a.		Christopher Reeve apparently regretted making this movie. He said that he took the project on only because he was suffering post-divorce depression and believed that he had "made a fool of himself" in the film.
b.		In the climactic dance number, the natives of Kaigoon sing in Esperanto: "Behold, the new moon shines only love. A woman delights a man according to nature. So choose someone now and dance with him. A true heart beats indeed in each of us, ready and able and willing for you. Dont just stand there, come here."
c.		According to the directors commentary, the scene where Shelly breaks Larrys arm had to be re-shot. Director Wayne Kramer said the scene was shot out of focus.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Road to Singapore (1940)?
a.		Before production started, approval was refused by the MPPDA (now the MPAA) under the Production Code (Hays Code), labeling the scenario, still called "A Comedy Of Murders", in their words "unacceptable". They continued, "In his indictment of the system and the social structure, the filmmaker offered a rationale of Verdouxs crimes, in terms of their moral work." Worst of all the board also considered Verdouxs attitude toward god "blasphemous". In a letter of response, scene by scene, Charles Chaplin upheld his screenplay again the charge of subversion, but only giving in on details. For example, when one of Verdouxs wives invites him to "come to bed" the line had to be replaced with "get to bed". Chaplin had no trouble getting around such proscriptions, as he did with Verdouxs morning-after "humming" with briskly engaging music. The production board complied and gave this film a seal of approval.
b.		Paul Sinors first draft of the script concentrated on the issue of inter-gender combat troops, but when North Koreas political situation heated up in the mid 90s, the setting was moved to make the film topically relevant as well as socially intriguing.
c.		During a lunch break, Bob Hope threw a handful of the soap suds at Dorothy Lamour and soon Bing Crosby became involved. The fight ended when Lamour cornered Hope and Crosby and threw all she had at them. The director was not particularly pleased because it would take hours to repair their hair, makeup, and clothing.
d.		Mia Kirshner was originally intended to be feeding lines to potential actors in screen tests. However, her performance so caught the attention of director Brian De Palma and writer Josh Friedman that she was cast as Elizabeth Short and her role expanded significantly compared to the novel.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Road to Singapore (1940)?
a.		Throughout the production, it was felt that there was something helping the production overcome mishaps. An example of this... the scene in the coffee shop where Dead Serious explains to The Reporter that "every 32 seconds, someone dies of a heart attack." The Reporter asks him where he gets that stuff and Dead Serious holds up a newspaper. Well, the scene was about to be shot but no one brought a newspaper. 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.
b.		According to Yun-Fat Chow, he wore contact lenses during his performance as Roshi in preparation for the (at the time announced) sequel, where his appearance would be bald and bespectacled, a more classic appearance of Roshi.
c.		Originally, Bertolt Brecht was denied story credit by the Screen Writers Guild, even though he worked closely with writer John Wexley on the project.
d.		After Fred MacMurray and George Burns (I) turned down the chance to make this film, producer Harlan Thompson offered it to Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, whom hed seen clowning on the Paramount lot and who it seemed to him got along well.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Road to Singapore (1940)?
a.		When shot silent, the film would utilize the entire image area available measuring 1.33:1. When reissued in 1942 with sound the sound strip was overlaid over the left part of the film, and the top and bottom were cropped as well to maintain the 1.37:1 academy ratio resulting in sometimes awkward image composition. This can be seen on the Warner DVD releases of the reissue, while the previous Image entertainment disc was mastered from the full silent aperture negative and does not contain the cropping.
b.		Originally written as "Beach of Dreams" for George Burns (I) and Gracie Allen. Later retitled "Road to Mandalay" for Fred MacMurray and Jack Oakie before receiving its final title and cast.
c.		Mocumentary interviews had to be retaken frequently since the cast and crew was heard snickering and laughing on the soundtrack during takes.
d.		Although the AALTO Air E-474 featured in this movie is a fictional aircraft, it does bear a strong resemblance in overall design to the real-life double-decker Airbus A-380, and its cockpit is very similar to the cockpit of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
