Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When Jerry plays a life or death chess game to resolve his issues with the dumb actress in 'The Nose Job' episode, this is a takeoff of which Ingmar Bergman classic?

Answer: The Seventh Seal

In the film a knight who's just returned from the crusades to a plague-ravaged country challenges the Grim Reaper to a game of chess.

2. In 'The Raincoats' episode, Elaine's friend Aaron laments that if he had sold his ring, he could have bought Jerry's parents one more dinner. This is a reference to what film?

Answer: Schindler's List

3. In 'The Dealership' episode, Kramer and the car salesman 'push the envelope' on the gas tank, seeing how far they can go without refilling. This is a takeoff on what movie?

Answer: Thelma and Louise

'Thelma and Louise' is perhaps the best female 'buddy' move ever made. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis are unforgettable.

4. In 'The Maid' episode, Kramer is lost in New York and Jerry tells him on the phone, 'Stay alive...no matter what occurs, I will find you.' This is a line from what film?

Answer: Last of the Mohicans

Answer: The Elephant Man

Answer: Absence of Malice

The plot of 'Absence of Malice' is not entirely credible, but the film does raise important issues about freedom of the press and proper law enforcement techniques, as Paul Newman plays an innocent man whose reputation, and therefore his business, is destroyed by an overzealous prosecutor. Brimley plays the Assistant U.S. Attorney who comes to town to straighten out the mess.

7. In 'The Bookstore' episode, Uncle Leo has 'J-E-RR-Y' and 'H-E-LL-O' tattoed on his fingers, a la Robert Deniro in what film?

Answer: Cape Fear

Not one of Deniro's better roles.

8. The final scene in 'The Mom and Pop Store' episode, with Jerry and Kramer riding on a bus, is a takeoff of what Oscar-winning film?

Answer: Midnight Cowboy

Jon Voigt and Dustin Hoffman were memorable in 'Midnight Cowboy', and quite worthy of being emulated by the masters of comedy at the 'Seinfeld' show.

9. In 'The Millenium' episode, Jerry's girlfriend's stepmother hits on Jerry and he says 'You're trying to seduce me', a line from what famous 1960's film?

Answer: The Graduate

Another Dustin Hoffman role gets honored by the 'Seinfeld' folks.

Answer: The Great Escape

Who can forget the heart-wrenching scene in which the Donald Pleasance character, his eyesight gone, attempts to show that he can see Ok and therefore should be allowed to go with the others when they escaped from the POW camp.
