1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Yards (1999)?
a.		The song "A Thousand Dreams of You" was probably played as background music, since the published sheet music cover showed pictures of Sylvia Sidney and Henry Fonda. It is known that Fonda recorded the song on 6 November 1936, but his singing does not appear in the film.
b.		For Leos and Willies fight, the actors agreed to actually fight each other. Although they wore knee and elbow pads, everything on screen is actually Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg beating each other up. There are no stunts and the entire thing was taken in two takes from three different angles. The next day, the actors were black and blue.
c.		The name of the café that Hilary Swanks character works in is, "On the Waterfront Cafe".
d.		According to William Finley, the record press in which his Winslow character was disfigured was a real pressing plant (it was an injection-molding press at an Ideal Toy Co. plant). He was worried about whether the machine would be safe, and the crew assured that it was. The press was fitted with foam pads (which resemble the casting molds in the press), and there were chocks put in the center to stop it from closing completely. Unfortunately, the machine was powerful enough to crush the chocks that it gradually kept closing. It was Finleys speed and timing that saved him from truly being hurt, as he got his head out just in time. Incidentally, his scream in the scene was real.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Yards (1999)?
a.		Gaylen Ross refused to scream during the film. She felt that Fran was a strong female character, and if she screamed, the strength would be lost. She told this to George A. Romero once, when he told her to scream. He never asked her again.
b.		When Bela Lugosi died in 1956, he was buried wearing the black silk cape he wore for this film.
c.		The films primary antagonist, the fear entity Parallax, was chosen as part of a long-term strategy for successive films: Sinestro would be corrupted by Parallax and form his own Corps with Parallax as their power source, while other entities of emotional power (Ion, The Butcher, Ophidian, Adara, Proselyte, The Predator, Nekron and The Entity) and their Corps are planned to make an appearance.
d.		Just before the fight scene, Joaquin Phoenix really did hit Charlize Theron, and really took a tumble down the stairs.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Yards (1999)?
a.		During production of this film, Ingrid Bergman entered into an extra-marital affair with Roberto Rossellini and became pregnant. The resulting scandal in America effectively blacklisted her from the North American movie market and she was even condemned by politicians and religious figures. She was finally forgiven and welcomed back to America upon the success of Anastasia, but her Hollywood career was temporarily ended by this movie.
b.		The Tyrannosaurus Rex effects were achieved by means of a miniature remote-controlled puppet, a man in a suit, and a full-sized, 16-foot-tall robot. However, only a handful of shots involved the full-size robot, which had too narrow a range of movements to be convincing. The man in the suit proved equally cumbersome and was scrapped. Thus, most F/X shots were accomplished with the remote-control miniature and even some hand puppets.
c.		Although theatrically released in the fall of 2000, the film was shot during the spring and summer of 1998 and was originally slated for theatrical release in the fall of 1999. Studio and production problems, however, delayed the release for a full year.
d.		Robert Hardy was listed in UK trades when production started as being in this project

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Yards (1999)?
a.		When Chris and Mitch enter the plane, a background technician speaks "Final check: latitude 65 degrees, 19 minutes, longitude 44 degrees, 09 minutes." These coordinates lie in Russia just below the Arctic Circle near the White Sea, which was a key Soviet, now Russian Federation, naval and submarine base.
b.		The newscasters on the news that Leo watches are actual newscasters from the New York area.
c.		Actor Noe Sanchez was originally cast for the role of Cheapea, but due to scheduling conflicts and halts to production the role was recast.
d.		Joseph Fiennes went on to play Romeo in an audio production of Romeo & Juliet.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Yards (1999)?
a.		This was the first post-Alan Smithee film. For many years, a director who for whatever reason wished not to be credited for a movie would have his name replaced with the name "Alan Smithee". After the film An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn, the name was too well known, and so the Directors Guild of America decided to replace the name "Alan Smithee" with the name "Thomas Lee".
b.		The film was based on a real-life corruption scandal in the mid-1980s that involved the father of director James Gray.
c.		This is the third and final film in "The Heart" series.
d.		For the "Iron Man" trilogy, Jon Favreau thought of making the Iron Monger the main villain of the second film. Stane was going to be Starks friend and confidante in the first film, but then would become his enemy in the second installment. However, Favreau was worried how to handle The Mandarin, whom was to be the villain of the first film, so he decided to re-work the character into a behind-the-scenes presence and make Iron Monger the first villain.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Yards (1999)?
a.		With Hugh Jackmans brief cameo as Logan/Wolverine in this film, he is now the first actor to ever play the same comic book superhero in five different movies.
b.		The New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA) initially refused permission to film on its property. The filmmakers decided to film at an old abandoned freight yard and a studio set. Finally, a deal was reached allowing one scene to be shot inside the 207th Street Car Shop and Yard on NYCTA property.
c.		As a teenager, Mel Gibson was actually once called almost by an older boy, which was a deep insult to him. This inspired the line in the movie in which Jaguar Paw is called almost by one of the headhunters.
d.		Most of the cutaway scenes (Otis torturing cheerleaders, Baby masturbating with the skeleton, etc) were filmed in Rob Zombies basement after filming wrapped. He would invite cast members over to his house on the weekends and shoot the footage himself with a 16mm hand-held camera. With the exception of the shot of a setting sun, he created the opening credits the same way.
