1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Glory (1989)?
a.		While Jane Alexander has a brief cameo, her part was probably meant to be larger, as evidenced by early poster and trailer credits highlighting her name.

c.		Bruno Kirby offered his fat suit from The Godfather: Part II to Christopher Lloyd in order to play Uncle Fester.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Glory (1989)?
a.		In the closing shot, when the family is climbing over the hills to safety, it is not really Kym Karath as Gretl on the shoulders of Captain von Trapp. In the DVD version, it is revealed that while in Austria, Kym Karath gained a lot of weight. This was one of the last shots filmed and so she was evidently a bit too heavy to be carried on Christopher Plummers back. Plummer requested a stunt double and that is whos seen being carried on his back.
b.		John Huston stated that working with his father on this picture and his dads subsequent Oscar win were among the favorite moments of his life.
c.		Many scenes/subplots were cut out from both the theatrical version and the DVD. These include Shaw (Matthew Broderick) and Cabot Forbes (Cary Elwes) attending school together, fencing one another, etc. Nearly all of the scenes of Jane Alexander were cut.
d.		Each of the members of the band Mystery (Hawk, Trip, Jam, and Lex) mirror the members of the band KISS and even get together with girls appropriate to their counterparts: Hawk is like Paul Stanley, and gets the supermodel; Jam is like Peter Criss, and gets Beth (named after his solo song); Trip is like Ace Frehley, and gets the spacey girl; and Lex is like Gene Simmons, and gets Christine (named after one of his trademark songs).

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Glory (1989)?
a.		Alexs treatment of the pet rabbit has given rise to the commonly used expression "bunny boiler" in the UK - used to describe an obsessive woman with the potential to stalk casual acquaintances or one-night stands.
b.		Kevin Spacey (I) does his own singing.
c.		Very early in the movie there is a scene of Union soldiers playing baseball. While there remains considerable dispute about exactly when, where and how the sport was invented, there is no question that the Civil War itself had a significant role in the rapid growth of the sport, as it became a popular pastime for soldiers on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line who spread it around the country. Incidentally, Union general Abner Doubleday once was credited with inventing baseball but that theory has long been discredited.
d.		When The Anaheim Mighty Ducks were added as an expansion team to the National Hockey League they were named after the movie because the team was owned by Disney.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Glory (1989)?
a.		The scenes for the party were filmed in Jim Williams house in Savannah. This house and its owner were the basis for the film Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Glory (1989)?
a.		John Amos got his big break thanks to Bea Arthur: had it not been for her CBS series "Maude", "Good Times" would have never seen the light of day. (Amos also has a connection to another cast member, Robert Costanzo: they both appeared in Die Hard 2.)
b.		Joseph II is an odd choice to teach Louis XVI about reproduction. All of Josephs known children died in childhood, and he apparently never reproduced for the last 27 years of his life. He could, however, afford to rest on the laurels of his brother and heir-presumptive Leopold II, who had many children including Franz II (powerful rival and ally of Napoléon Bonaparte).
c.		Boston morning radio legend Lance Norris appears as a man in the crowd as the troops are marching through Boston.
d.		A real-life tragedy nearly happened during the filming of the Hindenburgs fiery death. A full-scale section of the Hindenburgs nose was built for the film, and was set to be destroyed by fire for the films final destruction sequence. A half-dozen stunt artists wearing fire-retardant gear were placed in the nose replica as it was set afire; however, the fire quickly got out of control, causing several stunt artists to get lost in the smoke, damaging several cameras filming the action, and nearly destroying the sound stage. Some of the footage from this sequence was used in the final cut of the film, but the full sequence, as it had been planned, was not included.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Glory (1989)?
a.		The television commentator who calls the two Americas Cup matches and the International 14 Championships is Peter Montgomery, famous in the yachting world as the Voice of the Americas Cup.

a.		Many of the first shots of the movie were taken from the 125th anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Gettysburg in 1988, in which up to 15,000 participants took part. The scenes filmed at the Gettysburg Reenactment were fused into the depicted Battle of Antietam scene which was filmed in Mcdonough, Georgia. Viewers can distinguish the two separately filmed locations either by the massive amounts of reenactment troops that were at the Gettysburg event; or by the browner dry summer background of Pennsylvania in 1988, and the greener spring background of Georgia in 1989.
