Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. It might seem a little fowl, but we're not talking about birds here. What film features the line: "Talk to me, Goose."?

Answer: Top Gun

"Fly Away Home" was a film about getting geese to migrate. It featured live geese, and hence as the question text notes, wouldn't apply here.
"Father Goose" was a movie that starred Cary Grant. It didn't feature the famous line quoted in the question.
"The Wild Geese" was also not the answer here.
'Talk to me Goose' was uttered by Tom Cruise's character (Maverick) in the 1980s film "Top Gun". Maverick was trying to shake off his doubts and fears in his return to air combat - in this case in a fight that could have meant the sinking of a disabled ship and worse potentially the downing of his wingman.
2. "Get my pies outta the oven" was a line in an action flick from the early 1990s. What was the name of that film?

Answer: Under Siege

Steven Seagal's Casey Ryback character (a former Navy SEAL, then working as the head chef/cook on the ship, though that probably isn't the right description as once a SEAL, always a SEAL) was locked in the walk-in box after the ship had been commandeered by the bad guys in the first "Under Siege" film.

While he was locked in he fretted over the pies he had been cooking and nagged his guard to take the pies out of the oven. Later the pies were finally retrieved when they were already burnt and ruined.
3. A very famous actor told us all that "You can't handle the truth" in one of the best courtroom dramas ever captured on film. Which film was that?

Answer: A Few Good Men

Hopefully you've seen Jack Nicholson's great performance in that film. He was being grilled on the stand by none other than Tom Cruise. Nicholson was playing the marine commandant/commander responsible for running the U.S. base at Gitmo (Guantanamo Bay, Cuba).

He had ordered his Marines to dispense discipline to one of their fellow Marines. During that discipline the fellow Marine died, in effect murdered at the hands of his compatriots (technically, more likely manslaughter). Cruise's character was a hotshot lawyer who had no actual courtroom experience before trying the case as he was working to defend the low-ranking Marines who had been following orders.
4. "Call me when you have no class" was a funny line delivered by a famous comic. The film was released in the mid-'80s. Which film was that line from?

Answer: Back to School

The man who never got any respect (his own description of himself), Mr. Rodney Dangerfield, played Thorton Melon in the film "Back to School". He was a fish out of water, trying to show his son that he could handle going to college. The line was delivered in response to the lovely Dr. Diane Turner's (played by Sally Kellerman) responses to a potential date where she kept noting that she had various schedule conflicts, mostly due to having class during the proposed days/times.
5. "He's getting away with the WMD!" was an important statement in this film.

Answer: Team America: World Police

The political parody "Team America: World Police", from the guys that brought us the TV series "South Park", featured this line. The World Police were chasing a terrorist who was scurrying off with a WMD. Of course this was a comedy of errors on the screen as the World Police did whatever it took to stop the bad guy, including destroying pretty much everything in the immediate area.
"Broken Arrow" did feature a weapon of mass destruction - a 'lost' nuclear weapon that was in fact not 'lost' rather intentionally misplaced if you will.
"Weapon of Mass Destruction" may not have made it to the big screen at all, though you can find information regarding what it was supposed to have been (when it was in the works back in 2004).
"Green Zone" also involves WMD concerns, but didn't feature the line in the question.
6. This comedy included a line referencing someone shooting at the cans! "He hates these cans!" This not so politically correct movie was named what?

Answer: The Jerk

Definitely not a politically correct film, though not as non-p.c. as a film such as "Blazing Saddles", "The Jerk", starring Steve Martin, featured the "He hates these cans!" line.
Martin's character, Navin R. Johnson, was randomly selected from 'the new phonebook' as a target for a psychotic shooter. The shooter targeted Johnson but missed and instead wound up hitting cans of oil that were stacked by Johnson. Johnson, who was not the brightest bulb, wrongly assumed that the shooter hated the cans.
The other films listed featured stars that had worked with Steve Martin on "Saturday Night Live" in the late 1970s.
7. "Why are there so many songs about rainbows?" was a line of sorts in this film.

Answer: The Muppet Movie

This line comes from the original (1979) "Muppet Movie". Kermit the Frog sang the line or perhaps spoke the lyric as part of the song "The Rainbow Connection".
Some people may think the line would have come from "The Wizard of Oz" (as an example), or either of the other films ("Rainbow" or "The Rainbow") listed, but that would not be the case here.
8. "We're on a mission from God" was famously uttered in which film from the 1980s?

Answer: The Blues Brothers

"The Blues Brothers" featured two brothers who famously claim to be on a mission from God as they try to put the band back together and save the orphanage where they had been raised. (Apparently despite their Catholic up-bringing in the orphanage they had strayed enough to be incarcerated during a time the orphanage was nearing foreclosure.)
The other films may involve missions from God, but not the famous line.
(Note the other films were also from the 1980s.)
9. Which film featured the line: "Where's my super suit?"?

Answer: The Incredibles

Samuel L. Jackson's Frozone character asked his wife, "Where's my super suit?" in the great Disney/Pixar film "The Incredibles".
"The Greatest American Hero" was a TV series from the 1980s that featured a suit that gave the wearer super powers. There have been rumors that the series will eventually be given the big screen treatment, but that has not come to pass at the time this quiz was compiled.
"The Guyver" involved a character that puts on a suit that merges with his own body (cybernetic style). It featured a famous sci-fi star in the starring role.
The Batman character does wear a costume, but not a super suit, so the "Lego Batman Movie" is not the correct answer (though some fans of the campy Adam West "Batman" TV series might say that the suit was a super suit since his utility belt apparently had solutions for everything).
10. A movie that some now see as a holiday film featured the line "Welcome to the party, pal!" Which film included that line?

Answer: Die Hard

Bruce Willis, as John McClane, tossed a terrorist out of the window of the tower that had been taken over by terrorists as he said this famous line in the first movie in the "Die Hard" series. Until that point McClane was having a hard time convincing anyone that something that wasn't supposed to be happening was going on in the building. Some might think that the film "Bachelor Party" included this line.

It is imaginable that Tom Hanks or one his co-stars may have used this line in that film, but it is not the film the line is known for. Especially not given the 'some now see it as a holiday film' clue.

While not necessarily meant to be a holiday film, "Die Hard's" timeline is centered on the holidays, so some now picture the movie (no pun intended here) as a holiday film.
11. In this film the song "Da Doo Ron Ron" found its way into the classroom. Name the film.

Answer: Stripes

While a few of these movies ("Running Man" and "Marathon Man") involved running, they don't feature the song "Da Doo Ron Ron", especially not in a classroom.
"Back to School" did feature plenty of classroom scenes (especially scenes with Sally Kellerman, Sam Kinison, Rodney Dangerfield and even some campus scenes with Robert Downey, Jr.) but also didn't feature "Da Doo Ron Ron".
"Stripes", which also featured "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" was the film that featured these songs.
Note that "Da Doo Ron Ron" was a hit in the 1960s (by the Crystals) and again later in the 1970s (by teen heartthrob Shaun Cassidy).
12. The words "pop quiz" (with another word or two following) should instantly remind those who have seen it of which particular film?

Answer: Speed

It would have been too easy to have added in the silly comedy "Hot Shots!" (featuring Charlie Sheen) as one of the answers. If that had been there, you may have made the leap over to "pop quiz, hot shot!" and been quickly reminded of "Speed", the film that featured Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock (along with Dennis Hopper, Joe Morton and Jeff Daniels). Hopper's character used the line to taunt Reeves' character in a way that very much ratcheted up the tension and drama in the film.
The other answers listed do include quiz shows or game shows as part of the stories.
13. A string of dialog that went something like this: "Nervous?" "Yes." "First time?" should be all you need to see to recall this famous comedy.

Answer: Airplane!

This silly dialog, and much more like it, was featured in the classic comedy "Airplane!".
In "Airplane!" the dialog often took things too literally and completely out of context. This quote came from a conversation between Robert Hays' Ted Striker and the older lady who was seated next to him on the plane. She asked if he was nervous (because of the flight) and he answered yes, and then answered the "first time" question with a response about being nervous multiple times rather than addressing the question as it related to the flight.
For those not familiar, the film "What About Bob?" featured Richard Dreyfuss as a psychiatrist caring for Bill Murray's Bob character.
The 2016 film "Loving" did include a "You nervous?" query, but lacked the remainder of the dialog featured in the question. (It was also not a comedy, rather it was a drama based on a true story.)
"Hot Shots!" might have seemed like a place you'd find this dialog, but it had already obviously been used in the earlier film. Of course the fact that the same writer was involved in both of these films may have kept the potential re-use of the dialog out of "Hot Shots!".
14. "You look like an avocado..." was followed with discussion of another older avocado in the same sentence in this comic book character movie from 2016. Name the movie that included this line.

Answer: Deadpool

T.J. Miller's Weasel character told his friend Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, what he really thought of his (Deadpool's) new face after Wilson removed his mask to expose his new face. The line continued with Weasel saying that Deadpool's face looked like an avocado had sex with a really old and nasty avocado. "Deadpool" (the movie) features a lot of coarse dialog, but it is a great film. Surprisingly funny, but definitely an adult movie rather than a typical kid friendly superhero movie. The other films were comic book films that were released in the same year, but none featured the line from the question.
15. "So I got that goin' for me," was a line from a beloved comedy of years now gone by. What comedy featured that line?

Answer: Caddyshack

Bill Murray was the source of that great line as he, in character as Spackler, the groundskeeper for Bushwood Country Club, told the tale of caddying for the Dalai Lama. "Caddyshack" was one of the films that truly launched Murray's career on film and not just the small screen. Reportedly much of Murray's performance in the film was ad-libbed.
