Welcome to our trivia page. Here you can play every day (or almost every day) to answer the latest trivia. The trivia will be about all things movies and movie people. A hint: many of the questions deal with the movies we are presenting and the guest stars attending and presenting. Enjoy!
“Donnie Darko” almost went straight to video, but Drew Barrymore Productions, Flower Films saved it. Drew plays a teacher in the movie. It was filmed in 28 days. Unfortunately, “Donnie Darko” was released one month after 9/11. Marketing was non-existent, as the prominent feature was an airplane engine falling into a house.
Before there was trick photography, all the arrows in “Robin Hood” (1938) were actually shot by professional archer Howard Hill. Those shot with arrows wore clothing padded with balsa wood on protective metal plates; the metal plates prevented injury (though impact was fairly painful), and the arrows lodged into the balsa wood to create the illusion of bodily penetration.
In “Robin Hood” (1938), to win a competition, Robin splits the arrow of Philip of Arras, a captain of the guard under Gisbourne, who had struck the bullseye. Hill did, in fact, split one arrow with another during filming.
“A Matter of Life and Death,” released in 1946, is considered the 78th out of 100 as the best British Film of all time. This rating was from Sight and Sound Magazine which is regarded as the most authoritative magazine in the world.
The star of “The Town That Dreaded Sundown,” Andrew Prine, appeared in 218 TV appearances and over 60 movies.
"A Matter of Life and Death" was released in the United States as "Stairway to Heaven."
After filming, Gregory Peck informed the producers that, as Audrey Hepburn was certainly going to win an Oscar (for this, her first major role), they had better put her name above the title. They did and she did.
