Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the 2006 movie "Night at the Museum", Ben Stiller starred as a night watchman at which museum?

Answer: American Museum of Natural History

The American Museum of Natural History is in New York, while the National is in Washington D.C. "Night at the Museum" also starred Dick van Dyke and Mickey Rooney as well as Robin Williams playing Teddy Roosevelt. It spawned two sequels, " Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" and "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb".

2. Genesis drummer/vocalist and solo star Phil Collins appeared in The Beatles 1964 movie "A Hard Day's Night".

Answer: True

Collins was just 13 years old when he appeared as an uncredited extra in the movie. He can be seen in among the screaming fans in the TV performance scene. "A Hard Day's Night" was nominated for two Academy Awards.

3. Which member of comedy troupe The Marx Brothers didn't appear in the 1935 comedy "A Night at the Opera"?

Answer: Zeppo

Zeppo (real name Herbert) left the Marx Brothers to pursue his love of engineering with his company Marman Products. The company's Marman Clamps were used during transportation of atomic bombs in WWII and are still used in vehicles used for spaceflight today. Karl Marx was the philosopher who co-wrote "The Communist Manifesto" with Friedrich Engels.

4. Name the movie. It starred Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger. It won five Oscars in 1968, including best actor award for Steiger. It gave us the memorable quote,"They call me Mister Tibbs!"

Answer: In The Heat of the Night

A timeless movie about a racist police chief and wrongful arrest which is still rated highly today as evidenced by its 96% on Rotten Tomatoes website. "In the Heat of the Night" was also the title of a 1979 Pat Benatar album, so you can now see where my mind went with the false answers; "Night Moves" was Bob Seger, "Undercover of the Night" was The Rolling Stones and AC/DC gave us "You Shook Me All Night Long".

5. After Barbra's brother Johnny is killed by a "ghoul", Barbra, Ben and five other people are trapped in a farmhouse by a large group of the aforementioned ghouls. What is this 1968 movie?

Answer: Night of the Living Dead

Although we know this movie today as the one that redefined the zombie movie, the living dead in it are never referred to as zombies, always ghouls. Although when first released it was heavily denounced for it's high gore content, it is now preserved in the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

6. "How Deep Is Your Love?" by The Bee Gees was the soundtrack stand out track for this 1977 movie starring John Travolta. What was the movie?

Answer: Saturday Night Fever

"Saturday Night Fever" is preserved by the National Film Registry and as well as making a superstar of John Travolta, massively popularised disco music in particular that of The Bee Gees.

Answer: Jane March

March also starred in erotic-thriller "The Lover", a 1992 movie starring Hong Kong actor "Big" Tony Leung Ka-fai. Willis was married to Demi Moore from 1987-2000. Together they starred in "Mortal Thoughts", "Charlie's Angels:Full Throttle" and "Beavis and Butt-Head Do America".

Answer: Hell Night

"Hell Night" has achieved a cult following among horror fans for its over the top performances and centres on four new fraternity pledges spending the night in a haunted house. In a wonderful Hollywood mystery twist kind of way, the actors that are responsible for the murders in the movie are not credited and their actual names are still unknown.

Answer: It Happened One Night

Claudette Colbert starred opposite Gable in this movie which counted both Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler among it's fans. It took another 41 years for a movie to win the big five Oscars, when in 1976, "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" managed it.

Answer: David Bowie

Featuring one of Bowie's many and varied acting roles, this movie also starred Jeff Goldblum and Dan Aykroyd. In acting circles, Jagger is best known for his title role in the 1970 movie "Ned Kelly", while McCartney followed in the footsteps of Jagger's bandmate Keith Richards with a cameo in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise. Boy George once appeared in an episode of TV show "The A Team" in which he got to drive Mr. T's prized van.
