The novelization fills in some of the background about Pauls character. His wife left him which is why hes such a hard drinker. The only explanation given is that she couldnt stand the sight of him. He doesnt write or try to contact his daughter, something Laura the camp councilor resented him for. She later changed her mind about Paul after saving (some of) the kids from piranha. Including his daughter. And the main reason Dumont thinks hes drunk over the phone is because during one visit to the camp, Paul drunkenly threw Dumont in the river when he told him to leave.

was at number one in the UK charts for 15 weeks in 1994, and
Richard Curtis

d.
The part where the character Schweitzer mistakes his old friend Schoonover for someone who was "eaten by a shark in Frisco" is a reference to Richard Fariñas Beat Generation novel Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me. In the novel, the main character Gnossos observes an old friend walk up to him after not seeing him for a long time, saying "I thought you were eaten by a shark in San Francisco or somethin." Similar to the film, the character in the novel is returning to his old stomping grounds, much like the Schweitzer character does in the film. The novel Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me is one of the directors favorite novels.
3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Northwest Rangers (1942)?
a.
The film was one of several late 1942 MGM films which were backlogged and may not have been released nationally until 1943, although many press previews and reviews appeared in October 1942.

Popular "sci-fi" author and pulp fiction fan
Philip Jose Farmer
wrote a book entitled "Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life", a biography of "the man of bronze". In it, he theorized that Clark Savage, Sr. (the father of Doc Savage) was James Clarke Wildman, who appeared in the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Priory School". Farmer wrote an unused script for a sequel to "Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze" entitled "Doc Savage: Archenemy of Evil", in which Holmes himself made an appearance, commenting on Savage as the greatest student of deduction he ever had and referencing his encounter with Savages father. It remains unknown whom Farmer wanted for this role.
c.
The skin on Laras upper left arm is rarely seen exposed in this film.
Angelina Jolie
sports a large tattoo on her upper left bicep which requires make-up to cover up. The fact her left arm is rarely bared in this film (her opening scene in a bikini is shot in such a way her RIGHT arm, not her left, dominates) may be due to criticism that the tattoo was sometimes poorly concealed in
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
.
d.
In
Bill L. Norton
s second draft of the screenplay dated January 1977 the trucker stadium funeral takes place at the beginning instead of the end.
