Spikes pistol is a IMI Jericho 941, though the movie does not give enough clues to identify what round the pistol was chambered for. Jets pistol appears to be a Walther P99, but lack of detail makes identification and chambering difficult.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: What's Up, Doc? (1972)?
a.		Jean Harlows famous rain-barrel bath is recreated in her film Bombshell.
b.		When the film was released in 1956, it was enormously controversial for its extremely risqué subject matter. The Legion of Decency condemned the film for its "carnal suggestiveness". Francis Cardinal Spellman condemned the film in a stunning attack from the pulpit of St. Patricks Cathedral two days before the film opened, saying that the film had been "responsibly judged to be evil in concept" and was certain that it would "exert an immoral and corrupting influence on those who see it", and exhorted all Catholics to refrain from patronizing the film "under pain of sin". Cardinal Spellmans condemnation of the film led to the Legion of Decencys first-ever nationwide boycott of an American-made film produced by a major studio. All over the country, almost 20 million Catholics protested the film and picketed theaters that showed it. The Catholic boycott nearly killed the film; it was cancelled by 77% of theaters scheduled to show it, and it only made a meager $600,000 at the box office. The film was also condemned by Time Magazine, which called it the dirtiest American-made motion picture that had ever been legally exhibited. Surprisingly, despite the films sordid elements, the Production Code Administration gave it a seal of approval, but only after nearly a year of arguments. This was one of many examples of how the lax attitude of new Code official Geoffrey Shurlock, the successor at the PCA to the strict Catholic militant Joseph Breen, would lead to a schism with the Legon of Decency and the PCAs own downfall over the next few years. After this film, the PCA drifted farther and farther away from its traditional guidelines until it was replaced by the MPAA ratings system in 1968.
c.		The scene where Todd cries outside in the snow was done in one take. It was originally an interior scene, but when it started to snow, Peter Weir thought the scene might have more impact if it were done outside. The snow was already beginning to let up so it had to be done in one take. Fortunately, Ethan Hawke managed it.
d.		The stuntman portraying the gentleman sitting in the back seat of the convertible during the chase scene was knocked cold when his head hit the awning on the dock just before the car went off the dock.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: What's Up, Doc? (1972)?
a.		After Doris Day and Janis Paige first had worked together in Romance on the High Seas, Miss Paige had triumphed on Broadway as the feisty union official, Babe Williams, in the Tony Award-winning musical of 1954, "The Pajama Game." When Warner Bros., the former home lot of Janis and Doris, recast Babe Williams for the delightful 1957 film version, Babe then turned into - Doris Day!
b.		Barbra Streisand did not want to make this film, feeling it wasnt at all funny, and even went so far as to declare it would be a terrific flop.
c.		Producer Robert Stigwood insisted on including a Bee Gees song on the soundtrack because he was also the producer of Saturday Night Fever.
d.		Special Effects man Bob Keen had to go back and shoot more scenes after initial test screenings of the film found it too light.

b.		The t-shirts worn by the contestants in the hot dog eating contest display a yellow, red and turquoise logo, which is identical to New Mexico state license plates.
