Who played the lead, John/Number Four?
Orlando Bloom
Thomas Dekker
Alex Pettyfer
Pettyfer broke through as Alex Rider in "Stormbreaker." He also did some modeling for Burberry -- and seriously, why wouldn't he?
Jared Padalecki
What is the name of the planet Four came from?
Delta Tau
Lorien
Lorien was taken over by the evil Mogadorians. Is it just us, or does it sound like all these names came from an alien-name generator?
Pandora
Regulus Four
What is Four doing when we first see him?
daydreaming in school
reliving the invasion of Lorien in a nightmare

What is Henri's relationship to Four?
his father
his grandfather, as Loriens age much more slowly than humans on Earth
his guardian
Henri passes as Four's father. When they're living in Florida, he has a hip and youthful half-ponytail, but when they move to Ohio, he cuts his hair into a more paternal short style.
his spiritual teacher
What is Henri's main weapon?
a pistol
a curved and serrated scimitar
Only certain Loriens -- like the nine who escaped -- develop the weaponized light that Four has in his palms. However, the base of Henri's scimitar does glow a bright blue.
a powerful light, similar to the one Four can throw from his palms
a long, heavy staff
What is Four doing when he has the warning vision of Three dying?
gardening outside his house
hanging on the beach with friends
sleeping
swimming with a friend
The scene is set up as a homage to the opening scene of "Jaws." We see both John's and the girl's legs treading water, from below, as ominous music plays, and we know something bad is about to happen.

What else happens while John is underwater having the vision?
his nose bleeds
he develops a scar on his leg
The vision tells John that Number Three is dead. He sees the face of a Mogadorian saying, "I want you to feel this." Back on shore, everyone at the beach sees John's glowing scar -- worse news for him.
his amulet breaks
he passes out
What is the name of the Ohio town that Four and Henri move to?
Stanton
Defiance
Paradise
It's common in fiction for writers to give towns idyllic names when the crap's about to hit the fan. For example, naming a town "Comity" when its residents are about to succumb to a rage virus that makes them kill each other.
Smallville
Why was it important the nine children escape Lorien?
just because children are the future
they were the sons and daughters of leaders
they have special powers and were meant to protect their people
both #2 and #3
The nine children are the sons and daughters of the "Loric Garde," who have special powers. The Mogadorians are killing them in their numerical order.

What hitches a ride from Florida to Ohio with Henri and Four?
a poisonous form of fungus
a lizard
He looks a lot like the Geico gecko. Maybe he's worried about how much money they're spending on car insurance.
one of Daniel's friends from the beach
a rogue, helpful Mogadorian
What is the Loric term for the Nine's special powers?
bloodlines
legacies
Among Four's legacies are his great strength and ability to start a car without a key. The latter, of course, comes in handy during a chase scene.
inheritances
rights
Once in Ohio, what kind of dog does the lizard turn into ?
a beagle
He doesn't look like much a watchdog, but Four says he'll be another pair of eyes and ears watching the house. He also names him "Bernie Kosar" after a famous football player.
a German Shepherd
a mastiff
a pug

What is Number Six doing when we first see her?
surfing the Internet for clues to the other Numbers' locations
searching and then destroying the Florida cabin Four just left
The audience is intended to not know who Six is, or which side she's on. Her behavior at the Florida cabin, including slashing open the mattresses and setting the house on fire, seems pretty hostile.
running away from Mogadorian attackers
fighting with and killing a Mogadorian attacker
What is Henri's "business I need to take care of" in Ohio?
he needs to retrieve funds from a safe-deposit box there
he needs to sell real estate he owns there
he's looking for clues in the disappearance of a local man
The relevance of why Henri is interested in Malcolm Spellman is slow to be revealed. Frankly, we're more interested in Henri's ability to so easily erase photos and video from the Internet. He could make a fortune in "reputation management."
he wants to visit an old flame there
What is Sarah in trouble for when John first gets to school?
cutting class
fighting
posting pictures of students and teachers on her site without permission
Sarah's website is called "Strangers in Paradise." She also lives in an alternate universe where gorgeous, artistic high school girls eat lunch by themselves.
correcting the teachers in class

Who was Malcolm Spellman?
Sam's dad
a foreman at the steel mill
an amateur UFO researcher
all of these
Actually, aren't all UFO enthusiasts "amateur" by definition? It's not exactly a paying profession.
The Mogadorians have exotic geometric tattoos, super-sharp teeth, and what other feature?
seven- to eight-foot height
metal clawlike fingernails
parenthetical lines along both sides of their noses
The lead Mogadorian covers these up when he goes grocery shopping. What purpose they serve is never exactly clear.
bright red tongues
What is the lead Mogadorian buying in the supermarket?
gallons of milk
a number of frozen turkeys
Apparently whatever's in the truck prefers poultry to red meat. However, the Mogadorians don't even defrost the turkeys first -- which is just uncivilized.
a large number of steaks
science and astronomy magazines
Advertisement
What does Henri find under the floor of the steel mill?
a bright blue geode
a skeleton
concentric-ring symbols like Four's scars
both #1 and #3
Still, Henri believes he's found more evidence that Malcolm Spellman was on to something. That something, of course, is related to the Lorien children and the Mogadorians.
What does the sign in the hayride say, which disturbs Four?
"abandon hope all ye who enter here"
"Hell's Gate ... no turning back"
"prepare to die"
"your number's up"
Four and Sarah go on a haunted hayride, which really seems odd. A Halloween-like attraction ... at a Spring Carnival?
What does Four do while walking home from Sarah's house?
goes back and breaks Mark's arm
lights his way with his glowing palms
runs so fast he breaks the sound barrier
shatters streetlights
He discovers his ability to do this by accident. The first one breaks when he pumps his fist in excitement (he's just kissed Sarah for the first time). Then he shatters the second one for practice.

Who saw Four use his powers in the woods?
Henri
Mark
Sam
Technically, we suppose Mark's friend -- the one Four held up against a tree and burned with his hand -- could be said to have witnessed Four's powers, too. But it's Sam who wants to talk about it afterward.
Sarah
Why, according to Henri, is Four so attached to Sarah?
it's a protective instinct he was born with, so he'd do his duty as part of the Loric Garde
the Lorics are monogamous and love one person forever
When Henri says they have to leave Paradise, Four lashes out, using his powers. This isn't just puppy love.
Sarah was born on another planet as well
she's his soulmate
What does Henri give Four in the truck, that will help him track the other five?
a new amulet
the blue geode
Really? The key to finding the rest of the Lorien Guard is an eight-year-old's favorite Christmas present?
a dowsing rod
the ornate box that was his father's
Advertisement
What does Sam bring along when he gives Four a ride to Indiana?
snacks
his father's secret notes on the Mogadorians
a two-way radio to stay in contact with
a shotgun
Sam is eager to be part of the rescue of Henri. This is, in part, because he thinks the Mogadorians might have taken his own long-missing father.
What happens to Henri's body when he dies?
it dissolves into blue light
it instantly becomes a skeleton
it turns to ash and ascends into the night sky
We also saw this happen to Three in the beginning of the film. He was killed by the Mogadorian commander and dissolved as his body was thrown over a cliff or a bluff.
nothing -- Four and Sam have to bury it like a regular human body
Where does Four find Sarah after returning to Paradise?
at her house
at a party
The logic here is hard to follow: Sarah's been a social outcast since her jealous ex-boyfriend Mark badmouthed her. So, of course, she gets invited to a hot party. Then, once there, she sits on the roof all by herself. Yeah, we get it.
in the darkroom at school
in the woods where he fought Mark's friends and rescued her

Where does the climactic battle with the Mogadorians take place?
a historic Civil War battlefield
the high school
The school gets pretty well trashed by the end of it. Teenagers in the audience must have found this cathartic.
a shopping mall
the town square
What does Four see when he comes out of the darkroom, after Sam warns him the Mogs are closing in?
the Mogadorians' vehicles through the window
a Mogadorian searching the halls
a flyer for the school musical, which is an adaptation of Close Encounters
a floor buffer running by itself, spreading blood around the floor
Four and Sarah saw the janitor running the buffer on their way in. Naysayers have pointed out that the buffer shouldn't still be running -- they stop without a hand on the controls.
What does Six tell Four his dog really is?
a chimera
She tells Four that "Bernie Kosar" came with him from Lorien. "Someone had to look out for you," she says. Isn't that what Henri was for?
a hellhound
a demon
a werewolf

What is Six's legacy, that she reveals toward the end of the football-field mayhem?
she is bulletproof
she is fireproof
Six, played by Teresa Palmer, appears to be more advanced in the use of her powers than Four is. She tells Four that her guardian is dead too, the implication being that she's been on her own longer.
she can influence thoughts
she is also a chimera
Who comes along when Six and Four leave Paradise?
Mark
Sarah
Sam
Sam -- and Bernie Kosar, of course!
Six is initially hostile to the idea of bringing Sam along. She tells him, "If you slow us down, I'll shoot you myself." Hmm -- we smell love in the air!
Who played Henri, Four's guardian?
Colin Farrell
Luke Wilson
Timothy Olyphant
Olyphant has played a number of villains -- and one notable maybe-villain who turns out to be the good guy in the twisty thriller, "A Perfect Getaway."
Jesse Spencer

Dianna Agron, who played Sarah, is better known for which TV series?
Glee
According to Wikipedia, Agron's character Quinn was "an antagonistic queen bee stock character." Funny -- that's a pretty good description of Six in "I Am Number Four."
House, M.D.
Modern Family
Heroes
What is the name of the "I Am Number Four" film sequel?
The Fall of Five
The Power of Six
The Revenge of Seven
there was no sequel
The other three choices are all titles from the series of books by Pittacus Lore. The intended sequel was "The Power of Six," but the weak box-office performance of "Four" scotched that idea.
