- Comment: Yes
Michael Moore made a cameo. He also went
on to make great movies like "Bowling
For Columbine" and "Fahrenheit
9/11". Also was it just me or did
it seem like all the American characters
were played by Canadian actors and vice/versa?

- In the scene with all the main characters
at the airport (Bogart, Henreid, Bergman,
and the two nazi generals) the plane behind
them is being checked over by the airport
workers. Since the model of the plane
was much smaller than an actual airplane,
the crew members working on the plane were
played by midgets! - casamann
- The original cast the producers and director
considered for the film was ex-prez Ronald
Reagan as Rick, Ann Sheridan as Ilsa, and
a woman as the piano player Sam! practically
the entire cast of the finished film was considered
"second best". who knew that
this "second best" would be thought
of for years to come as the greatest cast

- Most people think it's a goof when the whale
in the water blinks at Tom Hanks and then
disappears into nothing. This actually meant
that the whole whale itself was an hallucination.
- kyara
- Can't say that this is true or not, but
the one package that Tom Hanks does not open
and keeps the whole time on the island, had
a satellite phone in it. Puts a whole new
perspective to the movie I think. - Floyddog
- Comment: If
you want to be sure of what the real contents
of the package are Rent the DVD and follow
these directions: On the Special Features
Disc Main Menu Select "Video And

- Originally, the director Mike Nichols had
hoped to have a whole bomb-group, 36 WW2 aircrafts,
flown to Europe for the filming. It turned
out to be too expensive, and it would anyhow
have been very difficult to find so many WW2
bombers that could be made airworthy. - Olav
Westerman
- The airbase, complete with a concrete runway
and several buildings, was built specifically
for the movie in Mexico. - Olav
Westerman
- Most of the 17 B-25 bombers were former
firefighting tankers assembled from all over
USA and Canada. The turrets and guns were
fake items bolted to the airframes. Even the
camera-plane with its Cinerama-nose was painted
in war-paint and took part in the scene where
the whole squadron is taking off. - Olav
Westerman
- The aerial director, Johnny Jordan died
during the filming. He always refused to wear
a safety-harness, and fell out of the camera-plane
at 2,000 feet while filming a formation of
B-25s over the Gulf of Mexico. He had previously
lost one of his legs, filming You Only Live
Twice, when he sat with his camera in the
open door of a helicopter and another helicopter
came too close and cut his leg with its rotor-blade.
- Olav Westerman
- When the shooting of the movie was finished,
the company had a hard time getting all the
B-25s sold. Some went to museums and some
to collectors who kept them airworthy, while
some were just left rotting away, waiting
for someone interested. One of the aircraft
had so corroded wing panels, that the new
owner had a steel-bar welded between the upper
sides of the wings, over the fuselage, so
the plane could make its last flight to its
new home without breaking its wings. - Olav
Westerman
- The B25 bomber that lies burning after a
"crash" was perfectly airworthy
before that scene. It was suspended above
a gasoline-filled pit in the ground. The gasoline
was ignited and the cameras rolled. It was
not planned that the plane should be severely
damaged, but after a number of retakes it
had turned to a wreck, and was buried on the
spot. (Source: Aircraft magazines) - Olav

- The big-wigs in charge knew that, in order
to be eligible for an academy award, they
had to write an original song for the movie
(Cassie's solo "Let Me Dance For You").
Cassie's Broadway song is "Music and
The Mirror", a much better song, although
they are very similar. Also, Cassie sings
"What I Did For Love" in the movie
to emphasize her relationship with Zach (Michael
Douglas), but in the Broadway show Diana sings
it to emphasize the dancers' love of dancing.

What's with the gay comment? Can anyone explain

- Explanation:
It's not one of Disney's
hidden sexual jokes, no sir. You see,
back in the days the word "gay"
meant happy and full of fun. It stands
for cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement
and merry. It's an old-fashioned word.
- Writer, director, and actor Orson Welles
was in his early twenties when he made what
is considered his greatest film. - casamann
- Comment: Orson
Welles was actually 21 when here starred
in & directed Citizen Kane. The same
age as John Singleton when he directed
Boys N the Hood. (Source: Most movie trivia

- Citizen Kane is actually about William Randolph

- Kevin Smith was supposed to play the part
of Randal, but as a director he had to spend
more time infront of the camera, so he decided
to take pick a character with less dialogue;
Silent Bob. - Obese
- Correction:
Yes Kevin Smith wrote the part of Randell
for himself (hence all the funny one liners)
but he gave up the part not to spend more
time directing but because he realized
that he can't act so he choose a character
that doesn't speak..... learn your shit
obese. (Source: The Kevin Smith documentary)
- marcera
- Kevin Smith has made 4 movies, but three
of them form kind of a trilogy: Clerks, Mallrats
and Chasing Amy. They all have same characters: Jay and
Silent Bob. They have references between movies;
In Chasing Amy, Allissa talks about a girl
that died in a pool and a girl that fucked
a dead guy, both appear (on and off camera)
in Mallrats/Clerks. - Obese
- Comment: Obese,
you are a retard. No fuck the movies are
linked. If you want real trivia how about
the fact that Randal Graves, from Clerks,
and Brodie Bruce, from Mallrats, are related
by their mutual cousin Walter (not Walt
"fanboy" Flanagan, but the Walter
who died sucking his own dick and the
Walter that got a few cats stuck up his
ass... Learn your shit...) - J
- In the opening scenes Sylvester Stallone
is seen climbing up a steep mountainside.
The camera shows a guy from behind, actually
climbing, and when the camera zooms in, a
helicopter passes between the guy and the
camera. When the chopper has passed, the guy
watches up, and we se his face: Stallone.
In slow-motion you can see that the chopper
is optically added to hide the cut when the
scene shifts from a stand in on a real mountainside,
to Stallone on the studio mountain, which
was a copy of the real mountain. - Olav
Westerman
- The helicopter that tumbles down and explodes
was a big model, several feet long, and two

- The film made by Spielberg was actually
written by the man himself! - casamann
- Correction: Actually,
I believe that the script was not originally
written by Spielberg, but as revised so
much by him that the original writer didn't
take credit, leaving Spielberg to take
credit for himself. So, that is partially
correct. (Source: Myself) - Nikki
- Comment:
It was actually Paul Schrader
(Taxi, Raging Bull) that first wrote
Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
It was completely rewritten by Spielberg
because, to be frank, it wasn't very
good. Schrader's explanation for why
his version wasn't used: "I said,
'I refuse to send off to another world,
as the first example of earth's intelligence,
a man who wants to go and set up a
McDonald's franchise,' and Steven
[Spielberg] said, 'That's exactly
the guy I want to send.'" Spielberg
changed the script around so much
that it had very little resemblance
to Schrader's original script, and
therefore Schrader refused to take
credit for the movie. (Source: FilmForce:

- Brandon Lee died during a mishap on the
set. A scene required a gun to be loaded,
cocked, and then pointed at the camera. Because
of the close-range of the shot, the bullets
loaded had real brass caps, but no powder.
After the cut, the propsmaster (not the armsmaster
- he had left the set for the day) dry-fired
the gun to get the cock off, knocking an empty
cartridge into the barrel of the gun. The
next scene to be filmed involving that gun
was the rape of Shelly. The gun was loaded
with blanks (which usually contain double
or triple the powder of a normal bullet to
make a loud noise). Lee entered the set carrying
a bag of groceries containing an explosive
blood pack. The script called for Funboy (Michael
Massee) to shoot Eric Draven (Lee) as he entered
the room, triggering the blood pack. The cartridge
that was stuck in the barrel was blasted at
Lee through the bag he was carrying, killing
him. The footage of his death was destroyed
without being developed. Lee is the son of
martial arts legend Bruce Lee, who died in
mysterious circumstances before completing
Game of Death (1978). (Source: imdb.com)
