explored it. The Spear of Destiny was stored there after being stolen from Versailles and
Hans Grosse leads its brutal guards. Commando B.J. Blazkowicz escaped from it after being

prison, the setting of a ground-breaking “3D” first-person shooter.
Answer: Castle Wolfenstein
6.
After making several guest appearances on Baywatch, she finally made the big time with a

a hunting knife — or Jon Bon Jovi as a journalism teacher?” For ten points, name this 2005

and To Kill a Mockingbird, before he first took the director’s chair himself in 1969 for The
Sterile Cuckoo. Although he was planning an FDR biopic, The Devil’s Own was his final film
because he was killed on the Long Island Expressway in a freak 1999 car accident that may
retroactively justify the worldview of his so-called “Paranoia Trilogy.” For ten points, name this
director of The Parallax View, Klute, All the President’s Men and Sophie’s Choice.
Answer: Alan J. Pakula
9.

points, name this long-time Republican Senator from Oregon.

Guy Peter Griffin’s first erection. Created by Donald Bellisario and premiering in 1984, it
centered on the unlikely named Stringfellow Hawke, who is asked by the CIA to recover the
title character, also known as “The Lady”, from Dr. Moffet. Hawke then refused to turn “The
Lady” over to the CIA until they provided him with more information about his equally-unlikelynamed brother St. John, who was MIA. For ten points, name this series starring Jan-Michael
Vincent, Ernest Borgnine, and (as “The Lady”) a high-tech, awesomely destructive helicopter.
