5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Stroker Ace (1983)?

b.		Portmans body and dance double, Sarah Lane, came public shortly before the DVD/Blu-Ray release in March 2011 claiming that the films producers asked her not to conduct interviews until after the awards season so Natalie Portman would receive most of the dancing credibility. A promotional video released about the special effects used in the film was also altered so it didnt include aspects of how Lanes face was digitally replaced with Portmans during complicated dance moves Lane was brought in to perform. Choreographer (and Portmans fiancé) Benjamin Millepied counteracted Lanes comments by stating, "It was so believable, it was fantastic, that beautiful movement quality. There are articles now talking about her dance double Sarah Lane that are making it sound like she did a lot of the work, but really she just did the footwork, the fouettés, and one diagonal phrase in the studio. Honestly, 85% of that movie is Natalie". Director Darren Aronofsky also debunked Lanes claims saying, "Here is the reality. I had my editor count shots. There are 139 dance shots in the film. 111 are Natalie Portman untouched. 28 are her dance double Sarah Lane. If you do the math thats 80% Natalie Portman."
c.		Binnie Barnes threatened to sue Columbia Pictures for forcing her to shed clothing in the film. The pertinent scene was deleted from the released film.
d.		The post-Science Fiction Convention orgy (in which Harlan briefly appears straddled on a chair by two naked women), as well as several other scenes, were shot at Harlan Ellisons home which is recognizable for its funky decor and the voluminous number of books lining its walls. As with most of Harry Novaks films, the trailer largely consists of alternate shots, so if you watch it you can see an even longer shot of Harlan (although his face is obscured in that shot by his hair).

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Stroker Ace (1983)?
a.		Early in this film, on the lower Left of the screen, Fidel Castro, without beard, is seen as a poolside spectator with a drink in front of him. Young Fidel did "extra" work for MGM, while a student at UCLA, before becoming fully active in politics.
b.		Paul Thomas Anderson refers to this film as "an arthouse Adam Sandler film".
c.		The scene where William Wilberforce sings "Amazing Grace" at the card house was actually directly sung from Ioan Gruffudd at that moment. In the last several takes, a playback was used, but it is Ioan singing. Director Michael Apted had no idea whether or not Gruffudd could actually sing. Little did he know, Ioan is an accomplished soloist and choir singer. With a little practice, Ioan performed for the first time on set while the cameras were rolling. All much to the surprise of the cast, crew and director.
d.		Burt Reynolds once said in 1982, about a year before this picture, that he wasnt going to make any more "car chase" movies.
