Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. These two buddy 'droids rocketed to fame in 1977 with the release of "Star Wars". What were the names of the fireplug and the gold guy?

Answer: R2D2 and C3PO

Robots are machines that look like machines. Androids are machines that look like humans. Cyborgs are part machine and part human. George Lucas had droids, robots that acted human.

2. "Westworld" is a great "technology runs amok" flick. Who played the intense, single-minded gunslinger android out to kill tourists Richard Benjamin and James Brolin?

Answer: Yul Brynner

This excellent movie was written and directed by Michael Crichton in 1973. Twenty years later, he was to use the same "theme park gone mad" plot for even greater success in "Jurassic Park".

3. Here's one from the early '50s. In "The Day the Earth Stood Still", we met an impressive metal giant. He's an interplanetary peacekeeper helping Michael Rennie (Klaatu) deliver a warning to Earth. We must be good and play nice or our planet "will be reduced to a burned out cinder". What was this space cop's name?

Answer: Gort

Gort didn't do much more than stand around, vaporize a few guns, and raise Klaatu from the dead. Happy "Klaatu barada nikto" to you all!

Answer: Tom and Crow

Gypsy and Cambot help run the ship. Huey and Dewey are Donald Duck's nephews, and Heckle and Jeckle are cartoon magpies. Only Tom Servo, a floating gumball machine, and Crow T. Robot, a gold 'bot with a bowling pin for a mouth, got to watch the movies. When the show graduated to the big screen, the movie roasted was "This Island Earth".

5. Who played the big, bad android in "The Terminator" (1984)?

Answer: Arnold Schwarzenegger

This movie had some memorable lines. Kyle Reese made his point with "Listen! And understand! That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with! It can't be reasoned with! It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead." Now that sounds like my geometry teacher. All Arnold has to say is, "I'll be back".

6. Name the extremely pale android who serves on the "Enterprise" under Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

Answer: Data

Data, played by Brent Spiner, has an evil twin brother named Lore. An evil twin is a frequent problem for twins in the movies. Just look at "The Corsican Brothers" and "The Man In the Iron Mask".

Answer: Marvin

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" started in the fertile, and irreverent, mind of author Douglas Adams. In 1981, the BBC produced a six episode series of it for TV. It was delightful. The VERY BEST advice the Guide has to offer is printed, in large friendly letters, on it's cover... "DON'T PANIC!"

8. Robin Williams gave a fine performance as a robot who evolves, over a period of 200 years, into a human being. What is the name of this 1999 release?

Answer: Bicentennial Man

Andrew, the robot turned human, won the trial for his humanity only after he accepted death into his personal life equation. A virus was injected into his immortal, ageless robot body that would, and did, kill him. It was a sentimental ending, but very real questions of artificial intelligence, sentience, dignity, and freedom were raised.

9. Peter Weller played the cop whose brain was used to create the android peace officer, Robocop. What was his character's name before becoming a real cop of steel?

Answer: Murphy

"Robocop" was an entertaining, funny, often touching film. Alex Murphy is lost for a while in his new form. His partner, Anne Lewis, is the only one that sees Murphy under Robocop and helps bring him back. At the end of the movie, he is asked his name. He answers, "Murphy". I gave a silent cheer.

Answer: Edward Scissorhands

Johnny Depp has an impressive list of unique movies and strange parts. "Edward Scissorhands" was the strangest but "Ed Wood", "From Hell", "Sleepy Hollow", "Cry Baby", and "The Ninth Gate" are up there.
