3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Super Troopers (2001)?
a.
Making "James" was a long and arduous process. There was a well-publicized tug-of-war between director
Andrew Dominik
, who caught Hollywoods attention with indie title
Chopper
and Warners over the editing of the film. Warners wasnt entirely in sync with the pacing of the movie, or the length. Dominik was thinking more like Terence Malick in examining the relationship between the famous outlaw and his eventual assassin, Robert Ford, played by
Casey Affleck
. Warners was in favor of having at least a bit more action. Ultimately, Warners went with Dominiks version, even though Dominik didnt have final cut as part of his contract. Part of the reason was that Pitt, who produced the movie through his Plan B shingle, backed Dominik. At one point along the way, Pitt and exec producer
Ridley Scott
had put together their own cut. When it tested to only so-so results, they went back to Dominiks. The original cut of "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" was nearly four hours long. It was edited down to two hours and forty minutes, its current runtime, at the studios request. However, it did play at least once at its original 4-hour length, most notably at the Venice Film Festival, where
Brad Pitt
picked up the Best Actor Award. After the viewing, critics at the festival called the film "majestic."
b.
Off-duty Chicago police officers along with officers from Elyria OH; Hammond IN; Buffalo Grove, IL and Joliet, IL played Gotham police officer extras.
c.
In the scene where the troopers are smoking marijuana while watching the Johnny Chimpo cartoon, the redness of their eyes was achieved by the makeup artist blowing menthol in their faces.
d.
This was the first film from the production company of star
Rudolph Valentino
and his wife
Natacha Rambova
, who had a small part. Reportedly, Rambova began to rewrite the script almost immediately after filming began, and made such a mess of it that the studio called in veteran screenwriter
June Mathis
to do a complete rewrite.

was standing there, wearing just a cup, prisoners were pressed against the fence yelling at him.
b.
The Narrator and Marla are both in attendance at a Sickle-Cell Disease support group. Every other member is of an African or Latin racial background. This disease primarily infects people of African, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern or South Asian background, hence a further statement on their need to "crash" these meetings.
c.
When investigating the village in Zaire several of the huts are burned down. This is the traditional tribal method for controlling the spread of an infection in many parts of the world. Food and water are left outside the entrance to the dwelling and the occupants cannot leave. If several days (usually 3 or 4) of these supplies are not used then the dwelling is burned down to stop the infection from spreading.
d.
3 apparent B-roll shots of the supporting characters in a ballroom full of dancers were actually created using visual effects. When the Line Producer asked the Director the minimum number of extras needed for these shots during principal photography, the Director requested 50 extras. When only 7 extras showed up on the ballroom shoot days, an alternate solution became necessary. The Visual Effects Supervisor found takes which included empty sections of the ballroom. Taking several high resolution stills from those takes, he created 3 background plates. During a day of additional photography, both the supporting characters who would appear in the foreground and pairs of dancers who would appear in the middle ground were shot against a greenscreen. The Visual Effects Supervisor then composited up to a dozen elements to create shots which appear to contain the bride, her bridesmaids and the young man and young woman characters in the midst of a ballroom full of dancing couples.

Real syrup was brought in, and the actors then did several takes in which they actually chugged entire bottles of syrup. These are the takes you see in the close-ups, however, some wide shots with the iced tea were kept in.

To the chagrin of the producers and the director, the marijuana plants in the picture turned out to be real. The property master denied any culpability, leaving the producer to conclude that one of the actors must have made a last-minute substitute.
