Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Fordham Baldies are the first gang we see in the movie. Why are they bald?

Answer: So their hair doesn't get in their eyes when they fight.

"They're so bad, they shave their heads so the hair won't get in their eyes when they fight." So says Turkey, a Wanderer who wants to defect and join the Baldies.

Answer: "Leave the kid alone."

Tony Ganios plays Perry. He also played a classic role in the movie "Porky's". His name was Meat, in that film. Perry doesn't like to see big guys picking on little guys. Thus, he intercedes and utters; "Leave the kid alone", to a group of ten Baldies. They take exception, but Perry single handedly beats up all ten.

3. Ken Wahl plays the leader of the Wanderers. What was his name in the film?

Answer: Richie

Ken Wahl is best known for being the star of T.V series 'The Wiseguy', and was the star of another cool movie, 'Purple Hearts', with Cheryl Ladd. Richie Generro is highly respected by all factions in the film. Richie has the looks, charisma, and strength to lead the Wanderers.

4. Who were the main rivals of the Wanderers?

Answer: Del Bombers

Clinton Stitch was their leader, and they were a formidable group. All the gangs are racially composed in their neighborhood of the Bronx. The Italians and Afro-Americans are the majority groups that vie for control of this area of the Bronx.The Del Bombers wear purple and gold jackets with a large gold db emblem to signify who they are.

5. Karen Allen, plays Nina. She's very cute, smart, and a total outsider to the world the Wanderers live in. How do her and the guys meet?

Answer: In a game known as Elbowing

Karen Allen went on to famously play Marion Ravenwood, in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. Elbowing is a game where the guys would pretend to stroll on the sidewalk, and purposefully bump into cute ladies. They bump into them, and touch precarious areas on the ladies. "Copping a free feel", as they call it.

Answer: Hawaiian Shirts

The Galasso's were some Italian Mafia. They dropped a bowling ball on a guy's hand and obliterated it, for cheating at bowling. Hawaiian shirts are the signature look for the Galasso Brothers. The flashy array of colors in the Hawaiian shirts lets everyone know they are looking at a Galasso.

7. With the help of the Galasso Brothers, how do the Wanderers and their biggest rival gang decide to squash their 'beef'?

Answer: a football game

There are better ways to settle differences than violence. The game is a close affair, but is disrupted near its conclusion by a rival gang of both the Wanderers and the Del Bombers.

8. Set in the early 1960s, what true life tragedy has the whole Bronx, and all of America (for that matter) shaken up?

Answer: Assassination of JFK

This tragic event brings two love-birds back together, in the movie, that is. Richie and Despie cross paths as many people in the neighborhood stand outside a T.V store, watching a live broadcast of this event on the store's display T.V sets.

9. In the end, the Wanderers and many of the other local Bronx gangs team up to defeat a giant and ruthless gang from a different area of NYC. What is the name of that gang?

Answer: Duckie Boys

The Duckie boys break Perry's arm, kill Turkey, and cause a massive brawl among gangs. These dudes are bad news, very numerous, and very strange. In the end the Wanderers and the Del Bombers, with help from another gang, known as the Wongs, beat the Duckie Boys.

Answer: Bob Dylan

She sits down to hear a few chords of 'The Times, they are a Changing', by who would become the greatest songwriter of all-time, Bob Dylan. Prophetically, Richie does realize that the times are changing, for him and all in their neighborhood.
