1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The House on Skull Mountain (1974)?
a.		Mike Evans final movie.
b.		Director Robert Aldrich refused Cliff Robertsons request to attend the 1969 Academy Awards ceremony, as a flight from the Philippines to Los Angeles and back would be too time-consuming. Robertson won the Oscar - for Charly - and the crew presented him with a mock statuette made out of wood. According to Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne, after the Philippine location shooting was over, Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences President Gregory Peck greeted the cast as it disembarked at Los Angeles International Airport. Robertson was holding his fake Oscar when he got off the plane. As he was approached by Peck with the real statuette, Robertson threw the wood "Oscar" over his shoulder. The fake Oscar hit Michael Caine in the forehead, and caused him to bleed profusely.
c.		Christopher Young: The composer of the musical score can be briefly seen eating a cupcake outside the bakery Christine looks into on her way to her work at the beginning of the film.
d.		This was the first of two movies that Bruce Willis owed Disney after he caused another production, "The Broadway Brawler", to be shut down due to him firing the director. He also was paid $10 million, half of his usual salary at the time.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The House on Skull Mountain (1974)?
a.		In a separately filmed trailer, Vitaphone production reel #2969, Edward Everett Horton and Patsy Ruth Miller talk about the film.
b.		The film is an adaptation of the fourth novel in a pentalogy, or five-novel cycle, known in China as the Crane/Iron Pentalogy and written by noted wuxia (kung-fu) novelist Du Lu Wang. The novels are "Crane Frightens Kunlun", "Precious Sword, Golden Hairpin", "Swords Force, Pearls Shine", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and "Iron Knight, Silver Vase". Much of the story is not about Li Mu Bai and Yu Shu Lien; they are in fact secondary characters who only become important later in the series. When a comic-book adaptation of the fourth book in the pentalogy was slated, illustrator Andy Seto re-watched the film to get inspiration for how to depict the fight scenes.
c.		During the scenes in Ansons basement, sheets can be seen hanging behind the area where the actors are sitting. Several members of the cast and crew were unaware that there was an individual living on an air mattress positioned behind the sheets who was present for most of the scenes that were shot there. There was also an individual living in the dirt floor root cellar beside the stairs that Anson uses to enter the basement who was silently present for most of the filming in that location.
d.		On the beneficiaries first night in the house, Lorena sits in front of a large, circular vanity mirror preparing for bed. The shot creates an optical illusion of a skull: the shape of the mirror is the outline, Lorenas hair and its reflection form the two eyes and a row of toiletry bottles and its reflection create the teeth. An illustration of a skull is superimposed briefly over the shot to drive the point home. The same effect appears at Phantom Manor, Disneyland Paris version of The Haunted Mansion; there the effect is enhanced by a crack in the wall behind the bride, the reflection of which forms the skulls nose.
