7.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Thin Red Line (1998)?
a.
In a classroom scene, a teacher mentions that Everest is not Earths highest geographical point. She asks what the actual highest point is, and the bell rings. The answer is Mt. Chimborazo in Ecuador, which is the furthest point from the Earths center, but closer to local sea level than Everest. (The Earth bulges at the equator.) However, as the movie is set in 1962, and the analysis that led to Mt. Chimborazo being described that way was performed recently, it is extraordinarily unlikely thats what the teacher is referring to. Also, by the measurement that lists Mt. Chimborazo is highest, Everest is not 2nd, but 10th. Almost certainly, the reference is to K2, which is a point of contention.

recorded a narration for the three-hour-plus epic under the supervision of director

The sex scene between Tyler (
Brad Pitt
) and Marla (
Helena Bonham Carter
) was shot using the same bullet-time technique used in

Lee Scott
and
Francisco Lupica
, the creator and performer of the Cosmic Beam, provided the haunting "metalic" sound to the films score. What sounds like a large distant bell is actually the Cosmic Beam.
c.
Alexander Hall
was the original director, but fell ill with pleurisy and was replaced by
Rowland V. Lee
after two-thirds of the film was shot. The length of principal photography suggests that Lee reshot or expanded most of Halls material, resulting in many cast changes. It is not known how much of Halls footage remains in the film.
