65 free Space Jam trivia questions with answers. Space Jam is the rare 1996 movie people still argue about, and this quiz is for everyone who can name all five Monstars' victims. The questions cover Michael Jordan's return from baseball, Bugs and the Tune Squad, Lola Bunny's debut, Danny DeVito's Swackhammer and his Nerdlucks, Bill Murray's late arrival, the Nike Super Bowl ad that started it all, the record-setting animation, the six-times-platinum soundtrack, the box office, the website that never changed, and LeBron James, Al-G Rhythm and the Goon Squad in Space Jam: A New Legacy. Easy questions ask what was in the secret stuff and who voices Swackhammer; the hard ones want the cancelled sequel's villain, the actor first pencilled in for Swackhammer and who played keyboards on the soundtrack. Good for a 90s movie night, a family quiz or settling a group-chat argument. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on both films, Lola Bunny and the soundtrack, and each question carries the sentence that backs it up.

Joe Pytka made his name in TV commercials and had already directed Jordan and Bugs Bunny together in a Nike Super Bowl spot, which is why the studio hired him.

Q 03Which actor voices Swackhammer, the alien amusement park boss in Space Jam?

Q 04In Space Jam, the Tunes choose basketball because the Nerdlucks are what?
Tiny
Tiny: after a spelling bee and a bowling tournament are floated, the Tunes pick the game short legs can't win, only for the aliens to steal NBA talent and grow into giants.

The Monstars
The Monstars even change voices: as Nerdlucks the five aliens are all played by women, as their transformed selves by men.
Q 06Which NBA legend appears in Space Jam with his talent untouched by the Nerdlucks?
Larry Bird
Larry Bird, who had retired from the Celtics in 1992, turns up as a friend of Jordan's, while the Nerdlucks take their talent from stars still playing in NBA games.
Q 07Which sport has Jordan quit basketball to play when Space Jam's main story begins?
Baseball
Baseball. Jordan really did leave the NBA for minor-league baseball while the film was being planned, so the writers put it in the script.
Q 08What is Jordan doing when the Looney Tunes pull him into their world?
Playing golf
Playing golf. Jordan has just hit a hole in one, and when he reaches into the cup for his ball the Tunes suck him down the hole.

Water
Water. The Tunes rally after drinking it, and when they beg for more they learn the truth: they had the special stuff inside them all along.
Q 10Who unexpectedly shows up to join the Tune Squad in the final seconds?
Bill Murray
Bill Murray came in for a single early scene, the director recalls, but once he saw how the cartoon shots were staged, extra scenes were written to bring him back for the finale.
Q 11How does Jordan score the winning basket in Space Jam?

Stretches his arm to dunk: held back by the aliens as time runs out, he takes Bugs's advice that cartoon physics work for him here too and reaches all the way to the rim.
Q 12What happens to Swackhammer after his own team turns on him?
Launched to the moon in a missile
Launched to the moon in a missile, once Jordan makes his henchmen see that they no longer have to take his bullying; they then hand back the stolen talent.
Q 13Who plays Jordan's publicist Stan Podolak in Space Jam?
Wayne Knight
Q 21Space Jam grew out of which 1992 Nike Super Bowl ad pairing Jordan with Bugs Bunny?
Hare Jordan
Hare Jordan took about six months and $1 million to make, partly because Warner Bros. fought Nike's plan to modernise Bugs before giving way.
Q 22Before Bugs Bunny, Nike ads paired Michael Jordan with Mars Blackmon, a character from which film?
She's Gotta Have It
She's Gotta Have It gave Nike its fast-talking Jordan fan; the adman behind those spots then chose Bugs as the next partner because the rabbit was his childhood hero.

He couldn't act
Wayne Knight, Newman from Seinfeld, got the part only after the director's first choice, Michael J. Fox, fell through.
Q 14Which team name does Bugs dismiss in Space Jam as the idea of a 'Mickey Mouse organization'?

Q 15Who voices Bugs Bunny in the 1996 film Space Jam?
Billy West
Billy West recalls that he was working on The Howard Stern Show when one of the film's producers, there to make Stern's own movie, heard his voices in the studio and asked him to audition.

Kath Soucie
Kath Soucie had no earlier voice to copy, because Lola was a brand-new character created for the film as a match for Bugs.

Doll
Doll. Bugs uses the word while challenging her to a game of one-on-one, and she delivers the line only after showing him up on the court.
Q 18Which earlier comic-book girlfriend of Bugs was reportedly dropped from Space Jam for looking too much like him in drag?
Honey Bunny
Honey Bunny had been Bugs's comic-book girlfriend since the 1960s, but an artist is said to have scrawled 'Bugs in drag?' on her new model sheet, and Lola was created instead.
Q 19Which college's shorts does Jordan send the Tunes to fetch in Space Jam, having worn them under his Bulls uniform?
North Carolina
North Carolina. The joke was true to life: Jordan really did keep wearing his old college shorts under his Bulls uniform, and in the film he has to promise the disgusted Tunes that he washed them.
Q 20Who voices Lola Bunny in Space Jam: A New Legacy?
Zendaya
Zendaya's Lola was redrawn with a less curvy look because the director found the 1996 version 'very sexualized', a change that set off a loud debate online.

Q 25Which director offered to polish Space Jam's screenplay but was kept off the film by Warner Bros.?
Spike Lee
Spike Lee, the film's director recalls, offered to polish the script, but the studio had not forgiven him for getting friends to put up money to finish Malcolm X.

Q 27Robert Zemeckis reportedly warned Space Jam's producer 'Don't do it, it nearly killed me', speaking of which of his films?

Q 29Chuck Jones complained that Porky Pig would never say which line from Space Jam?
I wet myself
'I wet myself', Porky's reply when a giant alien says 'Boo', was not Jones's only complaint: he also said Bugs would never need to recruit help to see off a few aliens.
Q 30What happened to Chuck Jones after he told Space Jam's animators what he really thought of their film?
Escorted off the lot
Escorted off the lot: invited to give a congratulatory speech at a studio dinner, the veteran Looney Tunes director is said to have torn into the film instead.
