Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Throughout the film, Pele sings songs originally perfromed by David Bowie ("Starman" and "Life on Mars" for example). In what language are Pele's versions sung?

Answer: Portugese

Wes Anderson is a HUGE Bowie fan and thought this would be an interesting way to incorporate Bowie's music into the film.

2. What does Steve say he would have named Ned, if it were up to him?

Answer: Kingsley

Steve tells Ned that he would have named him Kingsley if he had the opportunity. For the duration of the film, Ned affectionately toys with the idea of changing his name but decides to stick with Ned.

3. What animal does Ned place next to the 'K' (for Klaus) on the Team Zissou flag?

Answer: Dolphin

By placing Klaus' initial by the dolphin, Ned has deeply moved Klaus. The reasons why are unknown, but Klaus' reaction is priceless.

4. What does Alistair's shirt say, when he is rescued by Team Zissou?

Answer: I'm A Pepper

This T-shirt is quite a dramatic wardrobe shift for Alistair who is usually seen in flowing, fancy silk fabrics. He is found by Steve playing cards with his kidnappers after they sunk his ship and stole his equipment.

5. What airline does Ned Plimpton work for?

Answer: Air Kentucky

If you remember the letter he wrote to Steve, one of the things he wanted to be when he grew up was a pilot. He did in fact become one, and mentions to Steve when they meet that he is a pilot for Air Kentucky.

6. Who was the father of Jane's baby?

Answer: Her editor

The father of her baby was cheating on his wife with Jane, and was aware that she was pregnant with his child. She subsequently ended her relationship with him via phone message from the Belafonte.

7. Does Noah Baumbach (the co-writer) have a cameo in this movie?

Answer: Yes

He plays a character named Phillip who is Oseary's assistant. This is the first time that Noah and Wes have collaberated on a script together. They are joining forces again for an animated feature entitled "The Fantastic Mr. Fox".

8. What is Steve's response to Alistair stating that he's part gay?

Answer: "they say we all are"

It was mentioned earlier in the film, by Steve's wife, that Alistair might be "part gay". When Alistair admits this, Steve responds "they say we all are" and receives a warm embrace from Alistair.

9. Steve cries at the end of the film.

Answer: True

Upon seeing the Jaguar Shark while on a deep dive, he asks of his team, "I wonder if he recognizes me" and then begins to cry. This is a very touching scene as each member of Team Zissou, along with his wife, reaches out to console him.

10. Here's a tough one: What song is playing as the Team sees the Jaguar Shark?

Answer: "Staralfur" by Sigur Ros

This song is not on the actual soundtrack, but it is in the film. Wes has a habit of using music in the film but leaving it off the soundtrack CD. In "Bottle Rocket", the Rolling Stones song "2000 Man" was absent from the soundtrack; and in "The Royal Tenenbaums", "She Smiles Sweetly", also by The Stones, is not on the soundtrack.
