The Italian Job Quiz

Post by **simonc** » Tue Apr 15, 2014 12:58 am

Morning all, just for a bit of fun I've got this little quizette together about The Italian Job. OK, there's not a Prelude in sight but as I personally enjoy these little quizzes I'm hoping you guys might like to join in. If it falls flat on its face I promise I'll never post another but if you're up for it, then I'll keep 'em coming.
First prize for ALL correct is a half eaten box of Quality Street ( and I've eaten all the best ones). Off you go then...

“You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!”

It’s The Italian Job Quiz. (It’s big, B.I.G)

1: What is the name of Mr Bridger’s “assistant” in the jail?

2: Charlie has a pet name for the grappling iron which he’s planning to use to break back into the jail. What is name he uses for his favourite piece of ironmongery?

3: To whom does the stolen car belong that picks up Charlie on his release from prison?

4: Benny Hill puts in a majestic performance as who?

5: Who is the mastermind behind the heist of the gold? We see him driving his Lamborghini in the opening sequence and then on the black and white film that his wife gives to Charlie which outlines the details of the robbery. First and last names please.

6: What is the name of Charlie’s girlfriend?

7: In which city does the actual heist take place?

8: A truly classic song is used in the film’s opening sequence. Please name the song and name the person that sings it.

9: What is the name of Mr Bridger’s ‘man on the outside’ who runs his empire while Bridger is in the nick?

10: What type of car does “Lord” Croker collect from the garage which has been in storage for him?

11: How does “Lord” Croker explain his long absence from the UK to the man who has been looking after his car mentioned above?

12: What is the name of Charlie’s tailor that he visits upon his release?

13: In the getaway scene, we see the three minis racing round a banked rooftop while being chased by the police bikes and cars. This banked track was actually a test track for a certain Italian car manufacturer. Name the manufacturer.

14: The minis drove in a certain formation in all the shots that we see them as they escape the police, post-heist. What was that formation?

I can do the same as Doggo (but am more sure about it being Turin)
I also think the car that was collected from the garage was a jag, but not 100% sure. S type is what I'm thinking...
