This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: The Insider (1999).
About the movie:
A research chemist comes under personal and professional attack when he decides to appear in a "60 Minutes" expose on Big Tobacco.
1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Insider (1999)?
a.
The soundtrack album for this film contains "(I Want To Be) Elected" by
Alice Cooper
, as sung by
Bruce Dickinson
.
Rowan Atkinson
appears in the song, making comments throughout as Mr. Bean, who is running for British prime-minister. His lines contain many references to Atkinsons series
Black Adder the Third
. For example,
Vincent Hanna
appears reading off the votes, like he did on the first episode of Blackadder III. Like in that episode, all the parties listed off "no votes" until Atkinsons, who received all the votes (so Bean gets elected in the song). Also, Beans speech starts off "Unacustomed as I am to public speaking..." like Prince Georges did in the episode "Sense and Senility".
b.
Toward the end of the film,
Mike Wallace
shows
Lowell Bergman
an unflattering article and editorial about CBS in the latest New York Times. The article and editorial are clearly from different sections of the paper. This would seem to be a goof, since the Times op-ed pieces usually appear in the back of the main news section. The real-life pieces to which this scene refers, however, were published on a Sunday (12 November 1995), which means that the news and editorials would in fact have appeared in separate sections, just one more example of director
Michael Mann
s eye for detail.
c.
Alan Lee
: The Concept Designer can be seen as the Rohan collecting weapons at Helms Deep (to the left when Aragorn yells "Then I shall die as one of them!").
d.
Sandra Oh
gets prominent billing alongside
Patrick Wilson
and
Ellen Page
, but she only gets a few minutes of screentime.
2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Insider (1999)?
a.
Originally meant to be a sequel to
The Phantom
serial, but the rights were unattainable, so the story was switched to a similar "original" character instead.
b.
In a scene in Bergmans office,
Mike Wallace
tells
Lowell Bergman
, "I dont plan to spend the end of my days wandering in the wilderness of National Public Radio." In reality, Bergman left CBS in 1998 (not right after the
Jeffrey Wigand
piece, as depicted in the movie) to work for Public Television.
c.
Is originally based on the computer-game "Brainwaves" (released as "Brainscanners" in Europe after the film was released).
d.

3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Insider (1999)?
a.
Val Kilmer
was considered by
Michael Mann
for the role of
Jeffrey Wigand
. Producer
Pieter Jan Brugge
suggested
Russell Crowe
.
b.
Meticulous care was taken at all levels of production. All the physical props were true to the period, the buildings were built to the specifications of the time and the clothing was completely authentic. Director
George Stevens
even had somewhat scrawny-looking cattle imported from other areas, as the local herds looked too well-fed and healthy.
c.
The very first time we see Freddy in the movie, he isnt being played by
Robert Englund
, but by special-effects man
Charles Belardinelli
, as Belardinelli was the only one who knew exactly how to cut the glove and insert the blades.
d.
The hat that
Buster Keaton
quickly removes from his head and hands back to the clerk with a frown is Keatons own trademark porkpie hat.

Several times the writers discussed having Rick leave with Lois/Ilsa, but this was always rejected (and the censors would not have allowed it with her married to Victor). Their major problem was to make it plausible that despite clearly loving Rick, she would leave with Victor; the final scene was rewritten many times until this was achieved.
c.
One of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by MCA ever since.

Passage Home
at the same time.

Banzais mentioned but unseen foe Hanoi Xan seems to homage Hanoi Shan. In the genealogical section of Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life (1973), Philip Jose Farmer added Hanoi Shan to the Wold Newton Universe.

Bo and Luke carried the core samples into the lab in a S&W duffel bag.

Bob Hope
and

made together.
