Vinny and Lisa drove a red Cadillac. Vinny's cousin William drove
the metallic mint-green 1964 Buick Skylark.

Answer: Pink

Lisa brought her pink camera with her on their trip to Alabama. Some of the photos she took wound up becoming critical pieces of evidence, ultimately setting the defendants free.

Answer: rooster crowing

At the first place they stayed, a loud whistle went off at the local saw mill. They were next awakened at the Parker Hotel by the sound of
pigs squealing across the street. They then moved to a different hotel, where a freight train woke them up. Finally, it was a screech owl that startled them when they were staying at the cabin in the woods.

Answer: Norton

In several of the prison scenes there were protesters waving signs to save Norton from the electric chair. In one of the prison cell scenes, the lights dimmed while William and Stan remarked something to the effect: "...There goes Norton."

Answer: $200,000

The judge set the defendants' bail at $200,000, and at the same time
set a $200 bail for Vinny for his contempt-of-court infraction.

Answer: James A. Trotter III

James A. Trotter III was the name of the prosecutor. Gibbons was the
public defender.

Answer: He stuttered

John Gibbons was the public defender initially hired by Stanley when he lost confidence in Vinny's abilities. As we saw in his opening statement, Gibbons had a pretty bad case of stuttering.

Answer: Haller

The Honorable Judge Chamberlain Haller as played by the late Fred Gwynne (Herman Munster himself). This was Fred Gwynne's last movie appearance before he passed away on July 2, 1993.

Answer: Yale

We get a glimpse of his diploma hanging above his desk in the scene
where the judge is evaluating Vinny's credentials. Vinny went to
the Brooklyn Academy of Law and it took him 6 attempts to finally pass the bar.

Answer: Sallo

When the judge advised that the NY courts had no record of him, he
began to make up names. On one occasion, he picked the name of a NY
attorney who went by the name of Jerry Gallo. Unfortunately, Vinny did not realize that Jerry Gallo had passed away prior to their trip to Alabama.

Answer: None

None is the correct answer. Although Vinny had practiced Personal Injury law back in NY, he never actually tried a case in open court before. This was the first case he had that actually went to trial.

Answer: Hunting

Vinny and Trotter went hunting, much to the dismay of Lisa who hated the thought of people harming the poor innocent cute little deer.

Answer: Chess

In one scene, we see the judge playing a game of Chess with himself
as Vinny enters the chambers. Vinny wound up knocking over most
of the chess pieces in that scene.

Answer: George Wilbur

George Wilbur was the FBI instructor who provided testimony that the tire composition found at the murder scene matched the same type and size as the tires found on the defendants' car (The Michelin Model XGV 75R/14). Jimmy Willis was the convenience store clerk who was murdered.

Answer: Bruce McGill

Bruce McGill played Sheriff Dean Farley. He also played the role of Daniel Simpson Day ("D-Day") in the 1978 classic "Animal House".

Answer: True

During the voir dire proceeding, Ms. Vito pointed out that Chevy did
not offer a 327 engine in 1955 and that it wasn't until 1964 that Chevy offered the 327 with a four-barrel carb for that type of vehicle.

Answer: Positraction

Aside from the fact that one is a 1964 Buick and the other was a 1963
Pontiac Tempest, the most significant difference was that the car that left the skid marks had a Positraction rearend, as evidenced by the fact that there were two equal length skid marks. The defendants' car did not have a Positraction rear differential.

Answer: Georgia

The real killers were apprehended in Jasper County, Georgia, driving a metallic mint-green 1963 Pontiac Tempest. In their possession was a .357 Magnum, the same caliber gun used to kill Jimmy Willis.
