About the movie: A girl's incredible adventure on a lost island!

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Island of the Blue Dolphins (1964)?
a.		The film was shot in 7 days, the first draft completed in a month and the final version in 3 months.
b.		Loose adaptation of Voltaires "Candide" reconfigured for the permissive 1960s.
c.		The scene with Mike and Trent talking in the car on the side of the road was also filmed without a permit (not only could the production not afford one, it is actually impossible for any film production to acquire one to film on that particular highway). Originally they had planned to film just an establishing shot of the two of them in the car, and a shot of them driving away, and then film the dialog shots later. But director Doug Liman decided instead to film the entire scene on the actual side of the road. During filming, several police showed up, and demanded to see a permit. The assistant director held up the police by telling them that they had a permit, but it was in the office across town, several miles away. To get away with the rest of the scene being filmed, Liman had to pretend he was not filming, and didnt look in the viewfinder, and used a microphone inside of the car instead of a boom. Most of the scene was filmed like this, with the police waiting just out of shot, and the two actors and the director pretending they were in fact not shooting.
d.		This movie is based on the Newbery Award-winning book "Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott ODell. The book is based on the true story of a woman left behind on the Channel Islands by missionaries in the early 1800s. She lived alone on the one of the islands for 18 years and died of dysentery seven weeks after she was "rescued" and brought to the mainland. She is buried in the graveyard of the Santa Barbara Mission in California.

b.		The Chumash tribe (not the principles) were played by the Manchester and Kashia tribes of the Pomo nation.
c.		In 1953, RKO reissued this film theatrically on a double bill with another western, Fort Apache starring John Wayne and Henry Fonda, with the tag line "Two Rip-Roaring Action Hits!"
d.		John Woo: [unusual hand-to-hand weapons] On the train, Terry kicks the helicopters tail-rotor against Shepherds arm to knock him off-balance.
