These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-04-09,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of the Cellar Rats and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
** Final, Round 9 - Entertainment
* Eurovision Song Contest
1. In 1956 Switzerland was the first country to host the Eurovision

the real-life person she plays has a cameo role as a waitress.
Name the movie.
6. Mike Tyson has a small role in which film, demanding the return
of his pet tiger?

Development Corp. was a 1970 release directed by Donald Shebib,
about two men from Cape Breton who move to Toronto. Name it.
8. "Mon Oncle Antoine" (1971) was directed by what noted Quebec
filmmaker who lived 1930-86? In 2016 it was alleged that he
had sexually abused children.
9. This 1979 David Cronenberg film starred Oliver Reed as an
unconventional psychotherapist and Samantha Eggar as a patient
with an... unusual method of childbirth. Name the movie.
* Canadians at the Oscars
10. What Canadian literary adaptation, starring Richard Dreyfus
and Randy Quaid, became the first Canadian film to get a major

by her husband. It is estimated to have lost $147,000,000 US.
14. In 2000, John Travolta starred in this adaptation of a sci-fi
novel by L. Ron Hubbard. It set a record at the time for

movie's budget.

$150,000,000 US. Name this adaptation from the novel of the

C3. In the movie "Gladiator", in the "Battle of Carthage
reenactment" scene in the Colosseum, when one of the chariots

"2010" (1984 sequel to "2001: A Space Odyssey"). 4 for Erland,
Dan Blum, Joshua, and Dan Tilque.
I accepted anything with a main title of "2010". Clarke's original
novel was "2010: Odyssey Two", but various subtitles -- or none --
were tried on different releases of the movie.

4 for Joshua.
He also wrote or co-wrote both movies, as well as a third one in
2018 called "La chute de l'empire américain" or "The Fall of the
American Empire"; while connected to the earlier movies, this one
was not another actual sequel, and it was not Oscar-nominated.

New Zealander, British, and Irish -- accepting any one. 4 for Joshua.
3 for Calvin.
He was born in Northern Ireland, which makes him both a British and an
Irish citizen, to a New Zealander father, and was raised in New Zealand.
In the original game only New Zealander was accepted.

This will be the last QFTCI question ever to require a two-part
answer, unless the rules get changed again in the future, or someone
forgets them. There has always been a minority sentiment in the
league to the effect that such questions are ipso facto too hard,
but after the Cellar Rats were so gung-ho about asking them during the
season ending with this game, at the following Captains' Meeting the
sentiment boiled over into a majority vote of 9-4 to prohibit them.

"The Green Berets" (1968). Supposedly the sunset is wrong because
it is seen from an unspecified coastal point in Vietnam, and the
country is on the east coast of Asia. But in fact southern Vietnam
has well over 100 miles of west-facing coast on the Gulf of Thailand.
