Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Let's start with the most flaw-filled film of all: "Plan 9 From Outer Space". All of the following mistakes appear in the movie, but which one comes first?

Answer: The narrator, Criswell, gets mixed up about whether the events in the movie WILL happen or HAVE already happened

In Criswell's opening speech, he goes from talking about the terrible things that could happen in the future, to saying "Now let's go back to that fateful day...".

2. In "The Viking Queen" from 1967, one of the warriors raises his arm and you can see what?

Answer: His wristwatch

Another curious thing is that despite the title, not a single Viking appears in the movie. The queen is the ruler of a tribe of Celts.

3. Even James Bond sometimes messes up. Which of these mistakes, found in Bond-movies are from "Diamonds Are Forever"?

Answer: All of them

Bond's most famous mistake was when his car "changes sides". This is impossible, since the alley is just wide enough to drive on two wheels, but not to change over.

4. In "Gladiator", starring Russell Crowe, there is a fight that recreates the battle of Carthage. One chariot tips over and you can then see what out-of-place object?

Answer: A gas cylinder

As the chariot tips over, a piece of cloth flips up, revealing the gas can under the floorboards. The gas was used to fire a projectile into the ground, which made the chariot overturn.

Answer: Banging his head on the doorway

One of the best known movie errors ever, this happens when C-3PO and R2D2 are locked in the guard room while Han, Luke and Chewbacca are going to the detention level and Obi-Wan is on his way to shut down the tractor beam. The poor guy inside the uniform actually had to go to the hospital with a mild concussion after the accident.

6. The horror movie "Halloween" is set in Illinois, but was filmed in California. In the outdoor scenes, what can you see that reveals their actual location?

Answer: All of these

Not everybody knows that Southern Pacific does not run in Illinois, or how to tell license plates apart, but the palm trees are a dead giveaway.

Answer: It's headlights vary between being on and off

As the car comes toward the door, the desk seargeant is caught in the headlights. When the car smashes the doors, the lights are out. When the cars stops, the lights are once again on.

8. "Indiana Jones" time! In "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Indy is lowered into an Egyptian burial chamber that's filled with snakes. What famous film flaw occurred here?

Answer: You can see the safety glass between Harrison Ford and the snakes

This has been corrected in the new DVD release - but you can see it in the making of section. The "staff leaning against the wall"-mistake also happened in this movie, but in an earlier scene.

9. In "Terminator 2", Robert Patrick chases Edward Furlong with a truck, while Arnold follows on a Harley. What happens during this chase that is blatantly wrong?

Answer: The windshield of the truck falls out, then reappears and is broken again.

After the truck drives off the bridge, the windshield is seen popping out, then in a close-up it is back with just a few dents and cracks. Robert Patrick then pushes it out.

Answer: Morpheus alternately has his left hand behind his back and at his side

This is very obvious, as one shot is taken from behind Fishburne. You can clearly see his left arm on his back, but in the frontal wiews, it is hanging loosely at his side.
