  1. Movies longer than three hours tend to be serious dramas (biographies like Gandhi and Malcom X or epic tales like Ben-Hur or Lord of the Rings). This one is quite different. Stan Laurel was offered a cameo role but refused, as he had promised never to work again after the death of Oliver Hardy. The role went to Jack Benny. At the time this film was made, there were about 100 stunt performers in America. 80 of them were used in this film. The film was so crammed with action that each leading actor was given two scripts: one for the dialogue and one for physical comedy. For the intermission of the premiere engagement at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, the filmmakers recorded messages supposedly sent over police radios describing what was happening to various characters. These messages were played not only in the auditorium during the intermission but at the concession stand and even in the bathrooms. The diector asked Buster Keaton to perform one of his signature bits, moving two steps forward then one back before racing away from whatever was threatening him. Even in his 60s the comedian was as spry as he had been in his prime. George

  3. The only two movies I can think of with Jessica Tandy are Driving Miss Daisy and Cocoon, and none of the other actors were in them. George

  7. I don't know about Dylan Walsh, but Griffith and Willis were in The Bonfire of the Vanities (?) George
  8. I find that that's usually the case, with the exception of one or two iconic roles. Take Harrison Ford. Boatloads of movies, but other than Indiana Jones and Han Solo, I couldn't name another character he's played, though I could list several movies. George

  17. The main cast of this show (excluding the star) included Arsenio Hall Kelly Hu Tammy Lauren Louis Mandylor Tom Wright Gretchen Egolf (The first two would have given it away for me, but then I watched this (relatively) short-lived series regularly.) The star of the show, Sammo Hung, wasn't particularly proficient in English, so he had fewer lines than most of the co-stars. The show had a cross-over with Walker, Texas Ranger. Jackie Chan is a friend of the star and has an uncredited cameo in one of the episodes. George
