Movies/Tv - Facts and Trivia

In Back To The Future Part 2 some of the cars that were used in the future in 2015 were taken from the film Blade Runner.

Disney was originally offered Back To The Future but turned it down as they didn't like the idea of a mother falling in love with her own son they later regretted not picking up the film. The DeLorean could only do 85 mph so they added 95 mph on the dash board. Back to the future was never mean't to have a sequel that's why ending was supposed to left to your imagination as to what happened next. When a sequel was called for it was reshot as the original actress that played Jennifer Parker had to pull out as her mum had cancer and had to be recast. They added Biff seeing the DeLorean take off, Marty reacting when being called chicken to add drama to film and Jennifer was quickly written out so the film would focus more on Marty and Doc Brown, Robert Zemeckis said if the sequel had of been planned from day 1 he wouldn't have let Jennifer go in the time machine with Marty and Doc Brown.

Back To The Future only has 32 visual effects in the whole film, this compared to Star Wars: The New Hope which had 360.

Rumour is that Sarah Douglas who played Ursa in Superman 2 had her voice dubbed in certain parts of the movie by actress Annie Ross who funny enough went on to play Vera Webster in Superman 3 there things that back up this rumour when you hear Sarah Douglas voice in certain parts of Superman 2 the Richard Donner Cut you can hear real voice.

Originally Richard Donner wanted to make a Superman Trilogy.

Richard Burton who played King Henry VIII in Anne Of The Thousand Days lent his royal coat to Sid James for Carry On Henry

I thought I would write a trivia as to why with ending up with a darker Batman over years, after the success of the 1989 Batman film Warner Bros then asked Tim Burton to do the sequel. At first he refused but would only do it if he was the given the budget and 100% creative control over the sequel which he never ful control over. There was back lash over Batman Returns because critics and parents felt the film was too dark so Burton stepped down and only stayed on as producer. The script was given to Michael Keaton who took one look it at and turned it down a last min replacement was bought in with Val Kilmer and the was toned down and more colourful and more comic to appeal to more accessible audience. Then Batman and Robin took even further to appeal more to kids made even more colourful, loads of jokes and slap stick to appeal to that market and of course sell toys. All tho the film was a box success it left a nasty taste with many critics and fans likely and the 5th Batman film was cancelled which was due to into production after Batman and Robin, George Clooney would often joke killed Batman. The franchise was dead until Chris Nolan years would then give us The Dark Knight Trilogy and this why Batman has ended up dark again now the classic Batman graphic "The Killing Joke" is being made into a animated it would have been a PG-13 now it's been given a R rating if it's anything like the graphic novel it's gonna really violent.
Superman suffered similar issues with Superman 3 being more comic book, more slap stick and very comedic, Superman 4 tried to be more serious with the storyline of nuclear weapons but the film suffered with budget being cut in half so poor effects and a very poor villain this then killed off the Superman franchise leaving us years later we end up with Superman Returns which set after number 2 but superman 3 and 4 never happened it tried to be like the Chris reeve films and failed so now you get Man of Steel.
Wolverine in the comics is lot more violent then the version you see on the big screen hence why Hugh Jackman is pushing for a R rated Wolverine version .

I have another Sarah Douglas trivia for Superman 2. Sarah wasn't the first choice to play Ursa. The first choice was British actress Caroline Munro who was offered the part but turned it down to play Naomi in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me

But trivia from Back To The Future Part 3 the train scene where Marty slides Doc Brown the hoverboard to save Clara was filmed in reverse.
