Famous trivia from Hollywood movie : Shrek 2 (2004)

This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Shrek 2 (2004).

About the movie: Princess Fiona's parents invite her and Shrek to dinner to celebrate her marriage. If only they knew the newlyweds were both ogres.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Shrek 2 (2004)?
a.		This film was originally shot in the summer of 1977. However, the original version was deemed so bad that it was considered unreleasable. So director Denny Harris got the screenwriters Jim Wheat and Ken Wheat to radically revise the script. The actors and actresses who played the college students in the picture were brought back for reshoots in 1978. Yvonne De Carlo, Barbara Steele, Cameron Mitchell, and Avery Schreiber were all also cast for the reshoots. Only 15% of the footage from the original version was retained in the final finished film.
b.		Stephen Sondheim got his start in films working as a clapper boy on this film.
c.		This was the first sequel ever nominated for an Oscar as Best Animated Feature.
d.		The roles of Russell Hammond and Penny Lane were originally set to go to Brad Pitt and Sarah Polley. Polley dropped out to work on her own project, a low-budget Canadian movie The Law of Enclosures, and Pitt, for whom writer/director Cameron Crowe had written the part of the "guitarist with mystique", worked with Crowe for months before finally admitting, according to Crowe, "I just dont get it enough to do it." Kate Hudson, who took over the role of Penny Lane, had been originally cast as Williams sister.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Shrek 2 (2004)?
a.		Hugh Quarshie was originally slated to reprise his role as Capt. Panaka from Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. However, he turned down the offer after Lucasfilm refused to let him read the whole script, so his character was written out and replaced with a newly created chief of Security Captain Typho, portrayed by Jay Lagaaia.
b.		Penelopes quote, "A picture is a secret about a secret. The more it tells, the less you know" is actually a quote by acclaimed American photographer Diane Arbus (1923-1971). The biographical film Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus, featured Nicole Kidman as Arbus, one of the 20th centurys most revered photographers. Incidentally, "arbus" is Russian for "water melon", which might explain why one gets turned into a camera by the Penelope character.
c.		The Fairy Godmother says, "What in Grimms name..." - a reference to the Brothers Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm who published collections of fairy tales including the ones used in the movie.
d.		The first film scored by Jerry Goldsmith.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Shrek 2 (2004)?
a.		The Red Sox games heard on the radio are from 8 July 2000 and 9 July 2000.
b.		In the original film (and book), Eli (who Abby is based upon) is actually a male who was castrated during a vampire cult early in life. Matt Reeves decided to drop this story line out of the American remake to make it more accessible to a public American audience by making Abby a female. Hence there is more to the meaning of Abbys words when she tells Owen "I am not a girl" and similar words.
c.		The statue of the twirling Las Vegas showgirl outside of Chateau Marmont hotel where Myra Breckinridge stayed (and was the model for Raquel Welchs publicity shots) was pulled out of storage for the movie; the actual statue during its heyday can be seen in the early Sixties films The Stripper and The Savage Eye.
d.		Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, Oscar nominees for writing the screenplay to the first "Shrek", opted out of returning for the sequel as they felt that the basis for the storyline needed to be a traditional fairytale and disagreed with the producers choice to follow a different plot line.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Shrek 2 (2004)?
a.		Snow storms constantly threatened the production, but always arrived at the location just after the production wrapped for the day, sometimes within minutes.
b.		Robert De Niro lobbied for the role of Vincent Mancini. Director Francis Ford Coppola considered it, which would have included aging Al Pacinos Michael Corleone even more, but eventually decided against the idea.
c.		The potion the fairy godmother gives to the King to make Fiona fall in love with the first man she kisses is labeled "IX", making the bottle "Love Potion Number 9".
d.		When Richard Geres son Homer was being born, the actor took advantage of being in a labor ward to go see some other births, all in the name of research.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Shrek 2 (2004)?
a.		Overture Films paid a little over $12 million US dollars for the American distribution rights, beating out Warner Bros. Pictures and Universal Pictures, who also put in bids of over $10 million.
b.		Sam Warner, the Warner Brother, that was nicknamed the "Father of the Talkies", because he insisted that Al Jolsons ad-libbed speech be included in the movie, died on Wednesday, October 5th, 1927, just one day before the film debuted, to the remaining cast and crew, on Thursday, October 6th, 1927.
c.		Director Hamilton MacFadden was replaced by Lewis Seiler after only one weeks shooting, and cinematographer Daniel B. Clark was replaced by Ernest Palmer.
d.		The Wolf is found reading a magazine named Pork Illustrated with the front page featuring an image of a posed pig in a bikini. This is a spoof of the swimsuit issue of the magazine Sports Illustrated. In the trailers, however, the magazine is "The New Porker".

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Shrek 2 (2004)?
a.		The death of Unicron (or as he was then called, "Ingestor") would have been much different, according to the early draft. Since the Matrix was absent from that version, Ingestor essentially caused his own demise by inflicting great damage upon himself.
b.		On the premiere day of "Shrek 2" in Italy, the distribution agency completely purchased the commercial space of the top seller sports newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport". The trademark of "Gazzetta" is that it has been printed on pink paper for more than a century - and for the occasion the issue was released in green paper. Half of the cost of the operation (about 120,000 euros) was given to charity.
c.		The document that McCallister needs to fill out at the bank once he exchanges the bonds is called a "CRM-114 form". "CRM-114" is commonly used by _Stanley Kubrick_ in his films, most notably as the device aboard the bomber in Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
d.		The ending of movie suggests that there is a possible way to revive Data, but Brent Spiner objected, saying that due to his age he could not portray Datas "childlike innocence" any longer.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Shrek 2 (2004)?
a.		While Larry King lent his voice to episodes of The Simpsons, this was the first time that he voiced a character other than himself in an animated movie or television series.
b.		Michael Caine said in a TV interview that the only reason he did this film was to earn enough to put a down payment on a new garage he was having built.
c.		Film debut of Beulah Bondi.
d.		The Hulks origin in this film is a combination of the Marvel Ultimates comics (experimenting on Captain Americas super-soldier serum) and The Incredible Hulk (over-exposure to gamma radiation in an experiment). Even the equipment seen is a close match to that used in the TV series, right down to the light sliding over Banners face.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Shrek 2 (2004)?
a.		When Shrek, Fiona and Donkey first enter Far Far Away, the camera pans over a distinctive Far Far Away sign at street level (as opposed to the huge one in the hills that resembles the "Hollywood" sign). The street-level sign is an obvious parody of the official "Beverly Hills" sign that welcomes visitors as they enter the city via certain boulevards. The sign is also used as the official city logo.
b.		When placing ads in "The New Zealand Herald" for extras, the first call was put out for people under five feet and over six feet four. Calls for extras were made in New Zealands main cities of Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch over a period of two weeks. Later calls were for moderately tall males and females.
c.		The video camera that Yen uses while in the hotel room is a Canon XL1S. For director Steven Soderberghs low-budget/star-studded indie film Full Frontal, he used the same camcorder to shoot the film and keep the budget low.
d.		Filming stopped when the "007" soundstage burned to the ground. The remainder of the film was shot on hastily constructed sets.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Shrek 2 (2004)?
a.		The fairy godmother Dama Fortuna was originally created for the first Shrek but was cut out and now featured in this sequel.
b.		Demi Moore came up with rolling the jar down the stairs, opposed to throwing it as scripted.
c.		Greg Kinnears feature film debut.
d.		It is never revealed what subject the Teacher is actually teaching. During some scenes she appears to be writing history notes, while other times literature notes, and still other times French notes. Nicholas Zebrun and Jessy Wise made a conscience effort to keep the Teachers subject ambiguous so as to focus more on the character and what she represents to Todd.

10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Shrek 2 (2004)?
a.		At the very end of the movie, when the U.S.S. Stingray is tied up to the pier and the crew is marching off, a white-hulled vessel is visible in the background. This vessel is a 95 foot retired Cape-class U.S. Coast Guard Cutter (U.S.C.G.C. Cape Romain), which was at the time operated by Sea Scout Ship 17 (youth program similar to Boy Scouts), based out of San Mateo, CA. The ship was requested to be on-location at a pier in San Francisco (most of the harbor footage was shot in the Bay Area; the mothball fleet depicted early in the movie really exists and is near Benicia, CA) to make it appear more like a military base. The Cape Romain is currently operated by Sea Scout Ship 51 (S.S.S. Intrepid), based out of Palo Alto, CA.
b.		The boxcar scene where Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro) and John Mardukas (Charles Grodin) discuss whether or not they could ever be friends, was almost entirely improvised on set. As regards Grodins famous "Have you ever had sex with a chicken?" line, he was told by director Martin Brest to come up with something that was guaranteed to make even Robert De Niro laugh.
c.		Rachel Griffiths plays Ermine Jung (Georges mother). The actress is five years younger than Johnny Depp (George).
d.		The entrance to Far Far Away closely resembles the entrance to the Paramount Studios lot.
