3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Scaramouche (1952)?

c.		The odd, discordant guitar part played throughout the movie, which is used almost note for note nearly 20 years later by an up and coming band, is a testament to the enduring quality of the composers music. The band, Wall of Voodoo, best known for its early 1980s hit "Mexican Radio", uses that strange note progression in its updated remake of the Johnny Cash hit, "Ring of Fire." Their version, however, is a nearly ten-minute-long experiment in what would later be termed as techno music. Its mechanical programmed background rhythm and synth-heavy adaption paved the way for later bands. But its use of the riff from this film performed nearly musically verbatim, that makes their version so intriguing.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Scaramouche (1952)?
a.		Having discovered Moreau (Stewart Granger) taking fencing lessons in his own house, Noel, Marquis de Maynes (Mel Ferrer) challenges him to a duel, during which a large iron chandelier falls towards Granger as he lays on the floor. As originally scripted, the heavy chandelier would halt inches from Grangers face. The director encouraged Granger to do it "first take" and not rehearse the scene or test the safety rope, which was considered sound. Granger balked and said he wanted to see a test first. On the first test, the rope snapped and the iron chandelier crashed through the floor of the set. The scene was reshot with Granger rolling out from under the chandelier as it fell towards him. The sound of the swords clashing didnt sound correct so the sounds were re-recorded using glass cylinders.
b.		Director Ulli Lommel was unsure about casting Klaus Kinski, but he met him and Kinski was very nice, according to Lommel. But when the filming started, Kinski was very hard to work with. He complained about the lights and microphones, so eventually they had only few soft lights and very small microphones in the Kinski scenes, which is the reason why the sound quality changes much in different shots. Kinski also didnt want to sit on a chair when camera crew was about to shoot from different angle, so continuity wasnt possible. Because of that Lommel decided to change Kinskis character to a ghost, which was a brilliant idea in Kinskis opinion. Later he was so happy with the director that he said he doesnt work in the future with anyone else than Lommel, but Lommels answer was simply "Yeah, right".
c.		The sheet of paper Hennessy (Hartley Power) reads the interview questions from is actually a page of the script.
d.		The brand of chicken that the giant teenagers eat is a tie-in to the once-famous restaurant chain called Chicken Delight. The chain was known for home delivery of chicken and ribs, as well as its catchy motto: "Dont cook tonight, call Chicken Delight." A banner for the restaurant chain can be seen on a wall behind the adults who turn in their rifles.

b.		Neil Simon said of his experience working on The Marrying Man: "With a play, I have only two people to please - myself and the director. With this movie, it was 19 executives, a director whod never done anything but animation before, and two stars who would tell you what lines theyd say and what lines they wouldnt say."
c.		During the climactic soccer match, when the commentator says that there is fifteen minutes left in the game, there is exactly fifteen minutes and five seconds left until the end of the end credits.
