STAR WARS

It is rumored that George Lucas originally asked grunge-rockers Sound Garden to do the voice of Darth Vader.

Robert Redford turned down a chance to play “all the Storm Troopers” in the first film.

In the scene where Luke and Han stop for gas on Rezille Vex, the clerk is reading a tabloid magazine called The Space Enquirer with a headline that reads “Mark Hamill Involved in Minor Car Accident (and Gay).”

During the motorcycle battle in The Empire Strikes Back, an unborn Christina Ricci plays Evil Luke.

Robert Redford played “all the Ewoks” in Return of the Jedi.

JAWS

Brody’s dog in the first film is Spielberg’s blood cousin.

In the novel and the original script, Quint escapes by painting a door on the side of the boat, opening it and never being heard from again.

Robert Shaw paid to be in the film.

A pre-teen Rob Schneider was the stunt double for actor Roy Scheider, who plays Chief Martin Brody. Scheider later legally adopted Schneider only to eventually give him up for adoption.

In the scene where Richard Dreyfuss dresses up as a girl shark in an attempt to lure “Jaws” into “the trap,” his left shark-breast is slighter larger than his right shark-breast.

BATMAN

“The real Batman” was director Tim Burton’s first choice for the role of Batman.

In the original 1966 Batman movie, the “Shark Repellent Bat-Spray” that the caped crusader uses to fend off a gigantic, hungry shark is actually “Whale Repellent Bat-Spray,” and therefore, should not have been effective at all.

Tim Burton created most of the architecture with his mind. The technical crew then hooked up an elaborate series of wires to the director’s head and downloaded the plans to a robot, which, in turn, built everything.

Michelle Pfeiffer was specifically asked to “not speak” during the filming of Batman Returns. When the actress refused, Burton hired actor Howie Long to dub all of her lines.

Batman is actually heterosexual.
