3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Fire Down Below (1997)?
a.		Historical records show that many of the character names and songs of Billy Roses "Jumbo" in the 1935 stage production were entirely different. Jimmy Durante appeared in the original New York stage production, but not as the owner of the circus. He is listed as "Claudius B. Bowers", a character name not in the film.
b.		Throughout the production, it was felt that there was something helping the production overcome mishaps. An example of this... the scene in the coffee shop where Dead Serious explains to The Reporter that "every 32 seconds, someone dies of a heart attack." The Reporter asks him where he gets that stuff and Dead Serious holds up a newspaper. Well, the scene was about to be shot but no one brought a newspaper. The cast and crew were in an alley outside the coffee shop deciding how to re-work the scene because there was no time to get a paper. Keep in mind, the original line from Dead Serious was actually, "every 32 seconds in LA somebody is shot by a gang banger." The wind starts to blow, and a local newspaper blows up against Will Kanes (Dead Serious) leg. He picks it up and in bold letters it reads, young boy shot by gang banger. While it was sad for the boy who was shot, it brought a chill to the group.
c.		The box office flop of this movie caused Steven Seagals multi-picture contract with Warner Bros. Pictures to end. However, he would work with them one last time for Exit Wounds and that movie proved to be a box office success.
