Revision


"The 1973 martial-arts classic Enter the Dragon was trimmed by the British censors in 1979 to delete a fight that involves nunchakas, leaving the scene following, where Bruce Lee sits with the weapons suddenly dangling around his neck, unexplained. "

"In Mike Nichols's film The Graduate (1967), there is one shot where Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman) holds Mrs Robinson's breast. She ignores him, rubbing at a spot on her clothes. He turns and bangs his head against the wall. The breast-touching was Hoffman's spur-of-the-moment idea and he was laughing so much he banged his head against the wall, convinced the shot would be cut. It stayed in. "

"In Batman Begins, during filming of the scene where Batman is being towed by a train through the streets of Gotham, so much steam was used that after each take that it would "rain" on the cast and crew for several minutes."

"In Atonement, the set of Dunkirk, built at Redcar, was the most expensive set, costing an estimated 1 million pounds."

Shhhh!

I'm revising for the Waitrose Annual Quiz.

:D
