About the movie: An immortal Scottish swordsman must confront the last of his immortal opponent, a murderously brutal barbarian who lusts for the fabled "Prize".

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Highlander (1986)?

b.		Four other children were brought in to augment the singing of the seven von Trapp children - to produce a better, fuller, more polished sound. Among the four "extra singers" was the younger sister of Charmian Carr (Liesl), Darleen Carr.
c.		The entire running time for The Lord of the Rings trilogy is approximately 8 hours and 37 minutes, from start to finish.
d.		According to the directors commentary, the animated lightning on Connors shoulders when he receives The Prize was actually supposed to disguise the wires - ironically, this may have just drawn more attention to them.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Highlander (1986)?
a.		The big red bumper sticker on the back of Sam Hesslemans wheelchair seat reads: "Of Course Im drunk, Im no stunt driver!"
b.		Among the many ancient artifacts in MacLeods storeroom is Ramirezs vest and hat.
c.		Jeep Swensons last film.
d.		"The Screen Guild Theater" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on November 10, 1949 with Ava Gardner reprising her film role.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Highlander (1986)?
a.		After the crew was thrown out of East Prairie, Missouri by the chief of police (for allegedly being "communists"), Roger Corman realized that he needed one more wide shot of the high school. He and an assistant went back into the town, and hurriedly filmed the shot. The chief must have gotten wind of his being there, as he was seen by Corman arriving in the distance. Corman and his assistant quickly threw the camera and equipment into their car, and sped away in the opposite direction, unscathed.
b.		King Donovons final movie.
c.		First sound picture for Buck Jones.
d.		The scene in the alley where the Kurgan (Clancy Brown) beheads Kastagir (Hugh Quarshie) and then stabs the gun nut, followed by the explosion, was filmed in an alley in England even though it was set in New York. The director was reluctant to set off the explosion in the alley because the windows were full of Victorian glass, but he was given permission to do so because that particular site was going to be destroyed in a few months anyway.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Highlander (1986)?
a.		When Morpheus is explaining "What the Matrix is" to Neo, he uses the phrase, "Welcome, to the desert of the real." This is a paraphrase from Jean Baudrillards "Simulacra and Simulation", the hollowed-out book where Neo keeps his illegal software. The quote can be found in Chapter One - The Precession of Simulacra, Page one, Paragraph 2, "It is the real, and not the map, whose vestiges persist here and there in the deserts that are no longer those of the Empire, but ours. The desert of the real itself." NB: The American title of Baudrillards book is Simulations. It was published by Semiotext(e) in 1983.
b.		At the end of the film, when the portal to Hell opens, Freddy Kruegers glove emerges to snatch Jasons hockey mask. If one accepts that Freddy was in Hell following his defeat in Freddys Dead: The Final Nightmare (which was released in 1991 but actually set in the future), interesting timeline clues emerge. Namely, "Freddys Dead" took place (according to the beginning crawl) "ten years from now". As noted, Freddys Dead: The Final Nightmare came out in 1991. However, the "Nightmare on Elm Street" Companion website opted to interpret "10 Years from Today" as 10 years from 1989 (events of the prior film to the "Final Nightmare", A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child). In any event, if "Jason Goes To Hell" follows the events of "Freddys Dead", then it must take place in either 1999 or 2001.
c.		The film was shot in 38 days. The very first thing to be shot was the fight between Dixon and Rocky. This was done because Sylvester Stallones training (which had been going on for six months) had to stop once the film went into production and he began to concentrate on directing. If the fight had been left until the end of the schedule, Stallone would not have been in as good shape as he was at the start.
d.		Russell Mulcahy: The first person hit by the Kurgans car when hes driving on the sidewalk.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Highlander (1986)?
a.		Unused footage includes a sequence with Kurgan fighting an immortal security guard named Yung Dol Kim in an office building. Kim, tiring of his immortal life, yields to Kurgan, who takes his head.
b.		The first Universal film released on HD-DVD (High Definition DVD).
c.		Premiere voted this movie as one of "The 50 Greatest Comedies Of All Time" in 2006.
d.		Jane Greer tested for the lead role.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Highlander (1986)?
a.		In the scenes following Connor taking the Kurgans head, director Russell Mulcahy had originally envisioned an animated dragon with the Kurgans skull battle helmet emerging from the Kurgans decapitated body and challenging Connor again. Only after Connor had defeated this Ghost-Dragon would he have received the final quickening and subsequent Prize. This idea was eventually cut due to budget restraints.
b.		There is no parish or town in Louisiana known as Chinquapin. "Chinquapin" is the name for a type of fish and a particular breed of oak tree. The town of Natchitoches in the parish of the same name served as the backdrop for the film. The town was named after the "NAKTOSH" Indians whose names means "chinquapin eaters". Natchitoches actually does have a large Christmas Light Festival annually. Natchitoches was also the first settlement in the Louisiana Territory.
c.		The note that Ford uses in the pub to buy six pints "and keep the change" is a £50 Bank of England note with the engraving of Sir John Houblon on the back. In the original 1978 radio version and in The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, it was "a fiver".
d.		Though not mentioned by name, the setting of the film is Ashland, Oregon (Laika Entertainment is based in Oregon). The stage performers and performances are references to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival held in Ashland.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Highlander (1986)?

b.		While doing press for Desperate Hours in the fall of 1990, Michael Cimino, in a TV interview, claimed full responsibility for what had happened during the making of this film.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Highlander (1986)?
a.		According to the DVD commentary, the films climax was originally intended to take place on top of the Statue of Liberty. This was then changed to an amusement park, and finally changed to the rooftop of the Silvercup Studios building.
b.		Lionel Barrymore was severely disabled by arthritis (clearly visible in his hands) and was confined to a wheelchair, making the scene in which his Mr. Temple character gets up and falls taking a swing at Toots more than a dramatic moment.
c.		Cindy tells Dean that he has potential in life because of his artistic talents. The argument about potentiality was based on a talk between Derek Cianfrance and his wife about getting the film made for many years.
d.		Although Scorponok is the only robot in the film that does not transform, the centre of his body appears to be a General Electric T64 turboshaft engine, and his forearms are partly shaped from the side exhausts; since his master Blackout was a helicopter, this would mean he was one of Blackouts engines.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Highlander (1986)?
a.		In the opening sequence there is a shot of the exterior of the fictional American Ballet Academy. Actually, that building is the Julliard School, and the top floor with the dance studio in it was added to the top of the building with digital special effects.
b.		During the final fight sequence between McLeod and Kurgan on the roof of the Silvercup Studios building, cables can be seen in the foreground pulling the studios neon sign down. After filming had been completed, the production discovered that they had done so much damage to both the set and the actual roof of the Silvercup studios building as to make re-takes impossible.
c.		Anthony Hopkins was offered a major role.
d.		"The Screen Guild Theater" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on March 16, 1950 with Rosalind Russell and Brian Aherne reprising their film roles.
