was Esmeralda!
# "Boat, The" (1981) (mini)

- Features the Zero-X from _Thunderbirds are GO (1966)_ (qv), also written
by 'Gerry Anderson' (qv).
# "Crossroads" (1964)
- For many years, each 25 minute episode was recorded in one take without

- An early draft of the script ended with Craven turned into a tree.
# "Emergency" (1972)

Throughout the rest of the show, the firemen are on the phone to anyone,
trying to find out what they missed.
# "ER" (1994)
- Carol Hathaway ('Julianna Margulies' (qv)) was supposed to successfully

audiences and was rewritten into an attempted sucide. For the first episode,
Margulies was credited as a guest star.
# "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper" (1992)
- The first episode is filmed in the same set as _"Growing Pains" (1985)_ (qv).

- Unused footage from movies like _Top Gun (1986)_ (qv) and

- Originally written by 'Larry McMurtry' (qv) in 1971 as a movie script. He
intended 'John Wayne' (qv) (qv) to play Call, 'James Stewart' (qv) to play
Gus, and 'Henry Fonda' (qv) to play Jake Spoon, with
'Peter Bogdanovitch' (qv) directing. Wayne turned it down, and the project
was shelved. Ten years later McMurtry bought the script back and wrote the
book (on which the series was based).
# "Lost in Space" (1965)
- 'Carol O'Connor' (qv) was considered for the role of Dr. Smith.
- The space ship was originally named ``Gemini XII'', but was changed to
avoid confusion with the then-current NASA program.

used in _"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" (1964)_ (qv),
_"Time Tunnel" (1966)_ (qv), _"Land of the Giants" (1968)_ (qv), and
_"Batman" (1966)_ (qv).
# "Maverick" (1957)
- 'James Garner' (qv) claimed that during filming one day they had less than
an hour until overtime would have to be paid, but they still needed to
shoot a complicated fight scene. Spying a group of tall weeds, he suggested
toat he throw his opponent into the weeds and have the fight proceed with
much shaking of the weeds, and people being ejected from the weeds,
only to immediately run back in. The results were extremely funny, and
thus the cast and crew began to look for ``funny'' ways to cut corners,
turning the show into a semi-comedy.
# "New Avengers, The" (1978)
- Purdey's character was originally called ``Charlie'', but this was changed
when it was realized that there was a perfume with the same name. It is
rumoured that 'Joanna Lumley' (qv) suggested the name Purdey, after the most
expensive and revered shotgun in the world.
# "Patty Duke Show, The" (1963)
- For most of the scenes featuring for both Patty and Kathy, an uncredited
actress played ``the back of either Patty's or Kathy's head'', as
appropriate.
# "Prime Suspect" (1990) (mini)
- 'Lynda La Plante' (qv) made this film after watching reality-TV crime shows.
After calling Scotland Yard and learning that there were only seven female
DCIs, she interviewed one of them ('Jackie Moulton' (qv)), who impressed
her so much that La Plante decided to base the miniseries on her.
# "Prisoner" (1978)
- In the UK, the series was called "Prisoner - Cell Block H", to avoid
confusion from mixing it up with _"Prisoner, The" (1968)_ (qv).
# "Schattenmann, Der" (1995) (mini)
- People on the street can be seen using bags from the ``Bellheim'' warehouse.
The owner of this fictious warehouse was the main character in director

# "Search" (1972)
- The pilot movie was originally titled "Probe".
# "Sesame Street" (1969)
- Ernie and Bert are named after characters in
_It's a Wonderful Life (1946)_ (qv).
# "Space" (1985) (mini)
- Norman Grant ('James Garner' (qv)) was a Republican senator in the book
upon which this was based, but the character's political affiliation, along
with other factors, were changed to suit Garner's personal (Democratic)
politics.
# "Stand, The" (1994) (mini)
- Filmed on 225 locations all over the USA.
# "Star Trek" (1966)
- There were two pilots made. The origional starred 'Majel-Barrett' (qv) as
Second in command and 'Jeffery Hunter' (qv) as the Captain. This pilot
was rejected and NBC ordered a second one. The only character that
was the same between the two pilots was Spock who was played by
'Leonard Nimoy' (qv) in both pilots.
# "Strong Poison" (1987) (mini)
- During rehearsals for the scene where Wimsey ('Edward Ptherbridge' (qv)) and
Climpson ('Shirley Cain' (qv) have tea together, Wimsey's monocle fell
into his tea. Despite numerous attempts, they could not recreate this
hilarious incident for the camera.
# "Svensson, Svensson" (1994)
- Each episode is taken twice before a studio audience. The two takes are
then cut together to one episode.
# "T.J. Hooker" (1982)
- 'Bob Grogan' (qv), one of the detectives who worked on the Hillside Strangler
case in Los Angeles, was hired as a technical advisor for the show,
but was fired when he criticized rewrites of his ideas.
# "Tales of the City" (1993) (mini)
- Over 15 years several companies (including Warner Brothers and HBO) bought
options to film this story, based on 'Armistead Maupin' (qv)'s novel.
Finally this 6 part miniseries was produced by Britain's Channel 4, San
Francisco's local PBS station KQED and PBS' ``American Playhouse''.
- PBS bowed to the pressure of the right and dropped plans to film the second
volume of the series with Channel 4. Although Channel 4 was reportedly still
interested in the project, it chose not to proceed alone.
# "Time Tunnel" (1966)
- The props used in this show, (such as the computers and guns) also were
used in _"Lost in Space" (1965)_ (qv),
_"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" (1964)_ (qv),
_"Land of the Giants" (1968)_ (qv), and _"Batman" (1966)_ (qv).
# "Turn-On" (1969)
- Cancelled ten minutes into the first show, February 5th, 1969.
# "Twin Peaks" (1990)
- DIRTRADE(David Lynch): [singer]: 'Julee Cruise' (qv).
# "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" (1964)
- The props used in this show, (such as the computers and guns) also were
used in _"Lost in Space" (1965)_ (qv), _"Time Tunnel" (1966)_ (qv),
_"Land of the Giants" (1968)_ (qv), and _"Batman" (1966)_ (qv).
# "Wheels" (1978) (mini)
- Reported to be a very loose interpretation of the events of
'Lee Iacocca' (qv)'s life during the time that he was developing the Mustang
for Ford. The vehicle shown in the series, called the Hawk, was
a customized Ford Mustang.
# 'Crocodile' Dundee (1986)
- The wild and ferocious buffalo that Mick Dundee pacified was drugged.
- The ``quotes'' around ``Crocodile'' in the title were added for the American
release to ensure people didn't think that Dundee was a crocodile.
# 'Til We Meet Again (1940)
- Illness caused director 'Edmund Goulding' (qv) to be replaced for much of the
film. 'Anatole Litvak' (qv) shot approximately 26% of the film,
'William Keighley' (qv) 4%, and 'William K. Howard' (qv) shot a few retakes.
Goulding shot 70% of the picture around bouts of pneumonia.
- Pregnancy caused 'Geraldine Fitzgerald' (qv) to miss several shooting days.
A double was used where possible.
# 1776 (1972)
- The 176 minute extended version of "1776" is available on laserdisc.
It contains 35 minutes cut from the original videotape release,
including the song, ``Cool, Considerate Men''.
# 1900 (1977)
- Original uncut version is 5.5 hours long, and features pornographic sequences
with Alfredo, Olmo, and [Stefania Casini]. It also featured prepubescent
boys examining each other's erections which would probably qualify as child
pornography in the US.
# 1999 - Nen no natsu yasumi
- All the boys in this film were played by girls
# 20,000 Years in Sing Sing (1933)
- 'James Cagney' (qv) was originally set for the male lead.
# 200 Motels (1971)
- Filmed in the same studio as _2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)_ (qv). The black
monolith from that film is visible.
- The role of Jeff was originally intended for Mothers bassist
'Jeff Simmons' (qv) who quit the group just prior to filming. Needing a
replacement, 'Frank Zappa' (qv) hired 'Wilfred Brambell' (qv). Within a few
days, Brambell walked off the set in a rage and Zappa had to replace him.
During a crew meeting, Zappa announced that he would give the part to the
next person who walked into the room. 'Martin Lickert' (qv), who was
'Ringo Starr' (qv)'s chauffuer, was thus cast in the role upon returning
from the limo with a pack of cigarettes for Starr.
# 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
- Director 'Stanley Kubrick' (qv) originally planned narration for the
prehistoric scenes.
- Kubrick planned to have 'Alex North' (qv) (who wrote the score for Kubrick's
_Spartacus (1960)_ (qv)) write a musical score especially for the film.
During filming, Kubrick played classical music on the set to create the
right mood. Delighted with the effect, he decided to use classical music in
the finished product. North's score has subsequently been released as
``Alex North's 2001'' (Varese/Sarabande 5400).
- Generally panned by critics when first released. Kubrick subsequently cut
20 minutes for its public release, but still failed to win over the film
critics. Public reaction however, was completely different.
- Incrementing each letter of ``HAL'' gives you ``IBM''.
'Arthur C Clarke' (qv) (co-screenwriter) claimed this was unintentional, and
if he had noticed it before it was too late, he would have changed it.
- HAL's voice was originally going to be performed by 'Martin Balsam' (qv),
but Kubrick decided that he sounded too emotional. 'Douglas Rain' (qv)
got the role, and never visited the set.
- Kubrick had several tons of sand imported, washed, and painted for the moon
surface scenes.
- Multiple references to birthdays: Dr Floyd's daughter, Frank Poole, HAL.
- HAL sings ``Daisy'' as he is shut down; this was the first song ever played
by a non-mechanical computer.
- Clarke once said: ``If you understand 2001 completely, we failed. We
wanted to raise far more questions than we answered.''
- The 1968 Oscar for best makeup went to _Planet of the Apes (1968)_ (qv).
It is rumoured that 2001 missed out because judges were convinced that real
apes were used, which was not the case.
- CAMEO(Vivienne Kubrick): (daughter of Stanley) Dr Floyd's daughter.
- DIRTRADE(Stanley Kubrick): [zoom]: retrieving Frank Poole's body.
- DIRTRADE(Stanley Kubrick): [three-way]: man vs HAL vs aliens.
- DIRTRADE(Stanley Kubrick): [faces]: Dave Bowman going through the Star Gate.
- DIRTRADE(Stanley Kubrick): [114]: The Jupiter explorer's serial number is
``CRM-114''.
# 2010 (1984)
- One of the characters is ``Kirbuck'', which is an anagram of ``Kubrick''.
'Stanley Kubrick' (qv) directed _2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)_ (qv).
- Kubrick had all models and sets from _2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)_ (qv)
destroyed to prevent their reuse, thus the model of the spaceship Discovery
had to be constructed from pictures.
- CAMEO(Arthur C. Clarke): sitting on a park bench in front of the White
House, feeding the pigeons.
- CAMEO(Arthur C. Clarke): on the cover of Time Magazine, as the
American President.
- CAMEO(Stanley Kubrick): on the cover of Time Magazine, as the Soviet
premier.
# 3 Godfathers (1948)
- For the scene where Deputy Curly ('Hank Worden' (qv)) has trouble pulling
a mule about a train, director 'John Ford' (qv) rigged the reins to pull
backwards whenever Worden pulled forward.
- Ford had a greensman water a cactus overnight to allow it to be squeezed
for water.
# 3 Men and a Baby (1987)
- When Jack's mother comes to visit Mary, you can see in the background what
appears to be a little boy standing in a doorway. There is a rumor that
this is the ghost of a little boy who died in the apartment in which the
film was shot. This rumor is false, as the interiors were all shot on a
sound stage in a movie studio. The ``ghost'' is actually a cardboard cut-out
of Jack wearing a tuxedo. This prop appears later in the film, when Mary's
mother comes to collect her.
# 39 Steps, The (1935)
- DIRCAMEO(Alfred Hitchcock): about 7 minutes in, tossing some litter
as Richard and Annabella run from the music hall.
# 5 Fingers (1952)
- The real Cicero was 'Elyesa Bazna' (qv), an Albanian. In his book,
``I Was Cicero'' he retells the story, listing his collaborators as
a chambermaid and his niece. The character of the countess was a Hollywood
fabrication.
# 55 Days at Peking (1963)
- Director 'Nicholas Ray' (qv) walked off the set and never worked again in
Hollywood. 'Andrew Marton' (qv) and 'Guy Green' (qv) finished the film.
# 8 Seconds (1994)
- 'Luke Perry' (qv) and 'Stephen Baldwin' (qv) learned to ride bulls, and
performed some of their own stunts.
# About Last Night... (1986)
- The original title of this film was ``Sexual Perversity in Chicago'' (taken
from the play it is based on). The title was changed after many newspapers
and TV stations refused to run ads for a film with such a title.
# Above the Law (1988)
- Due to film schedule constraints, the sequences at ``Chicago Summer CES''
(Consumer Electronic Show) were actually filled at the November Comdex
(Computer Dealer Expo) in Las Vegas. The film crew carried press
credentials and pretended to be a news show filming about the products in
the booth.
# Abyss, The (1989)
- Director 'James Cameron' (qv) contacted 'Orson Scott Card' (qv) before
filming began with the possibility of producing a book based on the film.
Scott initially told his agent that he doesn't do ``novelizations'', but
when she told him that the director was Cameron, he agreed to consider it.
The script arrived, and Card signed on after receiving assurances from
Cameron that he would be free to develop his ``novel'' the way he wanted
to. After a meeting with Cameron, Card immediately wrote the first three
chapters, which dealt with events concerning Bud and Lindsay Brigman that
occured before the events in the film. Cameron gave these chapters to
'Ed Harris' (qv) and 'Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio' (qv), who used it to
develop their characters.
- The masks were specially designed to show the actors faces, and had
microphones fitted so that dialog could be recorded as the action happened.
- Most of the underwater filming took place in a half-completed nuclear
reactor cooling tank in Gaffney, South Carolina. The cast and crew
frequently spent enough time underwater to force them to undergo
decompression before surfacing. The tank was filled to a depth of 40 feet,
but there was still too much light from the surface, so billions of tiny
black plastic beads were floated on the surface to block the light.
- A ``special edition'' is available on videotape, and was released
theatrically in 1994. It features an extra 28 minutes of footage including:
- the Deep Core crew singing a country and western song as they ``truck'' the
rig to the abyss
- more details about Bud and Lindsay's breakup
- further development of the tension between the USA and the USSR, including
a naval collission
- a massive tidal wave caused by the NTIs
- Fluid breathing is a reality: the rat actually did breathe liquid, although
the suit that Bud wore was a mock-up.
- DIRTRADE(James Cameron): [nice cut]: at the beginning of the movie,
the blue ``Y'' from the opening credits extends and then fades to the
underwater scenery with the submarine.
- DIRTRADE(James Cameron): [feet]: when the soldiers arrive at the
supply ship and jump out of the helicopters. See also _Aliens (1986)_ (qv).
- DIRTRADE(James Cameron): [nuke]
# Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)
- The name ``Shady Acres Mental Hospital'' is a reference to the name of
the director: 'Tom Shadyac' (qv).
# Across the Pacific (1942)
- Director 'John Huston' (qv) went off to join the war effort before the film
was finished, and 'Vincent Sherman' (qv) directed the final scenes.
# Adrift (1971)
- Production was suspended in 1968 during the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia
because a temporary military bridge had been erected accross the Danube at
the filming location. Production resumed in 1970, and the film was released
in 1971.
# Adventurer, The (1917/I)
- The chauffeur was played by 'Kono' (qv), who was 'Charles Chaplin' (qv)'s
own butler, chauffeur, secretary, and bodyguard from 1916 to 1934.
# Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The (1989)
- 'Robin Williams' (qv) played the King of the Moon. The credits list ``Ray
Ditutto''. This is the English transliteration of the Italian phrase ``Rei di
Tutto'', which means ``King of Everything'', which was how the King of the
Moon introduces himself to the Baron. Williams performed the part as soon
as he arrived in England after a trans-Atlantic flight.
# Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, The (1984)
- 'Jamie Lee Curtis' (qv) played Buckaroo's mother in a flashback, but this
scene was cut.
- Supposedly this movie was inspired a great deal from 'Thomas Pynchon' (qv)'s
book ``The Crying of Lot 49''.
# Adventures of Ford Fairlane, The (1990)
- The list of bands from Grendel's bogus ``Fred's Condom Factory'' company
are:
- Ellen Aim and the Attackers
