srsly_yes Is where I yanked this from:
1.)
Look up ten of your favorite films on IMDB.2.)
Go to "trivia" and pick out the most interesting fact about each film.3.)
Copy + paste! 1. Boondock Saints:
In the final scene at the courthouse, when Connor and Murphy begin saying, "Now you will receive us..." is actually a SWAT motto, with only "you will see my team" changed to "you will see we three".
2. Legend:
Mia Sara was only 15 during the filming of Legend. Sara was actually born in 1967, so she was 15 in 1982, which is when production for the film began. But it took a further three years before Legend was finally completed by
Ridley Scott because of the film's immensely troubled production history.
3. Goodfellas
Director
Martin Scorsese's mother,
Catherine Scorsese, plays Tommy's mother. She ad-libbed the dinner scene. Scorsese's father,
Charles Scorsese, plays the prisoner who puts too many onions in the tomato sauce.
4. Dawn of the Dead:
Dario Argento was an admirer of
George A. Romero's work, and vica versa. When Argento heard that Romero was contemplating a sequel to
Night of the Living Dead (1968) he insisted that Romero come out to Argento's native Rome to write the script without distractions. Romero knocked out the script in 3 weeks and, though Argento read the script as it came out, he left all the writing to Romero. Argento later assisted in raising funds for the film, provided most of the film's soundtrack and edited a slightly shortened cut of the film to be shown in non-English-speaking countries.
5. Crank: ( the facts were lame)

8. Hackers:
ARF! ARF! GOTCHA", which appears near the end, when the Gibson is about to crash, is a reference to one of the earliest Trojan horse programs, EGABTR from 1985. Disguised as a graphics utility, EGABTR spread by email, wiped out everything on a victim's hard disk, and left only the message, "Arf, arf, Gotcha!" on the screen. "ARF" may also serve double duty as a reference to the German hacker group "Asoziale Randgruppe Frankfurt".
9. Night at the opera:
In exasperation after several attempts to have
Groucho Marx read one of his lines in the manner director
Sam Wood had requested, Wood exclaimed, "I guess you just can't make an actor out of clay."
Groucho Marx instantly responded, "Nor a director out of Wood."
10. Shaun of the Dead:
Shaun tells Liz that he's going to take her to "the place that does all the fish". When he opens the phone book you can see that the restaurant is literally called ‘The Place That Does All the Fish’.
