Famous trivia from Hollywood movie : Head (1968)

This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Head (1968).

About the movie: The Monkees are tossed about in a psychedelic, surrealist, plotless, circular bit of fun fluff.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Head (1968)?
a.		Another deleted scene which took place after Lauras death extended the dialogue between Cooper and The Man From Another Place. Just after the dwarf says "I am the arm," Cooper notices that the ring disappeared. He then informs Cooper that someone else has taken the ring, and implies that Cooper is trapped in the Lodge forever.
b.		Inside Robert Parrs cubicle is a danger sign. The image is the lightning bolt of DC Comicss Captain Marvel (SHAZAM!) using the red of his uniform instead of the gold. It is in the distinctive shape of the Marvel family (Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel, Captain Marvel Jr., and Black Adam), not that of the various Flash costumes. When Mr. Incredible gets his new fancy car, the emblem on the hood is in the triangular shape of the Golden Age Superman symbol. The black ray-like vehicle that delivers Mr. Incredible to the island is a reference to the Black Manta, an enemy of Aquaman and member of the Legion of Doom. And Gazer-Beam is a direct reference to both Marvel Comicss Cyclops of the X-Men (the eye-beam/visor) and Daredevil (secret identity of lawyer Matt Murdock).
c.		The Monkees wanted to be involved in this project from start to finish. When they learned they would be denied screenwriting credit, all but Peter Tork decided to rebel by failing to show up on the first day of shooting, 11 February 1968.
d.		In a scene cut from the movie, Duke and Gonzo tell a DA from Atlanta about a rather gruesome incident which happened at a McDonalds. In the final cut, during check-in scene at the Mint Hotel, a man in a cowboy hat tells the exact same story to someone over a payphone.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Head (1968)?

b.		Set in 1925; the Phibes tombstones say 1921, and the characters say Anton and Victoria died 4 years earlier.
c.		For the most part, there is no English dialogue heard in this movie. The language heard is grunt like Cavespeak. Technically, the language (other than the small amount of English) that is heard in this movie could be described as Gibberish just like the grunt language was so described for the classic French cult movie Themroc.
d.		Composer Alexandre Desplats favorite Harry Potter character is Dobby.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Head (1968)?

c.		The "box" shown in several scenes in the film was inspired by a large square booth that was built for The Monkees during the filming of their TV show. Between takes, they grew bored and wandered around the studio, often getting lost, so studio brass had a large "room" built for them in one of the sound stages. According to one of the Monkees, they would spend time there studying their scripts, composing and playing music, and smoking (which they were forbidden to do on the set). Colored lights were added to the room to page whoever was needed on the set.

b.		The neighborhood where the film takes place is the same street where the films director, F. Gary Gray, grew up in South Central, Los Angeles. Principal houses that were used for filming were houses of old friends of the director. The scene where Deebo punches Red into the air is the house that F. Gary Gray grew up in.
c.		During production, details of the films plot were kept secret. Christopher Nolan, who wrote the script, cryptically described it as a contemporary sci-fi action thriller "set within the architecture of the mind."

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Head (1968)?

b.		To confuse the audiences and increase tension, Michael Rooker played the masked killer in several scenes.
c.		Director Ridley Scott and actor Harrison Ford had disagreements about the script almost from the very start. Ford hated the voiceover which Scott was proposing and he was against the idea that Deckard may be a replicant, feeling it undercut the human story of Deckard discovering his lost humanity (Rutger Hauer agreed completely with Ford on this point). According to Ford, Ridley Scott and he agreed prior to shooting that Deckard was not a replicant, but then Scott went and shot it to imply he could be, which disappointed both Ford and Hauer.
d.		This film intersperses film clips featuring John Brockman (who engineered this films promotional campaign) and The Rockettes, and scenes from the following movies: Gilda, Golden Boy, Jam Session, Salome, and The Black Cat.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Head (1968)?
a.		For fear a Monkees movie would keep serious movie critics and moviegoers away, the producers decided on a promotional campaign that emphasized the film had nothing to do with The Monkees.
b.		According to Sergio Donati, from 1967-77 all Sergio Leone had for the film was an opening scene: the corpse of an old gangster falls into the Hudson River and sinks to the bottom, where an underwater neighborhood of bodies is revealed. Leone devised this scene with writer Robert Dillon, who then pilfered it for John Frankenheimers film 99 and 44/100% Dead.
c.		To research his role as reporter Gray Grantham, Denzel Washington spent time with Washington Post editors and reporters.
d.		The green outfit worn by Parker Posey while on set is the same one worn by Courteney Cox in the first movie. All sets for "Stab 3" were replicas of the originals since the sets were destroyed after Scream_ wrapped.

10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Head (1968)?
a.		Rons dream about spiders making him tap-dance is a two-in-one reference of the next book. In Goblet of Fire there is an unforgivable curse where you can control what someone does, taught by Professor Moody. He makes a spider tap-dance on the desk.
b.		When it came time to film inside the boat, it was discovered that the large 65mm cameras wouldnt fit. The boat had to be taken out of the pond, cut in half lengthwise, and placed in an Italian sound stage. The oars wouldnt fit in the sound stage, so they had to cut them off just beyond the hull. This resulted in an extremely light oars which, when rowed by the actors, didnt look believable, since you could move them with one hand. To solve the problem, Mauro Zambuto sent an army of production assistants to all of the hardware stores in Rome to buy the kind of spring-and-hydraulic piston mechanisms that are normally attached to doors to force them closed but to keep them from slamming. Placing these devices on the oars and the hull gave enough resistance to make the rowing scenes look realistic.
c.		A misleading ad campaign (featuring a balding mans face and no mention of The Monkees), combined with a poorly timed release date (due to postproduction delays) of 6 November 1968, two months after The Monkees show was canceled, sabotaged this otherwise fun-loving crowd-pleaser at the box office. It made a meager $16,111 in ticket sales.
d.		The building used was demolished in 1967. It was replaced by the 52-story tower 140 Broadway, noted for its large red cube in the plaza.
