2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem (2007)?
a.		When filming the meat truck scene with Scrimshaw and Jack, the director realized only that day that Scrimshaw had no lines prepared; the script only contained Tuck Pendletons voiceover.

In the DVD commentary, Joe Dante says the speech was wonderfully amusing, but the piece of paper was lost before the lines were copied elsewhere.

According to the DVD commentary by Wilder biographer Ed Sikov, this story was most likely invented/exaggerated by Billy Wilder.

She later changed her mind about Paul after saving (some of) the kids from piranha. Including his daughter.
