1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hooper (1978)?
a.		In the text of a newspaper article in the film: "If youve paused the film in order to read this entire article, your time would be better spent renting Citizen Ruth from your local video store. Do you know how hard it is to write these fake few stories for newspaper movie props? Ive got better things to do."

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Hooper (1978)?

Otto Preminger, who spent his younger years evading the Nazis, was less than thrilled at the concept of directing near the sites of his former trauma and would direct scenes from his car while filming in East Germany.

Broccoli, the producer of the James Bond movies.
