the end of the film.

7. What was the first word that Link repeated back from hearing Dave?

Answer: "No!"

"No!" Dave was trying to scold Link for almost starting a fire with the Bic lighter in his bedroom and said "No!" Link simply copied him. Dave referred to Link as a prehistoric pyromaniac. It was then that Dave convinced Stoney that they should teach Link how to be "normal" so that he wouldn't be taken away from them.

8. What song was played during the montage while Dave and Stoney cleaned up Link?

Answer: I'm Too Sexy

"I'm Too Sexy", by Right Said Fred, was played during the montage when Dave and Stoney gave Link a bath, brushed his teeth, cut his hair, and dressed him. Link then looked good enough for a picture before his first day of high school.

9. What was the name of the Morgans' dog?

Answer: Boris

Meet Boris the dog, played by real-life, Buffie the Dog. After Link entered the house to meet Dave's parents, Boris jumped on Link as if he were happy to see him. After all, they had met once before and Boris took a liking to him. We learned the dog's name when Mr. Morgan said, "Get down Boris! Boris, get down!"

10. Stoney told the Morgans that Link was an exchange student who arrived from where?

Answer: Estonia

Stoney quickly came up with the response of Estonia when Dave hesitated explaining where Link traveled from. They lied to Dave's parents about Link being an exchange student from Estonia. Estonia sounds like a perfectly good made-up country name for this film, since Stoney thought of it, but it is actually north of Latvia in Eastern Europe and west of Russia.
