from the CD version of the soundtrack. - Cathy
- In Election, Matthew Broderick, who played
Jim McCallister, holds the job as museum tour
guide in the end. But in the original script,
Jim sells Saturns in Washington D.C. - Dana
- The director is very pro-realism, so he
almost only used real high-school students
to play the parts of the other students. Even
most of the speaking-parts. - Obese
- Election was filmed at Papillion - La Vista
High school, in La Vista, Nebraska. Filmed
during the school year, they had no choice
but to use actual students from the school.
To be able to film, you had to wear clothing
that would "blend" in to the back
ground. Before filming, they painted over
all existing school mascots and changed the
signs and posters to coordinate with the name
of the high school in the movie. Papillion
- La Vista High school's mascot is a Monarch.

- The "Zeros" in the film were,
of course, modified North American AT-6:s,
and the plane that explodes in mid-air was
a large radio-controlled model, as even the
four-engined B-29 that passes by in a short
scene, and some of the Zeros and P-51:s in
the background in the airfield-bombing sequence
were. - Olav Westerman

- In one of the scenes where Bruce Lee sneaks
out of his room, he encounters several ninja-type
guards and has to fight them. Well one of
the men (dressed all in black) is Jackie Chan.
Bruce Lee has him in a headlock while kicking
another guy. Well I guess in real life Jackie

- You will probably remember the scene where
the young boy lures the alien with Reese's
pieces. This was originally not the candy
considered. Spielberg was going to go with
m+m's, but he didn't get the rights. Reese's
were the replacement. - casamann
- I was amazed when I found this. At the beginning
when the aliens are looking for plant life,
the camera follows E.T., and several trees
pass in front of the camera. At one point,
you hear a hiss or a growl. After several
viewings, I found that the hiss was actually
coming from a tree with a face! It is hard
to notice since it is dark, but as the tree
begins to disappear to the right, you even
see a mouth closing slightly! - myname
- Harrison Ford had a role in the movie as
the Principal but those scenes were removed,

- The voice of ET was done by a 60 yr old
woman named Marin County without her false

- Comment: According
to the Internet Movie Database Ben Burtt
(E.T's voice design) overheard Pat Welsh
talking in a camera store and asked her
to audition for the voice of E.T. the
Extra-Terrestrial (1982). Chain smoking
lead to her raspy voice, which was used
simultaneously with Debra Winger in the
film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982).
Marin County is not mentioned anywhere.

- In Nightmare on Elm Street the movie Nancy
is watching on TV is Evil Dead, so to thank
Wes Craven Sam Raimi placed a replica freddy
glove in one of the fruit cellar scenes and
you can see it if you look hard enough. -
Ash
- Correction: Just
to clarify, the Freddy glove in the shed
was not the first interplay between the
directors and was not a thanks resulting
from Evil Dead playing in Nightmare. It
began with Raimi's placement of a movie
poster for The Hills Have Eyes, and early
Craven film, in the basement in Evil Dead.
Craven then reciprocated. (Source: Knowledge)

- One of the more memorable sounds,
the 360-degree turning of Regan's head,
was actually made by twisting a sound
crew member's old leather wallet in

- The actress who plays Chris MacNeil,
Regan's mother, was thrown on her coccyx
(tailbone) in one scene, and was seriously
injured. - Dana

To achieve the frozen breath effect
in Regan's room, the entire room was

- In the infamous "orgy" scene in
"Eyes Wide Shut", computer animated

- Eyes wide shut and all of the other Kubrick-films

"simply don't believe in it". -
Obese
- Correction:
Kubrick made three movies in Stereo. "Spartacus",
"2001: A Space Odyssey", and
"Eyes Wide Shut". 2001 was intended
to be a reflective and contemplative film,
fully immersing the viewer and Kubrick
opted NOT to take the minimalist approach
with it. He insisted it be in the best
of everything, color, sound, film, all
of it. - Draugnar
- Here something interesting I dug up. In
classical mythology Castor and Pollux are
twins, the children of Zeus and Leda. The
twins purportedly hatched from an egg and
were the brothers of Helen of Troy. Ancient
Romans sometimes confused Castor and Pollux
with Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders
of that city depicted on coins each wearing
half an eggshell. - The name of Nicholas Cage's
(and Travolta's) character in this movie is
Castor Troy, who has a brother named Pollux
Troy. - Webmaster

- In the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off, I
am sure there were scenes present in the theatre
that were removed for the home video version
could you verify that for me please? There
was a scene at Sloan's place where they will
be disrobing to go swimming. Sloan wants to
remove her clothing but there is no where
to be covered and Cameron is sitting on a
chair supposedly catatonic. So she waves her
hand in front of his face tries to get a reaction
to see if he's all there before she proceeds
to shed her outermost layer of clothing. Cameron's
eyes move and look at her and then go back
to staring forward. So that later when he
has come out of his state of catonia and Sloan
asks if he saw her changing in the back this
has more potency. Am I imaging that this happened
or was this a director's cut?? - Karen
- Comment: You
are right, this scene is in the movie.
In fact I have seen this movie a couple
of times (German TV-version, though) and
this scene has always been a part. - LibbyDoe

- Near the end of the movie, it show the USS
Nimitz CVN-68 pulling into Pearl Harbor, HI.
At the time this movie was made, the USS Nimitz
was stationed out of Norfork, VA. The actual
ship that they filmed pulling into Pearl Harbor
was the USS Kitty Hawk CV-63. What they did
was to make the 3 an 8 using white sheets
to show that it was the Nimitz pulling into
Pearl Harbor and not the Kitty Hawk. I know,
because I was on the flight deck of the Kitty
Hawk when we pulled into Pearl Harbor in Feb
80. - Gil

- Did you know if you listen carefully when
Marlin, the dad clownfish was yelling "Nemo
NO!" when nemo was being taken-away,

- William H. Macy (pleasantville) was originally
casted to do the voice-dubbing for Marlin,
dad clownfish. But Pixar isn't happy with
the result, so they thought of a real comedian
actor to do the job, and that's Albert Brooks.
- strategicanamorphic

- In this movie a Fairchild C-119 with about
half a dozen men and some heavy equipment
onboard is forced to land in the Sahara desert.
The men's only chance to survive is to build
a new, smaller plane from the wreck and fly
out of the desert. On screen the actors build
a plane, the "Phoenix", but for
the real flying scenes another plane, that
resembled the movie-prop, was constructed
from wood, metal and assorted aircraft-parts.
It was flown by the legendary stuntflyer Paul
Mantz, but in one of the first flights for
the cameras the plane came in too low, the
big landing-skis hit the ground and the plane
crashed, killing Mantz and injuring another
stuntman. The actual flight is seen in the
movie, but the scene is cut before the crash
occurs. (The plane is seen in distance, flying
from right to left in front of some sand-dunes).
To complete the movie, the company modified
a very rare North American O-47A to resemble
the "Phoenix". It is seen flying
overhead in a couple of very short scenes
near the end of the movie. - Olav

- When Seth Gecko brings back hamburgers to
the hotel the bag says "Big Kahuna Burgers"
which is the place that Jules was commenting
about in Pulp Fiction. - Ash
- Kahuna burgers are also

Romance (1993). No wonder, because
Tarantino wrote the script for True Romance.
- I just found out that in the bar When George
Clooney, Quentin Tarantino And Juliette Lewis
are drinking it was shot backwards. When Juliette
Lewis says "Yes I'll have another thank

After that she went to the bathroom and they
replaced her shot glass of water to a shot
glass of real whiskey. So when she first drinks
in the scene that face she makes is an actual

- If you notice that the cast from this movie
