Famous trivia from Hollywood movie : Zodiac (2007) - Part (3) Quiz
This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Zodiac (2007).
About the movie:
A San Francisco cartoonist becomes an amateur detective obsessed with tracking down the Zodiac killer.
1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Zodiac (2007)?
a.
Anthony Perkins
originally wanted to use a stunt woman for the scene where Duane throws Red out of the motel room.
Juliette Cummins
convinced Perkins to not use a stunt double and did her own stunt for that scene.
b.
The bar Paul Avery frequents in the film is called Mortis. Mortis is Latin for death.
c.
One ending that was considered was to have Humbert and Lolita get married in a state that allowed young people to wed; this ending was considered in order to appease the censors.
d.
In 1962, producer-director
Robert Aldrich
was preparing the prologue to
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
He chose a scene from
Parachute Jumper
and this film to document the fact that the young Jane was a flop as a movie star.
2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Zodiac (2007)?
a.
The puppets used neither of the industry standards of replaceable heads (like those used on
The Nightmare Before Christmas
) or replaceable mouths (like those used by Aardman Studios in
Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
) but instead used precision crafted clockwork heads, adjusted by hidden keys. This allowed for unprecedented subtlety, but was apparently even more painstaking than the already notoriously arduous animation. One animator even reported having recurring nightmares of adjusting his own facial expression in this fashion.
b.
When Robert comes face-to-face with Arthur Leigh Allen in the hardware store, the music playing is Baker Street by
Gerry Rafferty
. As this is Roberts "Sherlock Holmes" moment, this can hardly be coincidental.
c.
Donald Sutherland
reportedly wanted Lucien Wilbanks to be much more of a radical drunkard.
Joel Schumacher
wanted a mostly serious drama, and said it would be too much comic relief.
d.
When Japanese characters in the film refer to the date of the attack, they are actually saying "December 8," which is technically correct, as Japan is a day ahead of the U.S.; however, it is translated as "December 7" in the subtitles to avoid confusing U.S. audiences.
3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Zodiac (2007)?
a.
The producers hired a private investigator to track down the real-life Zodiac survivor, Mike Mageau.
b.
In his DVD commentary,
Francis Ford Coppola
claimed
The Godfather: Part II
was the first numbered sequel in film history. In actual fact, the British film
Quatermass 2
was the first (released 17 years earlier). The Godfather Part II is the first US film sequel to use such numbering though.
c.
Director
Eric Goldberg
animated the entire
Camille Saint-Saëns
segment himself. He had just finished co-directing
Pocahontas
and, quite literally, wanted to get back to the drawing board. The whole process took him about 9 months.
d.
In 2009
Navi Rawat
(Soroya) admitted that her wedding dress costume was so big and complicated to take on and off she had to have somebody hold it up for when she needed to use the bathroom.
4.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Zodiac (2007)?
a.
Though Callahans Diner was a set built for the film, the Callahans Diner logo and window script is identical to that used by Callahans Diner at 1213 Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, California. Its quite likely that members of the cast and/or crew of the film were familiar with the Santa Monica restaurant and used it as an art model for the San Francisco locale. The "Dirty Harry" reference inherent in the Diners name may simply be an added plus.
b.
Sean Connery
had a particularly bad working relationship with director
Stephen Norrington
. This was his last film before he decided to retire from acting.
c.
Atticus Finch is modeled on
Harper Lee
s own father, Amasa Lee, an attorney whose 1923 defense of a black client inspired the novels trial.
Gregory Peck
met with Amasa Lee - then 82 years old - and formed a strong bond with him. Unfortunately Lee died during filming, so his daughter Harper gave Peck his watch and chain. Peck was wearing that same watch and chain at the Academy Awards the following year when he won the Oscar for Best Actor.
d.
A new set of Starfleet uniforms was intended to be introduced in the film to be worn by the Enterprise-D crew. These new uniforms would have been similar to the television ones, except the collars would have been the same department color as the rest of the tunic and the rank pips would have been worn on the shoulder with a corresponding rank braid on the wrists. The uniforms were eventually nixed by producer
Rick Berman
. The decision was then made to use both the uniforms from
Star Trek: The Next Generation
as well as the uniforms from
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
. However, Playmates had already made an action figure line for the film with the Enterprise-D crew wearing the aborted uniforms. It was too late to retract the figures, which is the only place the aborted uniforms can be seen.
