About the movie: Based on the 1836 standoff between a group of Texan and Tejano men, led by Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie, and Mexican dictator Santa Anna's forces at the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Alamo (2004)?
a.		This was the first film in the UK with the "12A" certificate. The press release came out the day before it was released. Because of this, there was no time to change the "12" card at the start with a new "12A" one.
b.		Sarah Brightmans first film appearance.
c.		Film debut of Cal Shrum.
d.		Disney forced Director John Lee Hancock to put clothes on the images of liberty on the Texans drums. Images of that era depicting Liberty always showed her with a breast or both breasts exposed.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Alamo (2004)?
a.		The role of Bert was played by David Sharpe, who was actually a member of Republics celebrated team of stunt men. Because of his lead on-camera role, he was stunt doubled by fellow team mate James Fawcett for the more dangerous stunts.
b.		John Waynes film featured only Anglo men fighting at the Alamo, although this is not historically accurate. The film includes the character of Juan Seguin, a real Hispanic veteran of the Texas Revolution. Sadly, after the war, Texans began to suspect him of betraying them to the Mexicans, so he was forced to return to Mexico to avoid persecution. He ended up serving in the Mexican army and having to fight against his fellow Texans in the Mexican-American war.
c.		The movie was actually cast long before financing was pulled together. Many were selected from Harmony Korines own group of friends, who were, incidentally, the basis for some of the scripts characters. In the year or so it took to secure investors the initial cast crop had either aged considerably or, after more thought, been replaced.
d.		This film was made under the title "Cracked Eggs".

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Alamo (2004)?
a.		According to the book When Hollywood Ruled the Skies: The Aviation Film Classics of World War II by Bruce Orriss, when the movie was released, the Navy Department provided the new Douglas dive bomber to be displayed in principal cities, and set up recruiting booths by the theaters.
b.		When this film was first released to TV in 1956, the sequences involving the gamblers and their attempts to have Ike "throw" the game were practically eliminated, reducing the length of the film by 20 minutes, unnoticed on commercial TV. The appearance of "Lefty", the head of the gambling syndicate, was reduced to just one scene as a spectator in the stands commenting on the game. Additionally, Ike arriving late for a game, arrives at the ballpark in a delivery vehicle pulling a convoy of cars. In the 50s TV edited version, this hysterical event appears to viewers to be only the result of Ikes notorious chicanery. In the restored version, we see that Ike first actually wound up within the convoy as he was being chased by the gamblers.
c.		Several people that played Texan extras in the movie are actual descendants of the defenders of the Alamo.
d.		Contains intentional continuity errors.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Alamo (2004)?
a.		The fourth of nine classic RKO movies featuring Simon Templar, The Saint starring George Sanders.
b.		The role of Susanna Dickinson, the only adult Anglo survivor of the siege and the mother of the only child Anglo survivor, was much larger in the script than what it ended up being in the final version of the film. The role was one of the major roles in the script and the actress who portrayed Susanna, Laura Clifton, was the only female member of the permanent cast for the film. After Disney finished editing the theatrical release of the film, the character has only one line (screaming for her husband, Almaron Dickinson, during a cattle stampede) and a few appearances in other scenes (during Travis speech and in the chapel during the siege) and is not even identified anywhere in the movie so that audiences would know who this significant figure in Texas history was. In fact, the role, far from being Laura Cliftons big break, actually hurt her career because of how insignificant it ended up being in the theatrical release.
c.		The Broadway production of "A Little Night Music" won the Tony Award for Best Musical of 1973.
d.		After initial reservations about Frank Capras method of directing, Ronald Colman would eventually come to rely on him and the two would experiment with improvisations.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Alamo (2004)?
a.		The death of David Crockett as depicted in this film is corroborated by the account of a Mexican soldier, Jose Enrique de la Pena. Though not translated into English until after the earlier Alamo film was made, his account makes the claim that Crockett was recognized by the Mexicans, and was executed after the battle rather than killed during it.
b.		Leading up to its release, it was reported by numerous trade magazines that Tom Cruise had demanded a sex scene involving his wife, Katie Holmes, be cut from the movie. At the 2006 Hay-On-Wye book festival, Jason Reitman dismissed this report as complete rubbish, explaining that these reports came from the films first festival screening where an overzealous projectionist had accidentally cut the scene when splicing the film together (an easy mistake to make, as the scene came at the end of a reel and followed a couple of seconds of black). At a Q&A that followed said screening, Reitman mentioned to the festival audience that there was a missing sex scene in the version they just saw, which was somehow seen by (equally overzealous) reporters as being a result of Tom Cruise and/or Scientologys involvement.
c.		The writers paid tribute to the band Christopher Ward in each installment of Final Destination.
d.		In interviews about Mad Max 2 (a.k.a. "The Road Warrior"), George Miller said that while Maxs world was after the collapse of the social/political/economic system we know, it was not post-World War III. However, "Beyond Thunderdome" explicitly contradicts this.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Alamo (2004)?
a.		Voted #8 in Total Films 100 Greatest Movies Of All Time list (November 2005).
b.		Martita Roca was first cast to play the leading role of Sofia, but then producers thought she would be better as Monica, Sofias cousin.
c.		During the battle of San Jacinto the Texans yelled, "Remember the Alamo." During the actual battle they also yelled, "Remember Goliad." The massacre at Goliad was left out of the movie. Goliad was where Colonel Fannin and his unarmed men were executed at the order of Santa Ana.
d.		Took 16 years to get made.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Alamo (2004)?
a.		Scenes which made more sense of Farmers breakdown and her relationship with her mother were dropped in favor of keeping the romance with Harry York intact.
b.		The stripper for Prendergast (Robert Duvall) is named "Suzie". When she starts dancing, someone says "Susie Q", a reference to the Creedence Clearwater Revival song used in Apocalypse Now, which also featured Duvall.
c.		In the film, Jerry Lewis frequent co-writer Bill Richmond does a quick walk-on as Stan Laurel, one of Lewis idols. The Laurel imitation, Lewis non-speaking bellboy and the black-and-white photography show Lewis intention to make a silent-movie-type comedy.
d.		Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson was an extra and appears after the Battle of San Jacinto in a crowd scene shouting, "Hang him!" Patterson is shown briefly in costume in a cut-away shot with another extra while Houston makes a speech. Patterson also did several "PSA" announcements from the Alamo set to promote the "Save Texas History" web site.
