Spider-Man 3 Trivia:

• Ground corn was used as sand because it reflected well on camera.

• While promoting the film on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”, Thomas Haden Church revealed that he broke three knuckles during the subway scene where he swings to punch Spider-Man and ends up punching a chunk of the wall away. Church said that the effects crew had told him that the brick in the middle was fake while the upper and lower ones were real, sure enough, the foam brick had not actually been put in place yet and when Sam Raimi yelled action, Church punched the real brick on the first take.

• Kirsten Dunst, a natural blonde, plays redhead Mary Jane, while Bryce Dallas Howard, a natural redhead, plays blonde Gwen Stacy.

• The photograph of Mary Jane next to Peter’s police scanner is the picture he took of her at the science exhibit in the first Spider-Man movie.

• Dr. Curt Connors (Dylan Baker) was origanally going to be the main villain for this film. There is a lizard skeleton in Dr. Connors’ laboratory that hints this metamorphosis. Another hint is the fact that his right arm is missing. In the comics, he tried to restore it using reptile DNA, which led to his transformation.

• Topher Grace left “That ’70s Show” to star in this movie.

• The girl who gives her camera to J. Jonah Jameson for $100 is actually Sam Raimi’s daughter, Emma Raimi.

• Co-creator of Spider-man Stan Lee makes an appearance as the man who tells Peter how great Spider-man is.

• Topher Grace is never referred to as “Venom” once in the entire movie.

• When the symbiote attaches to Peter’s motorcycle license plate, it takes on the shape of a V (for Venom).

High School Musical 2

High School Musical 2! The sequel to one of the biggest phenomena in the world, High School Musical. The premiere of High School Musical 2 brought in about 17.5 million viewers in Asia!

Plot outline:

During the summer vacations a talent show is organized in a local country club and Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Ryan, Chad and Taylor take part in it.

Trivia of High School Musical 2:

1) Ryan Evans wore 15 hats during the movie

2) In the scene in the kitchen, Troy’s cell phone rings the tone “Getcha Head in the Game” from the first movie

3) Miley Cyrus appears in the end scene, singing “All For One”. She is wearing a yellow dress and the camera is only on her for a few seconds.

4) During filming the end scene all the six main characters jumped into the pool. However, only Troy and Gabriella’s jump made the final film cut.

5) Sharpay’s dog Boi is actually called Manly and belongs to Kenny Ortega which is the director of the movie.

6) The T-shirts Chad wore through the movie read as follows: - I majored in vacation - Warning! Do not read this shirt! - Viva la basketball - He did it - I just look like him

7) The coaster of people doing the wave, at the opening scene in “What time is it” was started by the HSM cast/dancers and Kenny Ortega. Since all the cast/dancers were sore from dance rehearsals, they sat in a line on the floor and began to massage each-other. When Kenny saw this, he told them lean to the right (one by one in a wave), and so they did. Then he decided for them to try it standing up, and when they did so, he used it in the movie in during the opening song.
