Film seventy: Fantasy Island

  1. When Melanie is in the elevator, the music playing is from the original theme song.
  2. The iconic house in the film is called the Trette Residence, in Navodo Bay, Fiji. The filmmakers used CGI to add the tower and some other elements on and near the house, including the rocky hill next to it.
  3. Melanie’s screensaver has a picture of her with Nick, alluding to the truth of whose fantasy it is.

SOLVED!

Film seventy-one: You Only Live Twice

  1. One hundred of the four hundred inhabitants of the southern village of Akime appeared as extras in the Ama fishing village scenes.
  2. Before the title sequence, there is an outdoor shot of a Russian radar station where U.S. and Soviet leaders are having a crisis meeting. This was filmed at Mågerø in the Oslo fjord in Norway to add a Nordic winter feel to the footage. The dome-shaped radar station is still in operation today, run by the Norwegian military.
  3. This is the first film in the franchise where the main character does not wear his trademark dinner jacket (tuxedo).

SOLVED!

Film seventy-two: Alien

  1. The creature is never filmed directly facing the camera due to the humanoid features of its face. The director, determined at all costs to dispel any notion of a man in a rubber suit, filmed the beast in varying close-up angles of its ghastly profile, very rarely capturing the beast in its entirety.
  2. The only acting role of Bolaji Badejo. He vanished into anonymity after this.
  3. To preserve the shock value of the creature’s appearance, no production images of it were released, not even to author, Alan Dean Foster, when he wrote the novelisation.

SOLVED!

Film seventy-three:

  1. There was an original silent film with the same name made in 1916.
  2. Kirk Douglas was taught how to play the tenor guitar by Harper Goff.

Film seventy-four:

  1. When the character with the axe is trying to break through the door the camera is placed on the floor exactly like Stanley Kubrick did in The Shining (1980).
  2. The opening scene is an homage to Scream (1996). The camera work and even the way he catches and stabs the girl mirrors the opening murder from Scream.

Film seventy-five:

  1. The famous walk by the character of Rose Loomis across the cobblestone street holds the record for the longest walk in cinema history; 116 feet of film.
  2. Even though she had a starring role, the lead actress was still under contract to 20th Century Fox as a stock actor at a fixed salary, so she actually made less money than her make-up man did.

  4. Based on R.L. Stine’s Fear Street book series.

  3. The lead actress’ first Technicolor film.
  4. In the film, Rose gets a $12.50 refund for a bus ticket from Niagara Falls, Ontario to Chicago, Illinois. In 2019, that is equivalent, due to inflation, to around $120. Actually, in 2019, you can purchase a one-way bus ticket for the same trip for around $55.
