ANSWERS

1) C - Bryan Singer (Singer’s production company is called Bad Hat Harry Productions)

2) A – 1941 (Backlinie appeared at the beginning of 1941 in a scene directly parodying Jaws - instead of being attacked by a shark she is picked up by the periscope of a submarine emerging underneath her)

3) D - Moby Dick (the scene was set to feature Quint laughing so loudly at the film that he cleared the cinema. Spielberg approached star Gregory Peck (who held the rights to the movie) who refused to grant him permission to use any footage from it – this was on account of Peck disliking his own performance in Moby Dick. After the success of Jaws Moby Dick ended up being re-released with the tagline ‘Before the Shark there was the Whale’)

4) D - Lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes

5) C - Charlton Heston (apparently Heston was so annoyed about not getting the role that he vowed never to work with Spielberg. True to his word he turned down a role in Spielberg’s 1941)

6) A – Christine

7) B - The Undersea Kingdom

8) B – Christmas

9) B - Close Encounters of the Shark Kind (although, considering the other three movies are real shark movies, there’s every chance someone will use this title one day. As of 2016 this answer is still correct!)

10) C - Kick the Can
