1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Champ (1931)?
a.
To make a corridor look longer than it actually was, the crew created an optical illusion by putting a mirror in a 45° angle at the end of it. At the Bavaria Filmstudios, where the movie has been filmed, you can still take a guided tour around the set. The effect with the mirror was so good that one day a tour guide ran into the glass and broke it.
b.
Richard Ney
s film debut.
c.
Wallace Beery
actually got one less vote than
Fredric March
in the 1931/1932 Academy Awards voting for best actor, but the rules at the time considered anyone with one or two votes less than the leader as being in a tie. So both got Academy Awards.
d.
R.K.O. gave
Val Lewton
only $150,000 to make the film, resulting in "creative" producing. This forced many of the scenes requiring special effects to be done in shadows which many believe increased the suspense of the film. When studio execs insisted that more footage of the panther be included in the movie, Lewton was able to maintain the budget and the suspense of the film by limiting how many scenes the panther could be visibly seen and told the cinematographer to "keep the panther in the shadows." Thus the panther was only visible in the office and zoo cage.

Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Champ (1931)?
a.
At the meeting in the restaurant, Sollozzo speaks to Michael in Sicilian so rapid subtitles could not be used. He begins with: "I am sorry. What happened to your father was business. I have much respect for your father. But your father, his thinking is old-fashioned. You must understand why I had to do that. Now lets work through where we go from here." When Michael returns from the bathroom, he continues in Sicilian with: "Everything all right? I respect myself, understand, and cannot allow another man to hold me back. What happened was unavoidable. I had the unspoken support of the other Family dons. If your father were in better health, without his eldest son running things, no disrespect intended, we wouldnt have this nonsense. We will stop fighting until your father is well and can resume bargaining. No vengeance will be taken. We will have peace. But your Family should interfere no longer."
b.
This was Nancy Davis (I)s final film.
c.
The scenes with
Woody Allen
were shot in London. Producers delayed his final day of shooting so many times that out of frustration Allen left the set, went directly to Heathrow Airport and flew back to New York City without changing out of his costume.
d.
Although the AFI Catalogue specifies the world premiere was in Hollywood (at Graumans Chinese Theater) on 13 November 1931, the New York Times review of 10 November 1931 says "last night it succeeded in stirring the emotions of an audience in the Astor..." Since the review concludes that the film is AT THE ASTOR, it seems likely that it was ready for public viewing immediately. The AFI Catalogue world premiere statement is probably wrong, and that it was just a Hollywood premiere.
3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Champ (1931)?

4.

The tanker truck that explodes at the end is a model, not a real truck. Most people cant tell the difference. It was filmed twice because the wire pulling the truck tugged too hard initially, pulling the front axle off ruining the shot.

Bad Boys II
.
