Dunno if this has legs for a thread, but read any funny film trivia recently?

These from IMDB's page for Flash Gordon tickled me

According to Sam J. Jones, while filming the tilting-disc fight scene, the actors would get covered in paint by the disc that was spray painted silver. They would have to take extra time between each take to wipe silver paint off their bodies.


Flash's t-shirt was a gift from an anonymous female fan. Flash wore it a lot, hoping he would eventually meet the woman.


Brian Blessed improvised the scene where Vultan gooses Dale. Melody Anderson's reaction is genuine.

Dino De Laurentiis had never heard of Queen before making this film. The band was approached for the gig in 1979, and they were immediately interested. Their manager arranged a meeting with De Laurentiis to discuss the opportunity, and he allegedly asked, "Who are the Queens?"


Production sounds like it was a hoot

Nine people died on the set of The Exorcist and there's a ghost in Three Men and a Baby.

These are from the IMDB for Gotti:

- John Travolta provided his own personal wigs.

- Several scenes which featured Gotti's well known "Boppity boopity" vocal tick were edited out at the last minute.

- Frank Stallone was initially approached to play Gotti, talks broken-down as Stallone insisted on singing a solo in the end credits. The studios felt this went against the soul of the movie.
