1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Maverick (1994)?
a.		Austin Newman and Neal Beggs were roommates during filming.
b.		The (fake) brand of liquor that Bruce gives his dog is Shemps. In some Raimi/Campbell projects, body-doubles and stand-ins are called Fake Shemps, after Shemp Howard of the Three Stooges.
c.		Steve Kahan (dealer during the poker tournament) also plays Mel Gibsons (Martin Riggs) captain in the "Lethal Weapon" franchise. In that series, Gibson is a constant irritation for Kahan throughout. As an inside joke, near the end of the tournament you see Kahan give Gibson a terse handshake (barely acknowledging his presence) before quickly exiting the table. This happens right after Gibsons character knocks out the last player before reaching the final table. In actuality Kahan gets stuck in his chair, and as he stands up his chair comes with him. His handshake with Gibson is cut short because he wants to remove the chair. Notice Gibsons expression as he chokes back a laugh just before the scene changes.

b.		Mel Gibson assumes the title character originated by co-star James Garner in Maverick and a slew of miscellaneous episodes from related TV series.
c.		Beginning during Cinques lifetime, rumors circulated that he himself became a slave trader after his return to Africa. (Oxford History of the American People, 1965 states: "The court with a majority of Southerners, was so impressed by the old statesmans eloquence that it ordered Cinque and the other Negroes set free, and they were returned to Africa. The ironic epilogue is that Cinque, once home, set himself up as a slave trader.") However, recent research disproves these rumors (Joseph Yannielli, Cinque the Slave Trader: Some New Evidence on an Old Controversy, Common-Place, Vol. 10, October 2009). It is believed that Cinque and the other freed prisoners from the Amistad returned to Africa in 1842, at which time Cinques home country of Sierra Leone was being torn apart by civil war. Cinque and his companions from the Amistad kept in contact with members from the local Christian mission, and this contact provides todays researchers with pieces of information regarding his later life. After a while, Cinque left the area to trade along the coast of West Africa. Most stories of his later life are simply rumor. George Thompsons Thompson in Africa: or, An account of the missionary labors, sufferings... (1852) puts forward the idea that Cinque had moved to Jamaica. Others held that he had become a merchant or a chief, perhaps trading in slaves himself. However, this rumor of Cinque himself engaging in the slave trade has been seriously disputed. The origin of these claims appears to be statements made by early 20th-century author William A. Owens who claimed to have seen letters from AMA missionaries suggesting Cinque was a slave trader. While it is likely that some of the freed Amistad prisoners probably did engage in the slave trade upon their return to Africa, today most historians agree that Cinque was not among them, and these claims are false.
