Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Usual Suspects (1995)?

The character of Fenster was named after the German for window, and originally conceived as the oldest man of the group, a more seasoned veteran.

was originally asked to audition for the role of McManus. Benicio asked to audition for the role of Fenster, telling the director that he had an idea for the part. The unintelligible way that Fenster spoke was Benicios idea, and the director decided to go with it. In one scene, Hockney says in response to Fenster, "What did he just say?" That was

The only characters with the power of flight in the comics that have shown this ability in the movies are Magneto and Storm (although Storm was manipulating wind currents to levitate herself, and Magneto was only able to levitate by standing on metal - presumably he wears shoes with metal sole-plates to do this in other occasions).
