FILM
1753: LAKE PLACID
TRIVIA:
Sheriff Keough's "big gun" was a fake gun made specifically as a prop
for this movie. They even gave it a fake name, calling it a "Light Weight
Forward Area Air Device Unit" which itself is a pretty good parody of
military jargon. It was not an M-203 grenade launcher, which fires 40mm
grenades. The "grenades" shown with the gun were a good deal smaller
than 40mm.
Betty White's
character is told that PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) would
be interested to learn of her alleged mistreatment of her cows. In reality,
Betty White is a major on-air spokeswoman for PETA.
Oliver
Platt's character is named Hector Cyr. There is a real life Cyr Plantation in
Aroostook County, Maine, where this movie takes place.
While
the film is supposed to be in Maine, there are no scenes filmed in Maine.
A
typical flatbed truck in the United States is around 48-53' in length and
8'6" across meaning the crocodile on the flatbed at the end would be at
least around 45' long.
