Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: 2010 (1984)?
a.
Said to take place "10 years from now". The official NOES websites timeline opted for 1999 in place of 2001, despite the release date of the film in 1991, taking ten years from now to refer to the conclusion of
A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child
. This actually impacts the placement of
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday
, since Freddy Kruegers claw emerged from the portal to Hell at the end of that film to seize Jasons hockey mask. This indicates that the defeat of Freddy in his film preceded the events of
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday
.

Omri Katz
when DiCaprio turned it down to appear in

Victor Milson states that a U.S. Navy vessel called "U.S.S. Cunningham" participates in a deadly naval engagement with a Russian vessel. Given the film was made less than 10 years following the end of the Vietnam War, it could be held, that a futuristic Navy ship named "Cunningham" may have been named after U.S. Navy Commander Randy "Duke" Cunningham, whom, at the time, was a notable, decorated Vietnam War hero. By 2010, however, Cunningham will be best remembered by the public as a disgraced United States Congressman.

In
2001: A Space Odyssey
, HAL tells Dave that his teacher was Mr. Langley. In this film, we are told that Dr. Chandra (

(At 21:33) When Dr. Heywood Floyd stands in the doorway of his sleeping sons room, on the wall to the left of his bed is a poster of an Olympic runner with the text "Beijing 08" on the bottom. Considering the film was made in 1984, and the Olympic Committee did not chose Beijing for the Olympics until July 2001 is a fun example of life imitating art and background detail that came true.

The plane which portrayed the Belle in the movie is actually a converted B-17G, while the real Belle is an F Model. The G Model has a chin turret, which was removed for the film and for the subsequent appearances made at airshows around the United States. The plane is owned by David Tallichet, who has repainted the plane to match the real Memphis Belle (the Warner Bros. paint scheme is not accurate, thus avoiding any legal concerns over duplicating the earlier scheme). Forgotten in the post-war rush to disarm, the real "Belle" was rescued off a salvage yard at Altus, Oklahoma in 1946 by an alert Memphis citizen who convinced the city fathers to reclaim the bomber before it was scrapped. The "Belle" was displayed at several locations in Memphis from 1948 to 2003, and was then transported to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in October 2005 for restoration and eventual display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
