In the TV series of Tarzan, Ron Ely never did the famous yell... he was over dubbed wi the Johnny Weissmuller yin.
Actually, virtually all other Tarzans used the Weissmuller call!

I found this worth a chuckle. Kirkwood Smith was cast as Red on That 70's Show after Chuck Norris had to pass because he had a previous commitment - Walker Texas Ranger.

Love Labyrinth. Great flick... gonna down it now.
In Dr No, when Bond is driving the moon buggy, you can see one of the wheels of it bouncing past. That flick is a wealth o cock ups.

Author Ian Fleming wanted his cousin Christopher Lee to play Dr. No. (Lee would later appear as Scaramanga in the 007 flick The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), and would play the character that inspired Fleming to create Dr. No, Dr. Fu Manchu, in several films.) Fleming also asked Noel Coward to play the part of Dr. No. Coward turned down the part by replying with a telegram that read, "Dr. No? No! No! No!" One of Coward's objections was having to wear metal hands. Max von Sydow turned down the part in order to play Jesus Christ in The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965), and would finally play a Bond villain in Never Say Never Again (1983). The role went to Joseph Wiseman, the only early Bond villain not to have his voice dubbed by another actor.

Fleming only wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang due to constant haranguing off his son to write him a story.

Lots of people know that The Magnificent Seven by director John Sturges was a homage to the Japanese film Seven Samurai.
However, Akira Kurosawa had made Seven Samurai as a homage to John Ford's classic westerns.

The asteroid belt in The Empire Strikes Back is not all asteroids. The effects guys (at Lucas owned Industrial Light and Magic) sneaked in random objects such as a potato.

I even had my son watch The Seven Samurai to help with his reading skills. |
