Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Philadelphia Museum of Art

The 72 stone steps before the entrance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art have become known as the "Rocky Steps". The montage ends at a beach in California in "Rocky III". The montage in "Rocky IV" ends at the top of a snowy peak in Soviet Russia. All the montages end with Rocky throwing at least one arm in the air, ready to fight.

Answer: Scarface (Push It to the Limit)

"Rush Rush" is performed by Deborah Harry on the soundtrack. "Tony's Theme" is an instrumental track by Giorgio Moroder. "Cocaine" is a song by J.J. Cale and is not used in the movie. Paul Engemann is a former singer with Animotion. The song "Scarface (Push It to the Limit)" is also featured on the official "Scarface" game, "Scarface: The World is Yours".

Answer: Renovating their home

The Alpha Betas burned down their own house and took over the freshmen dorm for themselves. Lewis, Gilbert, and other nerds who could not join a fraternity renovate a dilapidated home to serve as their fraternity house. We do see the nerds participate in the Greek Games later.

The Tri-Lambs make some sexy pies during the Greek Games and nobody seems to study at Adams College. The song "One Foot in Front of the Other" was performed by Bone Symphony.

Answer: Top Gun

From context, the montage seems to be added to build the rivalry between the two flight teams. No clear winner comes out of the volleyball game, as Maverick, after looking at his watch several times, says he has to leave. The song heard during the montage is "Playing With The Boys", by Kenny Loggins.

Answer: "Have a nice day."

Forrest only says "Have a nice day" to the man and keeps running. During the montage, Gump tells the bumper sticker guy "It happens" after Gump runs through a pile of dog feces. Forrest says "I'm pretty tired... I think I'll go home now" to the young man when he finally stops running.

He tells President John F. Kennedy, "I gotta pee". Forrest Gump ran for three years, two months, fourteen days and sixteen hours.

Answer: Platoon

Leslie Nielsen plays Lt. Frank Drebin and Priscilla Presley is Jane Spencer. The movie title is shown on the marquee as they exit the theater. The song used in the montage is "I'm Into Something Good", performed by Peter Noone. All the events in the montage occurred in one day. "Wall Street" was directed by Oliver Stone and starred Charlie Sheen but was not released until 1987. "Born on the Fourth of July" was also directed by Oliver Stone but did not star Charlie Sheen. Oliver Stone did not direct "Howard the Duck" although it was released in 1986 and I don't think anyone ever laughed during or after "Howard the Duck".

Answer: Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Rusty Rodriguez. The character was Sarah's second motion picture role. Lori Singer is Reverend Shaw Moore's daughter, Ariel Moore. She is also the love interest for Ren. Dianne Wiest plays Ariel's mother, Vi Moore. Jennifer Grey stars as Frances 'Baby' Houseman in "Dirty Dancing", which also has a dance montage.

Answer: Under 18 All Valley Karate Championships

Under 18 All Valley Karate Championships is shown on the poster hanging in the Cobra Kai dojo. The tournament starts on December 19 and is held at the State University. Just enter "All Valley Karate Championships" into your web browser and you can buy a poster or even a tee shirt commemorating the fictitious event from many retailers.

Answer: Ectomobile

The Ectomobile, or ECTO-1, as we see on the vanity license plate, is a 1959 Cadillac professional chassis, built by the Miller-Meteor company. During the montage we see the Ghostbusters on the cover of "U.S.A. Today", "The New York Post", "Time Magazine", "Omni", "The Atlantic", and "The Globe".

Answer: Soviet Russia

Although his conception of the montage may be different than modern Hollywood. Sergei Eisenstein (1898-1948), a pioneer in Soviet Russian film directing and film theory, is often considered to be the "Father of Montage". Eisenstein is noted for his silent films "Strike" (1924), "Battleship Potemkin" (1925), "October" (1927) and his historical epics "Alexander Nevsky" (1938) and "Ivan the Terrible" (1944, 1958).
