Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the fictional Iowa town where Roy grew up?

Answer: Ocelot

The opening credits include a caption that says "Ocelot, Iowa." Additionally, while looking for Ish, Roy and Claudia see a road sign with the name "Ocelot" on it. Roy had grown so ashamed of his past, he couldn't face his father.

2. Who is the sponsor for the first bowling tournament that Roy wins?

Answer: Odor Eaters

Roy is given a novelty check saying that he won the 1979 Odor Eaters Classic, which eventually sets up his meetings with Ernie McCracken.

3. What Pennsylvania city does Roy live in at the beginning of the film?

Answer: Scranton

The titles introduce Roy as living in Scranton, with several hypochondriac neighbors and an irritable landlady. He longs to escape, but is constantly behind on his rent.

4. What do Roy and Ish pretend to sell when trying to hustle players?

Answer: Dictionaries

One of the owners of a bowling alley asks them, "So you two are dictionary salesmen?" Roy replies, "You would be punctilious in assuming that." Ish seems a little naive to the whole scheme.

5. Which Major League Baseball player makes a cameo appearance?

Answer: Roger Clemens

Roger Clemens plays Skidmark, a man who punches out Ish after Ish danced with his wife. To keep up appearances, Roy gives Skidmark a high five, and has a beer with Skidmark and his friends.

6. What drink does the fake robber have thrown in his face?

Answer: Coffee

The robber (played by Willie Garson) assaults Roy's landlady, and Roy saves her by throwing coffee in his face. However, it was a set-up conceived by Roy to get an extension on the rent. When the landlady finds out, Roy throws hot coffee in the face of the would-be robber - again.

7. When Roy loses his hand during one match, what does he ask for from his opponent?

Answer: A Phillips head screwdriver

Roy's hand becomes dislodged during one match, and he turns to his opponent and says, "You wouldn't happen to have a Phillips head screwdriver, would you?" When the ball returns with Roy's hand still lodged in it, he says, "Never mind."

8. Which real-life bowler does Roy beat to reach the finals?

Answer: Mark Roth

It shows that Roy is facing Roth in the semifinals to face Ernie McCracken, also called "Big Ern." Roth, a real professional bowler, loses to Roy.

9. What is the name of Ish's love interest?

Answer: Rebecca

Although Ish seems to like Claudia, he feels a stronger bond to Rebecca, and defends her against Roy. Later on, she asks Ish to talk about the "missionary work" he did with Roy.

10. In the film, what group's song plays in the final match-up between Roy and Big Ern?

Answer: Electric Light Orchestra

Appropriately, their song "Showdown" plays during the match between Big Ern and Roy. Big Ern, ever the showman, flaunts his hips and does other odd boy motions to pump up the crowd, although it appears to hinder his play.
