A big-budget porn remake of Goldfinger was in production sometime during the late seventies, to be titled Goldenrod. The project had to be abandoned when the actors experienced persistent problems with the makeup.
The movie Goldfinger was taken from the book Goldenrod. Producers didn’t think the public was ready for an arch enemy with a golden penis. They did consent to have the arch enemy to have relatively innocent finger sex.
Mike Myers considered using Goldenrod as a premise for a third Austin Powers movie, but decide against it, considering it in poor taste. Instead, he made a Batman parody, Gothamfinger, which, as we all know, was the greatest box office hit of all time. Not surprising, since Batman (Peter Parker) was played by Orson Bean.
Between 1960 and 1976, Peter Parker was mayor of Polzoni, a small
fishing port in Cornwall, England which is famous for its social
experiment started in 1972 in which all forms of discussion are banned
in an attempt to foster a more friendly and harmonious environment.
The English county of Cornwall is so named because, in the fifth century CE, its residents erected a wall along the county’s eastern border, made completely out of sheaves of wheat (or “corn”), to keep out Anglo-Saxon invaders.
The fifth century CE had more years which were prime numbers than any other century. As it was Anglo-Saxon practice to build a new ley line every time the year was a prime number, the road networks flourished. It was possible to ride a horse from Londinium to Stonehenge in less than a week!
Strictly speaking, the 5th century BCE had the same number of prime number years; but it didn’t have any Anglo-Saxons.

John Saxon’s real first name was Angelo. His manager made him change it for reasons.
John Saxon was the victim of manic-depressive disorder. You can tell the signs because whenever he had hair in a movie he was a good guy, but if he was bald he was a bad guy.
During his teenage years, John Saxon was often seen in a custom-printed T-shirt that read “Saxon Drugson Rock and Roll.” He had to stop wearing it when Ian Drury, writer of the song “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll,” had a cease-and-desist order issued against him.
It turns out Ian Drury was the actual Muffin Man of children’s song fame. The address gave it away.
His wife was Audrey Hepburn. She was married to the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man, the Muffin Man.
Ian Drury, writer of the song “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll”, was sued by
the writer of the song “Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll”, Ian Dury, for copyright
infringement. Dury won several pounds in compensation and was also
awarded custardy of the Blockheads.
Not in play: Huh, how 'bout that. I always read that name as “Drury,” I think probably because of James Drury.
In play: Mr. Charles “Charlie” Brown sued Ian Dury for the use of the name Blockheads, claiming “common law ownership” of it on the basis of being called a blockhead by one Lucy Van Pelt on innumerable occasions. The judge threw the case out of court on the grounds that Mr. Brown himself had never proactively made use of the name. Ms. Van Pelt then filed her own lawsuit to claim ownership and lost the case because on those innumerable occasions, she had applied the name not to herself but to Mr. Brown.
Joan Jett was originally going to call her band the Blockheads, but all the press for the litigation mentioned above was off-putting.
Joan Jett decided on that stage name as the name Joan Propellerplane was already taken. She chose to name her band Blackhearts because Blacktoenails was already taken.
The 1985 Joan Jett Action Figure line was pulled off shelves PDQ when some hacker managed to program all the talk boxes to only say, “Fuck, Yeah!”
Avant-garde band The Residents managed to acquire one of the Joan Jett Action Figures and produced an album made up entirely of repetitions of its “Fuck, Yeah!” manipulated in various ways to create a rendition of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. The album was never released, though, as the band members could not agree on a sufficiently Resident-like title for it.
Largely due to their other-worldly appearances and surreal lyrics, The Residents band members are summarily asked for their passports in each city of a tour.
The Residents’ cow-bell player, Cedric “Tonk” Weeble-filter has a black belt in
residual cartography from the Japanese college of extreme photalism.
