The original concept for Stripes was "Cheech and Chong Join the Army".
But C&C wanted complete creative control and Ivan Reitman said no and went after Murray and Ramis.
The studio didnt't Ramis and wanted Dennis Quaid, but Murray said he wouldn't do it without Ramis.

Kim Basinger was first choice for Stella Hansen but wanted too much money so PJ Soles got the job instead.

They didn't tell the actors they were going to get the military buzzcuts, and thus their reactions, including John Candy's are genuine after the fact.

I think it may have been mentioned upthread that Belushi was gonna be in ghostbusters before he died. But didn't know Eddie Murphy was too. He turned it down to to BHC.

Well I"m about 7 years later to the party on trivia here, but I introduced my daughter to the original Arnold "Predator" film last night and 20 minutes in we get introduced to a character named Hawkins and a dead guy named Jim Hopper.

Others may have known this, but no didn't until recently.
Chuck Wepner, a journyman fighter, fought Ali in '75, knocked him down, and came within 19 seconds of going the full 15 with him.
Stallone was watching the fight and he became a major inspiration for Rocky, Wepner felt like he never got enough credit, and eventually sued Stallone. Was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. But Wepner led one crazy life. Still alive at 85 or so.

Uncle Frank's the only one who called it like it was. Kevin is an entitled little biatch who doesn't deserve that nice family.

Listened to the Rewatchables Happy Gilmore podcats today in honor of Carl Weathers and learned that Sandler wrote the part of Chubbs for John Amos.

Krum has been a perp/victim on L&O:SVU twice over the years and both times I've shouted "It's Bernard!" at my tv.

For anyone that's bored and has 45 minutes or so. here's the original script for Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
There were some great lines left out. But what's fascinating in reading it is the creative process to combine and move many of these scenes, change the plot slightly to make it a much better movie. Also how much they changed Russell Brand's character to suit him. How they kinda created a space for Jonah and for the newlywed couple.
