40 free Glass (2019 Movie) trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Glass is the film that M. Night Shyamalan spent nearly twenty years working towards. It brings the unbreakable David Dunn and the fragile mastermind Elijah Price back together, adds the many-sided Kevin Wendell Crumb from Split, and locks all three in a psychiatric hospital with a doctor who insists that none of them is special. What follows is part superhero story, part argument about whether such stories can be true. This quiz covers the whole of it. There are questions on the plot, from the opening rescue to the fight outside the hospital and the reveal that follows, and on the powers, weaknesses and names of the three leads. Others go behind the camera: the returning cast and the newcomers, how the film was paid for, where it was made, how the music was put together and what critics and audiences made of it. The questions run from easy openers for anyone who has seen the film once to deep cuts for people who know the whole trilogy. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so a wrong guess still teaches you something.
30 of 40 questions with answers and explanations. Play the quiz
Q 01What is the one weakness of David Dunn, the near-indestructible hero of Glass?
Water
Water drains David's strength, a flaw traced to nearly drowning as a boy. In Glass, his hospital room is fitted with nozzles ready to soak him if he tries to break out.
Q 02Where did Glass get its flashback footage of Elijah Price and Joseph Dunn as children?
Old deleted scenes
Old deleted scenes from Unbreakable, filmed nearly two decades earlier, were cut into the new film. That is why the boy Joseph is the same actor, Spencer Treat Clark, who plays him as an adult.
Q 03Which colour marks out Elijah Price in Unbreakable and Glass, at Samuel L. Jackson's suggestion?
Purple
Purple was the actor's own idea, set against the green worn by David Dunn. The scheme copies the way comic books give each hero and villain a signature colour.
Q 04In Glass, what does Elijah Price secretly do with the surveillance footage of the final fight?
Streams it to a private website
Elijah streams it to a private website, so the cover-up fails even though he does not live to see it. Copies reach his mother, Joseph Dunn and a survivor of Kevin's, who release it to the world.
Q 05James McAvoy, who plays all of Kevin's identities in Glass, is which mutant in the X-Men films?
Professor X
Professor X was McAvoy's role from X-Men: First Class onwards. He went back to it in Dark Phoenix in the same year as Glass, swapping a man of many minds for a reader of them.
Q 06In Glass, what collective name have the media given to Kevin Wendell Crumb and his many identities?
The Horde
The Horde is the label a news report pins on Kevin in the last scene of Split. Glass keeps it as his villain name, a match for the titles carried by David and Elijah.
Q 07Which condition, present from birth, leaves Glass's Elijah Price reliant on a wheelchair?
Brittle bone disease
Brittle bone disease, or osteogenesis imperfecta, meant Elijah was born with both arms and both legs already broken. He reasons that someone at the other extreme, who cannot be hurt, must exist too.
Q 08At the start of Glass, which captives does David Dunn free from an abandoned factory?
Cheerleaders
Cheerleaders, four of them, are being held as a meal for the Beast. David gets them out, but the rescue leads straight to his own capture.
Q 09Anya Taylor-Joy, a returning survivor in Glass, later won a Golden Globe for which miniseries?
The Queen's Gambit
The Queen's Gambit made her a household name in 2020 as the chess prodigy Beth Harmon. A year earlier she was the one person in Glass able to reach the real Kevin.
Q 10In Glass, which procedure does Dr. Ellie Staple carry out on Elijah Price to stop him plotting?
A lobotomy
A lobotomy by surgical laser is meant to silence him, but Elijah had tampered with the machine beforehand. He plays the blank patient until he is alone with an orderly.
Q 11In Glass, how does David Dunn sense the crimes that strangers around him have committed?
By touching them
By touching them, David gets a flash of what they have done, which is why he brushes past people in crowds. One grab at Dr. Staple's hand near the end tells him who she really works for.
Q 12In Glass, what name has the public given to David Dunn after his years of vigilante patrols?
The Overseer
The Overseer is the alias David has earned by the time the story opens. He works as a team with his grown-up son Joseph, who helps him track Kevin down.
Q 13In Glass, which survivor of Kevin's earlier kidnapping is able to draw out his original personality?
Casey Cooke
Q 21In Glass, how does Kevin Wendell Crumb die moments after his original self takes back control?
Shot by a sniper
Shot by a sniper from Dr. Staple's team, Kevin is hit only once the Beast has receded and he is defenceless. The marksman, like the men who deal with David, is no ordinary police officer.
Q 22In Glass, what kind of shop do David Dunn and his son Joseph run between their patrols?
A home security store
A home security store is the family business, which Joseph helps to run. It suits a man who started out as a guard at a football ground and has an instinct for spotting danger.
Q 23Which fictional psychiatric hospital holds David Dunn, Kevin Crumb and Elijah Price in Glass?
Casey Cooke was taken in Split as an offering to the Beast and lived. In Glass she is the only person who can summon the real Kevin, and he dies in her arms.
Q 14Kevin Wendell Crumb of Split and Glass held a job at which Philadelphia attraction?
The zoo
The zoo is where Kevin worked and where, in Split, his underground lair turned out to be.
Q 15Which of Kevin's identities in Split and Glass is a nine-year-old boy whom the others manipulate?
Hedwig
Hedwig is steered by the sterner Patricia and Dennis, who want the Beast set loose. In Glass, Elijah coaxes the boy out first when he needs to reach the Beast.
Q 16In Glass, Joseph Dunn learns which relative of Kevin's died in the train wreck Elijah caused?
His father
His father, Clarence, was on the train that David alone walked away from, which left Kevin with an abusive mother. One act of sabotage made both the hero and the monster.
Q 17In Glass, what does the hospital fire at Kevin to force a switch of identity when he turns violent?
Strobe lights
Strobe lights flash in his face and jolt a different identity into control. The same trick lets Dr. Staple's team stop the Beast outside the factory.
Q 18In Glass, what does Dr. Ellie Staple diagnose in the three patients she is treating?
Delusions of grandeur
Delusions of grandeur is her stated specialism, and she gives each man an ordinary explanation for his gifts. The treatment is a front for a group that wants such people kept quiet.
Q 19In Glass, which symbol tattooed on the wrist marks the members of Dr. Staple's secret organisation?
A clover
A clover, small and black, sits on the wrists of the men who kill Kevin and David. David sees the same mark on Dr. Staple in his last moments.
Q 20In Glass, Elijah Price says the showdown will come at the opening of which new skyscraper?
Osaka Tower
Osaka Tower is only bait: Elijah talks of blowing up a chemical lab inside it so that David will break out to stop him. Nobody in the story ever reaches the building.
Raven Hill Memorial
Raven Hill Memorial had housed Elijah for years before the other two arrived. Its wards were filmed at a real, disused state hospital in Pennsylvania.
Q 24Elijah Price's wig in Unbreakable and Glass was modelled on which 19th-century American statesman?
Frederick Douglass
Frederick Douglass, the abolitionist with the famous sweep of hair, was the model. The actor also asked for the character's cane to be made of glass, to make him more menacing.
Q 25In Glass, M. Night Shyamalan's cameo reveals that his character was once what, back in Unbreakable?
A stadium drug dealer
A stadium drug dealer is the man David confronted in Unbreakable, and the director played him. In Glass he returns as a guard named Jai, who recognises David from his days working there.
Q 26Glass was paid for by its own director, a gamble he first took with which 2015 thriller?
The Visit
The Visit, a low-budget horror that most studios had passed on, proved he could bankroll his own films. He did it again for Split and then for Glass.
Q 27Which studio, owner of the characters from Unbreakable, released Glass outside the United States?
Disney
Disney let David Dunn appear in Split without a fee, on a handshake promise of a part in any sequel. So Glass went out through Universal in America and through its rival everywhere else.
Q 28Which producer, whose horror company made Paranormal Activity, produced Glass with its director?
Jason Blum
Jason Blum built his company on films made for very little, and Glass was the second of the trilogy to carry its name. Split, the first, had cost only $9 million.
Q 29How did Glass's director say he reacted to the film's poor reviews, in a later interview?
He cried
He cried, he admitted, and said a feeling of worthlessness rushed in. His comfort was that the film still reached number one around the world.
Q 30Glass reunited Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson, who had both starred in which 1994 crime classic?
Pulp Fiction
Pulp Fiction was the second of five films the two actors have shared, after a 1993 spoof. Glass, a quarter of a century later, was the fifth.
