d.		There was a short scene cut during preproduction that had Bobby (Jeremy King) picking up Reagan (Millie Anne Shipe) at the airport, due to budget and logistics. For a short, 5-second shot that was going to take place at the smaller Clearwater, Florida airport, the filmmakers felt it would be easier to just show them arriving at Bobbys parents house.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: UHF (1989)?
a.		During the first "Uncle Nutsys Clubhouse" scene, Uncle Nutsy (Al Yankovic) instructs Bobbo The Clown/Bob (David Bowe) to look up, down, then at "Mr.Frying-Pan," David Bowes lip is busted when the pan accidentally makes contact with his face, it was supposed to stop short, the reaction in the movie is Mr.Bowes actual displeasure with the fact he is currently bleeding (only hidden by his red clown makeup on his lips), after review it was decided that this take was excellent, and no further takes were filmed.
b.		Jerry Orbachs final film.
c.		Fifty real-life members of PAPD, NYPD and FDNY were flown to Los Angeles to film the chain of men moving stretchers out of the rubble.
d.		Jack Nicholson repeated his famous courtroom monologue as Col. Jessep off-camera several times so Rob Reiner could film the reactions of other actors from various angles. Nicholsons memorable on-camera performance was filmed last, but according to Reiner and the other cast members, Nicholson gave it his all every take as if he was on camera.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: UHF (1989)?
a.		Weird Al never believed UHF deserved a PG-13 rating, but refused to allow cuts that would have earned the film a PG. Among the scenes the MPAA wanted cut were the "flying poodles" and part of "Conan the Librarian", which features a guy getting (bloodlessly) split in two for having an overdue book. Another scene that Al didnt cut despite rating concerns is the "Town Talk" scene wherein a shop teacher has his thumb cut off and bleeds all over George and the stage, this scene was edited for "time" however, as it was originally longer. Multiple endings were filmed, which included one where George finds the severed thumb and the shop teacher puts it in his pocket, continuing his lecture. In another the shop teacher states the thumb should be kept warm so it can be reattached, and promptly puts the thumb in his mouth, continuing his lecture. Strangely enough, when shown on television, the library scene is often cut out for content, but the bloody scene with the shop teacher is still aired, showing of the "poodle tossing" varies on the station.
b.		The only Harry Potter movie not to feature a variation of the Warner Bros. logo, although the films theme is played over it as opposed to the original WB theme.
c.		In the movie Mr. Creedy says: "Youve got nothing but your bloody knives and your fancy karate gimmicks. We have guns." This line is similar to one from Mr. Almond in the book, a character that was excluded from the movie.
d.		Was filmed in the summer of 1955 and not released until 1957 and marketed to cash in on the sudden burst of Jayne Mansfield fame.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: UHF (1989)?
a.		The phrase "Cabo Blanco" comes from the Spanish language and translates into English as "White Cape".
b.		When Uncle Nutsy asks "Billy" what his last name is, the boy spits on his nose, before the shot switches to a wide shot of Nutsy answering the horn of Bobbo the Clown, the boy can be seen laughing, he rests his chin on his hand in an attempt to hide it. This scene was filmed several times and this was the best take filmed. In another scene, George leaves a long message on Teris answering machine, wherein he begs her to take him back, she also covers her mouth, apparently in contempt, but her smile can be seen stretching from behind her hand (the answering machine phone call was actually Weird Al on-set, but off camera).
c.		"Yialo Yialo" ("Seashore, Seashore"), heard sung at a wedding celebration, is a Greek folk song about love and the sea. As with many provincial folk songs, verses are often improvised as its sung. The first verse heard in the film (asking the sea not to wake the singers beloved) is standard, while the second verse, sung by actor/singer James Darren, is ostensibly improvised. The verse asks the mountains to bow down so that he can see his dearest love, "Anoula", and far-away home, "Rahoula". This improvisation came about as follows. Carl Foremans production coordinator with the Greek government, Daniel Bourla, who also functioned as the producer of two shorts made on the filming of Guns of Navarone - one directed by John Schlesinger and one by Bourla - tried to obtain an affidavit from the Greek government certifying that Yalo Yalo was in public domain. The certification was issued but it erroneously listed Bourla as its author. Whereupon, Bourla issued a release himself for the use of this song and added a needed additional verse to the song using the name Anoula (Anna being his girlfriend at the time).
d.		The girl Lindsey who drove Rachel and Jamie to the discount mart was going to be revealed as Lindsey Wallace from Halloween 1 and have a larger part in the film as Rachels friend and helping her babysit Jamie, but was cut for budget reasons

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: UHF (1989)?
a.		The film is dedicated to Trinidad Silva (Raul), who was killed by a drunk driver midway through production. Had he survived, the film wouldve explored/developed the character of Raul a little better. Such as the fact that he was a postal worker/carrier, and wouldve shown a very funny scene involving the revenge of the flying-poodle Fifi, who was un-mercifully thrown out of a 2-story-high window. The scene with the attacking poodles was actually filmed using another actor doubling for Trinidad with stuffed poodles attached to his body and covering his face but the scene was not included in final version of the film.
b.		According to Paramount production files contained at the AMPAS Library, Alec Coppel worked on the script for about a week in mid-November 1954, shortly before the final set of retakes was done.
c.		Rob Schneider twisted his ankle while filming the sword fight scene, the footage can be seen in the DVD Making of feature.
d.		MC Serch lobbied hard for the role of Zack before Michael Rapaport was cast. Serch settled for a job as the films music supervisor.

Bob (Martin Sheen) is facing the camera on the far end of the table, Maureen (Kathy Bates) is to his right, and Jeremy (Emilio Estevez) is to his left.
