Answers

  1. B. The Rocky Horror Picture Show – Released in 1975 and directed by Jim Sharman, it pioneered midnight screenings with interactive rituals. Others are cult favourites but lack its participatory legacy.
  2. B. The Coen Brothers – Joel and Ethan Coen helmed the Dude’s adventures; Tarantino does crime tales, Anderson quirky visuals, Linklater slice-of-life.
  3. B. Marvin – Vincent’s gun goes off in the back seat, killing the hapless associate. Mia survives an OD, Jules quits after a miracle, Wolf cleans up.
  4. B. You do not talk about Fight Club – The second rule is the same; others are later or satirical elements from the film.
  5. B. Edward Norton – Norton is the insomniac everyman whose psyche splits; Pitt is Tyler, others supporting roles.
  6. B. Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. – Iconic revenge vow by Mandy Patinkin; others are Westley, Vizzini, and Miracle Max lines.
  7. B. Monty Python and the Holy Grail – Graham Chapman’s King Arthur faces absurd perils like the Knights Who Say Ni. Others are Python-adjacent but different plots.
  8. B. Ridley Scott – Scott’s dystopian noir defined cyberpunk visuals. Ford stars, Hauer is Roy Batty, Lynch does surrealism.
  9. B. 28 days – Frank’s precise warning “28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, 12 seconds” drives the plot; others are approximate or unrelated.
  10. B. Clue (Cluedo) – The whodunit mansion farce adapts the murder-mystery game directly; others are unrelated board games.
  11. B. Scrunchies – Winona Ryder’s Veronica notes their colour-coded dominance; others are plausible teen accessories but incorrect.
  12. D. Ferris Bueller – Matthew Broderick’s character philosophises during his parade lip-sync; others react differently.
  13. C. Gold-lettered vests – The Coney Island gang’s ‘W’ vests are iconic; colours belong to rivals like Gramercy Riffs (purple) or Baseball Furies.
  14. C. Aliens – The glowing Chevy holds extraterrestrials, sparking punk anarchy; others are typical repo tropes but wrong.
  15. B. Sam Raimi – Raimi’s slapstick gore sequel stars Bruce Campbell as Ash; others are horror peers but different franchises.
  16. B. Graboids – Val and Earl name the Perfection Valley beasts; Tremors is colloquial, others from Dune or generics.
  17. B. Hail to the king, baby – Bruce Campbell’s Ash boasts post-boomstick; others are his groovy exclamations or lines.
  18. B. You’re tearing me apart, Lisa! – Wiseau’s melodramatic breakdown is the film’s defining bad acting moment; others are quotable but secondary.
  19. B. A deformed baby – Henry’s nightmarish family life revolves around the crying infant; others fit Lynch motifs but not this plot.
  20. B. The only solution to this intense morning nausea is… more hair of the dog – Ralph Brown’s Danny offers boozy wisdom; others mock the hungover protagonists’ woes.
