Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. To what series of books does Tom Servo compare the film?

Answer: The Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys mysteries

Tom says this early in the film. The movie "Being From Another Planet" was also known as "Time Walker," and was released in 1982.

2. What does Crow say when a group of people open the sarcophagus?

Answer: "Let's see--you haven't flossed, and you don't brush."

The plot of this film centered around a mummy found in the tomb of King Tutankhamen. It is not, however, King Tut himself.

3. In the film, Shari Belafonte-Harper plays Linda, a college student. What does Linda do on campus?

Answer: She is a DJ at the radio station

At the radio station, Linda plays some songs in honor of the mummy's rampage. Belafonte-Harper also appeared in the movie "French Silk."

4. In one scene, the mummy attacks the people at the babysitter's house. What does Crow say the mummy looks like?

Answer: An asparagus monster

The mummy moves very slowly. Several times in the film, the robots and Joel note that it shouldn't have been very difficult to escape the mummy's attacks.

5. During a break in the film, the robots put on what kind of show?

Answer: A haunted high school basement

The robots charge Joel in order to see the little performance of haunted house stunts they have arranged. Joel complains about having to cash in after nearly every demonstration, but he plays along.

6. Which of the following characters was not supposed to get an x-ray?

Answer: Ellen Winters

Ellen was played by Greta Staf. The movie was directed by Tom Kennedy.

7. Who does Crow think made the music for the party scene?

Answer: The producer's brother-in-law

One of the scenes is set at a fraternity house party on campus. There is a rock song playing in the background. It's an original song, which probably cut down on royalties the film's producers would have to pay.

8. When the people run out of the party, who does Crow say they look like?

Answer: The original Broadway cast of "Pippin"

The mummy attacks the people at the party. Everyone runs in panic. Many of the party guests had dressed up like mummies or other "ancient Egyptian" characters.

9. How much of a donation does Dr. Wendell Rossmore think the school stands to lose when the news of the mummy rampage gets out?

Answer: Half a million dollars

Dr. Wendell Rossmore was played by James Karen. He was well known as the star of a series of commercials for the supermarket chain Pathmark.

10. What does student Susan Fuller say her brother used to do?

Answer: Build radios

Fuller is chased by the mummy in a scene toward the end of the film. She escapes, by way of jumping off the second floor of the library. Happily, Fuller emerges unhurt, although the robots remark that this is a case of incredible luck.
