A couple of days later he received a phone call from a friend living in New York, telling him how sorry he was that he missed the festival screening, but that he was able to catch the screening in Queens. The producers of the film had no screening in Queens. Obviously someone had a bootleg copy of the film and held their own screening. Rawles friend said the film was a hit, so it was chalked up to free publicity.
b.		The split sculpture was an invention of Jim Henson and Debbie the Roboteer for Labyrinth. It looks simply like a series of rocks until the camera pans to the correct angle, then it resembles Jareths face.

c.		The song that plays over Mr. Gray and Lee at the end of the movie is "Chariots Rise" by Lizzie West. The original lyric is "What a fool am I, to fall so in love," but the director did not want to imply that Lee was being foolish, and asked if it could be altered. Because she wanted the song to be in the movie, Lizzie West re-recorded the line as "What grace have I, to fall so in love."

If you look closely, you can see the string bobbing a little, as Rawles arm is getting tired of holding it.
c.		Several concepts, such as the idea of shooting demons in the eyes to send them back to Hell, was later used by writers Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris, for their television series Brimstone.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Poet Heads (2007)?

The cast and crew were in an alley outside the coffee shop deciding how to re-work the scene because there was no time to get a paper. Keep in mind, the original line from Dead Serious was actually, "every 32 seconds in LA somebody is shot by a gang banger." The wind starts to blow, and a local newspaper blows up against Will Kanes (Dead Serious) leg. He picks it up and in bold letters it reads, young boy shot by gang banger. While it was sad for the boy who was shot, it brought a chill to the group.
