Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. It is 1805. The British ship HMS Surprise is pursuing a French vessel to stop Napoleon bringing his war to the Pacific. On board, however, the most interesting part of the voyage comes from the interaction between the ship's captain and the surgeon.

Through a series of interconnected stories, they attempt to pay him with stolen drug money...which actually belonged to him in the first place. A lot of the action centres around a pair of very valuable shotguns.
5. In this cult musical and satire of bad sci-fi B-movies, two ordinary kids, Brad and Janet, get a flat tyre one rainy night and go to a nearby castle to use the telephone.
