Famous trivia from Hollywood movie : Benny & Joon (1993) - Part (2)

This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Benny & Joon (1993).

About the movie: A mentally ill young woman finds her love in an eccentric man who models himself after Buster Keaton.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Benny & Joon (1993)?
a.		Lee Marvin was cast because Jason Robards had been seriously injured in a road accident.
b.		As originally filmed, Carlottas dog was named Mussolini. However, due to the changing world political climate of the 1930s, the dogs name was post-dubbed as "Tarzan", even though Marie Dresslers lips are clearly saying "Mussolini".
c.		Erich von Stroheim, hired as an assistant director and also to play the leader of a troop of soldiers, was so realistic in his sadistic treatment of his men that the actors rebelled and beat him up. Director Allan Dwan removed Von Stroheim from the cast for his own protection.
d.		The exterior of the cafe where Ruthie works (with the dancing rolls scene and others) is the Milk Bottle Cafe in Spokane, WA. Oddly enough, the interior was shot in an entirely different restaurant, Furgusens. The two restaurants are actually next door to each other. Even weirder, thats not the only building shaped like a milk bottle in Spokane.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Benny & Joon (1993)?
a.		In addition to the ironed grilled cheese sandwiches and the tennis racket mashed potatoes, there was a scene where Sam made crab in the dishwasher. It was cut for time.
b.		Vivien Leigh had already played Blanche in the first London production of the play, under the direction of her then-husband, Laurence Olivier. She later said that Oliviers direction of that production influenced her performance in the film more than did Elia Kazans direction of the film.
c.		David Koepp wrote the first draft of the script in six days.
d.		Two video games based very loosely on the movie were released on the Nintendo NES. While the first game really had no storyline, the second actually served as a "sequel" storyline, regarding Maverick going up against a new group of villains.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Benny & Joon (1993)?
a.		Frank Reichers film debut (both as a director and actor). Mr. Reicher had been on Broadway since 1899. While he did not have any connection with the 1912 theatrical production, he was previously employed by David Belasco in several productions there, having appeared in Belascos hit "Marie-Odle", which had ended just prior to this films production, which began in the summer of 1915.
b.		In order to make it seem as if he is an inexperienced writer, Johnny Depp used his left hand in the writing sequence. Being right handed himself, using his left hand gave off the squiggly impressions of a childs writing.
c.		The only Vacation movie to not feature the Lindsey Buckingham song "Holiday Road" throughout the entire film.
d.		Dorothys iconic red slippers now live at the Smithsonian Institution, and are so popular that the carpet in front of the attraction has had to be replaced numerous times due to wear and tear.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Benny & Joon (1993)?
a.		The train featured in the opening sequence is operated by the Northern Pend Oreille Lions Club. Train rides are available from July through October in Ione, Washington.
b.		The role of Luke was cast three times with Dominic Janes being the final actor to take on the role.
c.		Rumors persist among cast and crew that John Reynolds was on LSD during filming, which would help explain his bizarre behavior and incessant twitching in virtually all of his scenes.
d.		That gazebo is still in place in Grafton, MA as of December 2010.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Benny & Joon (1993)?
a.		The following performers were considered for roles: Harry Lockart, John Breslin, Suzanne Neve, Catherine Finn, Annette Kerr, Ernst Ulman, Mercy Haystead and Delena Kidd.
b.		In the restaurant scene between Sam and Joon, as they are discussing raisins, Sam says, "Its a shame about raisins." This is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the video for the Lemonheads hit, "Its a Shame about Ray," which was released the year before and in which Johnny Depp starred. (At the end of the video, Johnny can be seen carrying a curved cane almost identical to Sams.)
c.		There are shots of the exterior of the Playhouse Theatre in New York. This venue was the home of the original Broadway production of "The Miracle Worker", in which Patty Duke, who plays Neely OHara in "Dolls", starred as Helen Keller from 1959-1961.
d.		There exist enough clues in all three movies to reconstruct the travels of the DeLorean precisely (to within a few minutes at worst, except 2015 Biffs arrival in 1955 and Docs personal travels). There are a few interesting things to note: Not counting the time Doc traveled by himself, the DeLorean spent nearly 71 years (on its own time scale) from its first time travel to its destruction. By the time Marty made his ultimate return to 1985, he was approx. 14 days, 3 hours, and 27 minutes older than he should have been; Jennifer, on the other hand, is 7 hours and 26 minutes younger than she should have been. Another interesting conclusion is a point of contention. There are two theories, one of which drops the last item. On November 12, 1955, between the time Biff arrived (or 6 am, whichever came later) and 6:38 pm (the time he left), there were four DeLoreans present in Hill Valley (ordered from its point of view): (1) The instance when Marty was trapped in 1955 in the original movie, (2) the instance when Biff came to 1955 to give himself the almanac, (3) the instance when Marty and Doc came back to 1955 to take the almanac back, and (4) the instance when it was waiting in the abandoned mine. Those who do not agree with (4) argue that according to the "ripple effect" timeline as presented in the films, there wouldnt be a DeLorean hidden by Doc in the mine until later that evening, when the lightning blast would accidentally send Doc back to 1885, thereby altering the timeline. It is entirely true that we do not ever witness a moment in the films where all four instances coexist, but the text "ordered from its point of view" above should hint at a solution. Once the DeLorean is in 1885, consider what it would detect (if it were in a position to witness the comings and goings of its former selves): over 70 years of peace, then (1) arrives, then (2) and (3) arrive in some order; (2) then leaves at 6:38, (3) leaves around 10 pm, and (1) leaves at 10:04. (4) itself leaves soon after that. If we grant that all three of those instances (1-3) continue to exist in the "final" timeline, then there should be no problem accepting this theory. Still not convinced? Consider the 100-year gap near the end of BTTF III when Marty takes the DeLorean on its final journey. 70 years into it, for a few hours, there are 4 instances of the car.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Benny & Joon (1993)?
a.		The role of Mr. Hand was originally offered to Fred Gwynne who turned it down due to his objections over the tone of the sexual content in the film.
b.		Filming was supposed to begin on June 11, 1932. It was pushed back a week so Fredric March would have enough time to finish Smilin Through.
c.		Jack Oakies final movie appearance.
d.		In the original script, Joon was supposed to have burned the house down towards the end of the movie.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Benny & Joon (1993)?
a.		First choice for the leads were Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, followed by Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon. Eventually MGM had their dream casting in place: Johnny Depp, Woody Harrelson and Laura Dern. Harrelsons contract would have given him top billing. When Dern (a recent Oscar nominee) found out that she would be third billed, she quit the picture. Harrelson followed soon after, having landed the young male lead in "Indecent Proposal". MGM promptly slapped him with a $5 million lawsuit for breach of contract (which was ultimately settled out of court).
b.		The T-X was originally called the T-1G. At one point The T-X was going to be a male Terminator.
c.		Director Curtis Harrington shot certain scenes with the intention of using dissolves as a transition between scenes. He reluctantly had to remove the dissolves when producer Martin Ransohoff matter-of-factly stated that he didnt like them.
d.		The movie was officially nominated for Oscars under the title All That Money Can Buy. Other titles used for the film included, Mr. Scratch, Here is a Man, or Daniel and the Devil. The reason for the many different titles was so that the film would play in the American South, which was extremely socially conservative and ultra-religious. Films with the word devil in the title did not do well. Mainly, however, the name was changed so as not to be confused with The Devil and Miss Jones which was also released in 1941 and nominated for Oscars.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Benny & Joon (1993)?
a.		Tom Berenger lost 28 pounds during the pre-filming boot camp. Filming for the movie began the day after the camp ended; Oliver Stone didnt want the actors to lose their edge.
b.		The producers were initially looking for an unknown actor to play General Newton. But being a fan of the TV series, Burt Reynolds asked for a role and was then cast to appear as Newton.
c.		Director Milos Forman could not decide between Edward Norton and Jim Carrey for the role of Andy Kaufman, and left it up to the studio which went with the more bankable Carrey. Oddly enough, Norton used to be a guitarist in a Los Angeles gig of Courtney Loves called Hole in Two.
d.		During the filming of the scene where Benny rushes to Joons aid after she is put into an ambulance, a house party was happening less than a block away from the shooting in Spokanes Peaceful Valley area (it was a day scene actually filmed at night). After hours of re-takes, Jeremiah S. Chechik bribed the local revelers with a cornucopia of food from the crews food tent, which kept them pacified long enough to finish the scene (at around midnight).
