4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Splice (2009)?
a.		It was Director/Star Leonard Nimoy who conceived the distinctive design of the Klingons Bird Of Prey. At a preproduction meeting with Industrial Light And Magic, Nimoy posed his arms and hands to demonstrate the vessels wings as they ultimately would appear in the final film. The DVD documentary, "Space Docks and Birds Of Prey", revealed that the physique of a bodybuilder in the "crab" pose, emphasizing the trapezius muscles, was also the basis for the ships aggressive stance. Finally, the script, at the time when it was received by ILM, established that the Bird Of Prey was definitely a Romulan vessel, commandeered by Kruge. With that back story in mind, the feather-like pattern on the ships underside was a direct tribute the original Bird Of Prey as it first appeared in the 1966 original series episode "Balance of Terror". Though the final version of Star Trek 3 (and subsequent star trek films and TV episodes) refer to the ship as purely of the Klingon fleet, the Romulan plumage-detail was never lost.

Thanks to his experience as a web designer he was able to create an official website for the film ("forcor.com") to spark interest among the Internet community. A year later the director had received $90,000 in investments from complete strangers (including fans of principal star Melanie Lynskey) and a further $60,000 from friends and acquaintances, enabling the film to finally be completed. The makers of The Blair Witch Project later employed a similar technique of using the Internet to market their film.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Splice (2009)?

b.		A Vodka bottle in the lab is labeled to contain a specimen named "BOGIE + BACALL", a reference to classic film couple Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.
c.		A direct translation of the lyrics for the song "Non, je ne regrette rien" as performed by Édith Piaf is: "I regret nothing/no, I have no regrets/I regret neither the good things that were done to me nor the bad things/They are all the same to me/...The past is payed, swept away, forgotten/I dont care of the past anymore/I set my memories on fire/My agonies, and my pleasures/I dont need them any more/Swept away in the agonies of love/Swept away forever, Im restarting with nothing..." Christopher Nolan has made a point of saying that he chose the song specifically for the movie, which is heavily concerned with the effect of memories on the psyche, and specifically the disastrous effect that not letting go of memories of love-gone-wrong can have on the subconscious--exactly what the song discusses. Also of note: in the original French, "I regret neither the good things Ive done nor the bad things" is "Ni le bien quon ma fait ni le mal," and since Cobbs wife is named Mal, that gives the line a double meaning.
d.		This is the first film where the Chinese government has allowed a fight to be shot on the Great Wall.
