  1. The star/director has said that this film was "my funniest picture to that time." I disagree. I can think of at least two funnier ones. In an interview with 'Esquire' magazine, the star once said of the making of this movie: "When good weather was needed, it rained. When rain was needed, it was sunny. The cameraman was Belgian, his crew French. The underlings were Hungarian, the extras were Russian. I speak only English - and not really that well. Each shot was chaos. By the time my directions were translated, what should have been a battle scene ended up as a dance marathon. In scenes where [my co-star] and I were supposed to stroll as lovers, Budapest suffered its worst weather in twenty-five years". The film began development at Fox and was intended to be their one of their big Christmas 1974 releases. Eventually, it went into turnaround to United Artists due to their relationship with the star, who wouldn't make a film for Fox for almost thirty years. George
  2. Charlie's Angels Drew Barrymore Poltergeist George
  3. B was a Dr. Phibes movie. I think the first one was called "The Abominable Dr. Phibes." I actually remember seeing it in a theater with a high school buddy (he was into horror flicks). George
  4. No Holds Barred Kurt Fuller Scary Movie George
  5. Dr. No Ursula Andress Clash of the Titans George
  6. Leatherheads Renee Zellweiger Chicago George
  7. Old School Vince Vaughn Wedding Crashers George
  8. The Professional Jean Reno Godzilla (1998) George
  9. I don't know. Maybe it's because I never watched "Lost," but I have no idea what you're talking about. George
  10. "Professor Wexler" seems vaguely familiar, but nothing really jumps out, yet. George
  11. Well, Jonathan Harris (and Gary Oldman) played DOCTOR Smith, but that was Zachary Smith, not Jefferson. Nothing else really come to mind, yet. George
  12. Pretty cool. Not my usual genre, but nice arranging. George
  13. Only two actors who've played Wyatt Earp come to mind (although I'm sure there a many). My first guess is Kevin Costner George
  14. Pierce Brosnan was correct. My next round would have included Remington Steele and James Bond. George
  15. Helen Mirren White Nights Gregory Hines George
  16. Valeri Petrofsky Dr. Lawrence Angelo Stu Dunmeyer Prof. Donald Kessler Robinson Crusoe Andrew Osnard Daniel Rafferty Sam Carmichael Charles Hawkins George
  17. Robert Duvall Falling Down Michael Douglas George
  18. Battlefield Earth is correct. Thank God they never made the sequel. George
  19. That WAS wild! No. The star referred to this film as "like Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) but better" and "the Schindler's List (1993) of science-fiction films" during publicity. The investor, Intertainment, sued producer Franchise Pictures for fraud. Franchise claimed the budget was $75 million instead of the actual budget of $44 million. Franchise was ordered by the court to pay Intertainment $121.7 million in damages, and went bankrupt. Intertainment only financed the film because it came as a package deal with The Art of War (2000) and The Whole Nine Yards (2000). The film is included on film critic Roger Ebert's "Most Hated" list. Forest Whitaker expressed his regret for participating in this movie. Barry Pepper said that had he known he was going to win Worst Supporting Actor at the Razzies, he would have shown up to accept his award in person. The film's cinematographer has gone on record as saying that the overuse of color filters and Dutch Angles wasn't his idea, and that he was given the smallest lighting budget he had ever worked with. George

  21. I vaguely remember "Van Dyke and Company." I would not have guessed in several lifetimes, however... Are you going again, Human? George
