game #11 - movie trivia
So the icontest failed horribly, what with the only one entrant thing. Allora, we know not to do that again.
It's been a while since we had a proper game, though, and I feel remiss. So here's Game #11, the movie trivia game.
The rules are simple: I post bits of trivia from ten Carly movies, and you guys guess where the tidbit came from. Each clue is for a unique project; no answers will be repeated.
1. This film was shot at the producer's mother's house while she was on vacation. - bramjunkie
2. Shot and produced entirely in eight days with a budget of $800 for the 2005 Crazy 8s Festival. - bramjunkie
3. In the Paris nightclub scene, the jazz trio was comprised of three noted Toronto musicians: jazz trumpeter Jake Wilkinson (shown playing piano), singer Kevin Quain (shown playing the bass) and Jeff Wilson of the Jeremiahs on the drums. - bramjunkie
4. According to their gravestones in the final scene, the date that Mr. and Mrs. Baker died was 15 March 2000. - carpesomediem
5. The subway station in the movie is an abandoned station at Bay Street on the Toronto subway. - concorddawn
6. At the time of the film's theatrical debut, the phone number featured on Walter's television show (1 800 BET ON IT) was the number of an actual sports advice service. - carpesomediem
7. A real bank heist took place near the filming location and the felons drove right past the PA who immediately alerted everyone on set. The felons were surprised to see that they were driving through a film set, shortly before driving headlong into (and becoming hopelessly stuck in) a fake snow drift. The police immediately apprehended the two bumbling crooks to the amusement of all on set. - concorddawn
8. The movie was shot in 5 bedrooms. - concorddawn
9. Before Lance jumps into the pool to save Shaun, he takes of his socks. This was not in the script but was an idea of Jack Black's wardrobe assistant. Black found the idea hilarious, the gag remained in the film. - concorddawn
10. The story was inspired by a real-life incident. Writer/director Jeff Probst found a man's wallet on the street, with a name but no phone number, so he called another person's number that was inside. The man who answered said he was a cousin of the owner, and instructed Probst to mail it to him. Probst says he has always wondered if the other man really was a cousin. - carpesomediem
