Joan Collins

Land of the Pharaohs
. After Collins departure,
Audrey Hepburn

Walter Wanger
. Wanger then offered the role to
Elizabeth Taylor
. He called her on the set of her latest film,
Suddenly, Last Summer
and related the offer through Taylors then husband

d.
Joseph L. Mankiewicz first script contained several novelties that never made it to the screen. Among them was a series of memos from a theater-chain owner (made to look as though they had been slipped in front of the projector) that commented on the action taking place. Also, there was to have been a running argument (resembling backstage squabbling) between a theater manager and the actor playing Cecil over such things as lines and cues.
2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Honey Pot (1967)?
a.
The film couldnt be filmed in Herman, Minnesota, because there werent enough motel/hotel rooms in the vicinity for the cast and crew.
b.
The mechanical shark spent most of the movie broken-down, and was unavailable for certain shots. This led
Steven Spielberg

The 2003 R1 DVD version includes the original ending showing McClane and Simon playing a game of chicken with a rocket launcher. In this original version, Simon Gruber and his crew get away with the gold and months later, McClane tracks Simon down in Eastern Europe (where in Europe is debated: McClane mentions Germany, but people in the background are heard speaking Hungarian) The number on the bottom of the aspirin bottle (at the phone booth) leads McClane to Gruber. The gold was turned into small miniatures of the Empire State building and smuggled out of the country. McClane is thrown off the force, with the police thinking that he may actually be involved in the heist. The "game" that McClane and Simon play is about riddles that McClane tells Simon, and he is supposed to figure out the answer, or McClane will force him to fire a rocket launcher with its directional arrows removed, so neither will know which direction it will fire in until it is actually fired. The scene climaxes with McClane forcing Simon at gunpoint to fire the rocket launcher, which kills Simon, and McClane is revealed to be wearing a flak-jacket, which would have saved his life if the rocket launcher had fired at him instead of Simon. The studio objected to the ending, saying that it made McClane too cruel and heartless, whereas screenwriter
Jonathan Hensleigh
stated that that was exactly the point: to show that McClane had been pushed over the edge by the events of that day, and then subsequently losing everything as a result of Simon.
c.
Barbara Guedel
did Linda Blairs skating during the Boogie contest. Guedel was an artistic roller skater from California.
d.
Producer
Frank McCarthy
was a retired brigadier general who served on the staff of Gen.
George C. Marshall
during World War II; he worked for 20 years to make a film about
George S. Patton
.
