1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hellzapoppin' (1941)?
a.		David Lynch refuses to say anything about Eraserhead because he wants to let viewers decide for themselves what they think it means.
b.		Ridley Scott has considered directing a sequel to this film at various times. Some sequel scripts were published as novels. While working on the Final Cut DVD in 2007, Scott again considered a follow-up detailing the lives of Rachel and Deckard after the events of the first film. Actress Sean Young expressed great interest in reprising her character. At the 2007 Comic-Con, Scott again announced that he is considering a sequel to the film, and by September 2008, Travis Wright was writing the screenplay, working in conjunction with John Glenn. According to Glenn, the script explores the nature of the Off-World colonies, and examines what happens to the Tyrell Corporation in the wake of its founders death. As of March 2011, Broderick Johnson and Andrew A. Kosove of Alcon Entertainment are negotiating for the film, television and ancillary franchise rights from producer-director Bud Yorkin. Johnson and Kosove are wanting to serve as producers to a sequel and/or prequel.
c.		The building at the climax of the movie is the same one used in the climax of True Lies and many of the shots are similar to this later film.
d.		The films Best Song nomination for "Pig Foot Pete" is a mystery. The song does not appear in Hellzapoppin, but did appear in Keep Em Flying, an Abbott & Costello film that was made the same year by the same production company and studio.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hellzapoppin' (1941)?
a.		Director John Hughes insisted that the entire cast and crew eat their meals on location in the Maine North High School cafeteria.
b.		Mischa Auer plays "a real Russian nobleman who is pretending to be a fake Russian nobleman." This is a satire on Michael Romanoff, owner of the popular Hollywood restaurant, Romanoffs. He claimed to be a Russian prince and nephew of Tsar Nicholas II, but it was widely known in Hollywood that his royalty claims were false. (In fact, his real name was Harry F. Gerguson, and prior to opening his restaurant, he had been a pants presser in Brooklyn.) This is why Mischa Auer tells his fellow Russian expatriate, "Better I should be known as a fake Russian prince. If everyone knew I was a real Russian prince, the novelty would wear off, and nobody would want me."
c.		The producers were actually involved with putting on a real haunted house event for Halloween. The idea for the film came from this yearly event.
d.		Burt Reynolds and Candice Bergen co-starred six years previously in Starting Over.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hellzapoppin' (1941)?
a.		According to producer Russ Dodson ,this was Branscombe Richmonds first speaking bit part in a busy career.
b.		King Kongs friend Bobby Bond and his father and sister were eliminated from the movie, and replaced by the cast that is in the film.
c.		Maddie Cormans character is named "Zuzu Petals", a reference to Its a Wonderful Life. In that movie, George Baileys daughter, Zuzu, had brought home a flower she had got at school. She shows it to her father and complains that some of the petals are falling off. He puts these in his pocket. Later, when he "has never been born", he reaches into his pocket and Clarence the Angel, says, "Theyre not there." "What?" asks George. "Zuzus petals."
d.		Dan Rowan and Dick Martin cited this movie as the main inspiration for the style of their comedy show, Rowan & Martins Laugh-In.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hellzapoppin' (1941)?

b.		The woman who walks through the movie set shouting "Oscar!" is Catherine Johnson, Chic Johnsons wife.
c.		Ted Turner: CSA Col. Waller Patton, the forbearer of two future US Army generals.
d.		Roberto Benignis line "Its a sad and beautiful world" was the result of a misunderstanding. The script read "Thats sad and beautiful music", but Benigni said "Its a sad and beautiful word", but Waits and Jarmusch misheard it and though he said "WORLD", and so, the line stuck.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hellzapoppin' (1941)?
a.		In the scene in which Tom Hankss character tells the rest of the unit what he does for a living back at home, Hanks speech was much longer in the original script. But Hanks felt that his character wouldnt have said so much about himself, and he told director Steven Spielberg so. Spielberg agreed, and the speech was shortened.
b.		The original Broadway production of "Hellzapoppin" opened at the 46th Street Theater on September 22, 1938 and ran for 1404 performances -- a considerable run for a Broadway show in the 1930s. The original theatrical run included moves to the Winter Garden Theater and the Majestic Theater. The comic team of Chic Johnson and Ole Oleson wrote and produced the review, and served as emcees for the show. As with the movie, the Broadway show was a mix of absurdist comedy skits, comic musical numbers, walk-on comedians, and audience participation. There were running gags, such as the woman who walked down the theater aisles shouting "Oscar!", and the man with the potted plant who shouted "Miss Jones!" (One gag from the Broadway show that did not make it into the movie was a woman in the audience who stood up several times and announced she was "just going to the bathroom.") The Harlem Congaroos -- the Lindy Hop dance troupe that appears in the film -- also appeared in the original Broadway show (although during the shows run, they were variously billed as Whiteys Steppers or Whiteys Lindy Hoppers).
c.		In the climactic prison uprising, actress Barbara Rhoades is last seen wearing a corset (with amply jiggling cleavage), a decorative hat and one elbow-length glove. But interviews with Rhoades, and an actress whod turned down the role, reveal that the scene went further and Rhoades was filmed virtually nude. At least one still photo (apparently from the movie) shows Rhoades nude from the waist up, wearing the same hat and elbow-length glove mentioned above. (She turned down a proposed Playboy pictorial.) In a pre-release interview, Rhoades told interviewer Dan Lewis that she didnt realize her scene would be so "explicit" until the day of shooting. Her character reportedly flees "after her clothes are torn off in a prison scene and she races across the desert in her birthday suit." Actress Eileen ONeill was offered the role but turned it down. "When I read the script, my character is ravaged by the revolting prisoners and they tear her clothes off. She then had to run nude from the prison to an outside area lit with floodlights." Even costar Michael Blodgett "excitedly" told Hollywood gossip columnist Marilyn Beck, "Its a prison story, wild and new...man, such nudity!" Why the explicit nudity was deleted is unexplained, and the footage is presumed lost. By todays standards, what remains is fairly tame: a couple glimpses of the bare backside of star Kirk Douglas, a glimpse of a bare breast here and there, and some mildly risque drawings. Promoted as a "cynical western," "There Was a Crooked Man" was released on Christmas Day 1970. It did poorly at the holiday box office.
d.		The fifth of six "Thin Man" movies starring William Powell and Myrna Loy, filmed May 8-July 14 1944.
