1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Maximum Overdrive (1986)?
a.		Lennie James actually hit himself in his private parts with the shotgun while blasting a hole in the wall at the bookies, but continued the scene. That footage was used in the film.
b.		The first week of photography was the scene where the Terminator crashes the truck on the T-X at the exterior of the vet clinic. The last day of photography was the scene where the T-X appeared from the time portal.
c.		In the teaser trailer, a small headline at the top of the framed TV Guide on Mr. Incredibles wall reads, "Kevin OBrien: First Artist on the Moon." Kevin OBrien is a storyboard artist for the movie.
d.		An accident occurred on July 31, 1985 during shooting in a suburb of Wilmington, North Carolina where a radio-controlled lawnmower used in a scene went out of control and struck a block of wood used as a camera support, shooting out wood splinters which injured the director of photography Armando Nannuzzi; as a result, he lost his right eye. Nannuzzi sued Stephen King on February 18, 1987 for $18 million in damages. The suit was settled out of court.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Maximum Overdrive (1986)?
a.		While shooting the scene where the steamroller rampages across the baseball diamond, Stephen King requested that the SFX department place a bag of fake blood near the dummy of a young player who would be run over by it. The desired effect would be that a smear of blood would appear on the steamroller and be re-smeared on the grass over and over, like a printing press. While filming the scene, however, the bag of blood exploded too soon and sprayed everywhere, making it appear as if the boys head had also exploded. King was thrilled with the results, but censors demanded the shot be cut.
b.		David Duchovny and David Hyde Pierce both auditioned for the parts of Graham and John.
c.		Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, Charlton Heston himself was not overly impressed by the finished film, suggesting in his 1995 autobiography "In the Arena" that the film might have been better if William Wyler had directed it instead of Anthony Mann.
d.		Stanley Kubrick worked on the project for 12 years before his death, but along the way decided to let Steven Spielberg direct, saying it was "closer to his sensibilities". The two collaborated for years, resulting in Kubrick giving Spielberg a complete treatment and lots of conceptual art for the film prior to his death.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Maximum Overdrive (1986)?
a.		Due to the films relatively low budget, the same two stunt men were used throughout the movie.
b.		The Happy Toyz truck is a 1981 Western Star 4800 (supposedly).
c.		The film was originally begun by Herbert Tevos as "Lost Women of Zarpa", but a variety of factors - funds running out and neither the producers nor the cast being able to get along with Tevos - resulted in the production being shut down and then abandoned. A few years later Ron Ormond bought the film, shot some new footage and released it as "Mesa of Lost Women".
d.		Deputy Tomay tells Sheriff Cepeda that Santees first arrest was eleven years ago, when he was seventeen, making Santee twenty-eight years old. Dolph Lundgren was thirty-five at the time of filming.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Maximum Overdrive (1986)?
a.		When the clay puppet face turns into Freddys, special-effects man Doug Beswick used stop-motion animation. Filming began with a clay Freddy face that was made plainer in each frame. The result was then run backwards, and that is what appears in the final cut of the film.

c.		Tab Hunter darkened his hair and Peter Brown lightened his hair in order to better match the athletes who did the actual surfing for them in the movie.
d.		During filming, Kevin Bacon wore skin-tight costumes in green, blue, grey or black, to assist with the adding of special effects. Some of his cast mates said that the hardest part of the role was not laughing at someone painted in black, green, blue or grey, pretending to be mean.

c.		When Universal let go of the script, Warner Bros. purchased it with a view to cast Frank Sinatra. Sinatra was interested, however he had broken his wrist during the filming of The Manchurian Candidate eight years previously, and during contract negotiations, he found the large handgun too unwieldy. Additionally, his father had recently passed away, and Sinatra decided he wanted to do some lighter material. After Sinatra dropped out, Warner Bros. considered Marlon Brando for the role, but never officially approached him. Next, they offered it to Steve McQueen and then Paul Newman, both of whom turned it down. Newman however suggested Clint Eastwood as a possible star.
d.		AC/DC was selected to make the music for the movie by Stephen King himself.

A telephone-pole size beam of wood was placed inside so it would flip end over end but it only flipped once and slid on its roof, right into the camera. Gene Poole, dolly grip on the film, pulled the cameraman out of the way at the last second.
b.		It was Neil Spisaks idea to use a collapsed pier as Doc Ocks lair to reflect a warped version of Dr. Octaviuss old lab and express how his life had collapsed and grown more monstrous, evoking Fritz Langs work and the film Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari.. The set was 60*120 feet long and 40 feet high, and took 15 weeks to build. A quarter-scale miniature was built for its collapse.
c.		This was a personal project for McQueen, as he made it to prove too many people that he could act. But Warner Bros. could not figure out how to distribute it and decided not to release it domestically. It had a very brief theatrical release in New York a few years after it was made.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Maximum Overdrive (1986)?
a.		According to screenwriter Hildegarde Stadie, the main character of Burma Roberts was inspired by a real woman, Burma White, about whom little is know.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Maximum Overdrive (1986)?
a.		The "Dixie Boy" truck stop was a set constructed 10 miles outside of Wilmington, North Carolina. It was convincing enough that several truckers tried to stop in, and eventually the producers had to put announcements in local papers saying that the "Dixie Boy" was just a movie set.
b.		Among the buildings shown in the opening sequence (where voice-over narration describes the "terraforming" process) are the Emirates Towers, key features of the skyline of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. A skyscraper in the foreground of the same shot is based on designs by Sir Norman Foster (Lord Foster), including the Commerzbank headquarters in Frankfurt and the HSBC building in Hong Kong.
c.		Much of the film is based off a real-life confrontation between Chicago cop Chuck Adamson and the REAL Neil McCauley. Adamson was a retired police officer whom director Michael Mann had been working with off and on since the film Thief starring James Caan (and based upon the career of famed Chicago burglar Frank Hohimer whom Adamson had arrested). They had later worked together on two shows produced by Mann, "Miami Vice" and "Crime Story". According to Chuck Adamson (and confirmed by Michael Mann) in the Heat-Special Edition DVD Documentary "Crime Stories", McCauley was a professional robber whom he had frequently crossed paths with. Events such as the scene between Vincent Hanna and Neil McCauley in the coffee shop where they basically tell each other that the last time they meet will be their last, and the warehouse sting where McCauley got tipped off that the cops were around due to an officer making a noise really happened. In real life, the real Neil McCauley was killed during a robbery of a grocery store (similar to the bank heist shootout) by Adamsons team who were tipped off to the robbery.
d.		When the principal character enters the sanitarium the words "Get them off me" can be heard coming from one of the cells. This is a reference to a lunatic (also imprisoned in an asylum) in Hellbound: Hellraiser II, who carves himself up with a straight-razor because he suffers from a delusion that he is covered with bugs.

10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Maximum Overdrive (1986)?
a.		Body count: 33
b.		Randy Kovitz: Biker (wearing blue beret)
c.		If you listen closely you can hear the ice cream trucks tune is "King of the Road".
d.		John Ford directed the climactic battle scenes at the end of the movie, according to a special feature on the 2005 DVD release. Apparently director John Farrow had to leave to start another film commitment and Ford took over. His work was uncredited.
