EON Productions owned the James Bond theme and logo plus a considerable number of characters and situations. Elements that were shared by both parties included James Bond, casino gambling, M, Q, Miss Moneypenny, Felix Leiter and the Aston Martin DB5.

For the "Make Em Laugh" number,

to revive a trick he had done as a young dancer, running up a wall and completing a somersault. The number was so physically taxing that OConnor, who smoked four packs of cigarettes a day at the time, went to bed (or may have been hospitalized, depending on the source) for a week after its completion, suffering from exhaustion and painful carpet burns. Unfortunately, an accident ruined all of the initial footage, so after a brief rest, OConnor, ever the professional, agreed to do the difficult number all over again.

Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Gray Area (2010)?
