Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Filmed in the Utah desert, this 1956 Howard Hughes flop starring John Wayne and Susan Hayward gained a reputation for being cursed as the cast and crew began dying from cancer. What is the name of the movie?

Answer: The Conqueror

"The Conqueror" follows Genghis Khan's attempts to romance a captured princess against the backdrop of the Mongol conquests. Howard Hughes later bought every copy of the film for $12 million, keeping it out of circulation until after his death.
2. Plagued by bad timing and high expectations, Ron Maxwell's 2003 Civil War epic turned into an epic failure. Starring Robert Duvall, Jeff Daniels, and Stephen Lang, what movie generally needed God to recoup its filming budget?

Answer: Gods and Generals

Based on Jeff Shaara's novel of the same name, the movie was supposed to follow the events leading up to the Battle of Gettysburg, through the eyes of individual leaders. The movie's prospects began well enough, with the success of "Gettysburg". But with many production delays, including having to recast the major roles and problems with filming locations, the end result was perceived as a flop.
3. George Lucas once again teamed up with the writer from "American Graffiti", one of the best reviewed movies of all-time, to produce a 1986 movie based on a comic book character. When the feathers settled, the result was which poorly reviewed film?

Answer: Howard the Duck

The movie revolves around a human-size duck accidentally brought to Earth and the attempts to send him home until the evil Dark Overlord arrives and tries to take over the planet.
4. On many "so bad they're good" lists, Faye Dunaway's 1981 portrayal of Joan Crawford won nine Razzies, including Worst Picture of the Decade in 1990. Name this cult classic that sported one of the most well-known lines in movie history.

Answer: Mommie Dearest

Taken from Christina Crawford's biography of her mother, Joan Crawford, the movie focuses on Christina's childhood and inability to achieve her mother's obsessive desire for perfection.
5. Voted as the Golden Raspberry Award's Worst Drama of Our First 25 Years is John Travolta's 2000 movie based on a book about humanity's enslavement by aliens in the year 3000. Name the film.

Answer: Battlefield Earth

Based on the first half of L. Ron Hubbard's book of the same name, the movie takes place in the year 3000, after humanity has been enslaved by an alien race. The movie leaves the plot unfinished, as there was supposed to be a sequel that covered the events in the rest of the book.
6. Nominated for 10 Razzies, including Worst Actor nominations for Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chris O'Donnell, and George Clooney, is what 1997 movie? At least it didn't go on "forever".

Answer: Batman & Robin

Introducing Mr. Freeze and Poison Ivy, "Batman & Robin" continues to follow the troubles in Gotham City. After filming was complete, George Clooney supposedly said they just killed the "Batman" franchise. After the movie's release, he was also said to have refunded the ticket price to fans who saw the movie in theaters.
7. Featuring Ernest Borgnine, Walter Brennan, and Milton Berle is a 1966 movie about an actor's horrible behavior after learning he had been nominated for an Oscar. Not surprisingly, this movie never won an Oscar, nor did any of the actors. Name the movie.

Answer: The Oscar

Bob Hope appeared in the movie as the host of the Academy Awards. It was a fitting role - Hope had already hosted 14 Academy Awards at the time of the film's release. Today, the movie can be found in many "so bad they're good" lists, such as the Razzie Movie Guide's Top 10 Best Bad Movies of All Time.
8. What 1984 sci-fi movie, based on a series of science-fiction books by Frank Herbert and directed by David Lynch, was severely criticized for laughable special effects and a plot nearly impossible to understand if you weren't a fan of the books?

Answer: Dune

Based on the first book by Frank Herbert, "Dune" takes place in the year 10,191, and follows the attempts of a planet's native inhabitants to fight off invaders trying to monopolize their natural resources. Sequels were supposedly planned, but scrapped when David lynch's attempt failed miserably.
9. In 1980, a Western, directed by Michael Cimino, starring Kris Kristofferson, John Hurt and Christopher Walken, was released amid controversy and was harshly criticized. What is the name of this movie that was pulled from theaters after only about a week?

Answer: Heaven's Gate

Dramatizing the 1890 Johnson County War in Wyoming, the movie follows the efforts to protect immigrant farmers from wealthy, greedy cattlemen willing to do anything to take the land from the farmers, culminating in a pitched battle between the two groups.
10. Arnold Schwarzenegger's first movie, in 1970, is famous for horrible acting, Arnold's nearly incomprehensible dialogue, and of course absolutely no worthwhile plot. What is the name of this movie not usually included in lists of his popular films?

Answer: Hercules in New York

Hercules gets bored with life on Mount Olympus, and goes on vacation in New York City. Hilarity ensues, and we are left with this poor excuse for a movie. At least Schwarzenegger's accent got much, much better.
