Complete BS movie trivia

They were so sure that the 1998 American “Godzilla” film was going to be a hit that they actually filmed 4 sequels back-to-back, which were canned before creating the expensive CGI sequences once the movie tanked.

The sequels are:

  1. Godzilla vs Kong Kong
  2. Godzilla vs Freddy vs Jason
  3. Godzilla vs Ash vs The Medieval Dead
  4. Godzilla vs Lizzie McGuire

Are we absolutely sure that Montalban wore a fake chest in Trek II? He has denied it many times; many Trek sites call this rumor nonsense and groan when it is brought up by a newbie for the one millionth time.

Saying it looks fake doesn’t count.

Or am I being whooshed?

Sir Rhosis

According to the director’s commentary for the DVD, it’s Ricardo’s real chest.

Lisa Simpson: Wait a minute, Xena can’t fly!

Lucy Lawless: How many times do I have to say it? I’m not Xena!

Oh, and stepping “out of character” for a second, of course that’s Montalban’s real chest. If he did have the pecs for the job, they’d have given him a shirt that buttoned up in the front. They weren’t exactly flushed with cash when they were making the movie. They’re going to waste money making an elaborate prosthetic chest for Khan when all he does in the entire movie is sit behind a computer console and over-emote?

The producers of Starship Troopers went over their budget doing numerous takes of the co-ed shower scene. The actors felt uncomfortable and ended up using over 20,000 gallons of water and several reels of film. In order to keep the studio from going bankrupt, the aliens were not created using CG – rather, they were the result of a clever use of shadow puppets and camera angles.

These are my guesses. Now, what are the answers?

“Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo” was not the first movie sequel to use “Electic Boogaloo” in the title. It was already an movie-insider joke and added to the title as a prank which was not caught in time.

The first movie to use the phrase was “Birth Of A Nation 2: Electric Boogaloo”.

Something related to Star Trek, in the Austin Powers movies, the over weight, Scottish character of Fast Bastard wasn’t played by Mike Meyers in makeup and a costume, instead the part was played by the over weight, Scottish actor, James Doohan, who needed no costume or makeup, except to make him look younger since he is in his 70’s.

Also, The Truman Show was a message from me trying to show you all the truth. What truth is that you ask? Well, I’ll put it this way, I’m watching several of you right now :smiley:

Well I am not sure about the Peanuts one although I think it might be the Dr.Seuss one.
The one trivia tid bit I included that is purpoted to be real was this one:

**

Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” album synchs up exactly with the holiday favorite “White Christmas.” (Start the CD at the “VistaVision” logo.) Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye perfoming “Money” while in drag must be seen to be believed!

The true one of mine was the Dr. Seuss one. It shows up in Judith and Neil Morgan’s biography Dr. Seuss and Mr. Geisel. (Charles Schulz never tried to make a serious film, although he did have high hopes for a live action/animation combo special called The Girl in the Red Truck, starring Snoopy’s brother Spike.

The following fact, however, is 100% untrue*:

Mickey Mouse retired in 1953, even though his good friend and co-star Donald Duck continued to make films until 1961. Similarly, Bugs Bunny retired in 1964, even though his accomplice Daffy Duck continued to work long after the original Warner Bros. cartoon studio closed. What very few people know is that Mouse and Bunny were very good friends, and during this period of unemployment, helped support each other. (Rumors of a homosexual relationship are unfounded.) Mouse, then in his thirties, joined an underground fighting league to show that he wasn’t just a timid corporate symbol. Mouse showed a sort of pep and fighting spirit not seen since the 1920s and was, as his friend Popeye put it, “the fightenisk son of a bitcsk I’se ever seened, and dat includes meself.” Bunny, who had never lost his smart-alecky personality, continued to do what he did best, sometimes working as a tag-team partner with Mouse and confusing and annoying opponents to no end. Mouse eventually became a legitimate boxer, his most famous bout being “The Takedown in Toontown,” in which he knocked out Muhammad Ali in three rounds of the roughest fighting ever seen in the legitimate ring. Mouse retired from the ring undefeated, and eventually settled down back into his old self to join his co-stars in Mickey’s Christmas Carol, his big-screen return. Bunny still fights for exercise. Mouse denies he ever fought anyone.

The Little Mermaid was the first Disney film to feature the phrase “damn it!”

The “flying through the hanger” stunt in It’s a Mad, mad[…]world. was actually filmed IRL.

:wink:

Vic Tayback, who played Mel Sharples on the TV show “Alice”, was actually the Lindbergh baby. They only thought he was dead; he got better.

The screenplay for the movie Cat In the Hat (which was based on the book of the same name) was written by George W Bush.
Wait a minute… slight correction here …
The book Cat In The Hat was read by George W Bush. (Just last week as a matter of fact).

Showgirls was a documentry about Elizabeth Berkley’s life after leaving Saved by the Bell.

Man in the Moon was played by Jim Carey but it was Andy Kaufman who actualy played Tony Clifton.

Ned Beaty is a true method actor. The scene were he is made to squeal like a pig in Deliverence was real. He allowed his co-stars to analy sodomize him so he could feel like a rape victim.

John Ritter will still be making new episodes of 10 Rules for Dating my Daughter. It won’t be Ritter of course but a CGI version of him. Rich Little will do the voice. Next season they will introduce Ritter’s characters father-in-law, Oliver Reed.

American Beauty was supposed to have an alternate ending but has failed to make it to the DVD. Of course we find who kills Spacey in the final scene. Originaly it was to be no one who appeared in the film at that point. Instead we see Haley Joel Osment holding the smoking gun saying “I make dead people!”

Jerry Lewis in his heyday of making those silly slapstick movies,made a more serious and dark film: The Day the Clown Cried. A story of a jewish clown who lures young children into the gas chambers of Nazi Germany.

A class action lawsuit has been settled in court. All those who paid for tickests to see Gigli will be re-imbursed with a 100 dollar bonus for emotional trauma.

Again one of these trivia facts is true.

It’s the Jerry Lewis one.

Years ago, a previously unknown Shakespear film showed up. It was kept secret filmed, and released. The title…

Attack of the Killer Tomatos.
