Best sci-fi movie trivia of 1993

Trivia: To make the water in the glass on the dashboard 'jump', they strung a guitar string from the underside of the dashboard to a bolt on the floor and then plucked the string.

Trivia: When Steven is in Jason's house, we see the "Necronomicon", or "Book of the Dead" from the "Evil Dead" movies. He even picks up the book and flips through it. The director has said this is because Jason is a deadite, as his mother made a pact with the devil to bring him back from the dead.

Trivia: The portable devo guns Mario & Luigi use to turn Koopa into slime are actually Super Scopes, (used in the Super Nintendo Game "Super Scope"). They're kind of the Super Nintendo version of the Nintendo Zapper from "Duck Hunt" for NES (Nintendo Entertainment System").

Trivia: Demolition Man contains several references to the novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. Sandra Bullock's character's name is Lenina Huxley, from Lenina Crowne, a main character in the book, and the author's name. Sylvester Stallone's character is also named for a character in Brave New World, John the Savage. Also during the fight in the museum, Wesley Snipes says "such a brave new world".

Trivia: Baby Connie was played by Dan Aykroyd's real life daughter, Danielle Aykroyd.

Trivia: When Max is chasing the cat, the scene was accomplished by training the cat and dog together so they'd be comfortable. The cat was being trained to run towards a toy, while the dog was trained to run towards a trainer making hand signals a short distance away from the cat-toy. If you pay very close attention, there's actually one point in the scene where you can tell that they're running in ever-so-slightly different directions.

Trivia: With a final production budget of $13 Million, "Freaked" was a boxoffice disaster, grossing just under $30,000 in two theatres. Due to studio shake-ups at 20th Century Fox, the film's post-production budget had been cut and its advertising campaign was cancelled. After a number of bad test screenings, the movie was pulled from nationwide release, finally going to VHS in early 1994. Nonetheless, the film gained almost immediate cult status, which it retains to this day.

Charles Austin Miller

Trivia: The inhuman shriek that the pod people use to alert their brethren of unduplicated humans present was invented for the 2nd film adaptation and carried into this, the 3rd - it is not part of the book, but remains very effective, hence its continued inclusion in film.
