Famous trivia from Hollywood movie : Thor (2011) - Part (6)

This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Thor (2011).

About the movie: The powerful but arrogant warrior Thor is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard and sent to live amongst humans on Earth, where he soon becomes one of their finest defenders.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Thor (2011)?
a.		Ann Sheridan is listed as a cast member in a modern source for the role of "Streetwalker," but she did not appear in the film. A streetwalker did appear near the start of the film, but it was not Sheridan.
b.		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.
c.		This was James Cagneys first film in more than 11 months because of litigation following the termination of his contract at Warner Bros.
d.		Its mentioned in passing that Thors hammer was forged inside "a dying star". This actually makes a modicum of scientific sense. When a very large star dies in a supernova, sometimes its remains collapse to form a "neutron star". These objects cram the mass of the sun into the size of a city, forming a new kind of matter nicknamed neutronium. A single teaspoon of this material would weigh billions of tonnes. If Mjolnir was made of this material, it would certainly explain its incredible weight.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Thor (2011)?
a.		Chronology: When numbering the scenes chronologically, then sorting them how they appear in the film, the pattern becomes more clear. The letters A-V will represent the color scenes (with A happening chronologically first, and V chronologically last), and the numbers 1-22 represent the black and white scenes chronologically. The scenes appear in the film like this: 1, V, 2, U, 3, T, 4, S, 5, R, 6, Q...20, C, 21, B, 22/A1 The two types of scenes alternate. The black and white scenes (numbers) start from the very beginning soon after the injury, and work forward to the climax at 22/A, while the color scenes (letters) work backward from the climax at 22/A. The climax scene (22/A) changes to color halfway through, showing the convergence of the two story lines.
b.		Kenneth Branagh asked Anthony Hopkins to improvise his reaction to Thors yelling at him in the banishment scene. Hopkins agreed, and when the scene was filmed many of the cast/crew present were sobbing. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston later said they had to struggle to keep their composure during filming that scene. Hiddleston later complimented Hopkins, to which he said, "Kens fantastic, isnt he?".
c.		The movies title comes from a line in the Lou Reed song "Heroin".
d.		Robert Rodriguez wrote the script back in 1993 after he wrote Desperado.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Thor (2011)?
a.		Two of Sesame Streets Muppets, Bert and Ernie, share their names with the films cop and cab driver, respectively, but its believed to be just a coincidence. While Karolyn Grimes, who played Zuzu, claimed that the two Muppets were named after the characters because the movie was Jim Hensons favorite, according to longtime Muppets head writer Jerry Juhl in an interview with The San Francisco Chronicle, Ernie and Bert were not named after the movies characters. Juhl said, "I was not present at the naming, but I was always positive the rumor was incorrect. Despite his many talents, Jim Henson had no memory for details like this. He knew the movie, of course, but would not have remembered the cop and the cabdriver. I was not able to confirm this with Jim before he died, but shortly thereafter I spoke to Jon Stone, Sesame Streets first producer and head writer and a man largely responsible for the shows format. He assured me that Ernie and Bert were named one day when he and Jim were studying the prototype puppets. They decided that one of them looked like an Ernie, and the other one looked like a Bert. The movie character names are purely coincidental."
b.		The Mayan temple was made up of three separate sets. The first was the facade overgrown with vines for the characters to walk up. The second was the top of the temple, where the majority of the film takes place. The third set was used for the underground shaft and tunnel scenes. Shots that show the entire temple from a distance were a blend of the sets and CGI.
c.		The post-credits scene was directed by The Avengers director Joss Whedon to connect his film with this one.
d.		The extras in the orphanage scene were reportedly all played by boys from a real Los Angeles orphanage.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Thor (2011)?
a.		This is Buster Crabbes last appearance in a serial in a loincloth. He was playing the part of Thunda, a character owned by Magazine Enterprises. Thunda is the only Tarzan clone to ever feature in a serial; Frank Frazetta did the art for his origin story, a story that appeared in "Thunda, King Of The Congo #1". Ironically, ThunDas comic book run only lasted six issues.
b.		At the beginning of the movie when Steve Martin (Neal Page) races Kevin Bacon (Taxi racer), is a direct reference to the scene in the movie Quicksilver in which the character played by Bacon is racing someone on a bicycle.
c.		This is Renee Russos first film in six years. Russo said that it was her daughter who persuaded her to look for work on the film after a long sabbatical.
d.		Filmed inside Morgan Freemans Madidi restaurant and his Ground Zero Blues Club.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Thor (2011)?
a.		The chairs in the dining room were later added to both the Disneyland Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean attractions. In the Haunted Mansion, the chair appears in a portrait of the updated attic, belonging to one of the brides murdered husbands. In both the updated versions of the Disneyland and Magic Kingdom Pirates attractions, it is in the final treasure room scene as the chair Captain Jack Sparrow is sitting in.
b.		James Stewart only agreed to play a cameo role in the film because John Wayne had specifically requested him. His short time on the film proved to be trying. The bad acoustics of the huge, hollow sound stages worsened his hearing difficulties, and he stayed by himself most of the time. He and Wayne muffed their lines so often in the main scene between them that director Don Siegel accused them of not trying hard enough. Waynes reply was a variation on an old John Ford line, advising the director, "If youd like the scene done better, youd better get a couple of better actors." Later on, the star told friends that Stewart had known his lines, but hadnt been able to hear his cues, and that in turn had caused his own fumbling. Because Stewarts movie career had ended several years before, he was only paid $50,000 for his part.
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.		According to Kevin Feige, the filmmakers placed the Foo Fighters song "Walk" in the film because they thought its lyrics were strangely appropriate for the film: "If you asked two months ago if we would have a Foo Fighters song in this movie, I would have said I dont think so. But we heard the song, and it just has these eerie appropriate lyrics and themes. Ken in particular just loved it with these lyrics about learning to walk again and the way that fit the themes of the movie about redemption, learning to be a hero."

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Thor (2011)?
a.		Sid Phillips is said to be inspired by a former Pixar employee of the same last name who was known to disassemble toys and use the parts to build bizarre creations.
b.		The agent that grabs up a bow when Thor is attempting to recover his hammer is referred to as Agent Barton, and appears in the credits as Clint Barton. Clint Barton is the real name of Hawkeye, the archer hero in the Avengers comics.
c.		In the original script, Chloe was a closeted lesbian
d.		Director David Fincher shot over 1,500 reels of film, more than three times the usual amount for a 120 minute film.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Thor (2011)?
a.		According to Don Payne, Jane Foster was more of a stereotypical scientist (dry and skeptical), but Natalie Portman wished to revise the character to make her more poetic: "She thought Jane could be someone who thinks outside of the box, someone whose theories are considered outlandish and are frowned upon by the scientific community. But its the kind of thinking that leads to great discoveries. When Thor arrives, shes willing to take a leap of faith - and she has to pay the consequences for it."
b.		Nigel Lythgoe was the choreographer, but today hes perhaps better known as the head judge and producer of So You Think You Can Dance.
c.		Although she later admitted that she didnt intend to do so, Audrey Hepburn retired from films after this role, turning down all parts offered to her in order to devote time to raising her children. She would eventually return to the screen several more times, beginning with Robin and Marian.
d.		Filmed in 1957, not released until 1961.
