Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)?
a.
At one portion of the movie, while Dale and Saul are driving, Dale asks "Where should we go?", Saul answers "I dunno, hotel, motel, holiday inn?". These words are part of the 1970s hip-hop song Rappers Delight by

.
b.
Rumors that production shut down because
Jack Nicholson
had hair plugs implanted are false (this can be verified by actually looking at his scalp). The story, as related by production designer
Paul Sylbert
, was that Nicholson and director
Milos Forman
had very different ideas about how the narrative should play out; for example, Forman thought that the ward should be in bedlam when McMurphy showed up and Nicholson posited that his character would have absolutely no effect on the mental patients if they were already riled up, which would have negated the purpose of his character and therefore much of the plot. Nicholson and Forman both refused to give an inch, each believing he was right and the other was wrong. The "two months" that Nicholson was supposed to have disappeared was actually closer to two weeks, and he didnt "disappear". In actuality, Nicholson spearheaded a coup among the other actors and refused to let Forman run rehearsals, running them himself instead. During production, Nicholson and Forman spoke to each other through the cinematographer, but faked a friendly relationship when the media and studio personnel would show up to the set. This is one explanation why Nicholson doesnt appear on any of the DVD special features.

When Marty was in the saloon and gave his name as Clint Eastwood, the bartender serving Marty (played by Matt Clarke) also played the bartender in the
Clint Eastwood
movie
The Outlaw Josey Wales
