Famous trivia from Hollywood movie : The Dark (1979)

This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: The Dark (1979).

About the movie: An alien mutilator stalks and kills human prey during the night.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Dark (1979)?
a.		While in Austria filming Where Eagles Dare, Clint Eastwood was approached with the script by Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burtons wife at the time, with the notion of starring together in the film. However, Universal Pictures was unwilling to pay Taylors high salary.
b.		This was originally to be a zombie movie. After poor screenings, the studio tried to repackage it as science fiction by removing much of the zombie footage, freeze-framing the monster during attacks and adding laser beams emanating from its eyes.
c.		During the scene of the finals of Video Armageddon, the last game used for the final, "Super Mario Bros. 3" was actually meant to be revealed in the film before the NES game was released. People were treated to see this paticular NES game for the first time when the film was first released into theaters.
d.		Actors Barry Ratcliffe and Eliza Swenson were both on location shooting the Witches Of Oz while Red Reaper was shooting. While the Witches of Oz was on their Christmas break, Ratcliffe and Swenson jetted down to Florida and shot their scenes, and returned back to location to finish Witches of Oz.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Dark (1979)?
a.		The real-life counterpart to Katsumoto (played by Ken Watanabe) is Takamori Saigo, who led a samurai rebellion in 1877. As in the movie, Saigo ended up committing suicide in September 1877 after defeat in battle. The Emperors attitude in the film toward Katsumotos struggle and death reflects actual Japanese popular sentiment toward Saigo, who though defeated, was regarded as a hero; a statue of Saigo was erected shortly after his death, and can today be seen in Ueno, in northeast Tokyo.
b.		Originally conceived by Richard Williams as an attempt to make the greatest animated film of all time, it later became his own "reason for living." After failing to secure funds from private investors or a studio to make the film, Williams decided to finance the film on his own, taking small jobs on television commercials or Saturday morning cartoons and using the proceeds to hire his own group of animators. The production moved in fits and starts until the success of Who Framed Roger Rabbit allowed Williams to make a deal with Warner Bros. to finance and distribute the film. As the production continued, however, it became obvious that Williams would not meet the 1991 release date originally set by the studio due to numerous delays, not the least of which were the directors insistence on absolute perfection and hesitation in using storyboards - two circumstances which often resulted in whole sequences being scrapped and re-shot. With Warner Bros. nervous over the release of Disneys Aladdin, which resembled The Princess and the Cobbler in story, tone and style (many of the animators on the Disney feature had also worked for Richard Williams), the studio turned over completion of the film to the Completion Bond Company, which promptly fired Richard Williams and brought on animator Fred Calvert to finish the film as cheaply and quickly as possible. Calvert heavily re-edited the film and altered the story, bringing in Matthew Broderick, Jennifer Beals and Jonathan Winters to re-dub the lead characters. Eventually distributed by Miramax, the film was cut even further before debuting in theaters (See the Alternate Versions page for more details). Though bootleg copies of Richard Williams original work-print continue to circulate and several restoration attempts have been proposed, an official "Directors Cut" has yet to be released.
c.		Never released to television, the survival status of this film is undetermined.
d.		Director John Bud Cardos replaced Tobe Hooper during production.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Dark (1979)?
a.		While discussing chaos theory, Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) shamelessly flirts with Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern). After meeting on this film, the two actors began a romantic relationship, and were engaged for two years before breaking up.
b.		Chon Wang is the Chinese translation/pronunciation of John Wayne. However, in the case of Jackie Chans character, Chon represents his last name while Wang is his first name. This represents the order Chinese names are presented.
c.		Jessica Biel and Kate Hudson were considered to replace Kirsten Dunst as Ivy Walker, but Bryce Dallas Howard was cast instead.
d.		The television station is KFVI. The last part "FVI" refers to this films production company, Film Ventures International. When Shelley is by the movie theater at the beginning of the film, we can see three movie posters, Chi sei? (better known as "Beyond the Door"), Grizzly and The Power. These films were produced by Film Ventures International.
