[01] -- Look up TEN of your favourite movies on IMDB.
[02] -- Click the "trivia" link in the sidebar.
[03] -- Post a fun and random bit of trivia from each film.
[04] --I'm supposed to tag four people, but I think you can steal it if you want it.
1. Star Wars - In earlier drafts, including the ones that were used for audition readings, the planet Alderaan was known as Organa Major. Although the name was changed, the "Organa" was retained and became Leia's adoptive family name.
2. Blade Runner - Joanna Cassidy (Zhora) was at ease with the snake around her neck because it was her pet, a Burmese python named Darling.
3. Stargate - Wardrobe and cinematography had to work around Jaye Davidson's nipple rings - he refused to remove them.
4. Serenity - The cast had a running gag where they would yell Summer Glau's name whenever she flubbed a line or forgot to do something. It originated on "Firefly" (2002) when she forgot her line at the end of a very long and difficult scene.
5. While You Were Sleeping - The original screenplay was about a woman in a coma and a man pretending to be her fiancée. Many studio executives thought this to be too predatory, but one suggested reversing the roles.
6. Run, Lola, Run - The shot where the roulette ball lands on 20 was not a trick shot - the crew simply filmed the ball dropping into the wheel, and it hit 20 on one of their first takes.
7. Pan's Labyrinth - The faun's legs were not computer-generated. Guillermo del Toro created a special system in which the actor's legs puppeteer the faun's fake ones. The actor's legs were later digitally removed.
8. X-Men - Wolverine's line, "What do they call you, 'Wheels?'" was an ad-lib by Hugh Jackman (the scripted line was, "What do they call you, Baldie?").
9. Casablanca - Captain Renault's line, "You like war. I like women," was changed from "You enjoy war. I enjoy women," in order to meet decency standards.
10. Love in the Afternoon - The original ending of the film just showed the two lovers departing together on a train, which threatened to land the film on the Catholic Legion of Decency's "Condemned List." As a result, Maurice Chevalier was called back to do the voice-over heard at the close of the film, in which he reports that the couple are "now married and serving a life sentence in New York City."
