Constantine (2005) Trivia Questions & Answers
1) Who plays the role of John Constantine in Constantine (2005)?
Correct Answer: Keanu Reeves
Keanu Reeves brings a gritty, world-weary charm to John Constantine — a chain-smoking, trench coat-wearing exorcist who walks the line between worlds. Though different in look from the blonde Brit in the comics, Reeves makes the role his own with brooding intensity.
2) What supernatural ability does Constantine possess?
Correct Answer: He can see angels and demons
Since childhood, Constantine has been able to perceive the true forms of angels and demons disguised as humans. This “gift” is more of a curse, burdening him with constant visions of the supernatural and driving him to attempt suicide — a sin that complicates his path to redemption.
3) Which actress plays the twin sisters Angela and Isabel Dodson?
Correct Answer: Rachel Weisz
Rachel Weisz plays dual roles as Angela, an LAPD detective, and her twin sister Isabel, a psychiatric patient who dies under mysterious circumstances. Angela’s search for the truth draws her into Constantine’s world of hidden horrors.
4) What is Constantine trying to earn by fighting demons?
Correct Answer: Redemption and a place in Heaven
Constantine is trying to buy his way into Heaven by exorcising demons and stopping half-breeds from violating the balance between good and evil. His motivations aren’t heroic — they’re desperate, fueled by the fear of dying and going to Hell again after his near-death experience.
5) What object is used to reveal the truth to Angela?
Correct Answer: A cat and a bathtub
In one of the film’s most memorable and symbolic scenes, Constantine uses Angela’s connection to water and a cat (a bridge between realms in many myths) to help her cross into Hell. The ritual is visually striking and steeped in occult symbolism.
6) What is Gabriel’s true role in the story?
Correct Answer: An angel turned antagonist
Played by Tilda Swinton, Gabriel is revealed to be the film’s true antagonist. Though an angel, Gabriel believes that suffering will make humanity worthy of salvation — and so sides with Mammon’s plan to unleash Hell on Earth. It’s a chilling portrayal of twisted righteousness.
7) What weapon does Constantine use against demons?
Correct Answer: A holy shotgun
Constantine’s signature weapon is a custom-built shotgun assembled with holy relics and cruciform components. It’s as theatrical as it is powerful — the kind of stylized, mythic weapon you’d expect in a world where theology meets noir action.
8) Who is the half-demon son of Lucifer seeking to rise to power?
Correct Answer: Mammon
Mammon, the son of Lucifer, seeks to rise into the human world by possessing Angela and using the Spear of Destiny. His plan hinges on corrupting balance and breaking free of Hell — with help from Gabriel and a world already drowning in sin.
9) How does Constantine ultimately defeat Lucifer’s plan?
Correct Answer: He sacrifices himself
In the climactic moment, Constantine slits his wrists and offers his soul to Lucifer in exchange for Angela’s. The selfless act grants him redemption — but Lucifer, furious at being tricked, heals Constantine rather than allow him into Heaven. It’s a brilliant inversion of expected outcomes.
10) What vice does Constantine battle throughout the film?
Correct Answer: Chain smoking
Constantine is a heavy smoker, and his terminal lung cancer serves as a constant reminder of his mortality. The vice is both literal and symbolic — representing his self-destructive tendencies and deep cynicism about life, faith, and hope.
