Another set of movie trivia

Posted on 05:33 by Unknown
Already I have posted few trivia about hollywood movies. Here is another list of few interesting movie trivia. To see previous post about trivia, click here..

Casino Royale is the first bond film in the series to show Bond as a rookie in MI6. In all the other bond films, he had been a spy for long time.

Daniel Craig is the first actor to play James Bond who is younger than the series itself.
Quantum of Solace is a direct sequel to Casino Royale and begins as a continuation, just after few moments from the end of Casino Royale. But Bond is seen wearing 3 piece suit at the end of Casino Royale, and a different 2 piece suit in the beginning of Quantum of Solace.
 

None of the music used in Kill Bill was original. All were from Tarantino’s music collections.
In Spiderman, The scene in which Peter catches Mary Jane's lunch on the tray has no Computer Graphics involved. Tobey Maguire did it by himself by placing some sticky substance in his palm, and practiced quite a lot times and achieved it exactly what it is seen on the screen. 

Halley Joel Osment, the kid who acted as Android David, never blinks his eyes throughout the movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence, as his role David is an android in the movie.

Almost every shot contains an animal, usually a dog in the movie Children of Men. 
In The Matrix trilogy, one can see a greenish color dominating in many scenes. It’s actually a clue that, all scenes occur within the matrix have green overlay and the scenes in the real world are blue tinted.

The green color codes that are seen in The Matrix trilogy are actually mirror images of Japanese characters, along with English alphabets and numbers.
 

Eastern Promises is the only gangster genre movie without having the usage of guns even in a single frame.
In City of Angels, the angels rarely blink when they are shown. Nicholas Cage actually practiced not blinking and was able to do it for several minutes by the time the film was done. However, once he became human he was able to blink all he wanted.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was the only person on the set strong enough to lift the machine gun his character Terminator used in the Cyberdyne shootout scene in Terminator 2: the judgment day.

Movie Trivia - I

Posted on 03:25 by Unknown

Well.. other than watching movies, I am much interested in know the facts and information about a movie, its production, behind the screen, etc.. Here it is. Some of the such trivia of Hollywood movies, which I have come across.

In Stanley Kubrick's visually enchanting movie 2001 A Space Odyssey, aside from the film's music, no sound is heard in the space sequences. This is because technically in space, there is no sound.
 
One of the reasons why Francis Ford Coppola finally agreed to direct the film The Godfather was to settle his debt to Warner Brothers production house.

The total footage shot for 2001 – A space odyssey was some 200 times the final length of the film.

The Pussy Wagon which Uma Thurman drives in the movie Kill Bill is actually its director Quentin Tarantino's car.

For the movie Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola shot nearly 200 hours of footage, but the final run time was 153 minutes.

While filming Eastern Promises, one day after shooting, Viggo Mortensen, lead actor of the film, went to a pub without washing off his tattoos or even changing out of his costume. People in the pub became very frightened of him, assuming he was a real member of Vory v Zakone, the crime organization which is portrayed in the movie.

The Dark Knight is the first Batman feature film that doesn't have the word "Batman" in its title.

Rose says "Jack" 80 times in Titanic, whereas Jack says “Rose” 50 times.   
In The Dark Knight, the Joker's distinctive tongue flip grew out of Heath Ledger's own habit of doing that.
