Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In what country is the majority of this movie set?

Answer: France

Most of the movie is in Paris and Marseille where Fernand and Edmond lived. Although, part of the movie is set in Rome where Albert is kidnapped.

2. Who said this to Edmond: "In life we are kings or pawns"?

Answer: Napoleon Bonaparte

When Napoleon asked Edmond why he and Fernand exchanged the king chess piece, Edmond told him it signifies being the king of the moment. To which Napoleon responds that the world is made up of either kings or pawns.

3. What are the missing words? Edmond: "Why?!" Fernand:"Because you're the son of a _______, and I'm not supposed to ________ to be you!"

Answer: clerk want

This is one of my favourite quotes in the movie. It shows how much Fernand is consumed by jealousy. So much so that he sends Edmond to the Chateau d'If.

4. How many beatings did Edmond receive while at the Chateau d'If?

Answer: 14

It is customary that every new inmate gets a beating on his first day by the warden, and one whipping every year on the date of their imprisonment so that they can keep track of the time.

5. In total, was it over 15 years the priest was imprisoned in the Chateau d'If?

Answer: yes

The priest and Edmond met when Edmond had been there for 4 years and the priest had been there for 11. They spent another 9 years digging the tunnel before the priest dies and Edmond can escape.

6. When the priest discovered plant roots in the tunnel, how much longer did he say it would take before they could escape?

Answer: Months

The digging process takes so long because Edmond and the priest need to hide the dirt in the toilet bucket so that they don't get discovered. It is amazing that they are so close to escaping, but it would still take months.

7. Finish this quote: Jacopo: "I swear on my dead relatives - and even on the ones who are not feeling too ______ - I am your man forever!"

Answer: good

Jacopo says this to Edmond after he spared his life.

8. After escaping the Chateau d'If, Edmond visits Mr. Morell. At what time did he call on Mr. Morell?

Answer: 11 p.m.

After Edmond returns to his former home, he goes to visit Mr. Morell to ask for information. When he knocks, a young girl answers the door and says, "My grandfather is not well, Monsieur, and even if he were, he would not receive visitors at eleven o'clock in the evening."

9. How far could Edmond and the priest dig in a year in metres?

Answer: 3 and a half

Edmond and the priest are discussing how long it would take to escape from the Chateau d'If. The priest gives Edmond the equation and Edmond answers "3 and a half metres a year, 12 feet, a foot a month, 3 inches a week." So when Edmond getting his yearly whipping, he thought about how much closer he and the priest were to escaping and this made his punishment almost bearable.

10. What did the name Zatarra mean?

Answer: driftwood

Zatarra is a name that Luigi Vampa gives Edmond after he escaped from Chateau d'If. Edmond thought it sounded fearful until Luigi told him that it meant 'driftwood'.
