c.		In an early draft (third rewrite) of the script, there is no mention of Saras fascination with Thor. What is included instead is a funny scene at Soldier Field with The Chicago Bears Players stars Jim McMahon, Walter Payton, William Perry (William "The Refrigerator" Perry) and Mike Singletary. The boys invite the team members to come to the Anderson House to watch The Mummys Curse and when they finally leave, Daryl smuggles out several of the teams jockstraps as souvenirs. The jockstraps later are used to make up the shortage of cash needed to get the station wagon out of (Miss) Dawsons garage.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Nickelodeon (1976)?
a.		German actor Wolfgang Preiss plays Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in this North African World War II movie. Preiss was famous for playing Nazis in Second World War films.

This movie though was the only time Preiss played Rommel.
b.		Ryan ONeals son Griffin ONeal appears as the boy delivering film to the nickelodeon theater.
c.		Sean Connery once said of his role in this film: "I took the part of Khalil in The Next Man based on reasoning that I always use. I thought him to be an interesting character. He is a contemporary man in every sense of the word: sportsman, diplomat, lover, intellectual . . . a complete man of our times."
d.		The movie was Foxs top-grossing picture of 1948.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Nickelodeon (1976)?
a.		Frank Sinatra broke one of his fingers when he hit the table, which was real and not a break-away prop, in the fight sequence with Henry Silva. Due to ongoing filming commitments, he could not rest or bandage his hand properly, causing the injury to heal incorrectly. It caused him chronic discomfort for the rest of his life.
b.		The ending with Joel McCrea delivering a propaganda broadcast as bombs fall on London was written (by Ben Hecht) and shot after the rest of the film was completed. It replaced a more sardonic ending in which Folliott (George Sanders) tells Haverstock (McCrea) how the Germans will likely cover up the incidents depicted in the main part of the film.
c.		Throughout his career Burt Reynolds has made a number of movies that examine movie-making and this film is one of them. The pictures include Fade-In (location filming & westerns); Silent Movie and Nickelodeon (silent films); Best Friends (scriptwriting & Hollywood); Hooper (stuntwork and Hollywood); The Player (Hollywood); Boogie Nights (adult films); The Last Producer (producers and Hollywood); The Hollywood Sign and A Bunch of Amateurs (actors and Hollywood).
d.		Many of the cars in the film have a "B" sticker in the lower-right corner of their windshields. This is a reflection of the wartime rationing of gasoline. Gas was rationed primarily to save rubber, because Japan had occupied Indochina, Malaysia, and Indonesia. (There was a shortage of gas on the East Coast until a pipeline from Texas was constructed to replace the transport of crude oil by sea.) The B sticker was the second lowest category, entitling the holder to only 8 gallons of gas a week. Marlowe seems to use more than one weeks allotment during a 72-hour period, which may be intended to reflect a black market in ration books. However, since Marlowe still has a deputy badge, at least in a deleted scene which existed in the 1945 version, he would be entitled to an X sticker (unlimited gas) as a peace officer. Perhaps the B sticker on the windshield was camouflage, since an X sticker would make the car extremely noteworthy. Marlowe also refers to "three red points," and speaks of a dead body as "cold meat" which refers to the red tokens used to acquire a familys allotment of meat during WWII.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Nickelodeon (1976)?
a.		The projectors showing "Birth of a Nation" toward the end of the film are Powers model 6B. The projectors are correct for the period but the arc lamps being used are not. They are Strong Electric low intensity reflector lamps and would not be manufactured for another decade. The correct lamp would have been an older rectangular shaped condenser arc.
b.		Cecil B. DeMille considered Marlene Dietrich and Hedy Lamarr for the lead but ultimately settled on Betty Hutton when the actress sent him an enormous thousand dollar floral piece featuring a replica of herself swinging fro a trapeze. DeMille accepted her on the condition she slim down her hips.
c.		Real skaters making cameos include, Sasha Cohen, Scott Hamilton, Peggy Fleming, Brian Boitano, Dorothy Hamill, Nancy Kerrigan, Kyoko Ina, Yuka Sato, Jamie Salé, and David Pelletier.
d.		The drive-in theatre in the end of the movie is Bengies Drive In which is still in service and has been threatened to be shut down for almost 10 years but still keeps its business
