1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Lust for Gold (1949)?
a.		Producer/director S. Sylvan Simon took over from George Marshall during production.
b.		At the top of the closing credits during the PoP pop-up video, one of the trivia history bubbles mentions that "Colin created a huge controversy when he declared PoP to be bigger than The Beatles". This is a reference to the furor caused when Noel Gallagher of Oasis referred to the band as being "bigger than The Beatles." It can also be seen as hearkening back to the the international controversy caused by John Lennon when he declared that The Beatles were more popular than Jesus Christ.
c.		In the scene when Lugosi appears on the TV show playing Dracula, the comic in the skit (played by Bobby Slayton) was clearly based on Charlie Callas.
d.		During one scene, Kristy McNichol sits in the crowd looking bored as some other girls perform "The Sisters Song" from "The Pirates of Penzance." In the 1982 film The Pirate Movie, McNichol wound up sitting through the song again, performed by her on-screen sisters.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Lust for Gold (1949)?

b.		Original screenwriter Fred Dekker intended on directing the film with Kurt Russell in mind for Nick Styles until he lost interest.
c.		The character of Buckley is based on the 1931 murder of Adolph Ruth, whose knowledge of the Lost Dutchman came from his father through an employee of the Peralta family. He disappeared in Superstition in 1931 and his skull was found half a year later with two bullet holes in it. Also discovered was his unfired pistol and his checkbook in which he had written that he had indeed located the mine. Over the years other murders and disappearances of treasure seekers have helped to build the legend.
d.		In the scene with the prostitute Christie (Cara Seymour), Batemans friend mentions their mutual acquaintance "Alison Poole". Alison Poole is the narrator and main character of the novel Story of My Life by Jay McInerney, a contemporaneous peer author to Bret Easton Ellis.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Lust for Gold (1949)?
a.		As the German soldier stabs Mellish to death, he says: "Gib auf, du hast keine Chance! Lass es uns beenden! Es ist einfacher für dich, viel einfacher. Du wirst sehen, es ist gleich vorbei." This translates: "Give up, you dont stand a chance! Lets end this here! It will be easier for you, much easier. Youll see it will be over quickly." The words are spoken in accent-free German.
b.		The real Jacob Walz, who claimed that he had discovered the Dutchman, died of pneumonia after severe flooding on his Arizona Ranch in 1891. He was nursed by Julia Thomas, the same name as the character portrayed by Ida Lupino and reputed to have been a quadroon. She claimed Walz had told her the mines location on his deathbed and even sold shares in a Lost Dutchman mining company, but nothing ever came of it.
c.		The marquee of the theatre "the Projectionist" works at lists the film itself as the film that is currently playing...in other words, the film Now Showing is indeed the film Now Showing.
d.		For Manchester scenes (filmed on actual streets in the USA), any overly "American" curbside items (like certain fire hydrants) were hidden by dropping bottom-less slatted metal trash cans over them and then adding prop "English" rubbish; however, extras and crew unaware of this subtle artful touch continuously filled the apparently-normal-looking receptacles with their own trash. Between filming sessions, rueful set dressers would have to remove a foot-high layer of discarded plastic water bottles (and then reset and fluff the "official" rubbish).

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Lust for Gold (1949)?

b.		Guy Pearce did most of his own stunts, and occasionally got frustrated when he wasnt allowed to do a few.
c.		Valeris was originally written to be Saavik, Spocks trainee from Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home lending greater impact to her characters betrayal. However, Gene Roddenberry objected to the characters actions, ending up in a battle with director/screenwriter Nicholas Meyer (who believed the Saavik character was his to do with as he pleased). Roddenberry won the dispute and the character was rewritten into Valeris, who is played by Kim Cattrall. Cattrall wanted to play a different character rather than be the third incarnation of Saavik, following Kirstie Alley and Robin Curtis. Meyer had originally wanted Cattrall to play Saavik back in 1982, but she was unavailable.

c.		The POV shot where Amsterdam re-emerges into the Five Points after recuperating from his wound (specifically, the four or five men loafing on either side of the alley) is a visual reference to a Jacob Riis photo, "Bandits Roost," used as cover art on some editions of Herbert Asburys "Gangs of New York."
d.		There were actually four different mines called the Lost Dutchman in American history. Two are in Arizona, one in Colorado, and one in California.
