About the movie: Jerry Lundegaard's inept crime falls apart due to his and his henchmen's bungling and the persistent police work of pregnant Marge Gunderson.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Fargo (1996)?
a.		Joel Coen: [Stanley Kubrick] Carl says hes in town for "just a little of the ol in-and-out," a reference to A Clockwork Orange. When Carl and Gaear are driving outside Minneapolis, the song These Boots are Made for Walkin can be heard on the radio, a reference to Full Metal Jacket, which features the same song.
b.		The Dudes gait in the opening shot to the "Gutterballs" sequence resembles the gait used by the characters in Robert Crumbs famous "Keep on Truckin" cartoon.
c.		This is the second movie in which James Earl Jones (Mufasa) and Madge Sinclair (Serabi) perform together as an African King and Queen. Jones and Sinclair were also King and Queen of a fictional African nation in Coming to America.
d.		The film was first broadcast on television in three one-hour installments over three weeks on Disneyland.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Fargo (1996)?
a.		Roberto Orci drew on his personal relationship with Alex Kurtzman as a basis for the relationship between Kirk and Spock: "Were from different worlds; I was born and lived in Mexico City until I was nine, and Alex was born in the US. Kirk and Spock are opposites from two worlds; thats us in a nutshell. Were drawn to each by what each of us lacks. This film is about two guys who are such opposites that they might end up strangling each other, but instead they bond and thrive together." Inspiration also came from the friendship of Beatles members John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
b.		In the scene where Margie asks about the Blue Ox truckers stop she says its off I-35. In reality I-35 is over 80 miles to the east of Brainerd.
c.		The "stylus" prop Captain Picard uses briefly on his PADD is a mini butane torch.
d.		A then-unknown Norma Shearer has an uncredited bit part in this film.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Fargo (1996)?
a.		The dress that Virginia Bruce throws on the floor and refuses to appear in is the same dress worn by Jeanette MacDonald in San Francisco, a few months earlier.
b.		In the scene where Hooper (Burt Reynolds) and crew are watching Hoopers "stunt reel" at Hoopers house, the stunt reel contains scenes of Burt Reynolds in Deliverance being flipped out of the canoe.
c.		Trevor Howard was asked to play the Freddie Jones part.
d.		All of the scenes that show Margie (Frances McDormand) with her husband Norm (John Carroll Lynch), they are either eating or lying in bed.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Fargo (1996)?
a.		In the final segment, "The Dead Girl", Krista tells Rosetta over the phone that they will run away together the next day, to some place with "trees and grass". In the first segment, "The Stranger", Arden tells her date the last thing the dead girl saw was "trees... and sky".
b.		Prior to this film, Norma Shearer had primarily played very "proper," ladylike roles. She was eager to change her image and do parts that were more sensuous, so she launched a campaign to get the part of Jerry. MGM producers were skeptical - none more so than Irving Thalberg, who was also Shearers husband. To convince him that she could handle a more "sexy" role, Shearer did a photo shoot with her posing provocatively in lingerie, and after seeing the pictures, Thalberg agreed to cast her. The decision paid off, as Shearer won Best Actress at the Academy Awards that year.
c.		Despite hints to the contrary at the time of the films release and in the closing credits, Prince does not play the Victim in the Field; this is J. Todd Anderson, who was actually a storyboard artist on the film. This was yet another Coen Brothers in-joke, since Prince was a famous native of Minneapolis, Minnesota. To further muddle matters, this moment in the film was memorialized in a "Snow-Globe" promotion included with a special edition version of the DVD, subtly hinting that the dead victim in the snow was a famous cameo.
d.		The last feature film of John Anderson.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Fargo (1996)?
a.		A Danish band called "Diefenbach" has taken their name from the character Riley Diefenbach in this movie.
b.		Though producers wanted Donnie Wahlberg to reprise his role, his schedule made him unavailable and his character was not included in the original script. However, after shooting began, his schedule freed up, and the script was re-written to include his character.
c.		Two years prior to taking the role of Dr. Bruce Banner, Edward Norton had the lead role in The Illusionist. Three years before Bill Bixby gave his performance of Banner in The Incredible Hulk, he had the lead in television series Pilot.
d.		This movie is notable for its catchy popular song "Love Will Turn You Around" sung and performed by its star Kenny Rogers. Rogers co-wrote the song which was a No. #1 country and adult contemporary song hit which went to No. #13 on the pops chart.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Fargo (1996)?
a.		The movie didnt originally end on a joke. After the scene with Grampa at the refrigerator, it was supposed to cut to the surviving Lost Boys regrouping in the sunken hotel. The last shot was of a mural on the wall, made in the early 1900s, with Max in it - looking exactly the same as he did today. All of this appeared in an early draft of the script, but ultimately was never filmed.
b.		During the interview process at the Blue Ox where Frances McDormand interviews Melissa Peterman "Hooker #2", she mentioned shes from Le Sueur (MN) but amplifies her answer to include the high school she attended in White Bear Lake (MN). White Bear Lake Area High School (complete with bear mascot - "Go Bears"), formerly White Bear Lake Mariner High, is approximately 75 miles northeast of Le Sueur but significantly closer to Chaska (MN); the birthplace of Larissa Kokernot "Hooker #1" and the probable rationale behind the erroneous association. Although, Hooker #2 never says that White Bear Lake is near Le Sueur.
c.		Michael Moorcock has said his original script was faithful to the book. But the last 20 minutes were changed by the producers to include the volcano and caveman attacks on the Tylers men and destruction of the submarine.
d.		According to an AP report from May, 1954, Piper Laurie was a replacement for original leading lady, Allison Hayes. No reason was given for the change, but Hayes left Universal-International about the same time.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Fargo (1996)?
a.		The reporter Christine Everhart works for Vanity Fair in the movie, but in the comics she works for the Daily Bugle.
b.		As Oliver Reed died with three weeks of principal photography remaining and as he was considered a key character, a clause in the insurance coverage on the movie would have allowed the film-makers to shoot all of Reeds scenes with another actor, with the insurers footing the cost (estimated at $25million). However, most of the actors and crew were exhausted from the punishing schedule and Ridley Scott did not want to lose Reed from the movie, so the script was rewritten and CGI used to give Reeds character a plausible resolution.
c.		Leading up to its release, it was reported by numerous trade magazines that Tom Cruise had demanded a sex scene involving his wife, Katie Holmes, be cut from the movie. At the 2006 Hay-On-Wye book festival, Jason Reitman dismissed this report as complete rubbish, explaining that these reports came from the films first festival screening where an overzealous projectionist had accidentally cut the scene when splicing the film together (an easy mistake to make, as the scene came at the end of a reel and followed a couple of seconds of black). At a Q&A that followed said screening, Reitman mentioned to the festival audience that there was a missing sex scene in the version they just saw, which was somehow seen by (equally overzealous) reporters as being a result of Tom Cruise and/or Scientologys involvement.
d.		Body count- 7 (the state trooper, the 2 passers-by, Wade Gustafson, the parking-lot attendant, Jean Lundegaard, and Carl Showalter)

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Fargo (1996)?
a.		The poem being recited before their first gig is "Evidently Chicken Town" by John Cooper Clarke.
b.		There is only one scene involving an animatronic lion. All the other shots were used using two real life lions named Bongo and Caeser. The same lions also appeared in the film George of the Jungle.
c.		Fuck" and its derivatives are said 75 times, mostly by Carl Showalter. He says 10 of these during the scene where Steve Buscemi shoots Harve Presnell.
d.		Oliver Hirschbiegel was offered the opportunity to direct but he declined.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Fargo (1996)?
a.		Although Frances McDormands character is the films central role, she does not appear on the screen until over 33 minutes (or 1/3) into the film.
b.		Tiny Ron and Max Grodénchik both became semi-regulars on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
c.		On Tuesday, May 31, 2005, in advance of a revelatory July 2005 "Vanity Fair" article written by his attorney and spokesman, 91-year-old W. Mark Felt acknowledged publicly for the first time that he was in fact the informant "Deep Throat," a fact corroborated by Bob Woodward and the Washington Post. At the time of the Watergate break-in, Mr. Felt was the Deputy Director, the second-in-command, of the FBI.
d.		Along with the English-language Danish film Stille dage i Clichy, the first film to contain the word "cunt" in its dialogue.

10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Fargo (1996)?
a.		Though many have suggested that the film contains elements of Christian allegory, director Steven Spielberg says any parallels are strictly coincidental. Furthermore, Spielberg adds that if he ever made a Christian allegory, his mother, a devout Jew would probably never forgive him.
b.		Filmed for the most part in the late 1970s this film was not released until several years later by which time some of the players, such as Hope Summers were already dead, and when additional footage, including some gratuitous nudity, was added, along with a 1985 copyright statement. By 1987 it had already found its way to video.
c.		There is an enormous amount of pig statuettes, and little pig adorns scattered around Jerrys house.
d.		The story was originally set in Southwestern Pennsylvania, the home state of writer Tony Urban. The setting was changed to Southern Illinois when producers decided to film there. Almost all references to Pennsylvania were changed - except one. Lennys comment about the neighbors vacationing in Delaware is one of the few references that remains unchanged.
