1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Running Scared (1986)?
a.		The Chinese straw hat that Katharine Houghton wears in one scene was worn as a homage to Houghtons aunt, the great Katharine Hepburn. Hepburn wore a similar hat in the film Dragon Seed.
b.		Released in the US in mid-summer 1966, this film was frequently double-billed with the similarly-themed The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.
c.		The Pan American seaplane that Indiana Jones flies to Nepal in is a Short Solent Mark III flying boat modified by matte effects to resemble a Boeing 314 Clipper. The producers contacted the owner of the craft about using the flying boat for the movie and though he responded that he was happy to help out, he informed them that only one of the flying boats engines had been restored to working order, therefore, for the shot used in the movie, we see only that single engine running. Additionally, in order to convey the fact that it was a passenger aircraft, the director had several production assistants dressed in period clothing and filmed them simply walking through the doorway of the plane.
d.		A plot device is borrowed from The Black Windmill. In one film Michael Caines son is kidnapped and to get the ransom (uncut diamonds) he impersonates his boss (Donald Pleasence) on the phone and gives himself permission to take the diamonds from work (MI5). In the other Billy Crystals ex-wife is kidnapped and he impersonates his boss (Dan Hedeya) on the telephone to give himself permission to take the ransom (cocaine held as evidence) from work (Chicago police department).

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Running Scared (1986)?
a.		Roger Moore had some cosmetic surgery before filming began.
b.		In the opening of the film, when Hermione is called down to tea, we can hear her parents talking about Australia along with an announcer, presumably on the TV, taking about a country-side. This is a reference to the book, in which Hermione says she not only wiped herself from her parents memories, but gave them new identities and made them think that theyd love nothing more than to move to Australia, which we presume that they do.
c.		On the television series, "The Directors", Peter Hyams stated that when MGM offered him the project following the success of 2010, the script focused on two old New York City cops who want to retire. Hyams suggested his idea of two young Chicago cops who dont retire and MGM agreed.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Running Scared (1986)?

b.		For the 30th anniversary re-release in 1994, the film was painstakingly restored by Robert A. Harris and James C. Katz - the same team that restored Lawrence of Arabia, Spartacus and Vertigo. The restoration was called for because Warner Brothers only owned the rights to their film for a certain period of time before the rights reverted to CBS. Who discarded most of the basic materials. The digital restoration of the film - saving it from extinction - took 6 months and cost $600,000.

d.		The original premise of Ghost Busters had three main characters: John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. They fought ghosts in S.W.A.T. like suits using wands instead of guns. The ghost named Slimer was known as Onionhead, and at the end of the movie the Ghostbusters franchise was all over the United States. John Candy also was slated to play Louis. However, with Belushis death and characters backing out, the script was rewritten and new actors cast.

b.		A spin-off music video was produced for Michael McDonalds hit single Sweet Freedom, which was a major part of the films soundtrack. In the video, Ray and Danny are in their squad car looking at a postcard from McDonald in Florida which says Wish You Were Here (implying that was the inspiration for them choosing that as their holiday destination). We then see a montage of action scenes from the film over the songs intro, followed by Michael McDonald singing the song at his keyboard in a Florida bar. At the songs climax, Ray and Danny join up with him and have some beers, and then dance along to and join in the songs backing vocals as it draws to a close.
