1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Red Sonja (1985)?
a.		After Roger Avary backed out of the project his script was rewritten many times. The final screenplay was so dramatically different from the original material that Avary opted to remove his name from the film.
b.		It is commonly believed that Robert E. Howard created the character of Red Sonja in one of his Conan short stories. In reality, he created a character with a similar name (Red Sonya) that appeared in a minor role in a non-fantasy work of historical fiction. "Red Sonja", the character popularized by the 1985 movie, actually first appeared in a Conan comic book written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Barry Windsor-Smith.
c.		According to Robert Evans in his memoirs Warren Beatty was approached to play Gatsby but wanted to direct the film and suggested Evans play the role himself. Jack Nicholson was offered but rejected the role because he didnt believe Ali MacGraw to be appropriate casting for Daisy (she was later replaced with Mia Farrow) and Steve McQueen was also considered and rejected for the role.
d.		Bruce Willis, who appears as himself in the film, was originally signed to play Danny Ocean in Oceans Eleven, but pulled out due to scheduling conflicts.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Red Sonja (1985)?
a.		Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally to have reprised the role of Conan in this film, as the Red Sonja character was a spinoff of the original Conan novels. Ultimately, a new character was created who was essentially Conan in everything but name.
b.		This film is listed among The 100 Most Enjoyably Bad Movies Ever Made in Golden Raspberry Award founder John Wilsons book THE OFFICIAL RAZZIE® MOVIE GUIDE.
c.		Emma Raimi: The girl who sells her camera to J. Jonah Jameson for $100 is Sam Raimis daughter.
d.		When the adult Chrissy is scanning the front cover of "People" with Teeny on the cover, the smaller headline at the top reads, "Linda Richmond tells all in new autobiography!" with a picture of Mike Myers dressed as his famous Saturday Night Live character.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Red Sonja (1985)?
a.		There are over 300 special effects shots in the film.
b.		The name of Ronald Laceys character, "Ikol," spelled backwards is "Loki." Loki, in Nordic mythology, was the God of Evil and Corruption, infamous for being a jealousy-prone troublemaker, and plays a pivotal role in the End of the World.
c.		This film is the only one to star a U.S. President, a U.S. Senator, a state governor and two Presidents of the Screen Actors Guild. Ronald Reagan was President of the U.S. from 1981-1989, Governor of California from 1967-1975 and President of SAG from 1947-1952 and 1959-1960; George Murphy was Senator from California 1965-1971 and President of SAG 1944-1946. They filmed the movie prior to having been elected to any of the offices mentioned.
d.		The "forward tracking, zoom out" shot used when Brody realizes Alex Kintner has been eaten has been called "the Jaws shot" by some video teachers who instruct students on using this move. However, this shot is merely a reverse of the "forward zoom and reverse tracking" shot invented by Irmin Roberts for the disorienting height shots in Vertigo. A similar shot appears to have been used for the dream sequences in Truffauts Fahrenheit 451, in which Montag runs down an apparently endless corridor, passing doors on both sides but seems to never get closer to the end.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Red Sonja (1985)?
a.		In December, 2002, while the film was still in development, the hard drives holding the animation were stolen. The filmmakers had to start over.
b.		Last cinema film of Tutte Lemkow.
c.		Michael Connellys 1999 novel "Angels Flight" referenced the movie years in advance, billing it as a nonfiction docudrama within its universe.
d.		Woody Allen based Harrys trip on Ingmar Bergmans Smultronstället (also known as "Wild Strawberries"). Bergman is said to be Allens favorite director.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Red Sonja (1985)?
a.		The fourth of forty-eight Bowery Boys movies.
b.		Other directors that Warner had approached included Arthur Penn (who was teaching at Yale), Peter Bogdanovich (who wanted to pursue other projects, subsequently regretting the decision) and Mike Nichols (who didnt want to shoot a film so dependent on a childs performance). The studio actually hired Mark Rydell but William Peter Blatty insisted on William Friedkin.
c.		Producer David Giler was initially opposed to the making of a fourth film.
d.		The original theatrical trailer of this movie contains cutting room-floor footage of scenes glimpsed only briefly in the films prologue: Sonja, left to perish in her burning home, is saved by her dying brother Barlok; Gedren, prior to her disfigurement, addresses her soldiers and slaves.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Red Sonja (1985)?
a.		Arnold Schwarzenegger himself eschews this movie as one of his worst, yet he (laughingly) claims that its an excellent disciplinary tool for his children: "I tell them, if they get on my bad side, theyll be forced to watch Red Sonja ten times in a row. Consequently, none of my kids has ever given me much trouble."
b.		In the German version the names and backgrounds of the German-born terrorists were changed into English forms (mostly into their British equivalents): Hans Gruber became Jack Gruber, Karl became Charlie, Heinrich turned into Henry etc... the new background depicted them as radical Irish activists having gone freelance and for profit rather than ideals. (This led to some odd plot holes in this movie and continuity problems with Die Hard: With a Vengeance where Gruber is remembered as having been German.) This was because German terrorism, especially by the Rote Armee Fraktion (the Red Army Faction), was still considered a sensitive issue by the German government in the 1980s.
c.		When Paramount previewed the film in 1933, the original running time was 90 min. However, by the time it was shown to the press, the running time was cut to 77 minutes (many reviews, including the savage one it received in Variety, made a point of how long it seemed at an hour-and-a-quarter). Although it is often reported that Universal Studios cut it to 77 minutes when they bought the television rights in the late 1950s, the film went on general release in 1933 at the shorter length. The film is now legally available on DVD.
d.		The first stained glass window seen in the prologue has the Latin phrase vincit qui se vincit, which means, in a subtle prefiguring of the arc of the whole story, He conquers, who conquers himself.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Red Sonja (1985)?
a.		Maria Shriver said in a TV interview that at the premiere of Red Sonja she remarked to her husband, "If this doesnt kill your career, nothing will".
b.		Paul Matthews, the original voice of Mighty One-Eye, was a delivery person that Richard Williams overheard in an elevator on the way to a rehearsal space. He hired him for his deep, dark voice despite no prior acting experience.
c.		After the explosion of the cargo ship we see (or hear, actually) Tavington smashes his glass when placing it down. He really just places it down, but it was decided to add a smashing sound for comic effect. We never actually see the glass breaking.
d.		"The Virginian" opened at the Manhattan Theater in New York on 5 January 1904 and closed in May 1904 after 138 performances. Dustin Farnum originated his movie role in the play, which was written by Kirk La Shelle and Owen Wister, from a story by Wister.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Red Sonja (1985)?
a.		Cameron Crowe had written the role of Drew Baylor with Orlando Bloom in mind. When Crowe originally offered Bloom the part, Bloom was unable to take it due to scheduling conflicts with Kingdom of Heaven. Crowe then cast Ashton Kutcher in the part but later felt that Kutcher and co-star Kirsten Dunst had no chemistry and decided to let him go. Crowe then pushed his January 2004 start shoot date back to July 2004 for a summer shoot. Many young actors that included Seann William Scott, James Franco, Colin Hanks and Chris Evans auditioned for the part of Drew. Scott was seriously considered and nearly nabbed the part but Crowe pushed to get Bloom instead. When Bloom was able to work the film into his schedule, Crowe cast him in the part.
b.		Sandahl Bergman was initially cast as the title character, but decided on portraying "Queen Gedren" instead, to help avoid typecasting.
c.		The quote from Lincoln under his photograph in the YMCA room is from his Cooper Union Address: "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it" (February 27, 1860).
d.		Marsha Dietlein played the character "Claire," but her scenes were deleted from the released print.
