1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Constantine (2005)?

c.		Ardeth Bay (Oded Fehr) is the only person in the film who refers to Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) as "the Creature"; this is explained in the novelization of the film, which states that Ardeth fears, as do all Medjai, even referring to Imhotep by name while the mummy is still in his undead form, calling him "He That Shall Not Be Named". Ardeth Bay in the novel overcomes this unease and reluctantly refers to Imhotep by name after the mummys regeneration.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Constantine (2005)?

b.		Daphne Du Mauriers story "The Birds" was originally purchased for use on Alfred Hitchcocks television series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
c.		The talking animals in this film can communicate not only with other animal species but also with human children who bother to begin conversation with them. The 1977 "Disneys Wonderful World of Reading" picture book based on the film revealed that the reason Rufus had not told of Pennys fate to another child at Morningside Orphanage was because no child or adult had bothered to ask him. It is unknown whether Rufus could have spoken to a human child without being talked to first, or if he could talk to grown-ups at all.
d.		Is the combination of three short films: Complex (2006), Clarity (2007) and Clockturn (2007). The differences lay in an additional storyline involving Webbs (Brandon Neal) girlfriend Robin (Ashley Kane), who merely had a voice in Clockturn. Also, the ending is extended to show the true wrap up to the series.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Constantine (2005)?
a.		In the scene where Viktor is avoiding the security camera near the exit, the camera is of the Espree line manufactured by Pelco in Clovis, CA. The motor noises had to be added to the film, because the Espree PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) features operate virtually silently.
b.		In the English version of the film, Gloria speaks of "Macys" as the department store where Joan gets sick. The German edition of this movie says "Bloomingdales" instead of "Macys". Gloria says "Bloomingdales" on the English audio of the DVD.
c.		Originally, Tarsem Singh was attached to direct with Nicolas Cage to star. However, the director said that "with Cage, I cannot make the film I had wanted to". Soon after Singh left the picture, Cage did as well.
d.		In 1939, the Hollywood Production Code dictated what could and could not be shown or said on screen, and Rhett Butlers memorable last line presented a serious problem. A few of the suggested alternatives were "Frankly my dear... I just dont care," "... it makes my gorge rise," "... my indifference is boundless," "... I dont give a hoot," and "... nothing could interest me less." Although legend persists that the Hays Office fined Selznick $5,000 for using the word "damn", in fact the Motion Picture Association board passed an amendment to the Production Code on November 1, 1939, to insure that Selznick would be in compliance with the code. Henceforth, the words "hell" and "damn" would be banned except when their use "shall be essential and required for portrayal, in proper historical context, of any scene or dialogue based upon historical fact or folklore ... or a quotation from a literary work, provided that no such use shall be permitted which is intrinsically objectionable or offends good taste." With that amendment, the Production Code Administration had no further objection to Rhetts closing line, "Frankly, my dear, I dont give a damn."

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Constantine (2005)?
a.		When the movie was digitally-projected (Texas Instruments DLP), it became the first ever to include a "genuine" 8-channel Sony SDDS soundtrack. "Prototype" 8-channel soundtracks had been in use by SDDS since 1993, but the one for this movie is considered the first perfected standard of the format.
b.		A large number of actors listed in studio records did not appear in the movie: Charles Williams (Max Morton), Eddie Conrad (Hal Gibbs), Mary Forbes (Lady Hilda), Carl Alfalfa Switzer (Small Boy), Darla Hood (Sister) and Armand Kaliz (Count). The movie was heavily edited; Joan Crawford recorded three songs, all of which were cut.
c.		During a 2008 appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, Dustin Hoffman revealed that, while dressed as Dorothy Michaels, he played a trick on legendary actor José Ferrer. While in an elevator, Hoffman introduced himself as Dorothy, a big fan and member of the Dallas Theater. Ferrer bought it and seemed flattered. Hoffman then asked if he could "suck Ferrers ck". After a long pause, Ferrer raised his right-hand and said, "Not right now, thank you." After Hoffman exited the elevator, Ferrer looked at assistant director David McGiffert** and asked, "Who was that scumbag of a woman?" A year later, Hoffman ran into Ferrer again at a benefit and teased him for being fooled.
d.		In the comic book "Hellblazer" on which the movie is based, the character of John Constantine is from Liverpool, and is drawn to look like the singer Sting. In the movie, the character is from Los Angeles. It is widely believed that the change was made specifically for Keanu Reeves. The truth is the original script retained his nationality but got no response from producers. So the writer changed him to an American and the script quickly gained attention.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Constantine (2005)?
a.		Lillian Gish had originally been approached to take on the part of Scarletts mother.

d.		The pistol Eddie Murphy uses in the movie is a Browning P35 (known in the USA as the Browning Hi-Power, manufactured by Fabrique Nationale in Herstal, Belgium) 9mm pistol, the same pistol the SAS (British SpecOps) use. It takes a 13 round, double stacked magazine - known as the Grande Puissance (or High Yield) in French. The P35 was one of John Moses Brownings final pistol designs - which date back to 1923 when he was designing a pistol to meet the French militarys requirements based on one of his successful handgun designs - the M1911 which was adopted by the U.S. armed forces between 1911 - 1985. Sadly, Browning died in November 1926 when the pistol was in its final development stages - the P35s design was finalized by FN engineer Dieudonne Saive, who later incorporated the M1911s field-stripping procedure.
