6. Which of the following is NOT the name of a gang mentioned in the movie?

Answer: The Knights

As far as I know, the names of all the gangs mentioned in the film are: The Wanderers, The Baldies, The Executioners, The Pharaohs, The Rays, The Cavaliers, The Pips, The Mau-Mau's, The Del Bombers, The Ducky Boys, The Wongs, The Golden Guineas, The Dusters and The Galasso Brothers, if you can call The Galasso Brothers a gang.

7. What is the name of the leader of The Wongs?

Answer: Teddy Wong

The Wongs were a spooky Chinese gang that never made a sound, except for the crack of a twig to announce their presence to The Wanderers in their gang recruitment, until the end of the film. Teddy Wong was played by Dion Albanese.

8. What was the name of Clinton Stitch's cousin?

Answer: Roger

Roger was a member of The Baldies.

9. What is the name of the bartender in the bowling alley?

Answer: Peppy Dio

Donald Duck sound alike George Merolle played the part of Peppy Dio. "You boys are gonna win big tonight".

10. When Richie "bumps" into Nina, what book is she carrying?

Answer: Lady Chatterley's Lover

As Richie sees the book's title, he claims it to be a great book. Nina replies "the whole thing or just the dirty parts?"

11. What is Joey's phone number?

Answer: KL5-0564

On Richie's suggestion, Joey gives his number to Nina (he gives it twice just to be sure she remembers it). "KL5-0564, that's my number KL5-0564. Do you think she'll call?". (KL5 equates to the ubiquitous 555.)

12. Jim Youngs, the actor that plays Buddy, wrote "Stranger Girl", the song that The Wanderers sing in the car as they follow Nina.

Answer: True

I found this out recently when I looked for the song on the internet.

13. When Nina picks up Joey and Richie for Despie's party, classical music is playing on the radio. Richie changes the channel to find some rock 'n' roll and finds which song?

Answer: "Tequila" by The Champs

Nina did not seem to mind Richie changing stations at all.

14. During the party and the card game, Despie is wearing a gold necklace. What is hanging from the necklace?

Answer: The name "Despie" in gold letters

Only the best jewelry for the local Mob Boss's daughter.

15. During the party, which drink is Buddy drinking?

Answer: Screwdriver

Screwdriver is a mix of vodka and orange juice. Black Russian is a mix of Bacardi, Coke and Tia Maria. Snakebite is a mix of lager and cider. Beer is self explanatory I think.

16. When Joey and Richie are cheating at strip poker, which card does Joey pass to Richie?

Answer: The Six of Spades

Joey and Richie have a system of cheating at poker: if one of them needs a 6, he winks 6 times, a 10, he winks 10 times etc. Richie hands Joey back the 10 of Diamonds. "Beatcha again".

17. Joey's football shirt is number 30, Richie's shirt is number 42 and Buddy's shirt is number 14.

Answer: True

Although The Wanderers were highly skilled at football, their uniforms did not match their performances: they wore jeans and mismatched jerseys. On the other hand, The Del Bombers were as flashy on the field as off it. As we all know, clothes do not make the man and The Wanderers (technically) looked like a much better side.

18. At the time of the football match, The Wanderers were unbeaten in The North Bronx Football League.

Answer: True

If you look closely at the banner that Joey makes, it contains the results of the previous matches. The Wanderers 48-0 The Rays. The Wanderers 33-6 The Pharaohs. The Wanderers 34-10 The Mau-Mau's.

19. Which Bob Dylan song does Richie hear after following Nina to a folk club?

Answer: The Times They Are a Changing

The times were indeed a changing as far as Richie was concerned: Joey and Perry were about to leave town and he was about to get married to Despie. Quite an apt song to wind the movie up with.

20. Which Oscar winning actress played Joey's mother?

Answer: Olympia Dukakis

Olympia Dukakis won Best Supporting Actress for "Moonstruck". Anjelica Huston Won Best Supporting Actress for "Prizzi's Honor". Cloris Leachman won Best Supporting Actress for "The Last Picture Show". Shirley MacLaine won Best Actress for "Terms Of Endearment".
