About This Quiz
If you remember 1994, you remember it was the year of Jim Carrey. He starred in the No. 1 hit movie "Ace Ventura," he starred in the No.1 hit movie "The Mask," and he starred in the No. 1 hit movie, and his comedic opus, "Dumb and Dumber." The movie instantly became a classic and is considered one of the greatest comedies of all time, but Harry and Lloyd were almost played by very different people.
Both Steve Martin and Martin Short were offered movie parts, and the studio had no idea who they wanted to play the role of Harry Dunne. For the entire start of filming, the lead characters weren't filmed together because Harry could be replaced any day. Luckily no changes were made, and today the movie is an American classic.
The cross-country road trip in a dog van and mini scooter has given us memorable quotes, moments and characters. Almost everyone has seen "Dumb and Dumber," but only die-hard fans know all the facts. Can you remember what Lloyd said to Mary when he dropped her off at the airport? What's the first thing Harry and Lloyd bought with their new-found riches? What was that FBI agent's name and what state are Harry and Lloyd from? Put your skills to the test and see how well you know the movie "Dumb and Dumber."
