Name That Nicolas Cage Movie Trivia Quiz

Answer: Racing With The Moon

This was a film that was set in the era before World War 2. It was released theatrically in March of 1984. Most of it was set and filmed near Mendocino California. The film was not profitable for Paramount Pictures. Cage and Penn both are in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High". McGovern was not in that movie however. Cage's uncle, Francis Ford Coppola made "One From The Heart" though Cage was not in it.

He was in Coppola's "The Cotton Club". McGovern was nominated for an Oscar for her supporting actress role in "Ragtime".

The movie "Racing With The Moon" is about three friends before World War 2. The Nicolas Cage character, Nicky, gets his girlfriend pregnant while Penn and McGovern must prepare for their budding relationship to be put on hold by joining the war effort.

The movie's problem is that it is forgettable and does not have much of a story besides what I have already described.

Answer: Honeymoon In Vegas

Bancroft is best known for her role as Mrs. Robinson in "The Graduate". "Guarding Tess" featured Shirley MacLaine as a former First Lady. Cage was her bodyguard. Though the former First Lady becomes a maternal figure to him, she is not his mother. The other two wrong answers were Cage movies.

Answer: Fire Birds

Tommy Lee Jones also was in "Fire Birds". Internationally "Fire Birds" was released as "Wings Of The Apache". David Green directed it who also directed the comedy "Buster" starring Phil Collins. Madchen Amick was the woman that Cage co-starred with in "Trapped In Paradise". "Windtalkers" was a military action-drama about Navajo people being utilized as code breakers during World War 2.

It mainly starred men but Cage and Frances O'Connor did share some memorable scenes. Sean Young played the ex-girlfriend of Cage in "Fire Birds".

It is about helicopter pilots that help to fight against a drug cartel.

Answer: Snake Eyes

Dunn plays a TV broadcaster and Stan Shaw plays a washed-up boxer in "Snake Eyes". Brian DePalma directed this memorable thriller. Gary Sinise also co-stars. As an inside joke by DePalma and Dunn, the character that Gary Sinise plays, is named Kevin Dunn.

The arena scenes were filmed in Montreal. "Wild At Heart", "Sonny" and "Vampire's Kiss" all feature many successful character actors however both Shaw and Dunn are in "Snake Eyes". Cage does a terrific performance as Ricky Santoro. The movie is about a political conspiracy gone wrong at a boxing match and Cage is a police chief who is framed.

Answer: Birdy

Matthew Modine co-starred in "Birdy" along with Bruno Kirby. The movie spans a friendship through the Vietnam War and deals with mental illness and aviaries. It is a unique movie. "Peggy Sue Got Married" and "Rumble Fish" are not directed by Alan Parker. Francis Ford Coppola directed those films. "The Boy In Blue" is about a sculler and is also not directed by Parker. Charles Jarrot directed "The Boy In Blue". Jarrot also directed "Anne Of A Thousand Days", "Mary, Queen Of Scots" and the musical version of "Lost Horizon".

Answer: Sonny

Cage acted in "Joe" but did not direct it. Cage executive produced and acted in "Bangkok Dangerous" but did not direct it. He produced and acted in "Lord Of War". "Sonny" starred James Franco and Cage and Mena Suvari. "Sonny" is about a male prostitue and his madam mother living in New Orleans.

Answer: Drive Angry

Atkins ("Halloween 3") and Heard ("The Informers") co-starred with Cage and the wild action movie "Drive Angry". Neither were featured in the other choices. "World Trade Center" starred Cage and Michael Pena. "Next" co-starred Julianne Moore. "Stolen" co-starred frequent villain Danny Huston. "Drive Angry" is an action movie where Cage plays a man out to protect a baby from the devil.

Answer: The Weather Man

"The Weather Man" was directed by Gore Verbinski. In "Captain Corelli's Mandolin", Cage's character was not on-screen with his father. In "The Family Man", Michael Caine again did not play the father of Cage's character. Same is true for "Matchstick Men".

In "The Family Man" and "Matchstick Men", it is Cage who is the father or paternal character. "The Weather Man" is about a weather man who overcomes various anxieties and difficulties and starts having a closer relationship with his father and his daughter.

Answer: Kiss Of Death

"Kiss Of Death" starred David Caruso and also featured Helen Hunt and Ving Rhames and Phillip Baker Hall. It was directed by Barbet Schroeder. "8MM" did not feature Tucci and Rappaport and Jackson. "8MM" co-starred Joaquin Phoenix and James Gandolfini. "It Could Happen To You" is a romantic comedy that starred Cage, Bridget Fonda and Rosie Perez. Tucci was in it but not Rappaport and Jackson. "Wild At Heart" featured neither Jackson, Cage, Tucci or Rappaport in any way. Tucci and Rappaport and Jackson as well as Cage and everyone else in "Kiss Of Death" do some of their best acting performances of their career. "Kiss Of Death" is an excellent movie in my opinion. "Kiss Of Death" is about a former car thief who helps to bring down an organized crime family.

Answer: Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans

Mendes was in "Ghost Rider" but Kilmer was not. Neither Kilmer nor Mendes were in the "Ghost Rider" sequel. Neither was the character that Mendes played in "Ghost Rider". "The Wicker Man" co-starred Ellen Burstyn. Kilmer and Cage play cops who are partners in "Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans".

It was great to see the two actors on-screen together. Mendes played a prostitute in the movie. The "Ghost Rider" sequel is about a motorcycle riding superhero returning to avenge past wrongs and protect the world from dark forces.
