d.		Please note -- also a spoiler for Terminator 2: Judgment Day) Two deleted scenes gave Skynet and the Future War some more background. The first was a scene where Sarah discovers that a company called Cyberdyne will be responsible for building Skynet and the Terminators. She tries to convince Reese that they should destroy this company, in order to prevent the dark future from ever happening. Reese tells her that his mission is conserving the future, not changing it. The second scene shows that Cyberdyne owns the factory where Sarah battled the Terminator, and one of their employees finding the Terminators microchip (this event actually causes Skynet to exist in the first place). Both these ideas became major plot points for the sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Director James Cameron cut the scenes because he wanted to leave some questions yet unanswered, which he never regretted as he could make an entire sequel out of the unused ideas.

He suffered numerous broken bones and ribs, but the scene was left in.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964)?
a.		Stallones original cut of the film ran near 2 1/2 hours. This cut of the film played to sneak preview audiences on May 15th, 2006. This was before MGM demanded Stallone cut the film down to an hour and forty-five minutes (the release print eventually ran an hour and forty-two minutes). Scenes cut out that are not included on the DVD release include: After talking with his son, Rocky follows a woman up an escalator, thinking shes Adrian. When he gets to her, he discovers she, of course, isnt. There were many more visits to Adrians grave in the original cut. Rockys brain damage being shown to have not been brain damage at all was trimmed from the license scene. Two training sequences: one of Rocky doing weight training as well as Mason Dixon doing his training to the tune of Survivors "Fire Makes Steel" and afterward was a Rocky-only training sequence scored with "Gonna Fly Now". These two sequences were squished together for the final print. Before the fight, Marie and Rocky share a hug. Rocky says hi to Mike Tyson before the fight. The film was also shot with four endings so as not to spoil the end to the watching crowd. They are 1.) Rocky loses the fight by decision. 2.) Rocky loses the fight by K.O. 3.) Rocky wins the fight by decision. 4.) Rocky wins the fight by K.O.
b.		The two lesser known Rat Packers, Joey Bishop and Peter Lawford, dont appear in this film. They are "replaced" essentially by Bing Crosby and Peter Falk.

Director Michel Gondrys short film Interior Design, set in Japan (featured as a segment in the film Tôkyô!), is adapted from Bells comic.
d.		Both Ray Liotta and Jason Patric participated in the film for nearly no money. In fact, at one point during production the cast and crews paychecks werent coming through due to legal and budgetary issues, so Liotta and Patric worked for free because they liked writer/director Joe Carnahan and didnt want to see his career ruined by the shutting down of his movie.

To prevent spoiling the plot, the books released before the movie did not feature the revelation that The Blank was really Breathless Mahoney. The novels released after the film featured this reveal. Also, Collins wrote a direct sequel to the movie called "Dick Tracy Goes To War". In the novel, Nazi spies (including Prunefaces widow) take over Big Boys Club Ritz and use it as a base for sabotage operations. Dick Tracy, now working for Military Intelligence, battles the spies who are also using mobsters like BB Eyes, Shakey (Breathlesss dad in the comics), and The Mole as muscle.
