4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight (1897)?
a.		19th century historical figure Wyatt Earp was a reporter for the New York Herald and wrote extensively on the event, both before and after. Earp was convinced that the film would prove that Fitzsimmons had fouled Corbett by hitting him in the jaw after the knockout blow to the solar plexus, and his outrage that the referee, George Siler, failed to notice this. Fitzsimmons responded to the Herald claiming that having seen the film, he didnt believe a single frame could prove this accusation true. William Barclay Bat Masterson also attended and is oft identified in existing footage as the man wearing a bowler hat sitting ringside at the center of the frame who appears to be manning the bell.
b.		To save money, the Cannon Movie Tales were shot two or three at-a-time. "Sleeping Beauty" was shot simultaneously with Hansel and Gretel. This wasnt the best of situations in that often the two crews would be competing for limited equipment, costumes, and sets.
c.		The lit candelabras that rise from the water were not done with special effects or CGI lights: the special wicks ignited when they reached the air. This effect was done in one take and didnt work again after that.
d.		The motorcycles uses in the forest race scene are the only Moto GP spec bikes available to consumers. Bretton James rode a Motoczysz C1 and Jake Moore rode a Ducati Desmosedici RR.
