Good quiz. Got 18 out of 22. Did not know who the original star trek doctor was or greys anatomy character is, plus did not know the name of the university in montreal. The question about raincoat in britain escaped my attention. Oh well.

Misspelled the Die Hard guy and accidentally got "US Political maverick", which I have to say is an insufficient clue. Should at least give a hint to period like saying "2008 Presidential candidate"

I literally spelled "McClane" at least 8 other ways. Since it's a MOVIE, any chance of giving out some phoenetic breaks on that one??

Yeah, my neighbors up the street were the McLeans, pronounced exactly the same way as the Die Hard character's surname...lots of ways to spell that surname, and, as the prior poster said, there should be some leeway on this one since many of us would have only heard the surname.

Yeah, I spent half the quiz trying to get the spelling and didn't. The current percentage for that one is 36%. I bet a lot more than that knew the answer.
