1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Backfire (1950)?
a.		While looking through the window of a bakery shop in Rio, Ginger Rogers asks Fred Astaire, "Oh, Freddie. How do you ask for little tarts in Portuguese?" Fred replies, "Dont heckle me. Try the Culbertson System." This topical joke was funny for Depression-era movie audiences, for whom the game of Bridge was a major home pastime. The Culbertson System was a bidding strategy developed by Bridge champion Ely Culbertson. In the early 1930s, Culbertson became a celebrity by winning several international tournaments with his aggressive bidding system.
b.		Under pressure from the studio, in an effort to cut two million dollars out of the budget, director Michael Schultz and screenwriter Louis Venosta sat up in a hotel room all night rewriting the script. When Venosta fell asleep on the hotel bed, Schultz decided to delete 40 pages of the script. When Venosta awoke that morning, the pair spent the day recreating that material.
c.		According to Michael Bay on the DVD commentary, he had a fight with Will Smith over the ending. Three days before they shot the ending, Will agreed that he would say "I love you" to Martin Lawrence. The day they were about to shoot the ending, Will changed his mind and didnt want to say it. Michael Bay fought with Will for over a couple of hours about why he should say it. By the end of the fight, in complete frustration, Michael told Will that he didnt care anymore because he only had about 15 minutes to shoot the ending by this time or he didnt have an ending (he wasnt given additional days at the time of filming). When the scene was shot, Will finally says "I love you" to Martin. That shot appears in the final cut.
d.		Completed in October 1948, but not released until 1950.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Backfire (1950)?
a.		One of the legends about the production of this film was that Edward D. Wood Jr. used everything from automobile hubcaps to pizza pans to pie tins and even paper plates as flying saucers. The truth is that he bought a number of childrens plastic model kits of flying saucers for use as props.
b.		Gambler Solly Blayne (Richard Rober) is shot from outside the living room window as he relaxes in his Los Angeles home, which is exactly the same way that Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel was killed in Beverly Hills a year earlier (in 1947).
c.		The entire movie was shot backwards for two key reasons: so that the characters relationships could grow over time (or appear in the film to fall apart towards the end), and because of the severe physical changes that the actors had gone through since graduating from high school. Of all the actors, Nicholas Zebrun went through the greatest physical change: growing a goatee and gaining nearly 30 pounds. Throughout the entire shoot, Zebrun lost and gained weight continually and had to grow three different goatees after continually shaving them off.
d.		Neal McDonough plays a character named Jon Forster. Although it is spelled differently, the characters name is pronounced the same as the name of the feared South African Prime Minister John Vorster.
