Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This punk rock singer acted in three movies, 'Tapeheads', 'Terminal City Ricochet' and 'Highway '61'. He played an FBI agent, a policeman and a custom's agent respectively. These are quite strange choices for such an anti-authoritarian figure.
2. Which sullen rocker played a prisoner in 'Ghosts of the Civil Dead', a strange rocker in 'Johnny Suede' and himself in 'Der Himmel Über Berlin'?
3. Which female singer played in a Lars Von Trier movie, but found the experience so gruelling and emotionally draining that she swore never to act again? She also wrote the soundtrack for that film, released those songs in a different form as her new record, and wore a dress in the shape of a swan to the Oscars' Ceremony.
4. This rowdy, old, punk-rock singer has built himself a nice, little movie career. His speciality is playing cops. He was in 'The Chase', 'Heat', 'Johnny Mnemonic' and the very embarrassing 'Bad Boys II'.
5. This singer stuck out his tongue at Tom Cruise, and played a cowboy wearing a dress. He can also be seen in a wooden tub giving himself a good scrubbing, and he played an alien called Yelgrun in an episode of 'Star Trek - Deep Space Nine'. Who is he?
6. In 'Desperately Seeking Susan' Madonna wasn't the only singer/actor. He only appeared for a few seconds (lying naked on a bed and in a tiny flashback), but which legendary punk singer/poet played Madonna's ex-boyfriend?
7. Who makes a bit of a fool out of himself, by claiming he's developed a very special pair of glasses, in the movie 'Blue in the Face' (1995)?
8. 'I Shot Andy Warhol' (1996) told the story of writer Valerie Solanas and her not so positive experience with Warhol's Factory. It goes without saying that the band The Velvet Underground appeared in this movie. It was not the actual band though. What band, that was highly influenced by the Velvet Underground, saw their dream come true when they followed in the footsteps of their big idols and actually portrayed the Velvet Underground, playing at a party in the Factory?
9. Who played a scruffy butler in a Mexican village and appeared singing a duet with Burt Bacharach? He also made a quick appearance in 'Spice World'. No, it's not Gary Glitter.

In 1989 the grizzled, old rocker played the abusive boyfriend of Anne Archer in 'Love at Large', and in 1997 Jim Jarmusch made a documentary about him and his band called 'The Year of The Horse'.
11. This singer made small appearances in Roman Polanski's 'Pirates' (1986), 'Judge Dredd' (1995) and 'The Crow II' (1996). In 1997 he starred in 'Middleton's Changeling', a prestigious British costume drama which took seven years to film. But his moment-de-gloire came when he played a roadie who wakes up Bob Dylan in 'Hearts Of Fire' (1987).
