b.		Kevin McClory, Ian Fleming and Jack Whittingham collaborated on an original story and screenplay for what would have been the very first 007 film, entitled "James Bond, Secret Agent". McClory reportedly wanted Richard Burton to play James Bond. For whatever reasons, the movie was never made. Fleming had previously cannibalized plots prepared for two other abandoned Bond spin-off projects, a newspaper comic strip and a television series, for 007 novels, and similarly turned this one into his novel "Thunderball". However, in this case his right to do so was not so clear. When Harry Saltzman bought the film rights to the Bond novels from Fleming and went into partnership with Albert R. Broccoli, McClory initiated legal action.

He put the mask on and walked into Rick Rosenthals office and stood there. After Rosenthal continuously asked him who he was and he didnt reply, he took off the mask and asked if he could play Michael Myers.
c.		Michael J. Fox was coached by professional bowler Johnny Petraglia to help his bowling style look convincing.
d.		Although cast as the daughter of Louise Beavers (Delilah), Fredi Washington (Peola, age 19) was in reality less than two years younger than her onscreen mother. She was, however, considerably slimmer than the matronly Beavers, which enabled the pair to "pass" as mother and daughter.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Accused (1988)?
