TEST YOUR MOVIE KNOWLEDGE WITH A COMPLETE SET OF QUESTIONS TO DOZENS OF CLASSIC FILMS
From the dark side...
To our side.

23. What did the canister that was found in the statue of St. Dionysius supposedly contain?

24. Remember the flask that changed hands in the chapter entitled Underwater Chamber? What was lost when it sank into the depths of the old Vandeveer Reservoir?

25. A crocodile egg has to be kept at a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius with 90-100 percent humidity in order for it to hatch. What type of environment was needed for Sammael's eggs?

26. When Abe asked Hellboy to remind him why he kept risking his life for the Bureau, this was the answer he got.

27. Abe had the ability to see into the past. He could also see into the future. How was he able to share those visions with someone else without saying a word?

28. Whose name was found on the scraps of paper that were pieced together?
            
29. Broom managed to obtain a copy of the List of Avignon. What was that?

30. There was something different about Hellboy's appearance when Rasputin gave Professor Bruttenholm a brief glimpse of the future. Do you remember what it was?

31. We'll give you the answer to this one, you give us the question - He almost fell when he jumped across two buildings. He also threw a rock that hit Agent Myers in the head.

32. Some people listen to music when they need a lift. What did Liz do whenever she felt depressed or impatient?

33. True or False: Abe was trying to align the colors on a Rubik's Cube when he admitted that he wasn't much of a problem solver.

34. Broom knew that he was a dying man. But he didn't succumb to the disease he was diagnosed with. How would the story have changed if he had?

35. What did Agent Manning (Jeffrey Tambor) dislike about the cemetery that was searched?

36. Here's a word we bet you can't even pronounce: Volokolamsk. Was that the name of a person, a place or a thing?

37. One of our favorite lines in the movie came from the corpse that was resurrected. Were the words, "If I had legs, I'd kick your ass," his last?

38. The scars on Kroenen's body were beyond grotesque. Where did they come from?

39. Remember the role that James Earl Jones played in Conan the Barbarian? Kroenen was the head of an organization with an identical name, give or take a letter.

40. Kroenen was almost unstoppable. But he couldn't survive a two-story fall onto a row of spikes. Okay, maybe he could. That would explain why Hellboy did this.

41. Why did Rasputin need Hellboy to bring about the apocalypse?

42. Fast-forward to the chapter entitled How Big Could It Be? How did Hellboy slay the monstrosity that swallowed him alive?

43. What makes a man a man? Is it his origins? The way he comes to life? The film's final line of dialogue answered that question with these words.
HELLBOY
Directed by Guillermo del Toro, 2004

1. The film's opening sequence didn't explain how Hellboy (Ron Perlman) came into being, or even where he came from, but it did answer two questions about his origin. Tell us what those questions were.

2. What was Hellboy's real name?

3. How did Professor Bruttenholm (John Hurt) gain Hellboy's trust?

4. Those who believed in the Ogdru Jahad also believed that the creatures slumbered in a crystal prison, which was said to exist….
  A. In the coldest regions of space.
  B. In the darkest regions of the
  known universe.
  C. On a desolate planet that orbited
  two suns.
  D. No one knew where the Ogdru
  Jahad slumbered.

5. The Ogdru Jahad were known by another name. Do you remember what it was?

6. Who was Professor Bruttenholm talking to when he said this about Kroenen (Ladislav Beran): "if he's here, this is worse than I thought"?

7. Here's an easy one. What part of Rasputin's (Karel Roden) body had to be replaced after his resurrection?

8. That resurrection couldn't have been completed without someone's blood. If you remember where that blood came from, you should also remember if it was taken against the person's will. Was it?

9. Where was the headquarters for the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense located?

10. How was the facility kept hidden from the public?

11. True or False: One could one get past the Bureau's front gate with an eyeball.

12. Abe Sapien (Doug Jones/David Hyde Pierce) wasn't the first person that Agent Myers (Rupert Evans) met at the Bureau, but you could say that he met him before he met the professor, couldn't you?

13. If we asked you what the connection was between Abe and Abraham Lincoln you'd mention the date on his tank, wouldn't you? You might but we wouldn't. Why's that, you ask? Because certain numbers and exact dates are always difficult to remember. So, we're going to cut you some slack on this one and ask you an easier question - where was the tank found?

14. What word did Professor Bruttenholm say Agent Myers would hear frequently at the Bureau?

15. One of the items that Myers saw during his tour of the facility was the Spear of Destiny. Broom mentioned that it was acquired by Hitler in 1938. But it was referred to it by another name. Did he call it the Spear of Longinus, the Spear of Christ or the Holy Lance?

16. Who introduced Myers to Hellboy?

17. The tracking bullets that Hellboy used contained Holy Water, cloverleaves and two other ingredients. If you need a hint, one could stop a werewolf dead in its tracks.

18. Hellboy found some trace of Sammael before he encountered the creature. Do you remember what it was?

19. How did Hellboy save Agent Myers' life during their pursuit of the said creature?

20. When Sammael returned to Rasputin, it looked nothing like the creature that Hellboy electrocuted in the subway tunnel. What did it become?

21. We don't know if this idea would have worked, but the marketing department could have saved themselves a bundle of cash if Hellboy became a spokesperson for Bud Light. What scene would you point to if we asked you to show us where that product was placed?

22. No one wants to be committed to a psychiatric hospital, but it certainly did Liz Sherman (Selma Blair) a world of good because she left with a better understanding of herself. What did she learn about her ability to produce fire?
