1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Shoes of the Fisherman (1968)?
a.		In the scene where Pope Kiril prays over the body of the Jewish man, he recites the Shema. However, rather than say "Adonai", he says, "Hashem." This is because "Adonai" is traditionally only said when one is actually at prayer, and not simply reciting a prayer in a secular context, as in during a performance (specifically, in a movie).
b.		During the ballroom scene, Jack Lemmons character as the crown prince can be seen dancing with one of the military officers.
c.		Lionel Mark Smith, who plays the pimp in this movie, played a pimp (as well as a shill) in production of the original play back in 1982.
d.		All previous scripts revolved, in one way or another, around the death and subsequent return of Superman. Jonathan Lemkin wrote a draft in which Superman impregnates Lois before he dies, she gives birth soon thereafter (also dying in the process), and a fully-grown new Superman emerges to save the world. Lemkins work was quickly discarded.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Shoes of the Fisherman (1968)?
a.		Harry Nilsson took a break in the middle of production of his album "Flash Harry" to create the music for this movie. He wrote all of the original songs and co-produced the music with producer Bruce Robb at Cherokee Studios.
b.		Burt Lancaster, who headlined the film above the title with Dean Martin, made a great deal of money from the film, which was a huge hit. Lancasters contract gave him a 10% profit participation once the movie hit $50 million, and the film grossed $45.3 million in North America alone. Despite the financial windfall, Lancaster said that the movie was "the worst piece of junk ever made."
c.		Alex North reused the opening fanfare he wrote for 2001: A Space Odyssey but which had been rejected by Stanley Kubrick, as one of the main themes in his score.
d.		The sequence in which Catfish fires a submachine gun into the moon pool at a departing Lt. Coffey was filmed using live ammunition. The underwater camera was locked down and unmanned, and extreme safety precautions were in effect.

"Roscuro" refers to the "Chiaroscuro Movement", Botticelli is a reference to the artist Sandro Botticelli, painter of "The Birth of Venus", and Boldo is named after Giuseppe Arcimboldo, a famous surrealistic painter who composed faces and figures out of various objects in the way that Boldo himself is made out of fruit, vegetables and kitchen utensils.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Shoes of the Fisherman (1968)?

b.		This film remained in development at the Columbia Pictures studio for several years before it was eventually made.
c.		Sixth consecutive James Bond movie to be scored by composer David Arnold.
d.		The character Steak Mungro, played by Russell Aziz, wasnt even in the shooting script. Originally, the character Hodges was supposed to be the one who crushes Ricos dreams in the flashback, however, when Kevin Myers (who played Hodges) had a last-minute schedule conflict the day the flashback was to be shot, Aziz filled in and Steak Mungro, the Omega legend, was born. The character was eventually written into the script so much that it only made sense for him to return at the Greek Board debate as Ricos foil.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Shoes of the Fisherman (1968)?
a.		George S. Pattons line about wanting to "lead a lot of men in a desperate battle" was actually written in a letter to his brother-in-law on the ship crossing the Atlantic on the way to North Africa.
b.		David Lynch cut the film from its original four-hour running time to one frame short of two hours. Despite repeated attempts, the missing two hours of deleted scenes cannot be found. All that seem to remain are numerous still photos from these scenes, these are included on the 2002 special edition release of the film. The missing scenes can also be read in the original screenplay of the film. The missing scenes include a conversation between Jeffrey and Dorothy on top of the roof of Dorothys apartment followed by a lovemaking session between the two, Dorothy committing suicide in the original ending, a call from Jeffreys mother during the party with him and Sandy, among others.
c.		Average Shot Length = ~7.7 seconds. Median Shot Length = ~7.4 seconds.

b.		When Blade returns to his headquarters early in the movie, Scud remarks, "The Dark Knight Returns!" This is a reference to another comic book character that hunts by night, Batman, who was the subject of a classic comic book miniseries.
c.		Mel Gibson was supposed to play the tattoo artist, but the idea was later dropped following protests from the cast and crew. He was replaced by Liam Neeson. Director Todd Phillips later wanted to reshoot Neesons scene, but Neeson was unavailable to return, as he was filming Clash of the Titans 2. The scene was subsequently reshot with Nick Cassavetes in the role.
d.		According to the book The MGM Story by John Douglas Eames, "Battleground was a remarkable case of MGM history repeating itself. When Thalberg planned to make "The Big Parade" Mayer said no one wanted a war drama in 1925. Now Schary, the new Thalberg, had brought a pet project over from RKO, where Howard Hughes had vetoed it, and Mayer said no one wanted a war drama in 1949."
