9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Footloose (1984)?
a.		Interestingly, the title of this movie promotes a common misconception that was proved untrue in 1986. Two almost identical tintypes of Billy the Kid were taken at the same time in 1880.

Since tintypes are reversed images, the picture from the first tintype led to the myth of the left-handed gun. After the second tintype came to light, the reversed image was reversed to show the Kid as he actually posed, with a Winchester carbine in the left hand and his holstered Colt single-action on his right hip. See Utley, Robert M., Billy the Kid, A Short and Violent Life, University of Nebraska Press, 1989. Statement following page 110 alongside the picture of Billy the Kid.

After watching Diner, the director had to convince the producers to go with Kevin Bacon.
c.		Randy "The Ram" Robinsons uneasy relationship with his daughter Stephanie parallels that of real-life wrestler Jake The Snake Roberts and his daughter, as chronicled on the documentary Beyond the Mat.
d.		The Donald Duck parodies of Old Master paintings were originally made for an unproduced cartoon in which Donald is a guard at a museum. The film was being developed by Frank Tashlin during his brief, uneventful stay at the studio. The paintings were later used for promotional print stories.
