It's Totally an '80s Movie Quiz!

Okay, so maybe you dopes dear people will do better with movie trivia. And, I'm sorry if you don't like trivia in general, but I'm taking off for the long weekend so this is all I have to offer you. I expect to have plenty of emails upon my return.

I tried to make this easier than the music quiz, but the basic set-up is essentially the same. The quiz is broken into three parts: quote ID, scene ID, and general trivia. The rules are also the same: (1) No Googling, Yahooing, using a lifeline, or whatever else lousy cheaters do to get the answers, and (2) Do not answer the questions in the comments section. Even if you only know one or two, you still may not e-blurt them out in the comments section, thus ruining the game for everyone else, Dale. I mean, Mathdude. Um, I mean, no one in particular. Email all answers to me via this magical link.

Okay, ready? Action! (I know, I know...that's so lame.)


Part I: Quotes - Identify the movie that belongs to each quote.

2. "Suck my fat one, you cheap dime store hood."

Part III: General Trivia

2. According to Raymond Babbitt, which airline never had a crash?

3. Originally created as Cheech and Chong Join the Army, the script was rewritten to become this 1981 comedy. Name it.

8. This oft-forgotten 1984 flick, which starred Chris Penn and Eric Stoltz, was considered a sequel to Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Name it. (Bonus point: Who sang the theme song?)

9. Who taught John Travolta how to do the two-step for Urban Cowboy?

10. What was Chuck's apartment number in Night Shift? (This question isn't as random as it seems. If you love this movie like I do, you'll understand.)

Comments

More work? Did you not realize that I am now a lazy unemployed bastard?
I already know I'm going to flame out on this test. I don't think we've ever been in the same aisle at the video store.

Let the endless public mocking commence, because I have absolutely no idea nor have I even ever seen that frickin' movie.

I hate you. I hate you and the dumb horse this trivia quiz rode in on. *arms crossed*

These are too hard, Beckeye. You need a few more "easy" ones if you want to hold our attention.

Falwless - $2! I want my $2! Dogpile on Falwless, boys!

Can you dumb it down just a tad more, perhaps to "who is buried in Grant's tomb" level?
Moxie said…
I've never seen Better Off Dead either. So move over, Falwless. Coach has benched both of us for the season.

I can answer two and that's it. Boy, I think smoked too much during the 80's.

Are you able to produce this in print form and mail it to me?

Great. I know movies way less than music. There's no chance..
Ok, I know some of these but I'm not 100% sure about any of the pictures except for one!
I've never seen B.O.D. but I still knew that answer! What does this define me as?
And the Ferris Bueller thing is really going to bug me so you should tell us the answer.
Hey, who wins? I'm dying to find out how close I came to almost winning.
