Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was tied with string to a nail in Rowan Morrison's school desk ?

Answer: A Beetle

Tying a beetle up like that for amusement isn't my idea of fun.
As Rowan Morrison's schoolfriend said, "Poor old thing".
Sgt Howie: "Then why in God's name do you do it girl?"

2. Which actor was originally asked to play Sgt. Howie?

Answer: Michael York

It's pretty hard to imagine anyone else playing the part as well as Edward Woodward. The same goes for Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, John Hurt as John Merrick (the Elephant Man) and Richard Attenborough as Reg Christie.

3. "The Wicker Man" is stated by Christopher Lee as the finest piece of work he ever made?

Answer: True

I totally agree with that statement, any other actor couldn't play the role of Lord Summerisle with more conviction. I think you could see from his performance that this was more than just another role.
He's still THE Count Dracula for me.

4. What are the names of May Morrison's two daughters?

Answer: Rowan and Myrtle

The part of Rowan Morrison was played by Geraldine Cowper, and the part of her sister Myrtle was played by Jennifer Martin.

5. "The Wicker Man" was nominated for ________ awards?

Answer: 5

"The Wicker Man" was nominated for five Saturn Awards... Best Horror Film, Best Actor (Christopher Lee), Best Director, Best Music and Best Writing. It won the award for Best Horror Film.

6. What is the name of the Sun-God that the islanders worship ?

Answer: Nuada

Cernnunos is the horned god of virility, Sucellus is the god of forests/agriculture, Nemain is the goddess of war.
These are gods of various Celtic religions.

7. Which musician was responsible for most of "The Wicker Man"'s amazing soundtrack?

Answer: Paul Giovanni

The soundtrack to "The Wicker Man" is as important to the film as any of the cast, locations and production team. This was an excellent piece of work by musician Paul Giovanni and many feel, his masterpiece.

8. Which character said the line, "You'll never understand the nature of true sacrifice"?

Answer: May Morrison

I think Sgt Howie finally understood what May Morrison meant.
True sacrifice for her meant something entirely different to what he thought. (for those who haven't seen the movie, I won't reveal what true sacrifice means.)

9. What is the name of the song that Lord Summerisle and Miss Rose sing together?

Answer: The Tinker Of Rye

"'Fair maid,' says he, 'your kettle's cracked, the cause is plainly told, there has so many nails been broke, mine own could not take hold'".

10. Which nursery rhyme do we hear sung as Sgt. Howie is searching house to house for Rowan?

Answer: Baa Baa Black Sheep

"Three bags fuuuuuuuuuulllllllll".
