This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Sin City (2005).

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Sin City (2005)?
a.		The shots of the foundry where Joe works were taken in Avildsen Metals, the family business of director John G. Avildsen.
b.		Based on the graphic novels "Sin City" (the first graphic novel was just called "Sin City;" this story has been renamed "The Hard Good-Bye" by Miller), "The Big Fat Kill" and "That Yellow Bastard", by Frank Miller. The opening footage with Josh Hartnett and Marley Shelton is from the Sin City short story "The Customer is Always Right" from the "Babe Wore Red" collection. However, the epilogue featuring Hartnett and Alexis Bledel is an original scene written specifically for the movie.
c.		Shot in just three days for less than $1,500. The shoot consisted of six locations between two cities, totaling 248 shots, requiring more than 100 set-ups. The film was virtually shot at break-neck speed.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Sin City (2005)?
a.		Kevin Smith has said on speaking tours that the reason he cast himself in the movie was that if the movie failed and he was in near-permanent debt for the rest of his life, he could at least point at his face in the movie as proof he did it.
b.		Directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller planned each shot in the movie by using the panels from the original book as storyboard.
c.		Miriam Hopkins turned down the role of Joan Madison.
d.		The coin trick that Henry Winkler does in the movie is something he does in real life. During public appearances, he will often do the trick for children.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Sin City (2005)?
a.		As each sequence of this film was shot separately, new cast members were added and incorporated in the stories throughout the production. In many cases separate footage was composited in post-production to look as if it were all shot the same day. For example: Marv (Mickey Rourke) takes Wendy (Jaime King) to Nancys (Jessica Alba) home. Alba had not been cast yet when Rourke and King shot the scene; her footage was added in later. The same is true of the scenes between Marv and Cardinal Roark (Rutger Hauer) and Kevin (Elijah Wood), as Hauer and Wood were cast after Rourke had shot his scenes.
b.		The snake scale seen under the electron microscope was actually a marijuana bud.
c.		The White House which exploded was built at 1/12 scale, just to be blown up. Nine cameras filmed the explosion at various speeds, one of which was 12 times faster than normal, then played back at normal speed to make the explosion seem larger on film.
d.		Inside the Actors Studio host James Lipton considers the "I could of been a contender" scene to be one of the greatest moments ever put on film and refers in particular to the moment when Charlie (Rod Steiger) pulls the gun out on on Terry (Marlon Brando) who, instead of getting angry and defensive, slowly pushes the gun away greatly hurt by his brothers actions

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Sin City (2005)?
a.		The cover of the Sin City book "Booze, Broads, and Bullets", can be seen periodically throughout the movie.

b.		The "airport" where Izzy Buttons moors his dirigible was intended to be the abandoned Royal Air Force airfield that saw Winston Havelock from the first film fly his biplane to fight the mummy.
c.		When Obi-Wan is in the Jedi library, he is staring at a bronze bust, then the librarian speaks and he is startled. This is not surprising, because the bust is of his old master, Qui-Gon Jinn.

a.		The original script, written before the terrorist attacks on the USA of 11 September 2001, set the events in New York.
b.		Both Nancy (Jessica Alba) and Wendy (Jaime King) drive cars with the license plates "LEV 311". Frank Miller often puts this in his various stories for "favourite girl" character in that story. The number is a nod to his wife and frequent collaborator Lynn Varley, whose birthday is March 11th.
c.		The last day of principal photography started on December 31st, 2002. The crew worked until just before midnight then took thirty minutes off to celebrate the new year.

Production resumed thirty minutes later and the shoot wrapped the morning of January 1st, 2003.

Its the only film Ive made where I didnt have, I didnt technically have final cut on The Elephant Man but Mel Brooks gave it to me, and on Dune the film, I started selling out even in the script phase knowing I didnt have final cut, and I sold out, so it was a slow dying- the-death and a terrible terrible experience. I dont know how it happened, I trusted that it would work out but it was very naive and, the wrong move. In those days the maximum length they figured I could have is two hours and seventeen minutes, and thats what the film is, so they wouldnt lose a screening a day, so once again its money talking and not for the film at all and so it was like compacted and it hurt it, it hurt it. There is no other version. Theres more stuff, but even that is putrefied."
c.		With the exception of "The Customer is Always Right," at some point during each segment the narrator says the name of the story as part of the dialog.
