real good, this one

According to the Train Movies website Railserve, "the film was shot in British Columbia, where a 'Lac Des Arcs' train station was built along the tracks specifically for the film. The train consisted of a British Columbia Railway (BC Rail) SD40-2 diesel and 12 privately owned passenger cars, all painted in VIA Rail Canada livery to appear as the Toronto-Vancouver Canadian. The private cars included one dormitory, one baggage car, three coaches (#521, 524, 550), one dome car (#555), one dining car (#548), another coach (#540), three sleepers (#558, 564, 544), and a rear dome car (#597). The primary compartments in the film are A6 in #564, and later C6 in #558. Some of the distant exterior shots of the train (specifically two bridge crossings) were filmed using a model train".

The character played by Bruce Fontaine exclaims "Hey, he hit me!" after an opponent slashes him with a knife. The scene was originally written so that Fontaine would be punched, but when the knives were improvised, no one updated the dialogue or corrected Fontaine.

In a deleted scene, the Gremlins release all the animals in the "Splice o' Life" lab. During the filming of this scene, the monkeys in the lab set were genuinely so terrified of the Gremlin puppets, that they refused to leave their cages when their trainers called for them.

hahaha poor monkeys

Robin Williams sports a bushy mustache throughout all of this movie.

Henry Cavill naturally has a hairy chest and left it untouched for the shoot of this movie. He insisted that Superman has chest hair in this film; he rejected the notion that just because you are muscular, you should not have chest hair and cited the Superman comic book "The Death Of Superman" as being an iconic representation in which Superman had a hairy chest.

Despite his name, Gary Oldman was only 28 during filming.

bad jeopardy clue

Director Tarsem Singh told Henry Cavill after their first meeting that if he got the role of Theseus, he would have to develop an "eight pack", not a "six pack", he could have very little body fat on his body and that his wardrobe would be very revealing. Cavill trained for six months and developed his abdominal muscles into a full "eight pack" which was then displayed throughout the movie in numerous shirtless scenes. He brought down his body fat percentage to 6%, which he subsequently maintained throughout the shoot.

Henry Cavill refused all assistance from the make-up and VFX departments to achieve his eight-pack for the movie. He told them "I do not want you to draw abs on me". He said it was "a pride thing" for him. He "actually wanted to have that body for real and show it in the film."

Mickey Rourke said of star Henry Cavill that he would do 2000 push ups daily before he went before the camera.

Henry Cavill, who is naturally hairy, had to shave his torso for the film. But he said that shaving had its advantages as he was able to see all the muscle definition that he had achieved for this role.

Henry Cavill said he felt very stressed out leading up to filming of his shirtless scenes for the movie. He would wake up every morning and look into the mirror and think "Can I still see the veins in my abs". He said he did look good enough but felt a lot of pressure because he wanted to completely deliver on the shape his director had asked for (a full eight-pack of abs).

Henry Cavill noted that there was a healthy competition on set among all the male actors as all of them had to appear shirtless and all wanted to look their best in front of the camera. He said that they would have friendly "best abs contests" to determine "who had the best abs". Co-star Luke Evans said that Henry Cavill was definitely the one to beat.

I was going to congratulate you on the intricately-fabricated IMDB trivia but then I went to IMDB and now I need a shower.

Henry Cavill seems conflicted about his body hair

At the 1:01 mark, you can see Luke Goss trip over his own feet.

The scene of Sharon Stone's character cutting her husband's hair (played by William H. Macy) was not in the script. Stone was to pantomime cutting the hair, but she actually snipped his hair. Macy's visibly tense reaction to the haircut was real.

Starring William H. Macy as The Husband's Hair

lol

all the trivia about reactions being "real" needs to go

here's another jeopardy clue

One of two Best Picture Oscar winners with a 'Z' in the title. The other one was The Great Ziegfeld (1936).

Schindler's Liszt?

At the beginning of the film, when Lou Ivon (Jay O. Sanders) comes into the office of Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) to tell him that President Kennedy has been shot, Costner's horrified reaction to the news is real, Stone having kept the plot of the movie a secret from the cast. Sanders' broken expression is likewise real, Stone having told him just before the cameras rolled that Kennedy had been shot in Dallas.

Why did I think Garrison in JFK heard about it in a restaurant, with some heckler in the background going I'm glad he's dead!

This is one of two films in which a character played by Jerry O'Connell has his penis bitten off. The other is Piranha 3D (2010).

Sounds like a movie night!

Man, I must've suppressed the details of that leech scene.

I just discovered the Cinemorgue wiki which is a treasure trove of death scene trivia. Particularly: http://cinemorgue.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Death_scenes_by_cause_of_death

Some of those categories are fantastic. I think my favorite is 'death scenes by ceasing to exist'.

• Shot (in the throat and head) while riding in his motorcade beside Blair Brown.

• Destroyed when Linda Hamilton crushes him in an industrial press in an empty factory.

• Sacrifices himself by having Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong lower him down into an iron foundry and being melted so that the futuristic technology of his android body won't be misused.

• Destroyed in an explosion after he places a bomb in Kristanna Loken's mouth to destroy them both.

Steve Buscemi: Shot repeatedly by soldiers whilst he's dying of an exotic leprosy-like flesh-eating disease in the jungle, after Roger Daltrey tricks him into going into an off-limits area.

I... I did not see this episode of Tales from the Crypt.

it's an ok episode but has some outstanding gross body horror sfx. roger daltrey's nose falls off at the end.

That's what the Tommy movie was missing... clothespins.

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.

See also John Gregory Dunne's 'Monster', about how he and Joan Didion wrote the screenplay for the movie about the real-life death of a journalist, which ended up being hollywoodised into a romantic comedy.

any sources back up the happy gilmore thing? its writers were adam sandler and a guy who only writes adam sandler movies.

"In real life, Adam Sandler is terrible at both hockey and golf."

not trivia but content advisory

Numerous scenes of Chinese girls getting fucked mercilessly.

There are occasional derogatory and colloquial references to peoples parentage.

Goofs: Though the "girls of the road" are supposed to be broke, sleeping outdoors and living on the thin edge of starvation, they all have perfectly permed hair and plucked eyebrows.

really want to see this

If I calculated correctly, the body count is 69.

A real website was created for Jimmy's business in the show. The fictional business, Saul Goodman Productions, can be seen by typing in the name of the business with no spaces between the words.

Wait, can you do this with other words too?
