Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. (1996) I am President Thomas J. Whitmore, and I have the honour of being in office when the Earth is threatened by an alien attack. As serious and potentially disastrous as this is, it does serve the purpose of drawing mankind together to fight the common foe. Using a spaceship (that had been hidden in the mysterious Area 51), and the skills of some amazing computer hackers, we prepare to stand and fight for freedom. As an experienced pilot, I choose to participate in the final assault, giving a rather rousing speech before crawling into my cockpit.
2. (1997) My name is President James Marshall, and I have chosen to take a hard-line approach against terrorism. After speaking about this in Moscow, my plane is hijacked by Russian terrorists who are holding my wife, my daughter and many of my staff hostage. They got onboard by pretending to be journalists, and are threatening to kill a hostage every half-hour until they get what they want. I have tricked them into believing that I escaped in the pod, which gives me a little time to thwart their plans without giving into their demands.
3. (1995) This biographical film takes a look at my life, from the start of my political career, to my resignation from the Oval Office to avoid impeachment. Flashbacks from my childhood might help people understand why I was driven to do the things I did. There are times when I'm uncomfortable with how brutally honest the film is, but at least it supports my assertion that I am not a crook.
4. (1996) My name is President James Dale, and I have the misfortune of being president when we are visited by little some men from Mars who have very sick senses of humour, and incredibly powerful weapons. I spend a lot of time hiding out in the White House, uncertain as to how far I should risk my life, while I watch how they virtually vaporize everyone around them. We manage to drive them away with the power of music, but unfortunately I don't personally survive the invasion.
5. (1993) I am not a huge star of the film, but I do play a president on the campaign trail to re-election, who is referred to mostly as Traveller. I am important in that my life has been threatened by Mitch Leary, a former CIA wet boy who has gone a little crazy. He is playing cat and mouse with Frank Horrigan, a Secret Service agent who was present the day that Kennedy was assassinated. Horrigan is determined not to lose another president, but his over-protectiveness might just lose me the election.
6. (2002) I am President Bob Fowler, and I served as president at a time when some Asian terrorists managed to detonate an atomic bomb at the Superbowl game, by concealing it in a cigarette vending machine. The group tried to pin the blame on the new Russian president, which would presumably have provoked a devastating reaction from the US. Thanks to the efforts of Jack Ryan I was able to escape the game before the bomb went off, and I knew enough not to react in anger. It was this cool thinking on Ryan's part that probably prevented the Third World War.
7. (1993) My name is Dave Kovic, and I have been hired to stand in for President William Harrison Mitchell, because I look so much like him. This was only supposed to be a short gig, but then the president had a stroke and my time here was extended. Strange, I'm kind of enjoying being able to make some positive changes, especially if that means I can stop the machinations of that nasty Chief of Staff. I can't say I mind spending time with the beautiful First Lady either.
8. (1944) I'm not actually a president, but I think I'm Teddy Roosevelt. I love to blow my bugle when I'm charging up the stairs, which I believe is San Juan Hill. I live with my two sisters who have a hobby of serving poisoned wine to elderly gentlemen. They think that they're providing a service to these lonely old gents. Afterwards, I help them bury the bodies in the cellar. While I'm digging the graves, I believe that I'm digging out locks for the Panama Canal. I feel rather sorry for my nephew Mortimer when he finds out though.
9. (1995) My name is President Andrew Shepherd, and I am a widower during my time in the White House. I am pleased when I find that my attraction to Ms. Wade is reciprocated, but dating is awfully hard when you live in a fish bowl, especially when there are people looking for any possible way to discredit you.
10. (2001) I am President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and I was in office on the day when the Japanese first bombed one of our naval bases in the Pacific. It was a terrible day, that drew America into the Second World War. I don't have a large role in this movie, which focuses more on two of our fighter pilots, and their acts of heroism during that dark and terrible time. These two boys grew up together, and their friendship never faltered, until they fell in love with the same woman.
