a.		Howie Long: In the directors cut Long makes a brief appearance as, Lloyd, Mr. Whites assumed boyfriend.
b.		The films producer, Marvin Worth, had actually known Malcolm X in real life. This was instrumental in him acquiring the rights to tell Malcolm Xs story in 1967, though it would take over 20 years for him to achieve that. In that time, Worth produced his own Oscar-nominated documentary on the subject, and commissioned numerous scripts, including one by David Mamet. At one point, Eddie Murphy was interested in one of the scripts. When Spike Lee came on board, he read all the different scripts and opted for the first one written by James Baldwin.
c.		In 1938, Chief Thundercloud played Tonto in the serial The Lone Ranger. In 1939, he repeated the role in the serial The Lone Ranger Rides Again with Robert Livingston as the Lone Ranger.
d.		The character of Evan is based on Writer/Director Mike Olingers high school newspaper editor.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Less Like Me (2004)?
a.		The original title, "Just Another Story", was taken from lyrics to the Clash song "Death or Glory", which was going to be used in the film. When Writer/Director Mike Olinger found out that a movie already existed with that title, he settled on Less Like Me, and dropped the Clash song from the film.
b.		Steve Martin took over the lead role after Michael Keaton quit the production. Producer Daniel Melnick was another to walk, reputedly over money tussles with Paramount.
c.		The pinball machine in the last scene is a Bally Fireball from 1971. In the film, the brand name "Bally" has been changed to "Rally", and while the name "Fireball" appears in some shots, in others it is changed to something else. The game is also shown in the film with 5 digit score displays while the real game has 4 digit displays. The Player 2 and Player 3 scores are both shown with a score of 11111, which means the player is playing a 3 or 4 player game all by himself and has a very unlikely score, or the machine in the dream is broken. Also, any real pinball machine with 5-digit scoring would have the rightmost digit fixed at "0".
d.		A medieval version of The London Eye (a large Ferris wheel) can be seen in the aerial shot of London. The shot is not computer generated but is of a model which cost $500,000.

b.		The original version of the score was composed during production of the film and didnt mesh with the final cut. It was thrown out and composer Garett Grow was given three weeks to write a new score
c.		Rock guitarist Tom Morello assisted Ramin Djawadi in composing the films soundtrack. Morello himself has a cameo in the film as a security guard who gets killed by the Iron Monger (perhaps fittingly, since Morello is a member of the band Rage Against the Machine).
d.		This is Curtis Armstrongs first movie.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Less Like Me (2004)?

The opening scene of the film made its debut on Funnyordie.com.
c.		At the end of the film, a Viking ship is set afire by flaming arrows in a rendering of a traditional Viking funeral. Director Richard Fleischer took great care to have the archers practice the moment, training them to release the arrows on the count of "three," and hoping at least some of the arrows would arc properly to hit the sail of the ship and set it on fire. When the time came for the live shot, the director only reached the count of "two", when one over-eager archer loosed his arrow. As luck would have it, the arrow arced perfectly and hit the sail. Then, Fleischer called, "Three!" and the other archers loosed their arrows. Fleischer decided that he liked the one, single arrow being launched first, and kept the shot in the film because it looked like part of the ceremony.
d.		James Cagneys powers of memorization were failing him and cue cards had to be used for the 81-year-old actor.

b.		Animator/filmmaker Ralph Bakshi tried to convince producer Laila Nabulsi to let him do "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" as an animated movie, done in the style of Ralph Steadmans illustrations for the book. Bakshi is quoted as saying: "Hunter had given the rights to a girlfriend of his. I spent three days with her trying to talk her into me animating it - she wanted to make a live action of it - I kept telling her that a live action would look like a bad cartoon but an animated version would be a great one. She had a tremendous disdain for animators because it wasnt considered the top of Hollywood. Hunter also could not make her change her mind. So she made the pic with Johnny Depp (who is a great actor) and got the film I told her she would get - it would have been more real in a cartoon using Steadmans drawings."
c.		Since the films original release, the location used as the Sawyer family house has changed completely. Its now an open field, with no indication there had ever been a house there. The house itself has been relocated and fully restored. It is now operated as the Junction House Restaurant on the grounds of the Antlers Hotel complex at 1010 King Street in Kingsland, Texas.
