Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Kelly, the paleontologist, came from what city?

Answer: New York City

She wasn't very happy about leaving, either.

2. What is the name of Bill Pullman's character?

Answer: Jack

And he's very sarcastic.

3. Where is the movie set?

Answer: Maine

"I can't go to Maine. I'm allergic to timber!"

4. Who plays the crazy old lady that lives by the lake?

Answer: Betty White

Hearing her cuss is just hilarious.

5. What kind of animal is the Fish & Game agent trying to tag at the beginning of the movie?

Answer: A beaver

This led to some interesting jokes.

6. What is Hector Cyr's occupation?

Answer: Mythology professor

He is a rich guy, but he's also a mythology professor.

7. How many people (humans only) are killed in the storyline? (Note: The storyline, not necessarily seen in the movie.)

Answer: 3

The Fish & Game scientist at the beginning, the deputy, and the old man who used to live by the lake.

8. Does one of the crocodiles die?

Answer: yes

There were really 2 adult crocodiles, plus some baby crocs. The characters (except for Betty White's) weren't aware of the second adult until they trapped the first one. The second surprised them and Hank shot its head off. No one found out about the babies though.

9. What did they use as bait?

Answer: cow

Hector says that the cow disappoints him.

10. A somewhat hard one: The lake in the movie was going to be named Lake Placid but that name was taken. What did they name it instead?

Answer: Black Lake

Because the water was so black. That's creativity right there.
