3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Nowhere, PA (2008)?
a.
The "Dantes Inferno" ride was in such disrepair, the two scenes in it had to be filmed in the very front. Extensive water damage made most of it unusable, and three members of the crew, including actor Sean Egan, fell through rotten planks during filming.
b.
Despite popular beliefs,
Gore Vidal
and
Tinto Brass
did not disown this film because
Bob Guccione
inserted hardcore sex and graphic violence sequences and changed the point of the film. In reality, only five or six minutes of the 156-minute version of the film was part of Gucciones reshoot - that five or six minutes consists of the lesbian tryst in the secret room, and several inserts in the imperial bordello scene. Everything else was shot by Brass. Vidal disowned the film because Brass and lead actor
Malcolm McDowell
changed the point of view of his screenplay. Brass disowned it because Guccione locked him out of the editing room (some in the industry suspect it was because Brass didnt want to use Gucciones hardcore inserts) after assembling the first 40 minutes (which was probably disassembled shortly afterward). Guccione then proceeded to edit the film himself, but he often chose shots that were never meant to be included (the many zooms, out-of-focus shots, etc.), and also cut up certain scenes and put them in the wrong order. A prime example of this is Caligulas nightmare scene with Drusilla, which now occurs in a part of the film that would have been quite impossible dramatically, and is actually the first half of an earlier scene, which occurs just after the credits (together, the two scenes were meant to be the opening of the film, and the current opening in which Caligula and Drusilla enjoy a romp through a forest was intended for an entirely different purpose altogether, and was meant to occur much later).
c.
The movie that Lance is watching when Vincent arrives with overdosed Mia is the Three Stooges short,
Brideless Groom
. Tarantino is an avid Three Stooges fan, but couldnt get the rights from Comedy III to show them in the movie. So while a Three Stooges film appears on screen ("Brideless Groom" is public domain), the Three Stooges themselves do not.
Emil Sitka
, the frequent Three Stooges co-star who does appear on screen, is credited as "Hold hands you lovebirds".
d.
Paramount Pictures still had costumes from
Cecil B. DeMille
s
The Ten Commandments
, and he was offered the chance to use them, along with standing sets, free of charge to keep production costs down.
4.

was originally only cast in the small role of Mr. Howard, the amusement park owner. However, he hung around on set and became a prominent figure in several scenes, creating the character of Jeff.
b.
Although the production crew had no permits, the scenes showing the deserted city were filmed in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday mornings when the streets would be vacant.
c.
Although shooting animals and getting out of the vehicle were forbidden in the Nairobi National Park,
Rock Hudson
was allowed out of the Land Rover to aim his gun at a zebra. The actual shooting of a zebra was filmed by the second unit in the Nanyuki area about 100 miles away.
d.
Much has been written about the crew having to contend with rainy weather in Paris during production.
