1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Beat Street (1984)?
a.		According to Fast Break (who appeared in the Treacherous Three sequence), there was a classroom up-rocking battle scene that involved the New York City Breakers and the Rock Steady Crew, but it was cut. There was also more of the climatic battle between these two crews at the Roxy nightclub.
b.		Several of the supporting characters were named after noted horror-film directors (Jacques Tourneur, Dario Argento, Edgar G. Ulmer, Roy Ward Baker, etc).
c.		Elizabeth Taylor had met Richard Burton several years prior to their working together on the film; she had found him to be brutish and boorish. However, when Burton showed up for work on Cleopatra on his first day, it was with a hangover so severe that he had the shakes. Taylor had to help him around and administer to such basic needs as helping him drink a cup of coffee. This time, she found him to be very endearing.
d.		Actress Deborah Winters was considered for the lead role.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Beat Street (1984)?
a.		Kristy Swansons skirt caught fire between scenes while she was resting against a propane heater. As there was only one skirt, the wardrobe department had to fix the damage.
b.		About 80% of the footage in the original theatrical trailer is not included in the final cut. Examples include Ramón getting his bag ripped off while walking with Kenny and Charlie, several battle outtakes including the classroom up-rocking scene, Ramón on a set of drums, and one dancer flipping off against a wall at the Burning Spear nightclub. Several other pieces of footage were included as well but were in freeze frame in the opening credits of the film. The trailer also includes an alternate version of title song performed by Kool Moe Dee, (who appears in the film in the "Christmas Rappin" sequence with the rest of the Treacherous Three), which also did not appear in the movie nor on the original soundtrack albums.
c.		The airplane that attacked Frankensteins car was Burt Rutans Vari Viggin.
d.		The chess position and moves that we see are from a game played in 1910 in Hamburg between two undistinguished players named Roesch and Schlage. The computer claims that the final position is a checkmate in two moves. Actually, white is not obliged to play the move that HAL suggests (Bxf3), so we have a checkmate in three moves. Another result of Stanley Kubricks fondness for chess is the character Smyslov, named after a Russian champion.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Beat Street (1984)?

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Beat Street (1984)?
a.		Veteran cinematographer Burnett Guffey - an Oscar-winner From Here to Eternity - had frequent arguments with Arthur Penn over his radical shooting style. Ironically Guffey went on to win another Oscar for his work on Bonnie and Clyde.
b.		Tom Mankiewicz was hired to oversee the script originally written by Mario Puzo for the original Superman, which of course was to be made simultaneously with its sequel. Thus, the script had elements of both films in it. Mankiewicz eliminated most of the camp elements that Puzo had inserted in the original draft and went ahead with the filmmakers decision to keep the religious allusions of the Superman story in the script. Specifically, there are elements of the Second Coming of Christ in the Superman saga ever since it first appeared in comic book form in the 1930s. Among the similarities to the Second Coming are: 1) Jor-El (God) casts out Zod (Satan) from Krypton (Heaven); 2) Jor-Els speech as he and Lara say goodbye to Kal-El "...The son becomes the father and the father the son...."; 3) The ship that brings Kal-El to Earth is in the form of a star (the star of Bethlehem); 4) Kal-El comes to a couple unable to have children "...How we prayed and prayed the good Lord see fit to give us a child...."; 5) Just as there is not much known about Jesus during his middle years, Clark Kent travels into the wilderness to find out who he really was and what he had to do; 6) "...You must live as one of them but always hold in your heart the pride of your special heritage. They can be a great people Kal-El, they wish to be, they only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you, my only son." There would have been more religious references in the sequel if director Richard Donner would have been allowed to play out the story of Supermans fall and resurrection and his battle with evil in Superman II (1980). Unfortunately, he was fired and replaced by Richard Lester, who did not respect the Superman character or the mythology.
c.		This is the first (and to date only) time director Chris Weitz handles a movie about vampires. However his grandmother had a lead role in the Spanish vampire film Drácula and his brother Paul Weitz directed Cirque du Freak: The Vampires Assistant featuring vampires.
d.		It was the producers idea for the main cast to wear Kangol hats and Puma sneakers all throughout production of the film even though many of the dancers felt that it wasnt authentic.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Beat Street (1984)?
a.		It has been noted that this film is an homage to _8 1/2 (1963)_. Counting Whats Up, Tiger Lily? as only half a film (because Allen only supplied a new soundtrack to an otherwise completed film), Woody Allen had completed 8 1/2 films before this one.
b.		William Hurt was Cronenbergs first choice to play the twins. He regretted turning it down but had a scheduling conflict.
c.		Sean Astin shot his short film The Long and Short of It during a re-shoot in New Zealand. LucasFilm was demonstrating its new High Definition Digital Video cameras (used on Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones) for Peter Jackson, and Astin asked the LucasFilm crew if they could stay an extra day so he could use the camera to shoot his short film. They agreed, and Astin shot the film in six hours.
d.		Kadeem Hardison is credited as High School Student in the film. His shots were cut completely along with the classroom up-rocking battle scene.
