  2. Dangerfield stands to inherit big bucks if he can clean up his act. Jennifer Jason Leigh Flesh + Blood Rutger Hauer George

  4. No. This is Henry Golding's first movie; he was only a travel show host before this, but was introduced to the project after a producer met a studio accountant in Singapore, who suggested his name. However, Henry turned down to audition for the role several times as he did not think he was good enough for the part and believed a "legitimate" actor would be better suited. It was not until the director, Jon M. Chu, reached out to him via a mutual Facebook friend that he was finally convinced to do the part. The tiger in the foyer of the mansion was an interesting movie prop. Per the Hollywood Reporter, "The mansion's taxidermied tiger was problematic. The best specimen was in London, and the production designer realized he'd have trouble getting it across international borders. Instead, he hired sculptors in Thailand, to create a tiger out of foam and fur, only to have it held up in Thai customs because agents thought it was the real thing. 'We finally got it installed the night before we filmed the scene,' he says." The author of the book on which the movie is based has been charged with draft dodging in his native Singapore. He is liable to a fine of up to $10,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 3 years upon conviction. As of October 2018, the film had grossed over $235 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing romantic comedy in a decade. George
  5. He's Bill Murray's cousin (I think). He was the head caddy in Caddyshack, and also appeared in Christmas Vacation and did a stint on SNL: George
  6. There was a lawsuit brought by the makers of a movie that shared a number of elements with the series. The jury found they were too similar, but a federal judge overruled them and said there was a "striking difference in the dramatic mood of the two works." I would guess "Stalag 17," which predated HH by about a decade. George
  7. Paperback Writer "Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed..." George
  8. Caddyshack Rodney Dangerfield Easy Money George

  13. I recognize a couple of the titles, but I haven't seen any of the movies. George
  14. I'm a Believer I just put a line in "Name That Tune," thinking it was this thread. So, here's another: "You just slip out the back, Jack." George
