About the movie: Two employees of a secluded hotel investigate a murder on the premises in which the goofy bellboy is the prime suspect.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff (1949)?
a.		This film was presold to Europe before the script was even written.
b.		The filming took place in and around an 1890s mansion in Floridas Eden State Park. This park is located near the Gulf of Mexicos coastline, about halfway between Fort Walton Beach and Panama City.
c.		The film is meant to be an homage to the double features that played in grindhouses. However, during the initial weeks of release, exhibitors were reporting that many audience members were leaving the cinema after the first feature ("Planet Terror" by Robert Rodriguez), apparently not realizing, or forgetting, that a second feature was going to be shown. One reason cited was that many of audience members were too young to remember when theaters showed double features. The distributor planned some changes in the campaign while some exhibitors solved the problem by posting employees by the auditorium doors to remind departing patrons that the program contains a second feature.
d.		The film was originally banned in Denmark due to the scene where corpses play cards.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff (1949)?
a.		Lou Ferrigno voices the Hulk in this film. He has played the Hulk in almost every live-action version since 1978: he played the Hulk in The Incredible Hulk and its forthcoming TV specials, and he voiced the Hulk in the prequel The Incredible Hulk (he was seen in Hulk but it was a cameo role as a security guard).
b.		The role eventually played by Boris Karloff was originally a female character named Madame Switzer in the final shooting script which was then titled, Abbott and Costello Meet the Killers. Five days before shooting, Karloff was hired and the character was changed to a swami.
c.		The tattoo that Connor has on his left hand/index finger says, "VERITAS," which is Latin for "Truth." Murphy also has a tattoo in the same place but on his right hand, that says, "AEQUITAS," which is Latin for "Justice/Equality."
d.		During one scene in the film, we see a building with a painted sign for the "SAM Company". "SAM" is the name of the production company that made the film and it stood for Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff (1949)?
a.		The original script Easy Does It, was originally intended as a vehicle for Bob Hope. After the huge success of Bud Abbott Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein, Universal-International wanted another "horror" comedy with Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, so the script was rewritten for them. Oddly enough, the role played by Boris Karloff was originally written for a woman.
b.		The final movie of the infamous movie production duo Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus.
c.		A subtle reference to William Shatner: once, while recording lines for Star Trek The Animated Series, Shatner pronounced "sabotage" strangely and was asked twice to repeat the line. He finally blurted, "Dont tell me how to act - it sickens me!" In Mystery Men, this line is repeated by Ben Stiller. Later, Janeane Garofalo says to Stiller, "You say sabotage, I say saboTAGE," another Shatner quote from the Star Trek recording session.
d.		Final film of Van Heflin.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff (1949)?
a.		During the scene where Perry Smith (Robert Blake) is summing up his life, the rain on the window is reflected on Blakes face so that it looks like hes shedding tears, and the effect was lauded by many reviewers. That effect wasnt planned - the set was hot that day and a fan was being used near the simulated rain; it accidentally blew the water against the window, resulting in the shadows of the falling "rain" passing over Blakes face.
b.		The film was originally meant to be an adaptation of Elmore Leonards novel "Bandits", to which Bruce Willis owns the film rights, but the producers felt it was too weak and brought in writer Harley Peyton to write a new script from scratch.
c.		Russell Hicks (Mr. Bradley) and Phil Baker (Man in Sequence with Beetle and Bottle) are in studio records/casting call lists as cast members for their roles, but they did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie.
d.		After filming was completed, Lou Costello was bedridden for several months due to a relapse of rheumatic fever, which he originally battled in 1943. As a result, the duo did not make another film together until Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion, a year later.
