2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Forbidden Planet (1956)?
a.		Oddly enough, two ideas from the original novel Death Wish actually made it into this sequel; the vigilante rents a car to use as bait for street thugs, and a giggling Puerto Rican male appears. According to the book Bronsons Loose by Paul Talbot, a movie novelization of Death Wish 3 was announced, but was never published when it was pointed out that Brian Garfield retains the literary rights to the series, and he refused to allow a movie novelization.
b.		The film has no opening titles to blur the illusion of whether its a film, a documentary or something else altogether.
c.		For the Mercer House Shootout, there were over 450 squibs rigged throughout the house, all of which resulted in debris and glass falling on the actors.
d.		The special effects artists used split-screen traveling mattes to make images appear and disappear, such as the piece of fruit Morbius lobs at the "household disintegrator beam" and the tiger that Commander Adams vaporizes. See the "Goofs" section for problems caused by this process.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Forbidden Planet (1956)?
a.		The movies poster was as #5 of "The 25 Best Movie Posters Ever" by Premiere.
b.		The cast and crew totaled more than 10,000 people.
c.		The van the kids drive in the movie belonged to Ted Nicolaou, who worked as a sound recordist on the film.
d.		A direct translation of the lyrics for the song "Non, je ne regrette rien" as performed by Édith Piaf is: "I regret nothing/no, I have no regrets/I regret neither the good things that were done to me nor the bad things/They are all the same to me/...The past is payed, swept away, forgotten/I dont care of the past anymore/I set my memories on fire/My agonies, and my pleasures/I dont need them any more/Swept away in the agonies of love/Swept away forever, Im restarting with nothing..." Christopher Nolan has made a point of saying that he chose the song specifically for the movie, which is heavily concerned with the effect of memories on the psyche, and specifically the disastrous effect that not letting go of memories of love-gone-wrong can have on the subconscious--exactly what the song discusses. Also of note: in the original French, "I regret neither the good things Ive done nor the bad things" is "Ni le bien quon ma fait ni le mal," and since Cobbs wife is named Mal, that gives the line a double meaning.
