1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Behemoth the Sea Monster (1959)?
a.		The opening shot zooming in on the town of Eastwick was originally to feature a seagull flying along with the camera. Visual Effects Supervisor Michael Owens had great difficulty finding a suitable bird. The plan was to acquire a taxidermy-type bird and put animatronics in it. First, it turned out to be illegal to own a dead seagull in California. When they were able to borrow one, another law stated it to be returned to its legal owner in the same condition it came in. After turning the bird into a rod-puppet of sorts, the team spent weeks perfecting the motion with up to ten puppeteers working simultaneously. In the end, none of their work ended up on screen, because the opening credits were added to the shot, and the seagull was found to be too distracting.
b.		Skip Reissig, who plays strip-club owner Skip, isnt an actor but is actually director Robert Rodriguez real-estate agent. Rodriguez thought hed be perfect for the part of the brusque, no-nonsense, tough-talking strip-club owner because, as Rodriguez says, "thats the way he really is".
c.		The British Board of Film Censors (now, the British Board of Film Classification) gave the film an A-certificate upon its original release. This resulted in a nationwide controversy as to whether the enchanted forest and the witch were too frightening for younger audiences. Nevertheless, most local authorities simply overrode the censors decision and gave the film a U-certificate.
