1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Seven Days in May (1964)?

c.		In the stagecoach chase sequence, stuntman Mic Rodgers (double for Mel Gibson) had to go under the coach and get up at the back. This is a direct nod to Yakima Canutts similar stunt in Stagecoach. Coincidentally, second unit director Terry Leonard , a former stuntman himself, performed this in the truck chase in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
d.		During a briefing between Col. "Jiggs" Casey and Gen. Scott in Scotts Pentagon office, the second shot on the video screen, allegedly of B-47s taxiing at Wright Field during the January alert, is footage from the film Strategic Air Command.

b.		The Charm of Making spoken by Merlin & Morgana is an attempt at Old Irish that translates to: "Serpents breath, charm of death and life, thy omen of making." The phonetic rendering, as spoken in the movie, is: /ana:l nathrakh, u:rth va:s bethud, dokhje:l djenve:/. In Irish, the phrase is: An?il nathrach, ortha bh?is bheatha, do thuar dhéanamh, which is pronounced similarly but not exactly as in the movie.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Seven Days in May (1964)?
a.		In the films original ending, Rachel Phelps admits before the final game that her bitchy persona was all an act in order to fire up the players.

The alternate ending appears on the Wild Thing Edition DVD.

It was adopted by the U.S. Army as its official song in 1956.
c.		In the original novel upon which the film was based, Admiral Farley C. Barnswells flagship is the USS Eisenhower, a good guess on the part of the novelists Fletcher Knebel and Charles W.
