Too bad that didn't actually happen.
Here is a fact, every single sound effect in Star Wars is made by something in the real world (even the Prequel trilogy). They might be touched up by computers, but never made by computers.
There was one sound effect used in I think Episode 2, that was the sound the big fan made on the Bespin set in ESB that blew wind around Vader and Luke near that big window during the duel.
It was recorded by someone back during filming because they thought it could be used for something later, who knew it would take ~20 years haha.
I was watching one of the Indiana Jones films the other day, either Raiders or The Last Crusade and I heard the Pod Racer speed up sounds.

It was Temple of Doom, actually. You can hear it when the Che Airliner's engines go out.
Pre-production for the first [i]Saw[/i] film only took 5 days, while filming and editing only took 18 days. All of the bathroom scenes (which was 6 out of the 18 days) were shot in chronological order in order to make the actors feel more what the characters were going through. In the scene where Shawnee Smith's character (Amanda) stabs her cell-mate and searches with her hands through his guts, the guts are actually [b]pig uterus[/b]. To help sell his concept for the film, Leigh Whannell shot a scene in which he appears to be ensnared in a bear trap. There were no special effects involved, he actually had to [b]place the teeth of the rusty bear trap in his mouth[/b] to make it seem real.
In [i]Shawn of the Dead[/i], the game that Ed (Nick Frost) is playing throughout the movie is [i]Timesplitters 2[/i]. When Ed attempts to cheer Shaun up at the Winchester with plans of binge drinking, he's actually summarizing the events of the next day (Z-day) entirely in drinking references. "Bloody Mary" - Checkout Girl, "Bite at the king's head" - Phillip, "Couple" - David and Di, "Little Princess" - Liz, "Stagger back" - impersonate zombies, "Bar For Shots" - firing rifle. Just when Shaun is exiting the Indian-run deli, which is tuned to a radio station playing songs from Indian movies, the song stops and a newscaster begins speaking in Hindi. The content of the news, when translated in English, is, "[b]People are waking up from their graves[/b]." Shaun tells Liz that he's going to take her to "the place that does all the fish". When he opens the phone book you can see that the restaurant is literally called 'The Place That Does All the Fish'. Chris Martin of [b]Coldplay[/b], who appears as himself on a news report near the end of the film promoting ZombAid, also plays a zombie. After Shaun and Liz escape from the basement of the Winchester, he can be seen playing the zombie walking past the phone booth from right to left.
Black Hawk Down-The set was constantly bothered by stray dogs running into shot. Ridley Scott kept them in because he liked the authentic feel of their presence. 8 dogs were adopted by various members of the production and were eventually brought back to the US with them.
Kelly's Heroes-It was during shooting in Yugoslavia 1969, that Donald Sutherland received word, via co-star Clint Eastwood, that his then-wife Shirley Douglas was arrested for trying to buy hand-grenades for the Black Panthers with a personal cheque from an undercover FBI agent. Sutherland recounts this story often, mentioning that when Eastwood got to the part about the personal cheque, he laughed so hard, he fell to his knees, and Sutherland had to help him up. Eastwood then put his arm around Sutherland and walked him down the hill that overlooked the Yugoslav countryside, assuring his friend with complete support of his predicament. Sutherland and Douglas, who are the parents of Kiefer and twin sister Rachel Sutherland, later divorced in 1970.
Ha, can't imagine Clint Eastwood laughing.
Guns in star wars were made using real life guns. MG34.

Han's blaster is a C-96 broomhandle, the stormtroopers standard blaster is some British rifle, and I believe the Jawas in one point use a very heavily modified Enfield.
Inishiro Honda, the director of the first Godzilla movie, is 100 years old today.
It's Stanley Kubrick's birthday today.

In honor of Stanley Kubrick:
While location scouting with R. Lee Ermey for [b]Full Metal Jacket[/b], Kubrick was driving his wife's brand new SUV. During the drive, he became fixated upon a spot saying that it would be perfect for shooting. Little did he know, he was drifting into a ditch. After the car tipped into said ditch, Kubrick (not breaking from speech) began to climb out of the SUV and continued talking about the spot.
In another instance, Adam Baldwin was becoming frustrated with Kubrick because Kubrick was unsatisfied with the takes he shot. After a prolonged period, Baldwin said "What does he want?" The cast and crew were silent. Kubrick then leaned over from the camera, and said "How about better acting."

He died at 81
And it's apparently 2 months ago as well.
In [B]Primer[/B], you can hear in the scene where Abe is showing Aaron that the items inside the box time travel, you can hear Abe talking through Aaron's earpiece, from a previous timeline.

At 0:56.
In [b]The Shining[/b], Stanley Kubrick changed the shooting script constantly. Jack Nicholson just threw away his scripts as he knew they'd change later.
Stanley Kubrick also argued and worked the actor who played Wendy so hard that her hair started to fall out, and she became physically ill for [i]months[/i].
You know that long tracking shot with Jack was intimidating Wendy and she had the baseball bat? Kubrick did that shot fifty or sixty times.
Also, that seven minute long scene where the black dude explained the shining to Danny, seven minutes long? 148 takes. Kubrick printed all of them.
The black dude getting axed? 40.
Fifty takes for the black dude getting out of the Sno-Cat and walking across the street. 87 for Jack, Danny and Wendy walking across the street.
“The final shot in the film was the last one to actually be shot on the set. Tony Burton, ‘They shot that for days. Stanley would just look at the monitor and say ‘Let’s go again.’ They couldn’t get a third of the way across the lobby. It took them a week before they got a third of the way across. Stanley kept seeing bumps – he wanted it to be smooth. So they changed the cart on the dolly. Then they put it on a track. Then they changed the wheels. Then they put some more weight on it. Then it wasn’t enough weight. They put more people on it. People were hanging onto this cart trying to keep still so they could get this shot.’”

For being casted into [b]Indiana Jones: And the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull[/b] Shia Lebouf gained 15 pounds of muscle to portray the greaser character.
It didn't show.

at 4:25 the sundance kid shoots about twice as many bullets as he should be able to with two six-shot revolvers.
That happens in pretty much any movie that has guns in it.

Wow, even though the Clone Troopers Long Rifle rifle (the main one in Episode 2) was CG it was still based on actual guns.
[quote]Although entirely computer-generated (as are all the Clone Troopers, no costumes were manufactured,) its design is based on parts from the German MG34 making up the rear half, as well as much of the Sterling L2A3 turned upside-down for the front.[/quote]
Talk about detail.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;31359086]Dude, look at my avatar.
He's my favorite director of all time.[/QUOTE]
brilliant director, just an asshole to his actors. had NOBODY told the actors who were gonna work with him he was gonna be a dick?
In the [b]Shawshank Redemption[/b] in the scene in where the guard beats the fat prisoner, they had the Rodney King incident in mind since it happened in the same year.
When they filmed the buffalo killing scene for [b]Apocalypse Now[/b], an actual buffalo is being slaughtered on screen. Coppola told animal rights groups that questioned the scene that is was a religious group (whose name I cannot remember) doing a ritual ceremony on the film's behalf and that only one buffalo was used. The religious group (whose name I cannot remember) was also questioned, and they let it slip that they really killed about 8 buffaloes to get the shot right.
The Film Red Dawn pretty much proves that Child/teenage soldiers should be used with AK47's in case of an insurgency as they have good results.
