FILM 1901: STRIPTEASE

FILM 1901: STRIPTEASE 

TRIVIA: Demi Moore was called back to re-shoot some scenes, and had to wear a wig since she had already shaved her head for G.I. Jane (1997).

Demi Moore was paid $12.5 million for this film, a record fee for an actress at the time. The film was more popular in overseas theaters than in American theaters.

Underwent last minute editing when preview audiences laughed at the wrong parts.

Burt Reynolds was not originally actually sought by the production for the part of politician Dave Dilbeck. Reynolds wanted the part badly and so contacted Castle Rock studio head Rob Reiner personally and went to Miami, Florida to audition. He took a pay cut considerably lower than to what he had received during the heyday of his career.

The little girl who plays Demi Moore's daughter in the movie is actually her real life daughter, Rumer Willis.

Demi Moore had no fewer than eight assistants on the film - one for make-up, a hairstylist, a costumer, a personal assistant, a personal trainer, a motion trainer and two security personnel.

A "loop group" in New York City recorded the background voices for various scenes. The actors are included in residual payments.

Coincidentally, bit player Frances Fisher (Donna Garcia)'s real-life daughter Francesca Eastwood dated Harry Morton, who also dated Demi Moore and Rumer Willis.

CAMEO: Michael Jordan: Appears as himself as a patron in the strip club in the scene where Erin Grant (Demi Moore) meets Lt. Al Garcia (Armand Assante) after one of the dancers says "Michael Jordan is at table 8" in original theatrical. The name in this line was changed and Michael Jordan's name is uncredited.

Film 923: Wreck it Ralph

Trivia: Unlike most animated films, the principal actors regularly recorded audio sessions together in the same room, a situation which led to a lot of improvising.

Disney first began developing an animated film about the world of video game characters in the 1980s. At that time the project was called "High Score" and in the 1990s was titled "Joe Jump." In the 2000s, when the movie was finally pushed forward, the first two months of story development focused on Fix-It Felix Jr. as the main character.

Early in production it was considered to keep all characters in their native graphic quality, essentially making Ralph look 8-bit the entire time. This was deemed too difficult for making Ralph a sympathetic, lovable character.

The arcade owner character, Mr. Litwak, wears a referee's shirt as a reference to real life personality Walter Day, owner of the Twin Galaxies Arcade in Ottumwa, IA. Day is best know for appearing in the arcade documentaries Chasing Ghosts: Beyond the Arcade and The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters.

King Candy's voice and character design is modeled after Ed Wynn a popular comedian and voice artist, best known as the voice of the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland and Uncle Albert in Mary Poppins.

The bartender game which appears, "Tapper," was controversial in real life. The game featured a bartender serving mugs of Budweiser beer. The game was intended for adults to play in real life bars, but eventually made its way into kid-friendly arcades where parents became upset at the content. Consequently, Bally Midway recreated a nearly identical version called "Root Beer Tapper," with a soda jerk character instead of a bartender. The version in Wreck-It Ralph combines the bartender character of the original with the root beer of the later version.

The 'glitch' shown in the Disney logo at the end (see Crazy Credits) is intended to look like the infamous "Pac-Man Bomb Screen", a bug that manifests itself when reaching the 256th level in the original Pac-Man arcade game.

There is a piece of graffiti on the right side of the tunnel which reads "Leerooooy", a nod to Leeroy Jenkins, a World of Warcraft player who obtained Internet fame from a video of him running head-long into battle while shouting his own name.

The DJ at Fix-it Felix's 30th anniversary party is designed after Skrillex, a real life dubstep artist, who also wrote the music from the scene in which Ralph first goes into battle in Hero's Duty.

The Guard for the Baking Factory is Beard Papa, the mascot for a Japanese cream puff shop of the same name. While he is sleeping he is dreaming about cream puffs.

The train station of Nice Land shows that the population is 224x256, the common resolution of an 8-Bit game.

In the scene of Fix-It Felix Jr's party, Ralph is enraged by Gene and smashes the cake. The cake splatter around the room and on Ralph resembles the shape of an alien in "Space Invaders", an iconic arcade game released in 1978.
