Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who was the first muppet to be shown in the movie?

Answer: Animal

Animal was shown in some kind of MGM parody opening. Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo were then shown in a hot-air balloon during the opening credits.

2. What was Kermit and Fozzie's relation to one another in the movie?

Answer: identical twin brothers

And apparently the only way to tell them apart is that bears wear hats. "Only in a muppet movie." - me ;-)

3. Who was the only actor or actress who said "... and me" in either version of the song "Hey! A Movie!"?

Answer: Charles Grodin

Charles Grodin, who plays Nicky Holiday, says it as he plays a blind person being helped across the street before robbing his own sister, while Kermit, Fozzie, & Gonzo are too busy taking pictures of chickens.

4. How many times does Mr. Tarkinian hit his desk while talking to Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo?

Answer: 5

He does this after "How could you miss a story like that?", again after "I'll give you a raise!", after Fozzie says he reads the paper with "Dear Abby" and sends Gonzo flying up to the light, after "Next time?!", and after "LUGGAGE?!"

5. Kermit, Fozzie, & Gonzo are in animal transportation boxes while flying to England. While Kermit and Fozzie's boxes were marked Frog and Bear, respectively, what was Gonzo's box marked?

Answer: whatever

No one has ever answered exactly what Gonzo is.

6. Where did the plane land?

Answer: Italy

The plane landed in Italy. Kermit, Fozzie, & Gonzo landed in England.

7. What was the name of the hotel Kermit, Fozzie, & Gonzo stayed at?

Answer: The Happiness Hotel

"If that's the Happiness Hotel, I'd hate to see what the sad one looks like."

8. What was Nicky and Lady Holiday's relation to one another?

Answer: brother and sister

Nicky and Lady are siblings who inherited a lot of money, but while Lady built a fashion empire with it, Nicky blew his money stupidly, so now he works for his sis.

9. What job did Lady Holiday offer Miss Piggy?

Answer: receptionist

10. Which Monty Python actor played Neville?

Answer: John Cleese

Neville and his wife were rather boring people, I feel.

11. What did Neville grab to use as a weapon on Kermit and Miss Piggy?

Answer: a fireplace poker

He would hide it when he decided to play along with the charade Miss Piggy went on with about the house.

12. What make of car did Kermit compare the price of the roast beef at the Dubonnet Club with?

Answer: An Oldsmobile

"Gasp!" "What?" "Uh nothing it's just sort of amusing that the roast beef is the same price as an Oldsmobile."

13. What ruined the picture Gonzo took of Nicky stealing Lady Holiday's necklace?

Answer: sunlight on the negative

Kermit, Fozzie, & Gonzo were using the (apparently) only bathroom in the Happiness Hotel as a dark room, and the rest of the tenants all had to go pretty badly. Just when the pic they needed was found, the rest of the gang finally busted the door open, let in regular light, and destroyed the negative.

14. What detective-playing actor came by to talk to Kermit?

Answer: Peter Falk

He made up a story about what happened to Kermit, then tried to sell him a watch.

15. Kermit landed in the handlebar basket on Miss Piggy's bicycle?

Answer: False

False. After getting snagged in a tree doing tricks on his bike, he ended up landing in Miss Piggy's arms between her and the handlebars.

16. How many times did the murphy bed in Kermit, Fozzie, & Gonzo's room go up unexpectedly?

Answer: 3

It went up after settling in for the night when they first got there, again when dressing up for his date with Lady Holiday/Miss Piggy, and when they were about to make plans to catch the jewel thieves.

17. How many sparklers were behind Miss Piggy's head near the end of her little modeling fantasy?

Answer: 5

There were 5 sparklers behind her head when she went to the top of some kind of fountain, then dove off, hit the water, and snapped out of it.

18. Who did Kermit pretend to be when he visited Miss Piggy in jail?

Answer: a lawyer

He played attorney Rosenthal since it was the only way he could get in. He explained that they were going to get her released when he and the gang catch the real thieves, but she decided not to wait that much longer and broke out.

19. How many times was "What color are their hands now?" asked to Kermit?

Answer: 3

Beauregard asks during the meeting, Miss Piggy asks when Kermit visits her, then Beauregard again when they're about to go for it. In a Muppet movie, running gags come in 3s I've noticed.

20. What was Miss Piggy's CB handle (or code name) when she was driving the cement truck?

Answer: ham hock

She made one call to make sure there were no cops between her and the Mallory Gallery. However, she never made it in the truck because she ran out of gas, but as fate would have it, a motorcycle falls out of a truck driving by, and there you have it.

21. Who was the first muppet to speak to one of the thieves?

Answer: Fozzie

He told the girl who picked up the baseball diamond, "Excuse me, I don't think that belongs to you."

22. Who did Nicky try to take as hostage?

Answer: Kermit

After the gang played keep away, and Animal kept the girls at bay, Beaker pitches the baseball diamond to Lew Zealand (the fish lover), who is using a big fish as a bat. He hits it towards Kermit, but Nicky snags it from him, grabs him, and is about to leave with him until Piggy jumps in and saves the day.

23. Who was the first muppet to be thrown out of plane at the end?

Answer: Pops

The pilot grabbed Pops first, then went after Beaker (calling him "carrot top"). Luckily everybody had parachutes this time...

24. Besides the rats, who was the only Muppet to not have a parachute of his/her own?

Answer: Kermit

...except Kermit and the rats. Poor Kermit had to hang onto Miss Piggy. The rats clung to Beauregard.

25. Who was the last muppet to be shown in the movie?

Answer: Gonzo

He came down, got one final pic of the "audience" watching, then told them he'd send each of them a copy of the pic. The end. NOW take my Muppets Take Manhatten quiz!
