Question: Why was the password "kronos" written in the underwater cave? And how did Mr Incredible know that was the password?
Question: Why was old Biff seemingly in agony when he returned to 2015 after stealing the almanac? Did this have to do with this not being his future anymore?
New this month Answer: There is a cut scene of old Biff disappearing after returning the DeLorean.
Chosen answer: I saw a behind-the-scenes special about this, and it said the intention was that after giving the book to himself (thereby changing his future) something then happened to Biff after 1985 but before 2015- possibly being killed by Lorraine while they were married. This is why, after changing his past, Biff shouldn't exist in 2015. This incident was never scripted or shot, but that was the idea. Something similar happened to Marty in the first movie. As he faded from existence, he became sick and weak.
KristaQuestion: Can somebody please tell me all of the celebrity cameos throughout the film and where?
Chosen answer: David Hasselhoff plays the coach of the German dodgeball team. William Shatner plays the host of the game. Chuck Norris plays the third judge. Lance Armstrong plays himself, and he was actually afflicted by cancer in the way he describes. I believe he says in the film he won the Tour de France 5 times since - that's now increased to six. A real dodgeball player, Tobias 'Sniper' McKinney played for the German Blitzkreig team.
Gavin JacksonQuestion: Where is the bone that is suppose to contain the easter egg, it is not in the deleted scenes menu.
Chosen answer: When you are at the Main Menu, go left of the "Play Movie" selection.
Question: When the two troopers are showing their rifle to the kids does one of them say it's made by Beretta (makers of the M92F and the M93R pistols)?
Chosen answer: No, the subtitles show the soldier saying "It's a fully automatic Morita."
Ryan AndersenQuestion: What is the song that Christian is singing during the Roxanne dance scene? I recognise the words, but I think it is to a different tune.
Answer: Christian is not singing Roxanne, just the Argentinian. I believe Christian's words are original and not from a previous song.
Chosen answer: The words are from "Roxanne" by The Police, and the tune is "Le Tango du Moulin Rouge".
Question: I know it's an answer to a previous question, but I've just been so confused about the answer I had to ask again: Can Dracula's Werewolf Antidote work after 12 times of midnight on their first full moon? If it could, why did Van Helsing order Carl to kill him? If it couldn't work, why would Dracula even have it? Can someone please answer this question who is 100% sure they have the right answer?
Chosen answer: Dracula's antidote would turn the werewolf into a normal human but only if they recieved the antidote before the 12th chime of midnight. If they were too late he would not be able to turn back into a normal human. After seeing the picture in the house they were staying at Carl discovered that only a werewolf could kill Dracula, so when Van Helsing turned into a werewolf he told Carl to kill him if they were too late so that he would not remain a werewolf and do to people what he had spent his life fighting against. But Dracula also knew that was the only way for him to be killed, so he kept an antidote so if a werewolf turned against him he would be able to cure them and save himself.
Question: What was the total worldwide gross of Predator 1, and then Predator 2? Sorry but imdb doesn't have worldwide takings for either.
Chosen answer: Worldwide Gross for Predator 1 is $190,534,137, and Worldwide Gross for Predator 2 is $57,169,413.
The-ImmortalQuestion: In one scene, Kazan is lead into a corner of a room to relieve his bladder. After three days, it would seem that all of them would have had to indulge in similar relief. How come no one was electrocuted through the urine stream, or there was no apparent damage done to the electrical systems of at least that room?
Chosen answer: The designers would anticipate that people might be in there for a long period of time - they presumably insulated the systems in the cubes against that particular possibility.

Question: What does the 'Not Alone' that was cut into Mirandas arm mean?
Chosen answer: At first, we think it means that Rachel was 'not alone' in being the victim, but we learn later that it means that there was more than one killer.
Cheryl GibsonQuestion: Who sang the opening theme song for Married with Children?
Chosen answer: According to IMDb and some Married with Children fan sites it's Frank Sinatra who sings the theme song.
Andreas[DK]Question: Can anyone tell me what Katherine is drinking in the morning - the greenish blue drink - about which she says "Don't ask what it is"? I know its never answered in the movie, but can anyone make an educated guess?
Chosen answer: It's a health drink that is primarily made of seaweed and sea-kelp. It's actually not that bad tasting.
Ral0618It's "Green Machine" by naked or "original super food" by Odwalla.
Question: Not from the movie, but there were two books actually printed that were mentioned in the harry potter books, called 'Quidditch Through the Ages', with the claimed author of Kennilworthy Whisp, and 'Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them' by Newt Scamander. My question is do these people exist or did J.K Rowling write these books as well, but since they were supposed to be Harry's schoolbooks did she use different names? Also, what exactly does IMBd stand for?
Chosen answer: Yes, J.K. Rowling wrote both of those books; she used the pseudonyms to make the books more realistic (as opposed to just being a HP spinoff). IMDb stands for Internet Movie Database, probably the premiere site online for movie information (http://www.imdb.com).
XoferQuestion: I have thought what B.B. stood for in the second movie. I have come to the conclusion that it is possibly for Bill and Beatrix. This would make B.B., but has someone disproved or stated whether its true or not?
Chosen answer: You are correct, B.B. does stand for Beatrix and Bill. You may take a bow.
Tobin OReillyQuestion: When Rudy says 'This ain't right, why is all of his stuff still here?', what does he exactly mean by that?
Chosen answer: I believe that Rudy was wondering why the posessions of a serial killer were still in the abandoned house that he grew up in. I believe he was questioning the authenticity of the items and suspected that they had been placed there for him and the others to find to make the show more interesting for the viewers. You'd think that his possesions would be examined by Dr. Loomis and maybe kept in an evidence locker or something. They did seem to give some insight into his mental problems. It's possible that A) They were fake and were placed there by Freddy, B) They were real and were placed there by Freddy, C) They were real and Michael "liberated" them from wherever they were being kept, or D) They were really just left there by the Myers family.
Charles FraserQuestion: Why is it that Chick isn't in the wedding scenes at the end?
Chosen answer: Watch the credits, he's there, in the first 30 seconds of the credits.
XIIINew this month Answer: Chick was the best man at the wedding.
Question: Is the mother or daughter who sing "All I Want for Christmas" at the Christmas pageant an actual singer? The way the teacher introduced the mother who helped put the number together, he made it sound as though she was a well-known musician, so I wondered if that was true.
Chosen answer: Ruby Turner, playing Mrs Anderson is an accomplished singer. She started with Culture Club in the mid-80s and then went solo. Olivia Olson, playing Joanna, is also a singer. She won on Star Search and as far as I know has only released two songs. As for whether the Mom is supposed to be a real singer in the film, it's not made clear.
ChiChiQuestion: I noticed on Andy's final moments video on the DVD, the month on the camera goes from May(When he explains the Hollywood Squares game.) To June when he finally turns to a zombie. Was the movie supposed to take place in a month or is that just a simple mistake?
Chosen answer: Yes, part of the point of Andy's video is to give the viewer the timespan of the film.
Grumpy ScotQuestion: How old is Ned Flanders?
Chosen answer: According to the season 9 episode Viva Ned Flanders, he is 60.

Chosen answer: It was written there because Gazerbeam had used his powers to carve it into the wall before he died; that's why Mr. Incredible had to align his point of view with the dead man's. When he got to the password screen, he just assumed - correctly, as it turns out - that Gazerbeam would have found it out, and used his last dying moments to leave it behind for someone else to use.
