Michael Mann
s eye for detail.

9.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Grand Prix (1966)?
a.
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.

s own voice was heard in his performance as Izo Yamura at the films premiere, but afterward he was dubbed by
Paul Frees
in all general release and roadshow prints.
10.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Grand Prix (1966)?
a.
Devastators alternate mode, a hybrid tank resembling the M1 Abrams and Leopard II, was a remodeled version of the "stealth tank" from
xXx: State of the Union
.
Michael Bay
had browsed through all the tanks in the United States Military to find the right tank to serve as Devastators alternate mode, but finally settled on the stealth tank which he felt had the proper attitude for a Decepticon (it was mean, authoritarian and weapon-loaded). Additionally, the prop tank is much lighter than a real one, which was of benefit when most on-screen action was of it driving on paved roads.
b.
The red and white muslin gown worn by a wedding guest is the same costume worn by
Catherine Walker
(Eleanor Tilney) to greet Catherine and Henry when they return from Woodston in
Northanger Abbey
.
