does anyone else have any useless did you know movie/tv trivia?

floyd

Yeah, daredevil was s***e...

but seriously.. Did you know that in `Army of Darkness` Bruce Campbell (or a part of him) is in EVERY shot of the movie?

Ghostbusters was originally going to be set in space

In AOTC, Jango Fett bangs his head on the door of his ship as he leaves kamino, as a tribute to the famous scene in ANH where a stormtrooper accidentallty bangs his head on a door.

In Monty python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, the 2 rooms in one castle was used for at least 5 different scenes, lighting and framing was employed to make the rooms look like different rooms, and different castles.

In the Life Of Brian, Spike Milligan turned up one day on set and performed his `speech` with no rehearsal and no script. When he is seen walking off screen, he didn`t stop walking. He was picked up by the crew on the road back to the hotel some 4 hours later.

...all true you know

Mister Ed wasn`t a horse but a zebra.

Star Trek has NEVER been anything more than complete S***E. Thats official.

Gone With The Wind is still the largest grossing film ever when adjusted inflation is brought in. The second is Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope.

Marlon Brando is fat.

Gone With The Wind The first scence ( I think they were on a porch) was the last one filmed....

I thought Columbo`s first name was Lootenant ;-))

"but seriously.. Did you know that in `Army of Darkness` Bruce Campbell (or a part of him) is in EVERY shot of the movie?"

Where did you hear this Stanz?

I am a huge fan of the Evil Dead Trilogy and am sure that there are several shots during the end battle (and some other scenes) where neither Ash or Evil Ash or any part of either of them are in shot.

I could be wrong though!
Think I might have to get my AOD DVD out now!

er... the answer to my `Quiz Time` question from a very very very long time ago...is that in the `death` scenes in `Run,Lola, Run` and the soliloquy in `The Thin Red Line`, the soundtrack is `The Unanswered Question` by Charles Ives...but only the string background...the `question` in never actually asked in either film (trumpet solo for anyone who gives a s***e)....probably all very deep and meaningful. :-)

And damn good music it is too Alan!

Haven`t seen `Run Lola Run`, but `The Thin Red Line` is a personal favourite.

for me too straight......but I thoroughly recommend RLR.....a completely different experience, but no less rewarding....turn the volume up for it! :-)
