2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Blowup (1966)?

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Blowup (1966)?

This echoes a moment in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, when Scotty, in the 1980s, gives a plastics company boss the formula for "transparent aluminum", which hasnt been invented yet. Scotty justifies it because that man might have gone on to invent it anyway. In the novelization, he was in fact the inventor, and Scotty recognized the name.

a.		The first film Alfred Hitchcock made in Hollywood and the only one that won a Best Picture Oscar.
b.		Michael Kamen originally composed the score for this film. His score was rejected by director Richard Donner, who felt Kamens score was heavy, dreary and made the film feel slow. Donner felt the film needed a fast, slick sounding score, but he didnt want to let go of Kamen as the two were close friends and had worked together on many films. Donner even tried to give Kamen a chance to recompose the score, but Kamen had already begun work on Die Hard: With a Vengeance for director John McTiernan. Donner then went to composer Mark Mancina, who provided him with the fast, slick score he wanted for the film. Due to time constraint Mancina couldnt come up with a main theme for the film, as he only had five weeks to produce the score for final approval. The time constraint was caused by the films original June 95 release date, which was later pushed back to October 1995.

This was a dummy company which had no agreement or affiliation with the Production Code and, therefore, did not have to adhere to its standards. MGM did not have to cut the full frontal nudity or other sexually explicit scenes and maintained all rights to the film.
b.		While filming the scene where Mills chases John Doe in the rain, Brad Pitt fell and his arm went through a car windscreen, requiring surgery. This accident was worked into the script of the film. Ironically, the original script did call for Pitts Det. Mills character to be injured during this sequence--but to something other than his hand.
c.		The town of Fairvale where Lila is tailed by Dr. Raymond was the same town as in Gremlins and Back to the Future. It is located on the Universal Studios (California) back lot.
