Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) doing at the hospital at the start of the film?

Answer: stealing an ambulance

McCauley intends to use the ambulance in the course of a robbery he and his crew are planning.

2. What rap star plays one of Detective Vincent Hanna's informants?

Answer: Tone Loc

Tone Loc: "I could get killed for telling you this."
Pacino: "You could get killed walking your doggie."

3. Why does Charlene Shiherlis (Ashley Judd) want to end her marriage to Chris (Val Kilmer)?

Answer: He's a compulsive gambler

Even when Chris is fortunate enough to pull off a big heist, he gambles away most of the money he steals.

4. What does McCauley tell his girlfriend Eady that he does for a living?

Answer: he sells metal

McCauley has no intention of getting seriously involved with Eady - his philosophy has always been "Never get attached to anything you are not prepared to walk out on in 30 seconds flat, if you feel the heat around the corner". But Eady (played by "Judging Amy" star Amy Brennerman) makes McCauley forget his own words of wisdom.

Answer: their recurring nightmares

McCauley has recurring dreams of drowning, while Hanna is constantly haunted by the victims of murders he's been assigned to work on.

6. Who plays McCauley's crew-mate Michael Cheritto, a devoted family man when he's not out committing robberies?

Answer: Tom Sizemore

Cheritto dotes on his own little girl, but coldly uses another little girl as a shield, during the course of the big bank holdup. Cheritto is shot and killed by Hanna.

7. When Vincent Hanna comes home early, he catches his wife Justine with a lover named Ralph. What does Hanna angrily assert that Ralph can never do?

Answer: watch Hanna's television

Vincent Hanna is too absorbed by his job ever to be a loving or attentive husband, and his wife Justine resents that. Their problems are still unresolved at the end of the film, but Vincent has already been through two divorces, and is clearly on the brink of a third.

8. What happens to Justine's daughter Lauren, that briefly brings Detective Hanna and Justine back together?

Answer: Lauren tries to commit suicide

Lauren, played by Natalie Portman, has a host of psychological and emotional problems that Vincent Hanna blames on her real father, Justine's ex-husband, who's never around.

9. Under what alias was Waingro registered at the Marquis Hotel?

Answer: Jameson

Neil McCauley could have gotten away cleanly, but his determination to kill Waingro was stronger than his desire to escape with Eady and the money.

10. After a lengthy chase at the airport, Vincent Hanna shoots Neil McCauley. As McCauley lays dying, what are his final words?

Answer: "I told you I'm never going back."

As McCauley lays dying, he extends his hand to Hanna, who takes it and holds it. McCauley had already spent 10 years of his life in prison, and he found death preferable to another stretch at San Quentin.
