Question 1 of 10
1. The 1996 movie "Mars Attacks!" taught us one very important thing. Irritating music is death to big-brained aliens. Who sang the song which eventually saved mankind? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. The 2005 "War of the Worlds" directed by Steven Spielberg taught us that sometimes we don't need to do anything to save mankind. Sometimes, our earth can protect itself, thank you very much! This is mainly because the aliens are susceptible to what? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. "The Blob" (1958) featured a large gelatinous creature which threatened mankind with its sheer hugeness! Luckily for us, its bodily structure lacks a tolerance to icy coldness. If the blob ever threatened our existence, we learned that we can defeat it with which common item from the movie? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. "The Faculty" starring Elijah Wood taught us something that we already know. What can kill humans and aliens alike? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. "Independence Day" is a classic example of aliens ruining our human society. Luckily for us, we now know that alien technology can be the instrument of their demise. What did Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum use to ultimately stop the destruction of all mankind? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. A butt-kicking Will Smith and an all-knowledgeable Tommy Lee Jones showed us the secret government organization already keeping us safe from any alien troubles. But if there's one thing we can learn from "Men in Black", it's that aliens can look just like you or me (albeit uglier). What earth animal did the evil alien resemble in the movie? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Which sports athlete saved "Looney Tunes" characters from alien enslavement in the 1996 movie "Space Jam" by beating them in a less-than-ordinary basketball game?

Answer: (Two words, Chicago Bulls (first and last name or last name only))
Question 8 of 10
8. Now, don't start thinking that all aliens are bad. In fact, Christopher Reeves' Superman saved humanity from enslavement by the evil Zod in "Superman II". By what means did he manage to defeat him? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. In "The Fifth Element" (1997), Bruce Willis showed us that sometimes saving the world requires something a little special. With the aid of fire, earth, wind, and water, the planet-destroying alien villain was obliterated once and for all. Oh, but those were only four of the elements used, weren't they? What was the fifth? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. Finally, the mother of all alien movies, "Alien". Sigourney Weaver may have saved the day in the end, but we can all learn something very important from the rest of the movie. If we ever see an alien's egg laying on the ground, what simple way can we avoid having our bodies used as embryonic chambers? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The 1996 movie "Mars Attacks!" taught us one very important thing. Irritating music is death to big-brained aliens. Who sang the song which eventually saved mankind?

Answer: Slim Whitman

Slim Whitman was an American country music singer and songwriter who was a self taught left-handed guitarist. Gene Autry and Hank Williams are also country music artists, but Chumbawamba is an English band best known for their song "Tubthumping". "Mars Attacks!", on the other hand, featured an all-star cast with the likes of Jack Nicholson, Michael J. Fox, Pierce Brosnan, and those big-brained aliens launching an attack on Earth.
2. The 2005 "War of the Worlds" directed by Steven Spielberg taught us that sometimes we don't need to do anything to save mankind. Sometimes, our earth can protect itself, thank you very much! This is mainly because the aliens are susceptible to what?

Answer: Common viruses and bacteria

"The War of the Worlds" was published in 1898 by H.G. Wells. Since its publication, several films, comic books, and television series have been based on its plot as well as an infamous radio show where listeners believed an alien invasion was actually happening. The 2005 movie starred Tom Cruise and Tim Robbins and gave a gruesome but jaw-dropping edition of the story.
3. "The Blob" (1958) featured a large gelatinous creature which threatened mankind with its sheer hugeness! Luckily for us, its bodily structure lacks a tolerance to icy coldness. If the blob ever threatened our existence, we learned that we can defeat it with which common item from the movie?

Answer: A fire extinguisher

In the movie, Steve McQueen played Steve Andrews, the man who discovered the blob's susceptibility to cold. At the end of the movie, the blob was transported to the Arctic so it could bother mankind no more. The end?
4. "The Faculty" starring Elijah Wood taught us something that we already know. What can kill humans and aliens alike?

Answer: Drugs

Robert Rodriguez ("Desperado", "From Dusk Til Dawn") directed this 1998 horror/sci-fi film. Elijah Wood, Josh Hartnett, and Jordana Brewster must save their high school from yet another alien invasion. Luckily, they discover the alien beings have an unusual allergy to a homemade drug brewed by Josh Hartnett's character.
5. "Independence Day" is a classic example of aliens ruining our human society. Luckily for us, we now know that alien technology can be the instrument of their demise. What did Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum use to ultimately stop the destruction of all mankind?

Answer: A computer virus

Though "Independence Day" received mediocre reviews from critics, the film was a box office success and the highest grossing film of 1996. After Bill Pullman gave an inspiring speech as President of the United States, Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum were able to upload a computer virus to the mother ship. Though panned as impossible by critics and scientists alike, it's nice to keep our options open, right?
6. A butt-kicking Will Smith and an all-knowledgeable Tommy Lee Jones showed us the secret government organization already keeping us safe from any alien troubles. But if there's one thing we can learn from "Men in Black", it's that aliens can look just like you or me (albeit uglier). What earth animal did the evil alien resemble in the movie?

Answer: A cockroach

"Men in Black" was produced by Steven Spielberg but directed by Barry Sonnenfeld ("The Addams Family"). The elusive men in black save the world from alien threats everyday, and use a neuralyzer to wipe the minds of any Earthlings who happen to see alien activity occur. Still, perhaps one day the alien threat will be too big. For this reason, we must learn to defend ourselves.
7. Which sports athlete saved "Looney Tunes" characters from alien enslavement in the 1996 movie "Space Jam" by beating them in a less-than-ordinary basketball game?

Answer: Michael Jordan

"Space Jam" featured an alien (voiced by Danny Devito) who owned theme parks in another dimension. To amass even larger sums of money, he tried to enslave all of the "Looney Tunes" characters here on Earth. What does this mean for us? No one (human or toon alike) is safe from alien invasions!
8. Now, don't start thinking that all aliens are bad. In fact, Christopher Reeves' Superman saved humanity from enslavement by the evil Zod in "Superman II". By what means did he manage to defeat him?

Answer: By taking away his powers

General Zod was played magnificently by Terence Stamp. Unfortunately for him, he was standing on the wrong side of the humanization device in the Fortress of Solitude. Superman took away his powers and was able to defeat him easily afterward.
9. In "The Fifth Element" (1997), Bruce Willis showed us that sometimes saving the world requires something a little special. With the aid of fire, earth, wind, and water, the planet-destroying alien villain was obliterated once and for all. Oh, but those were only four of the elements used, weren't they? What was the fifth?

Answer: Leeloo

I hope that didn't throw you too much. Leeloo, who became the fifth element, was played by Milla Jovovich. The movie showcased a beautiful yet dingy view of New York City in the future. Perhaps Bruce Willis is awesome enough to save us in the case of a real alien invasion.
10. Finally, the mother of all alien movies, "Alien". Sigourney Weaver may have saved the day in the end, but we can all learn something very important from the rest of the movie. If we ever see an alien's egg laying on the ground, what simple way can we avoid having our bodies used as embryonic chambers?

Answer: Close our mouths

After bursting from an alien egg, the "facehugger" attaches itself to a human's face and implants a seed within the chest of the person. When the seed has matured, a baby alien bursts from the person's chest.

I hope you have learned from this collection of ten movies how to defend yourself if aliens attack Earth. After all, if you can't learn it from movies, where else are you going to learn it?
