About the movie: Hollywood starlet foils an Axis plot to sabotage the L.A. infrastructure.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Foreign Agent (1942)?
a.		The characters of Robert Nelson and Elliott Jennings were based on real-life traitors Robert Noble and Ellis Jones, who worked together in an organization called "Friends of Progress" and staged a mock impeachment trial of President Franklin Roosevelt that was still going on when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Ultimately both men were arrested and convicted under a California state law calling for the registration of subversive organizations.
b.		Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were both delighted with the results.
c.		Translation of entire noodle-bar scene: Upon a seat becoming free at the counter, the Sushi Master (Bob Okazaki) shouts to Deckard (Harrison Ford), "Akimashita, akimashita! Irasshai, irasshai". In Japanese, "Akimashita" is the past tense of "aku", which means to become free; "Irasshai" means "Welcome". So the Sushi Master is pointing at the seat and saying "Its free, its free. Welcome, welcome". When Deckard approaches the bar, the Master says "Sa dozo", meaning "Come, please", followed by "Nan ni shimasho ka?", meaning, "Whatll it be?" When Deckard asks for four, the master replies, "Futatsu de jubun desu yo", meaning "Two is enough" (he repeats this twice). When Gaff (Edward James Olmos) and a uniformed policeman approach Deckard, at first the policeman says, "Hey, idi-wa", Korean for: "Hey, come here". Gaff then says "Monsieur, azonnal kövessen engem bitte". "Monsieur" is French for Sir; "azonnal" is Hungarian for "immediately"; "kövessen" is the Hungarian imperative "to follow"; "engem" means "me"; "bitte" is German for "please". So a translation is "Sir, follow me immediately please". When Deckard tells Gaff that hes got the wrong person, Gaff says "Lófaszt, nehogy már. Te vagy a Blade ... Blade Runner". In Hungarian, "Lófaszt" is a rude expression. "Lo" means "horse" and "fasz" means "prick" or "dick". (The "t" is added at the end because of the rules of Hungarian grammar.) This expression is basically the equivalent of saying "Bullshit" in English. "Nehogy már" means "no way" in English. "Te vagy" means "you are", and "a" means "the". As such, a close literal translation is "Bullshit, no way, youre the Blade...Blade Runner". Gaff then says, "Captain Bryant toka. Me ni omae yo". This is based on Japanese, but is not strictly Japanese in structure. "Captain Bryant toka" is probably a version of "Captain Bryanto ga", meaning, "Captain Bryant is the subject of this sentence". "Me ni mae" means "to meet someone"; "omae" is the informal way of saying "you", and "yo" is simply an exclamation. As such, the translation would be "Captain Bryant. He wants to see you!"
d.		The Spanish word for "forbidden", whose mispronunciation serves as a running joke through the movie is actually "prohibido".

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Foreign Agent (1942)?
a.		Was originally entitled "Beauty Shop", but was changed to avoid a title clash with Beauty Shop.
b.		This was the only film in which Natacha Rambova had a starring role.
c.		This film was selected to the National Film Registry, Library of Congress, in 1995.
d.		In the film, the recorded instructions to Axis espionage agents were concealed on a record called "To a Water Lily", billed as a "piano solo by Eddie Kay". The real Eddie (Edward) Kay was the musical director for the film.
