Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Flamingo Kid (1984)?
a.
The wedding scene at the close of the film marked one of the first use of CAPS (Computer Animation Production System) in a Disney feature. CAPS is a digital ink-and-paint and animation production system that colors the animators drawings digitally, as opposed to the traditional animation method of tracing ink and paint onto cels. The rest of
The Little Mermaid
uses hand-painted cels. All subsequent Disney features have used CAPS instead of ink-and-paint. An earlier scene where Ariel runs down a set of stairs, also uses the CAPS system for its moving background.
b.
Alexander Knox, Anne Revere, Marcel Dalio, and Philip Merivale (who was actually born in India) were earlier choices for the roles played by Herbert Marshall, Elsa Lanchester, Robert Barron, and Cecil Humphreys.
c.
One title considered was "Sweet Ginger Brown", referring to the Gin Rummy game.
d.
While what is seen in the movie is virtually verbatim from the book, there were many scenes in the book that were cut from the script/movie. Some of the more major of these scenes include: Chigurh staying at the motel for five days after being shot, and leaving when Sheriffs arrive at the place; Mexicans arriving during the scene where Chigurh and Moss face off in the streets, all of whom Chigurh kills; Sheriff Bell finding an old woman in an apartment killed from a stray bullet from the showdown between Chigurh, Moss, and the Mexicans; Sheriff Bell finding the owner of the motel where Chigurh found Moss dead with a hole in his head from Chigurhs cattle gun; an entire subplot where Moss picks up a hitchhiker on his way to el Paso, after he retrieves the money, whom he befriends and gets to know before he is killed by the Mexicans; Chigurh entering the motel room Moss was killed in to retrieve the stolen money; Chigurh returning the stolen money to its original owner and beginning a working relationship with the owner; Chigurh sneaking into Carla Jeans grandmothers house when they are not there and sleeping there overnight; Sheriff Bell interrogating one of the boys who made contact with Chigurh after Chigurhs car accident; and, the rest of the encounter with Carla Jean and Chigurh, where Carla Jean incorrectly guesses the side of Chigurhs coin, and is shot by Chigurh after he explains to her why his killing her is out of his control. The book also explains (by Chigurh himself, during a conversation) why Chigurh was arrested at the very beginning of the book (also in the first scene in the movie). The only scenes added to the movie were the scene with the Mariachi band and the last half of the scene where Chigurh kills the man who hired Wells (When he first encounters the accountant until "That depends...do you see me?"). The scene where Moss talks to a woman by a swimming pool was not in the book, but was an alternate scene rather than an added scene; it takes the place of a scene in the book where Moss talks to the girl who hitchhikes with him on the road to el Paso. Two other important alternate scenes were Bell finding and identifying Mosss body in a Morgue, rather than the crime scene as in the movie; and Bell traveling to Carla Jeans grandmothers house to tell her of Mosss death there, rather than encountering her at the crime scene. Also, even though virtually all of the dialogue in the movie is verbatim from the book, many (if not all) of the conversations between characters in the book were heavily condensed for the movie.
