FILM 1226: URBAN LEGEND
TRIVIA: The killers outfit is based
on the fact that the film was originally planned to be set in the middle of
winter. When the weather was too warm it was decided to drop the winter aspect
of the storyline, rather than fake snow in all the outdoor scenes and dress all
the extras in winter outfits, but they kept the killers costume.
At the end of the movie, students
from an unnamed college recount the movie's events as an urban legend. They
joke about the tale's validity, and one says, "And I bet Brenda was the
girl from the Noxzema commercials." Actress Rebecca Gayheart, who
plays Brenda in the film, did indeed appear in several commercials for Noxzema.
The car driven in the beginning was
originally supposed to be a Land Rover. It was changed to the Ford Expedition
(the largest 4x4 available at the time) because the filmmakers discovered they
couldn't swing an axe inside a Land Rover.
The book sitting on the desk in
Professor Wexler's desk in his class is "The Vanishing Hitchhiker,"
which is one of the seminal texts on urban legends.
The author of "The
Encyclopedia of Urban Legends" is Charles Breen. The doctor on Tosh's
bottle of lithium is a doctor Charles Breen. Charles William Breen is
the production designer.
The last name of Natasha Gregson
Wagner's character is 'Mancini'. Don Mancini
is the name of the writer of all the "Child's Play" films, and the
other actor that is featured in the beginning of the film, Brad Dourif, does the
voice of Chucky.
