Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Reeves and Charlize Theron costarred in the weepy terminally-ill-girl-changing-the-world-one-person-at-a-time movie 'Sweet November' in 2001. Theron had previously played Reeves' ill-fated wife in which movie?

Answer: The Devil's Advocate

Reeves and Theron had paired up on 'The Devil's Advocate' (1997), though if you've seen 'The Astronaut's Wife' (1999), you'd know that Theron's character there was essentially the same victim-wife role. Theron then had a brief shining moment with 'The Cider House Rules' (1999) before returning to dross like 'Reindeer Games' (2000) and 'Sweet November'.
2. Reeves and German character actor Udo Kier first worked together in 'My Own Private Idaho' (1991). Then they were both cast in 'Even Cowgirls Get the Blues' (1993). What later movie were they again both cast in?

Answer: Johnny Mnemonic

Their final pairing was in the bomb 'Johnny Mnemonic' (1995). Maybe that's when Kier lost faith. Kier, a Lars Von Trier mainstay, went on to such luminous work as 'Breaking the Waves' (1996), 'Shadow of the Vampire' (2000), and 'Dancer in the Dark' (2000).
3. Reeves starred in 1986 teen drama 'River's Edge', which boasted supporting work by a well-known Hollywood bad boy. This actor later teamed up with Reeves again as the star's nemesis in an action film. Who is this actor?

Answer: Dennis Hopper

Hopper, perhaps most memorable from his terrifying interpretation of Frank Booth in David Lynch's 'Blue Velvet' (1986), played the villainous Howard Payne in 'Speed' (1994). Unfortunately, Hopper followed up that film's blockbuster success with 'Waterworld' (1995).
4. In 1993, Uma Thurman starred in 'Even Cowgirls Get the Blues', in which Reeves had a supporting role. They had worked on a film together prior to this, though. Their previous effort was later remade as what successful film?

Answer: Cruel Intentions

Reeves worked with Thurman first on 'Dangerous Liaisons' (1988), a story which was rehashed in the exceedingly popular teen flick 'Cruel Intentions' (1999) with Selma Blair in the Thurman role.
5. Delroy Lindo, a talented British actor, first appeared in a Reeves film when he forced Cameron Diaz to the altar in 'Feeling Minnesota' (1996). Later, Lindo played Reeves' first (and seemingly impossible) client at a new job. What movie was that in?

Answer: The Devil's Advocate

Lindo played Phillipe Moyez, a New Yorker in need of a lawyer to protect his right to violate health codes in the name of religion. Reeves' character of course won the case and secured his position at the devil's law firm, a dubious honor, as he soon discovered.
6. Granted, they aren't the same person, but they are in a band together. Both Flea and Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers were in movies with Reeves. What movies were they?

Answer: 'My Own Private Idaho' and 'Point Break'

Reeves worked with Flea on 'My Own Private Idaho' (1991). He worked with Flea's bandmate Anthony Kiedis on 'Point Break' (1991).
7. From Flea Liedis let's move to River Phoenix (Flea rode in the ambulance with Phoenix when he died). Phoenix and Reeves appeared in three movies together. Which of these was NOT one of their joint ventures?

Answer: Parenthood

Reeves and Phoenix got three movies in before Phoenix's tragic passing, first the hit-man comedy 'I Love You to Death' (1990), then 'My Own Private Idaho' (1991) and finally 'Even Cowgirls Get the Blues' (1993), though Phoenix's role in the last film was only an uncredited cameo.
8. Joe Charbanic had a small role in the Reeves film 'The Last Time I Committed Suicide' (1997). Three years later, Charbanic cast Reeves as the star of his directorial debut. What movie was this?

Answer: The Watcher

Charbanic must have had a passable experience with Reeves on 'Suicide' to put his directorial debut on the actor's shoulders, particularly with the actor playing against type as a villain (Reeves played against type in 'Suicide' as well, so perhaps that's where the faith came from).
9. Reeves had a small role in 1986's 'Youngblood', which starred an actor who later reteamed with Reeves as the criminal being pursued by Reeves' FBI agent. What movie was this later pairing?

Answer: Point Break

The other actor was Patrick Swayze. In 1991 he and Reeves starred opposite one another in the surfing crime film 'Point Break'. Swayze's career declined in the 90s from his 80s-inspired 'Dirty Dancing'-'Ghost' pinnacle, but he did turn out some self-effacingly brilliant work in 2001's 'Donnie Darko'.
10. Reeves had roles in 'My Own Private Idaho' (1991) and "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues' (1993), which were directed by the same person. Who was this director who employed Reeves twice?

Answer: Gus Van Sant

Van Sant went on to direct the Nicole Kidman-driven 'To Die For' (1995) and 'Good Will Hunting' (1997).
