3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Night of the Iguana (1964)?
a.		According to one of the biographies of Tennessee Williams, "The Kindness of Strangers," by Donald Spoto, the character of Maxine, who is portrayed in this film by Ava Gardner, was purportedly based upon Williams landlady of the apartment he rented in Santa Monica while he was working at MGM Studios in the 1940s. Her mannerisms, her attitudes and even her distinctive one-syllable laugh were detailed by Williams and are expertly performed by Ms. Gardner.
b.		In an interview with Jay Slater, Fred Williamson told how he made this movie during the shooting of Enzo G. Castellaris _Inglorious Bastards (1977)_. He would take the camera equipment and crew every Saturday and Sunday and film "Mr Mean", unknown to the producer at that time. He wrote the story Monday to Friday and shot on the weekends what he had written that week.
c.		Apparently this was one of the first movies to have a scene cut under the then new MPAA American ratings system. Apparently, according to the NEA story article "Movie Producers Hope For The Best" by Dick Kleiner in the 1968-11-06 edition of The Coshcocton Tribune, "a bare-from-the-waist-up shot" of Angie Dickinson featured in the original print submitted. Apparently, this topless shot of Dickinson was cut for the movies American release so as to prevent the possibility of the movie receiving the then new R-rating. Director Arnold Laven then submitted a print with a tighter shot of Dickinson showing her from the shoulders up. However, some versions of this movie, such as the Australian VCR release under the title "A Man of All Breeds", still show the topless Dickinson in this scene. Dickinson has done nude scenes in her career. She starred in the Brian de Palma (qav) erotic thriller Dressed to Kill in which she had a very steamy--literally and otherwise--topless shower scene. After she was cast in Howard Hawkss Rio Bravo, the production had her legs insured by Lloyds of London.
d.		Composer Michael Giacchino happened to score the short film that preceded Ratatouille in theaters, Lifted.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Night of the Iguana (1964)?
a.		Nearly half the films $3 million budget was used to pay the three major stars salaries: Richard Burton ($750,000), Ava Gardner ($400,000) and Deborah Kerr ($250,000).
b.		Brad Pitt turned down the lead role of Will Freeman on the grounds that it was implausible that someone so attractive would need to pretend to be a single father to meet women. He nevertheless appears in the film (sort of) - he is on the cover of an issue of "Esquire" magazine that Will is reading in his flat.
c.		The original title "The Hound of the Baskervilles" refers to a dog that terrorizes a family called "Baskerville". The German title "Der Hund Von Baskerville", a mistranslation, refers to a hound, which just lives in "Baskerville", a town, that does not play a role in the story.
d.		The restaurant scenes were filmed inside an empty McDonalds (you can see the old McDonalds registers and the doors in the restaurant) and everything else was filmed inside an old church that also served as the teams living quarters.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Night of the Iguana (1964)?
a.		Originally the idea for the film was that aliens had seen Gonzo on The Muppet Show and came to visit him on Earth. Gonzo would believe he was one of them until he discovered the truth at the movies conclusion.
b.		This movie put Puerta Vallarta, Mexico, on the map - it didnt even have scheduled air service before John Huston shot the film there. Elizabeth Taylors appearance on the set and her ensuing scandalous affair with Richard Burton made headlines around the world. Now its a top resort destination with thousands of hotel rooms and is a popular cruise ship port.
c.		The dome jettisoning sequences were based on Trumbulls viewing of actual footage of Apollo Saturn V rocket stage separations. The miniatures of the dome couplings were 10 inches in diameter, and were filled with mica and compressed air to get the separation effect Trumbull wanted.
d.		This is the final film of George P. Cosmatos.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Night of the Iguana (1964)?
a.		Many of the lead and supporting actors are Civil War re-enactors.
b.		Ava Gardner kept changing one of her lines in the film from "In a pigs eye, you are!" to "In a pigs ass, you are!", much to the delight of the rest of the cast and crew, including director John Huston.
c.		The note that is broken on Nick Noltes grand piano is an A two octaves above middle C.
d.		Won Best Narrative Feature at the Oregon Film Awards.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Night of the Iguana (1964)?
a.		In order to diffuse the tension prior to shooting (due mainly to the isolated location the stars would be working in together), John Huston made each lead actor a gold encrusted pistol with bullets- one with each actors name on it. This way, when the actors wanted to kill one another, they would use the designated bullet. This proved to be successful. No problems between the cast arose.
b.		In addition to these replacements, there was one more that did not even make it through an entire shooting. At the very beginning of shooting, Christopher Walken played the role of Peter but Allen only shot a few scenes with him before he decided that he was wrong for the part. Walken was replaced by Sam Shepard who, in turn, was later replaced by Sam Waterston.
c.		The actors playing the Green Street Hooligans had to work out with the productions trainer for four or five hours every day. The trainer, Pat E. Johnson, had most of the actors throwing up, he was working them so hard. A typical day would involve basic strength and fitness training for about two hours, followed by choreographing of the fight sequences. Rehearsals would take place in the afternoon, and then in the evening they would all go out drinking (which is probably why most of them were throwing up the next day). Elijah Wood was absented from most of this rigorous schedule to emphasize his outsider status.
d.		Film debut of Alan Dinehart III.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Night of the Iguana (1964)?
a.		Almost all of the cast members of Aardvark also appear in this film.
b.		Sue Lyons then-fiancé, Hampton Fancher III, accompanied her to the set, but after interfering with production too many times, John Huston had him banned from the set.
c.		Early in the production the villain role was written for Yun-Fat Chow. But Chows manager Terence Chang vetoed this saying that Chow never plays villains and that doing so would betray his fans.
d.		Actors Kimberly Scott (Bruces assistant) and Michael Paul Chan (a worker at Wayne Enterprises) came back for Batman & Robin, but in different roles, playing scientists at the Gotham Observatory. Joel Schumacher frequently uses them in his movies.
