Famous trivia from Hollywood movie : The Hitcher (1986)

This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: The Hitcher (1986).

About the movie: A young man who escaped the clutches of a murderous hitch-hiker is subsequently stalked, framed for the hitcher's crimes, and has his life made into hell by the same man he escaped.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Hitcher (1986)?
a.		During filming, sepia (brownish) tone was tested in a few scenes, but the released picture is totally in standard black and white.
b.		During shooting, George Clooney visited his friends on the set of ER in full costume.
c.		C. Thomas Howell admitted that he was actually afraid of Rutger Hauer on and off the set because of the actors general intensity.
d.		Robert LaGuardia, in his 1988 biography of Montgomery Clift "Monty," claimed that director John Huston, who had paternalistic feelings towards Clift after directing the alcoholic and emotionally troubled actor in The Misfits, became sadistic towards him during the troubled "Freud" shoot. Basing his charges on interviews with co-star Susannah York, LaGuardia claimed that Huston kept asking Clift about the Freudian concept of "represssion," obviously alluding to Clifts repressed homosexuality. Apparently, Huston himself could not broach the idea that Monty was gay in his own mind, but subconsciously, he reacted to Montys homosexuality quite negatively. (Marilyn Monroe had admonished Monty not to work with Huston again, finding him a sadist on the "Misfits" set. Her ex-husband Arthur Miller, on the other hand, did not fault Huston in his autobiography "Timebends," but instead, marveled about how he kept his cool during the "Misfits" shoot, which was also troubled due to Marilyn Monroes mental illness and frequent absences from the set.) Montys biographer thought that Huston still had paternalistic feelings towards the actor, but was subconsciously appalled at his surrogate sons homosexuality; thus, he began to torture him on the set by insisting on unnecessary retakes and that he perform his own stunts, such as climbing up a rope. Despite Montys many problems, he always proved a trouper, and gave as much as he could.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Hitcher (1986)?
a.		After meeting with the director, Giovanni Ribisi suggested casting his friend Jason Lee for the multiple-role of the "Hippie" and called him immediately. Coincidentally, just as Giovanni was speaking to Jason, the script was unwittingly being handed to Jason by his production partner.
b.		James Browns distinctive scream was used as a sound effect for the alien energy beam backfiring as Russells plane crashes into the giant ray gun.
c.		The truck at the end of the film is a Dodge Ramcharger.
d.		The filmmakers thought the treatment by Tom DeSanto and Bryan Singer was perfect as it took seriously the social issues the "X-Men" comics were noted for reflecting: Senator Kellys proposal of a Mutant Registration act echoes the efforts of U.S. Congresss efforts to ban Communism in the States. Kelly brandishes a list of known mutants and exclaims "We must know who these mutants are and what they can do!" an event copied from Senator Joseph McCarthy who claimed to have a list of known American Communists working in the government. Kelly further questions whether mutants should be allowed to teach children in school, which mirrors the Section 28 issue (the banning of homosexual teachers in school, which Sir Ian McKellen was involved in). a deleted scene has Storm teaching a historical lesson about how Constantine Is conversion to Christianity ended the persecution of early Christians in the Roman Empire, which foreshadows Magnetos plot to force world leaders to accept mutantkind by mutating them. Magneto talks about the act having mutants "in chains, with a number burned into their forehead" - the situation he describes is similar to what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany (Magneto himself is a World War II survivor) Magnetos last lines contain the phrase "By any means necessary." This phrase was coined by civil-rights revolutionary Malcolm X; the relationship between Magneto and Professor X has been compared, respectively, to that of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, both of whom held differing philosophical views.

Bonham Carter played Ophelia in Franco Zefferellis 1990 version of Hamlet.

Walter Koenig has surmised that perhaps Chekov was a member of the crew, but just happened to never be shown in the first season; he jokes that maybe an off-duty Chekov accidentally caused Khan to wait uncomfortably long to get to the mens room, leaving a particularly indelible impression.
