Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does Sean Thornton take out of his pocket, when he first gets off the train in Castletown?

Answer: An apple

The original opening scene, which was to be shot at the end of all other scenes, was canceled. Sean Thornton was supposed to have a conversation with a mother and her young son. The boy was supposed to give Sean an apple. You will see Sean wave an apple to someone in the train car to say 'thanks'.

2. What was the number of the train engine?

Answer: 59

The engine number appears on a side panel. It is quite visible during the opening scene as well as later when Sean retrieves Mary Kate.

3. What number is the car Sean pulls Mary Kate from?

Answer: 3

In fact, all of the train cars appear to have been numbered 3. Watch as Sean walks along the platform slamming the doors.

4. What brand of tobacco is advertised on the windows of the train cars?

Answer: Wills' Golden Flake

If you look on the windows of the train cars, you can see almost every one of them has this sticker. The yellow sticker says in red lettering "Smoking Wills' Golden Flake".

5. What American city is Sean returning to Ireland from?

Answer: Pittsburgh

While traveling along the road, in the beginning of the movie, Michaeleen states Cincinnatti implying that's where Sean is from. Sean responds Pittsburgh.

6. What state does Michaeleen say Sean is from?

Answer: Massachusetts

How and where Michaeleen gets Massachusetts from Pittsburgh, PA, I am not sure. However, he says it quite specifically when they are meeting Will Danaher to ask for Mary Kate's hand in marriage.

7. In the movie, how tall did Sean Thornton say that he was?

Answer: 6 feet four and a half inches tall

This is said during the ride along the road in the beginning of the movie. Michaeleen states six foot six as to inquire about Sean's height. Sean replies he is six foot four and a half. Barry Fitzgerald, the actor who plays Michaeleen, is only five foot four. John Wayne was in fact listed at six foot four 1/2 inches in real life.

8. Where did the cast and crew stay, during the filming in Ireland?

Answer: Ashford Castle

The cast and crew stayed in the Ashford Castle which can been seen in the opening credits.

9. How many men are seen working on Sean Thornton's roof?

Answer: 1

Only one man is seen working on the roof. This takes place when The Reverend Playfair and his wife visit Sean and deliver a plant. Sean is busy painting another small building on his property and the older gentleman is atop the roof replacing the thatch.

10. How many Thorntons does Will Danaher claim can NOT take him?

Answer: 11

In fact, he claims 11 could not take him. It is somewhat of a trick question if you only listen to the number in the quote. If you do the math, Will claims Sean plus the 10 others like him could not take him.
