Movie Facts Thursday!

Every Thursday, I've decided to post 10 interesting facts about films! So, check in at least every Thursday to see what the new trivia is.


TWILIGHT (2008)

1) Kristen Stewart's stunt double, Katie Powers, also plays a waitress at the diner.

2) When Bella and Edward are lying in the meadow, the sun coming through the trees makes a heart between them.

3) At the cafeteria salad bar, Bella drops an apple which Edward picks back up and then cradles in his hands, copying the cover image of the Twilight novel. This shot took 13 takes to get it right.


YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974)

4) The Blind Man's parting line "I was gonna make espresso" was not in the script, but was ad-libbed by Gene Hackman during shooting.

5) The idea of Frederick's dart hitting a cat was ad-libbed on set. When Gene Wilder threw his dart off camera, director Mel Brooks quickly screamed like a cat to create the illusion.

6) Rock band Aerosmith took a break from a long night of recording to see "Young Frankenstein" in 1974. Steven Tyler wrote the band's hit "Walk This Way" the morning after seeing the movie, inspired by Marty Feldman's first scene, the "walk this way... this way" scene.

TOY STORY TRILOGY

7) At 102 minutes (1 hour, 42 minutes) the third film is the longest Toy Story movie.

8 Buzz's first name was Lunar Larry, but it was changed because it didn't fit the grand space hotshot he became.

9) The crowd voices of the little green aliens are actually John Lasseter (the director) and crew after breathing in helium gas!

10) In its most productive week, Pixar completed just 3.5 minutes of animation.
