Movies That Rock

MOVIES THAT ROCK
For those about to rock, we salute you!

True or False: When Chazz (Brendan Fraser) was given the chance to be heard during a segment called "getting to know your armed assailant" in the movie Airheads, he shouted, "rock and roll!" because he didn't know what else to say?

When William (Patrick Fugit) asked Lester Bangs (Philip Seymour Hoffman) what it took to become a good journalist in Almost Famous he was given the following words of advice, "you have to be honest and unmerciful." Did he repeat any of those words when he told William what great art was about?

"Chaim Witz, Stanley Eisen, Paul Frehley and Peter Criscuola." That was the answer to the question that won some lucky fan four front-row tickets to see KISS at Cobo Hall in Detroit Rock City. It should have been Trip (James DeBello). He was the 106th caller, but the tickets were given to someone else. Tell us why

What was the name of the all-girl punk band that Jacki (Gina Gershon) fronted in Prey For Rock & Roll?

Would a band of the Ramones' stature record a song that was written by a fan? It's highly unlikely, especially if the lyrics were written from a female's point of view. But the song that Riff (PJ Soles) wrote for the band in Rock and Roll High School wasn't. Which two lines would have seemed out of place if it were written for Blondie?

When A.C. (Jason Bonham) told Chris (Mark Wahlberg) that it was his job to live the fantasy that other people only dreamed about in the movie Rock Star, it was clear that it didn't come without a price. What did Chris see that made him think twice about Livin' the Life?

If Riff Raff (Richard O'Brien) kept repeating the words, "he's Dr. Frank-N-Futer's (Tim Curry) creation, but he couldn't have done it without my help," as a running gag in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, he would have been referring to the part he played in the experiment that brought Rocky Horror (Peter Hinwood) to life. Did his assistance extend beyond powering up the Sonic Oscillator?

Answers

Airheads
True

Almost Famous
Lester told William that great art was about "guilt and longing. Love disguised as sex and sex disguised as love." So we're guessing you answered "no." But the correct answer is "yes." He repeated the word "and." Read the question again.

Detroit Rock City
He forgot to give the radio station his name and address.

Prey For Rock & Roll
Clamdandy

Rock and Roll High School
"I just wanna get some chicks" and "the girls out there knock me out."

This is Spinal Tap

Mr. Schneebly, aka Dewey Finn (Jack Black), added two lessons to his curriculum in The School of Rock after he shouted, "what do they teach in this place!?" One was Rock History. What was the other?

This is Spinal Tap It's karaoke night at McCarthy's Bar and Grill. It's also the night of your 27th birthday. After a couple of renditions that would make even the hard of hearing cringe, someone who can actually sing takes the stage. The song he's chosen is Big Bottom - your favorite song from one of your all-time favorite movies. It's a nice little surprise that your girlfriend admits to having something to do with. What you don't know is that your friends have set you up. They've paid the person onstage to get your table to sing-along. They've also paid the manager to pull the plug just at the right moment. If everything goes according to plan, you'll be the only person still singing when the music stops. What line would be sung a cappella if the music stopped after the words, "my baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo"?

Nothing says true love like... For Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey), it was the passion they shared for metal and hard rock music. That was what led them to their fateful encounter with Cassandra (Tia Carrere) in Wayne's World. Two other bands besides Crucial Taunt performed at the Gasworks that night. You shouldn't need a hint on this one, but we'll give you one anyway - both bands had a defining adjective in their moniker.
