This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Hook (1991).

About the movie: When Capt. Hook kidnaps his children, an adult Peter Pan must return to Neverland and reclaim his youthful spirit in order to challenge his old enemy.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hook (1991)?
a.		The film contains a number of subtle references to the James Barrie play and book. These include: * An elderly Tootles is one of the characters in the film, and is referred to as Wendys "first orphan". Tootles was one of the original Lost Boys. * In both the book/play and the film, Wendy greets Peter by calling him "Boy". * Granny Wendy recites a prayer-like speech as she leaves Maggie and Jack in the nursery, asking the lights to guard the sleeping babes. This is a direct quotation from the book. In the book Mrs. Darling says, "Night-lights are the eyes a mother leaves behind her to guard her children." (Chapter 2: The Shadow) * When Tinker Bell is first trying to get Peter to remember her, she says, "I drank poison for you!" This is a direct reference to the events in Chapter 13: Do You Believe in Fairies. * The invisible dinner sequence is inspired by the lines in the book: "The difference between (Peter) and the other boys at such a time was that they knew it was make-believe, while to him make-believe and true were exactly the same thing. This sometimes troubled them, as when they had to make-believe that they had had their dinners." from Chapter 6: The Little House * After human-sized Tinkerbell kisses Peter, and he remembers he has to save his children, Tink says to him, "You silly ass, Go!" In the book, Tinkerbell repeatedly calls Peter a "silly ass". * Toward the end of the movie, Tootles says "Ive missed the adventure again, havent I, Peter?" This is in reference to the book, as it is mentioned that the reason Tootles was so humble was because, by some misfortune, he missed most of the adventures the Lost Boys participated in.
b.		Just as the original NeverEnding Story covered the first half of the actual book, this movie covered most of the second half. The book differs from the movie in many ways. For instance, in the book, Bastians father never reads the NeverEnding Story, and Bastian "reads" the entire book in one sitting.
c.		"The Screen Guild Theater" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on October 4, 1943 with Martha Scott and Dennis OKeefe reprising their film roles.
d.		James Stewart actively sought the lead role, despite being too old for it, because the film reflected his right-wing views.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hook (1991)?
a.		The bar in the beginning of the film where Steve Buscemi and Cheech Marin talk is an actual bar in Acuna, Mexico called the Corona Club. The bar is a lot cleaner and bigger in reality, but its like walking right into the movie. They also have quite a few pictures of the stars and crew of the movie on the walls.
b.		The blonde woman in the poster artwork for this movie is actress Suzee Slater.
c.		Denmarks first and only "Monster" movie.
d.		Steven Spielberg originally slated this film as a vehicle for Michael Jackson in 1983 after the latter expressed an interest in starring in it and contributing to its soundtrack. Spielberg instead decided to focus on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and shelved the project until 1989, when pre-production the film began.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hook (1991)?
a.		Porn star Ron Jeremy flew to Paris to film a small part in the film that was eventually cut by the studio.
b.		One of only three Star Trek movies to have any swear words spoken. The others are Star Trek: Generations, and Star Trek: First Contact. In each case, the cursing was a single use of the "s**t" word.
c.		Maggie Smith, who played an 80 something year old Granny Wendy, was only 57 at the time the film as made.
d.		A Jewel Production. Universal, not owning a theater chain, utilized a 3-tiered brand system to sell its product through the end of 1929: Red Feather (low budget programmers), Bluebird (mainstream) and Jewel (big budget prestige pictures designed to command higher roadshow ticket prices).

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hook (1991)?
a.		The idea for the image of the headless man came to Oliver Stone in a dream.
b.		While Peter is on his cellphone, the children are running around him. Jack stands in front of a light which makes his shadow grow large against the wall. The shadow is right next to Peter while he is on the phone. This is a reference to Peter Pan and his shadow.
c.		The clip of the best man knocking the bride into the pool was put online to serve as a viral video trailer, the first time this has ever been attempted by a feature film. Over 30 million people have seen the clip online and another 40 million have seen it on television.
d.		The first attempt to film this property was by Louis B. Mayer and Jack Cummings in 1957. Planned as a Cinerama release with a screenplay by John Lee Mahin and new songs by Alan Jay Lerner and Arthur Schwartz, the project was abandoned when Mayer died. Gary Cooper was being sought to play Ben Rumson.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hook (1991)?
a.		EASTER EGG: On the DVD go to the second page of the Special Features, select "6th street bridge" press right twice and down twice. This will highlight Samuel L Jacksonss cap. Press Ok or equivalent and you will be taken to the SWAT team and crew playing golf.
b.		A number of lines in the films dialogue are direct homages to the James Barrie book. Among them are: * "When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousands pieces and they went skipping about. That was the beginning of fairies." In the film this is recited by Granny Wendy and Maggie Banning. In the book it is spoken by Peter to Wendy. (Chapter 3: Come Away, Come Away!) * "I cant come with you. I have forgotten how to fly. Im old, Peter. Ever so much more than twenty. I grew up a long time ago." The line is spoken by an aged Wendy to Peter in both the film and book. * "Strike, Peter. Strike true." In the film this is spoken by a defeated Hook to Peter. In the book it is spoken by a guilty Tootles to Peter in Chapter 6: The Little House. * When Peter and his family arrive in London at the start of the film, Peter tells his Children "first impressions are the most important". In the book, Peter tells the lost boys "Look your best, first impressions are awfully important" when they first enter the house they built for Wendy in Chapter 6: The little House. * When Peter confronts Hook for the final battle at the end of the film, they say: "Peter Pan, prepare to meet thy doom." "Dark and sinister man, have at thee." This exchange is almost directly lifted from the book, Chapter 15: Hook or Me This Time, the original line being: "Proud and insolent youth, prepare to meet thy doom." "Dark and sinister man, have at thee." * During the duel between Peter and Hook, Hook says "Thus perished Peter Pan". This is a flip of the original line "Thus perished Jas. Hook", which is from Chapter 15: Hook or Me This Time. * Peters line in the movie "to live will be an awfully big adventure" refers to a line in the book where Hook says: "to die will be an awfully big adventure" in Chapter 8: the Mermaids Lagoon.
