This filmed was originally conceived as a drama with Daniel Day-Lewis originally attached to play as Gilmore, Sean Connery as Chubs, and Richard Gere as Shooter McGavin. During pre-production, both Geare and Day-Lewis left the project, and the script was retooled as a comedy vehicle for Adam Sandler. After Sandler was cast as Happy Gilmore, Sean Connery also left the project.

WTF at that Happy Gilmore trivia. Who knew. I've never been able to find it again but I read something ages ago about Pauly Shore's Jury Duty similarly mutating from a psychological thriller into the thing it ultimately became.

James Cameron's brother, Mike Cameron, plays a dead crewman inside the sunken submarine. To accomplish this he had to hold his breath under 25 feet of water while also allowing a crab to crawl out of his mouth. The shot took five takes, and Mike had to crush the crab twice because Jim took too long to set the lights.

Trivia for Howard the Duck
When the movie was broadcast on TV3 in New Zealand in 1997, during the sequence which Howard and Phil are chased by the police on a aircraft, a caption appeared on the screen informing viewers that the movie was about to be interrupted by a newsflash and that Princess Diana had died. Princess Diana was tragically killed in a car crash in Paris, France and died at the age of 36. In the Marvel comics, there was a character called Diana Prince was a Olympian goddess who was brought to life from clay by Themyscira in 1967 and fought crime with her foster sister Ororo. Later, Diana Prince went to American and crossed paths with The Punisher, which they had a son together called Ryan and later broke up.
Hmm, checks out.

HH -- #2 is a bit of a trick question: it's an odd number.VG -- Haven't had anyone get #4 yet; I wouldn't call it a trick question, but the right answer is somewhat counter-intuitive as to what "series" means (it's a show, though, not a sporting event).

#4 gotta be one of the episodes of the Roots miniseries#5 - "You Light Up My Life" by Debbie Boone

Kearny visits a gun shop called The Jolly Roger Sporting Goods. That is a real gun shop in New Milford Connecticut. The feds gave them so much grief they decided to stop selling guns. Shame. They were the nicest people too.
