Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. At the beginning of the movie Jimmy's wife Pam asks David Herdeg if he's heard from his father. Where does he say he is?

Answer: Sacramento

The night before the experiment the crew of the USS Eldridge are enjoying themselves at a dance on base and Pam is there to see them off. When they take a break from dancing, she asks David about his dad, if he's heard from him. He replies "No, he's up in Sacramento; he's not gonna let the war get in the way of his racing".
2. After David and Jimmy wind up in the desert, after the experiment, and walk to the roadside diner, what kind of gas is the establishment shown to sell?

Answer: Chevron

The roadside diner is the first real sign of civilization they see after arriving in 1984, and the Chevron logo is visible on both a sign atop a pole and on the gas pumps themselves.
3. Dr. Longstreet, who was behind both experiments, has a habit of doing something with his hands, seen in 1943 the night before the experiment and again in 1984 after looking at the archive photos of the USS Eldridge. What is he seen doing both times?

Answer: Twirling a wristwatch between his two index fingers.

Dr. Longstreet is seen twice doing this little maneuver in his office with his wristwatch.
4. What kind of food does Allison bring back to the hotel for David?

Answer: Chinese takeout

They're on the way to David's hometown of Santa Paula, CA and stop off for the night at a hotel. Allison goes out shopping, and is seen pulling out the cartons, asking David, "You like Chinese food?".
5. While driving to California the next day, what Manfred Mann's Earth Band song comes on the radio?

Answer: Runner

"Runner" comes on the radio and Allison asks David if the music bothers him. "Runner" was a non-LP single released in 1984, the same year as the movie.
6. Also in the car en route to California, where does Allison say she's from in Ohio?

Answer: Cincinnati

She mentions to David that she's well thought of in Cincinnati, to which he replies that she's well thought of here.
7. What does Pam tell David about the fate of the ship and its crew?

Answer: "Burned, some of them; some of them died."

After arriving in Santa Paula and finding out that David's father, John Herdeg, passed away a few years ago, he and Allison head out to the Parker ranch and meet up with Pam. She tells David the ship came back with her husband Jimmy, now a senior citizen, but that he himself never returned, adding "you just never came back...'til now".
8. While still at the Parker ranch, they are set upon again by the military with orders from Dr. Longstreet to bring back David Herdeg, but a car chase ensues and both military vehicles crash. Since the military knows their vehicle, David and Allison ditch it. How do they hitch a ride?

Answer: In the back of a horse trailer

After the second vehicle crashes, David retrieves documents from the SUV, indicating that they need to head back to Nevada to Dry Wells military base, where they can find Dr. Longstreet. When the truck hauling the horse trailer with them approaches a road block, due to the storm caused by the vortex, the driver momentarily gets out, whereupon David and Allison unhitch the trailer and steal the pickup truck.
9. The documents retrieved from the military vehicle take them to a civilian house outside the base. What do they find upon entering the house?

Answer: A model of the missing town

When they walk into the house and come upon the model of the house, they know they're one step closer in finding Dr. Longstreet.
10. After arriving back on the ship and shutting down its generators, what does David leave behind before leaving?

Answer: Helmet and a pair of gloves

After finding Dr. Longstreet, David learns that he was the one who shut down the generators, but has to be transported to the vortex opening to get back onboard the USS Eldridge. He's outfitted with what appears to be a pressurized suit (akin to what an astronaut would wear) with a helmet and gloves.

The very force of the vortex' suction is enough to pull David up and into it, after being driven underneath it in an APC (armored personnel carrier). After reappearing on the ship and shutting down the generators, he takes off the helmet, putting the gloves inside and then tosses that to the ground before walking over to Jimmy, who he sees again as a young man.

He tells him he can't stay and again jumps overboard, back to 1984.
