Nunzio's Second Cousin Trivia Quiz

Answer: Chicago

Chicago has a population of about three million people. The city is on the shore of Lake Michigan. The film takes place at night, but viewers can still recognize the busy downtown district.

Answer: On a public street

Other than the overt violence in the scene, one of the most chilling things about it is that you can see more people in the distance, but no one stops to help. Moments later, that will become unnecessary. However, as the scene opens, the audience doesn't know this.

The cold reaction of passersby is a subtle statement about how people don't seem to care about violence--at least not when it's against certain victims.

Answer: Pulls a gun

Tony is armed and ready to fight. This comes as a big surprise to the would-be attackers. The thugs plead for mercy; most manage to back away in time, but one of them is still too close for comfort. Tony screams at him and presses him to the ground. Is it self-defense or abuse? The ethical dividing line is another compelling point of the plot.

Answer: Levon

Levon was played by Harry Waters, Jr. Waters began his acting career with a number of television roles in the 1980s. In the film, Levon has little in the way of lines. During the attack scene, a frightened Levon steps back out of danger. Tony then subdues the crowd. Levon, relieved, flashes a smile at the strangers. Turnabout is fair play.

Answer: Police officer

He is a sergeant. After the crowd tries to press in on him, Tony pulls his gun. Then he takes out his badge. The thugs find out the hard way, that they picked on the wrong person this time.

Answer: Seth Green

Seth Green is from Overbrook Park in Philadelphia. He was the co-creator, along with Matthew Senreich, of the show "Robot Chicken".

Answer: "Bash back"

Tony pulls his gun and pins one of the attackers to the street. The lines are directed at the whole group, but Tony is looking at the man on the ground while he speaks. Then he lets everyone go, without firing a shot. This happens about ten minutes into the film.

Answer: To see Tony's mother

This is another of many plot twists in the film. Jimmy is frightened, but dare not say no. Tony may have felt justified in continuing the fight. Even though no one came to help him, though, since the street is a public place, there is a chance he'd be found out.

The dinner with Tony's mother is a kind of poetic justice. It puts Jimmy completely at Tony's mercy, forces him to feel just as scared as Tony and Levon did on the street, and it also means there will be no physical evidence back at the scene of the attack.

Answer: Tom DeCerchio

DeCerchio directed the 1996 comedy, "Celtic Pride". He also directed the Budweiser commercials with the tagline, "Yes, I am."

Answer: No

When Jimmy shows up for dinner, everything proceeds as normal. Tony's mother, played by Eileen Brennan, is a happy-go-lucky figure who fixes a nice dinner and introduces herself to the guest without ever latching on to the fact that there is more to the story.

It is she, in fact, who mistakes Jimmy for one of their relatives. This gives the film a sense of humor to counteract the bleakness of the fight scene.
