1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: King of New York (1990)?
a.		The gun that Bill uses appears to be a Colt Single Action Army, or "Peacemaker", it has a birds head grip (a modern innovation). It is obviously chambered for .45 Colt as seen on the back of the bullet fired in the internal gun shot in Kill Bill: Vol. 1.
b.		The interior scenes in which Wesley Snipes and David Caruso are seen driving around during the final car chase were actually shot in a warehouse in Red Hook, Brooklyn with rubber hoses placed on top of the roof of the car to make it look as if it was raining for continuity.
c.		Tom Savini choose the gray color for the zombies skin, since Night of the Living Dead was in B&W and the zombie skin-tone was not depicted. He later said it was a mistake, because many of them ended up looking quite blue on film.
d.		Ben doesnt eat a single thing during the entire film. This reinforces his dependence on alcohol as chronic alcoholics usually forget to eat or cant force food down. During the restaurant scene he puts spaghetti on his fork but doesnt eat it. And when Sera fixes him rice, he eats an ice cube instead.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: King of New York (1990)?
a.		Film debut of Wendell Corey.
b.		This film is presumed lost. Please check your attic.
c.		The shootout between the Chinese gang and Christopher Walkens crew was filmed in the same alley featured in China Girl, also directed by Ferrara, in Downtown Manhattan.
d.		Jack Nicholson received a percentage of the gross on the film, and due to its massive box-office took home around $60 million. As of 2003 it is still the single-movie record for actors salary.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: King of New York (1990)?
a.		This is the first Harry Potter film to receive a "PG-13" rating or its international equivalent (for sequences of fantasy violence and frightening images). The preceding films having been rated "PG" or one of its international equivalents.
b.		During the films premiere at the New York Film Festival, many members of the audience including Ferraras wife walked out of the theater. At the question-and-answer session that Ferrara held after the screening, the first question asked was, "This film is an abomination. Why arent you giving the proceeds to some drug rehab program?" At a second showing of the film the next day, Laurence Fishburne and Nicholas St. John (I) were booed off the stage.
c.		Dr. Logan figures that the ratio of the undead to the human survivors is 400,000:1. When the film was made, in 1985, the population of the United States in our universe stood at about 240 million. If Dr. Logan is right, and the US population of this universe stood at roughly the same, and this film took place in 1985, there are 600 living human beings left in the USA. However, since the history of the universe in the "of the Dead" movies had radically diverged from real world history even before the ghouls emerged (notice the Venus probe in the first movie), the timeline of the "Dead" movies remains unclear (the Stephen King novel Salems Lost appears in this film, even though in the real world it came out in 1975; note that the first film in this series came out in 1968; Diary of the Dead, set simultaneously with the events of Night of the Living Dead, features technology not available in 1968 in our world), and we do not know how long after the ghouls emerged that this film takes place, one cannot easily presume that this film takes place in 1985 or that the US population would have remained the same.
d.		The origins of this project date back to 1955, as a musical/drama vehicle produced by Warner Brothers for Judy Garland, and as a follow-up to her triumph in A Star Is Born. After Garland lost the Academy Award for Best Actress that year, all future projects between Transcona Productions (the production company set up by Garland and her husband Sidney Luft) were abandoned and her 3 picture contract canceled.
