2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Operation Pacific (1951)?
a.
Austin filming for the movie occurred in May/June of 2000. Many Austin locations were used in the film such as the Dog and Duck Pub (where Gracie eats ice cream) and the Cue Lounge (featured in the botched mission at the beginning of the film) among others. The Starbucks scene was shot in the middle of downtown Austin, just blocks from the Texas State Capital. To make the Austin streets appear more "New York like", brown plastic bags of fake trash were put around the buildings while fake NYC taxi cabs cruised the streets. Although a stunt driver was used while filming shots where Gracie tears across the intersection and parks wildly in front of the Starbucks,
Sandra Bullock
did some of her own stunt driving in several takes, skills she had learned while making
Speed
. The scenes were filmed on location at the Starbucks located at One American Center on 6th and Congress. The whole Starbucks scene was filmed over an entire day before wrapping around 6-7 p.m. The car scene alone took at least 5-7 takes and most of the afternoon in the hot Texas summer sun. To combat the heat, an assistant held an umbrella over Bullock as she got in and out of the car between shots. The interior scene only took a few hours in the late afternoon, early evening to shoot.
b.

and
Patricia Neal

The problems with submarine torpedoes shown in the movie are accurate. A poorly designed and tested firing pin could malfunction on a good hit (that is, a torpedo striking within about 45 degrees of perpendicular to the side of the target). Poor hits (at a very sharp angle to the side of the ship) could often produce more reliable explosions. Finding the problem, while not performed by the submarine crews as shown, actually did occur in a similar manner.
