This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Gung Ho (1986).

About the movie: When a Japanese car company buys an American plant, the American liason must mediate the clash of work attitudes between the foreign management and native labor.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gung Ho (1986)?
a.		In a classroom scene, a teacher mentions that Everest is not Earths highest geographical point. She asks what the actual highest point is, and the bell rings. The answer is Mt. Chimborazo in Ecuador, which is the furthest point from the Earths center, but closer to local sea level than Everest. (The Earth bulges at the equator.) However, as the movie is set in 1962, and the analysis that led to Mt. Chimborazo being described that way was performed recently, it is extraordinarily unlikely thats what the teacher is referring to. Also, by the measurement that lists Mt. Chimborazo is highest, Everest is not 2nd, but 10th. Almost certainly, the reference is to K2, which is a point of contention.
b.		Eddie McGee, the winner of the first season of CBSs "Big Brother," originally appeared in the movie, but the scene was cut due to lighting and sound issues.
