10 True Romance Questions | Movies Trivia Quiz

Answer: Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette

Slater portrays Clarence Worley, an Elvis-obsessed, comic book store employee, who meets Arquette's Alabama Whitman, a prostitute hired to show Clarence a good time. After falling in love, Clarence tries to free Alabama from her old life with Drexl, her pimp. Unwittingly coming into possession of a suitcase containing something of great value, Clarence and Alabama travel from Detroit to Los Angeles in search of a buyer for their newly found "assets".

The Detroit Mafia and LA Police soon become involved and mayhem ensues, all in the name of love.

Answer: Tony Scott

While Tarantino did write "True Romance", he did not direct it. Tony Scott is the director, and among his credits are "Top Gun", "Days of Thunder" and "Crimson Tide". Scott made some minor adjustments to the script, such as straightening the out of order timeline Tarantino is known for writing into his movies.

He did make one major alteration, opting to change Clarence's fate to the opposite of what Tarantino wrote.

Answer: Blue Lou Boyle

Blue Lou never appears in the film, but it is rumored that Robert De Niro was to play Boyle's voice. That part of the movie was lost on the cutting room floor. When liberating Alabama from Drexl's brothel, Clarence inadvertently takes a suitcase he thinks belongs to her. That suitcase contains illicit goods owned by Blue Lou Boyle and worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Boyle's men track Clarence and Alabama from Detroit to Hollywood trying to recover the suitcase.

Answer: Dick Ritchie

Rapaport has appeared in numerous films, including "Zebrahead", "Higher Learning", "Cop Land", and "Deep Blue Sea". His character supplies a great deal of comic relief in the movie. His audition as a thug on "The New TJ Hooker" is totally inept, yet he gets a call back.

As an aspiring actor, Dick's relationship with a wealthy movie producer's assistant is the key to connecting Clarence with someone with enough money to buy the contents of the suitcase. That purchase leads to the climactic showdown between the producer's bodyguards, the police and the Mob.

Answer: Chris Penn

Officer Dimes and his partner Officer Cody Nicholson, played by Sizemore, are both killed in the shootout at producer Lee Donowitz's hotel room. Bronson Pinchot plays Elliot Blitzer, Donowitz's snivelling, stool pigeon, assistant who, as Dick Ritchie's friend, supplies the link between Clarence and Donowitz.

He is also responsible for the police getting involved in the proceedings. Gandolfini plays Virgil, the mob muscle sent to find and retrieve the suitcase from Clarence and Alabama. After being beaten badly by Virgil, Alabama turns the tables on him with a Swiss Army knife, a can of hair spray, and a toilet tank lid.

Answer: Steve Buscemi

While Buscemi was in "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction", he did not make an appearance in "True Romance". Samuel L. Jackson plays Big Don, who is killed by Drexl early in the movie during a deal for the suitcase. James Gandolfini is the hired gun who beats up Alabama in her motel room at the Safari Motor Inn in Hollywood. Val Kilmer is Clarence's imaginary Elvis/Mentor, and is never clearly visible throughout the movie. Elvis gives Clarence advice throughout the whole movie, and that advice is the catalyst for everything that happens to Clarence from beginning to end.

Answer: Body Bags 2

What is being shown are actually dailies from the sequel to "Coming Home in a Body Bag". According to Elliot, the working title is "Body Bags 2". Lee mocks this title as being unimaginative, and then Clarence tells him how much his uncles, who are Vietnam vets, liked the first movie.

This is all small talk leading up to Clarence and Lee making a deal for the suitcase. Once the money appears, the cops can move in, but Donowitz's bodyguards have something to say before any arrests are made.

Answer: You're so cool

Alabama narrates both the prologue and epilogue of the movie, and it is at the end of "True Romance" that she reveals how she is amazed that amid all the gunshots and violence of the final showdown, the only thought repeating itself in her head is about Clarence..."You're so cool...you're so cool...you're so cool".

Answer: Eggplant

After learning of Coccotti's relationship with Blue Lou Boyle, Clifford, played by Dennis Hopper, knows that he'll be tortured until he tells Vincent where Clarence is. He makes Don Vincenzo, a role played brilliantly by Christopher Walken, so angry by casting doubt on his heritage and calling him an eggplant, that Coccotti shoots him in the face. Clarence's dad dies a quick and painless death instead of a long and agonizing one.

Unfortunately, one of the thugs finds on the refrigerator a note that gives Clarence's address while he's staying in LA.

They spend the rest of the movie only one step behind Clarence until the film's climax.

Answer: False

Clarence appears to be killed when he receives a head wound during the final firefight. In Tarantino's original screenplay, he does die, but in director Tony Scott's version, he merely loses an eye and is knocked unconscious and bloody. At the end of the movie, Clarence, Alabama, and their son Elvis are sharing quality family time on a beach in Cancun, Mexico. We can only assume that they live happily ever after.
