The worst involved a scene where Halicki, playing the lead Harlan Hollis, was driving towards one of the hit mens planes, and both collided head-on when pilot Tony Ostermeier misjudged the distance between them. One of the wings came through the cars windshield and hit Halicki, while the plane crashed behind him.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Junkman (1982)?
a.		The Shawshank prison, in the book and in the movie, was loosely based on Thomaston prison, an aging prison located in Thomaston, Maine. That real life prison closed in 2004 due to its small size and dilapidated structure.
b.		The cast has strong ties to Aaron Sorkins television projects: Peter Krause starred as anchor Casey McCall in _"Sports Night" (1998)_, Richard Schiff was communications director Toby Ziegler on _"The West Wing" (1999)_, and Kari Matchett did a five-episode run on _"Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" (2006)_ as attorney Mary Tate.

The title has several meanings: the "A" refers most obviously to the "Scarlet Letter" of the book and that Olive decides to wear, and "easy" is derogatory, somewhat old-fashioned slang for someone (almost always a woman) who is sexually promiscuous; "easy A" is also an American phrase denoting a school, class, or test that takes no effort to excel at.

The vehicles used in the "big crash" scene during the main chase sat in the middle of the road for a week during filming, in their on-screen positions with debris and all, with traffic cones around them to warn civilian drivers.

d.		Although the 2008 "TR2N" teaser trailer showed that Disney was seriously considering a sequel, the movie had not been "greenlit" at that time. According to director Joseph Kosinski and producer Sean Bailey, the teaser served two purposes: to show Disney executives what a TRON sequel might look like (before committing to a feature budget), and to gauge fan interest. If the teaser had failed to generate sufficient fan "buzz", the movie wouldnt have been made.
