I might as well tell you right now: There are some ridiculously easy questions, some trick questions, and some very difficult questions in this quiz. It didn't take very long for me to come up with the questions and answers. Some of you who may remember the "El Topo" quiz (from over half a year ago) and have also seen "Suspiria" may get a kick or a laugh out of this one. Basically this is the same questioning style.
