1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Appaloosa (1966)?
a.		Cinematographer Barry Sonnenfeld told the Coen brothers that the forest scenes should be shot during overcast days only. The brothers did not want to delay the filming based on the weather, but as luck would have it, on all but one of the scheduled days, it was overcast anyway. Sonnenfeld further muted the colors by using Fuji film instead of Kodak for the forest scenes. In one scene, when the Dane, Tom, Frankie and Tic-Tac are in the woods at Millers Crossing, some sunlight can be seen faintly and out of focus in the background.
b.		The officer on the Saratoga who announces that the thruster controls are offline is of the same alien race as the Federation President in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. This race has never been officially named, but some promotional materials identify the race as the Efrosians (named after Mel Efros, unit production manager for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home).
c.		According to co-star John Saxon, Marlon Brandos relationship with director Sidney J. Furie got to the point where Brando, when getting ready to do a close-up, would be reading a book. He would only lower the book when Furie yelled "Action". When he yelled "Cut", Brando would raise the book again.
d.		In the scene where Augie tries to jump on Jakes horse and falls to the ground, the horse is wearing Jakes hat. This was Costners idea just before the cameras rolled to keep with his characters goofy nature. Kasdan loved the idea and it stayed in the film.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Appaloosa (1966)?
a.		Robert Ramsey is also the name of the mayor in The Towering Inferno, produced by Irwin Allen, the producer of the original The Poseidon Adventure.
b.		According to Bob Thomas 1973 biography "Marlon: Portrait of the Artist as a Rebel", producer Alan Miller, appalled at his stars lack of interest in the film and his lackluster performance, pinned a bit of doggerel about Marlon Brando, whose character is called "Mateo" by his Mexican friend in the film: "Mateo, his heart / It bleeds for the mass, / But the people he works with / He kicks in the ass."
c.		Jackie Earle Haley would often improvise his lines on the set, feeling this might help unease his other cast members if they didnt know what line he was going to say.
d.		After poor audience reaction to the original ending, it was decided that the ending be re-shot. Glenn Close was opposed to redoing the ending, but eventually felt she owed it to everyone else to do it. (In the November 1996 edition of Movieline magazine, Close said: "The original ending was a gorgeous piece of film noir. She kills herself, but makes sure that his prints are all over the knife, and he gets arrested. He knows he didnt do it, but hes going to jail anyway. But audiences wanted some kind of cathartic ending, so we went back months later and shot the ending thats in the movie now.")
