1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gattaca (1997)?
a.		Originally rated "R" by the MPAA for strong language, it was lowered to "PG" upon appeal.
b.		Director Jonathan Mostow was inspired to do the film after touring the World War II submarine USS Pompanito, in San Francisco.
c.		Vincents car is a 1963 Studebaker Avanti.
d.		During her sex scene with Rider Strong, Eli Roth wanted Cerina Vincent to be completely naked. But Vincent, who had previously played a student who never wore clothes in Not Another Teen Movie, was concerned that over-exposing herself would lead to her being typecast as a nude scene chick, and refused to bare her rear in Cabin Fever. The standoff between the director and actress became so intense that Vincent informed Roth that if he truly wanted a naked ass in the scene, he would have to get another actress to play the role of Marcy. Eventually the two hammered out a compromise - Vincent would show one inch of her ass on film, no more, no less. When the scene was set to be filmed, Roth bought along a ruler and literally measured one inch of Vincents butt crack. Bedsheets were then taped to Vincents ass at the designated level before the sex scene was shot. Ironically, Vincent later volunteered to bare her breasts in a scene that didnt call for them. During the bathroom scene where she discovers the rashes on her back, the script had her wearing a robe, which she lowered when she turned her back to the mirror. But Vincent thought this scenario was too unrealistic and volunteered to do it topless.

The take appears in the final film.
b.		The cars driven by the "Hoovers" are Rover P6s (sometimes called the Rover 2000) built in Britain from 1963 until 1976. They were extremely popular with the police force in Britain where the 3.5 litre V8-engined model was used as a high speed interceptor. Three of the four P6 Rovers in the movie were North American market 3500S versions of the 3.5 litre V8 with triple hood scoops. The fourth was a North American 2000TC with triple hood scoops added by Columbia Pictures. All four of the cars had triple hood scoops.
c.		When the governess first arrives at the house, its a bright, sunny day. In fact, Freddie Francis had had some of the trees painted lighter to exaggerate this.
d.		Hugh M. Hefner was originally going to be in the Tromadu segment. There was even a shot of him saying, "Only the Toxic Avenger knows for sure!" in the original teaser trailer. Unfortunately, a cease-and-desist order from Hefners lawyers forced Troma to remove any and all visual depictions of him from both their advertising and the final film. By all accounts, Hefner himself was initially fine with being in the film, but his lawyers convinced him he was unfairly coerced into being in the movie. Because of this, during the "Special Thanks To" sequence of the final credits, theres a special "No thanks to Hugh Hefners lawyers" credit.
