I watched a youtube vlog recently that mentioned that in almost all night scenes in movies they wet the roads to have a special "look" or "effect" .
I don't now how true this is but I was wondering what other well known or little known movie facts are known.

The Fast Show; ' Aren't sequels brilliant? They're the
same film but with a number, like two, or three.....'
Bender in Futurama was named after John Bender in The Breakfast Club.
If that isn't trivia, I don't know what is
It was an homage to a scene in 'Roman Holiday' when Gregory Peck puts his hand into the mouth of a statue and pretends that it has bitten his hand off, much to the horror of Audrey Hepburn who was not aware that he was going to do it.
Before his untimely death in 73 Bruce Lee was going to make a martial arts "buddy" film with Elvis.
In Star Trek: The Voyage Home, the character of Gillian, the Whale expert was originally meant to be played by Eddie Murphy.

What a challenging romance for The Shatner that would have been.:D

Complete rubbish.
He is an industrial bending unit, so called bender?
It certainly sounds like Martin Sheen and I have sat and watched it a couple of Times with headphones on.
Nope...an oft disputed urban myth.
Firstly, the image was actually a cardboard standee of Danson's character from a theatre/tv production that was supposed to have featured in the film, but the scene was cut.
Secondly, the myth behind this legend is that a young boy commited suicide in the building in which the film was made...hence the ghost...however, the film was shot on a soundstage/studio, hence the whole thing is nonsense.
Truth is the school chapel scenes were going to be difficult to light correctly for colour and location time was limited. Dir. Lindsay Anderson then chose to shoot them in B/W, and liked it so much he chose other sequences to shoot in B/W later on.
