1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)?

b.		Studio publicity claimed actor Kamatari Fujiwara created the large kinetic sculpture, called "Yes" in the film, but the work was actually done by Robert Fields, a industrial design student at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago. The sculpture was set up on the ice rink of the Marina Towers apartment complex.
c.		Included among the 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, edited by Steven Jay Schneider.
d.		The brothers house was shot in a gritty neighborhood of Hamilton, Ontario, an industrial city near Toronto. It nearly burnt down shortly after shooting finished.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)?
a.		When Maindrian is first telling Atlee about the new contract, a message on the blackboard behind them is visible saying, "Sgt. Hawkins called about Vacek case" - a reference to director of photography Jack Vacek.
b.		Robert Altman filmed extensively during the real Parisian fashion catwalks, capturing the real spring collections of that year and a host of real-life celebrities. Altman and his writer Barbara Shulgasser then integrated several different storylines into the footage that they had acquired.
c.		In 2007, the American Film Institute ranked this as the #94 Greatest Movie of All Time.
d.		Kamuela C. Searle was seriously injured during filming. According to the book "Tarzan of the Movies" by Gabe Essoe, Searle died of these injuries. However, other sources state he actually died in 1924.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)?
a.		Danny and Carlas last names are the same as the firm Darrin worked for on the classic sitcom Bewitched: McMann and Tate.
b.		Dino De Laurentiis and Paramount originally wanted to call the film "The Sidewalk Vigilante" because they thought a movie with "Death" in the title was a deterrent and would put audiences off.
c.		The scene where the Mustang tags a car on the highway and spins into a telephone pole was a real accident. Star/director H.B. Halicki was badly hurt and filming was stopped while he recovered. The scene was left in.
d.		This movie is full of computer animation and CGI backgrounds. All the bells appearing throughout the movie are 3D-rendered. When Quasimodo was singing "Out There" and sliding down the flying buttress, it appears 3D. During the "Topsy Turvy" sequence, the confetti and the crowd of hundred people are digital images. While Esmeralda was singing "God Help the Outcasts", the reflection of the rose window is computer-rendered. During the "Hellfire" sequence, the background flames are one example of CGI. At the scene where we see the millers home getting burned, the flames that big and appearing too fast were hard to animate traditionally, so probably the animators used computer generated images for this. Also when Quasimodo was rappelling down from Notre Dame to save Esmeralda, we can see hand-drawn animation combined with 3D scenes.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)?

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)?
a.		The soundtrack LP, released by Columbia Records, vaulted to ninth position among "Billboard"s popular albums.
b.		Movie producer David Workman bought a cover page and a "glowing" review in auction from Seattles "The Stranger" - an independent newspaper. The auction proceeds were used to feed the hungry.
c.		93 cars are crashed in this 97 minute movie.
d.		The first cut of the film presented to the Fox executives was 186 minutes long. This had been taken from a 280 minute assembly edit (in the assembly, the actual siege itself was 45 minutes long). The main thing the executives questioned was the subplot involving Sibyllas son, as they felt this was Balians story, and his story didnt need that particular plot line. Indeed, even during pre-production itself, executives had ordered writer William Monahan to write a version of the script without the Baldwin V plot, and Ridley Scott shot the film in such a way that the plot could be easily cut.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)?
a.		As of June 2010, Arthur Gardner is the only surviving member of either the cast or crew.
b.		In the original script, the opening scene was longer featuring a subplot of Keaton (Gabriel Byrne) planting a bomb on the ship. It was shot but later left on the cutting floor. Part of it remained with Keaton asking Keyzer, "What time is it?". Because of the last minute change, all shots of the exploding ship were shot at Director Bryan Singers backyard.
c.		The fire trucks seen on the Gerald Desmond Bridge during the main chase were real Long Beach FD units on their way to an emergency call. The "crash" staged for the film was blocking both lanes and they could not get past until the cars were cleared. Director H.B. Halicki asked the camera crew to film them in case there was somewhere to fit the shot into the movie. There was.
d.		George C. Scott and Marlon Brando played chess together during waits during the shooting. In his PLAYBOY interview of December 1980 (Vol. 27, Iss. 12, pg. 81-138), Scott told Lawrence Grobel - who had conducted the famous interview with Brando for PLAYBOY a year earlier - that Marlon was not that good a player. Many years later, Christiane Kubrick would level the same charge against Scott, who was beaten regularly by her late husband Stanley Kubrick on the set of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb between setups.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)?
a.		In the scene where Wallace takes a picture of Adam with the two girls at a party, Wallace says, "happy ho-lidays." This is a reference to a song by the actor who played Wallace, Ludacris. In 2001 he released a song called "Area Codes" in which the line is found.
b.		The final musical scene, "Youre the One That I Want" was filmed with the help of a traveling carnival. However, director Randal Kleiser decided the next day that additional scenes were needed for close-ups. Unfortunately the carnival had left town so set decorators were called in to build replica backgrounds, that matched the carnival rides construction for the close-ups.
c.		Director and star H.B. Halicki drove at least two of the cars during the crash scene on the Gerald Desmond Bridge.
d.		At the beginning of the movie the Japanese soldiers that are trained by the Americans are using American made Model 1861 Springfield rifle muskets and British made Pattern 1853 Enfield rifle muskets, no doubt surplus from the American Civil War (which ended 11 years before the beginning of the movie). At the final battle however, the now better trained and better equipped army can be seen using Prussian made Gewehr 1871 bolt action Mausers, a single shot bolt action black powder cartridge rifle. This rifle, unlike modern bolt action rifles, had no magazine (The Model 1871/84 would add a tubular magazine). This equipment update is also reflected in the dress of the Japanese soldiers, which abandon the American 1870s look of the first part of the movie and adopt a stern, militaristic Prussian look (dark blue blouse, white gaiters, the more military style cap of a professional army instead of a French style kepi then used by the United States). This is because the elite Japanese units during this time were trained by Prussia, and the Model 1871 Mauser was widely exported during the 1870s-1880s, and was not fully replaced even in Prussian/German service until 1889.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)?
a.		Nearly every civilian vehicle seen in close proximity to the main chase (especially in downtown Long Beach) was owned by director H.B. Halicki. This resulted in several of them being seen multiple times throughout the 40-minute sequence. The second "Eleanor" (that Maindrian steals from the car wash) and the white Ford that he and Stanley spend much of their time in are visible parked in one street that Maindrian turns into before hitting the boat in Long Beach. The white Ford also shows up in many other shots.
b.		The movies line "Adrian!" was voted as the #9 of "The 100 Greatest Movie Lines" by Premiere in 2007.
c.		To prepare for his role, Robert De Niro lived in Sicily.
d.		During filming, the cast had to avoid tripping on cables that laid over the floor, because of the moving cameras and lighting.
