a.		As part of an article about this movie in a 1967 issue of his magazine "Famous Monsters of Filmland," Forrest J Ackerman published two stills of Boris Karloff as the Monster and Edgar Norton as Benson the butler. In the first, the Monster is standing just behind the other, who is holding a tray bearing a plate of chicken. In the other, the Monster is eating a chicken leg while Benson lies in a heap before him. As no such sequence appears in the movie, from these Ackerman postulated that a scene of the Monster killing the butler had been filmed but left on the proverbial cutting room floor.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Gay Sisters (1942)?
a.		Scenes cut over the years of release and re-release: Kong chewing on the natives of Skull Island; two scenes with Kong squashing one native each with his giant foot; the brontosaurus biting and throwing the men in the water; Kong putting a New Yorker in his mouth then throwing him down to the ground; a scene where Kong climbs a building, pulls out a sleeping woman with his giant hand, examines her, and when he finds its not Ann Darrow, tosses her down to the sidewalk below; and, of course, Fay Wrays clothing being peeled off. The censor committee once stated that this was at least six minutes of editing. These scenes were all restored to the actual film in 1971. Of course, we still have yet to see the famous spider pit sequence, although in King Kong, we get an idea of what it was like. Also, the 2005 DVD release of the 1933 film has Peter Jacksons recreation of that scene.

This variation differs much from the conventional ratatouille in terms of preparation and method. The major difference is that the vegetables used are sliced thinly and baked instead of cooking them in the pot.

c.		Much of the crowd at the gas station where Harold Smith is pulled over after the night-time Torrance chase were part of a real biker gang, who verbally abused the police officers "arresting" the actor and demanding they leave him alone. Being an independent production, the film used real civilians who happened to be wherever they were filming.
