00:00I thought you said she was dead.
00:02That was her sister, the Wicked Witch of the East.
00:04This is the Wicked Witch of the West.
00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're answering movie trivia questions.
00:10Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place.
00:18Number 10. In Pulp Fiction, all the clocks are set to 420.
00:22Quentin Tarantino sure knows a lot about cinematic history,
00:25and his films are a treasure trove of Easter eggs and cool references.
00:29However, for all those who like telling people that all the clocks in Pulp Fiction are set to 420,
00:34cut it out!
00:35Where's my watch?
00:36Yes, there are some 420 clocks in the film,
00:39a couple of which can be seen in the pawn shop when Butch goes to save Marcellus,
00:43but a few isn't all.
00:45And there are a whole bunch of shots of clocks and watches in the movie that aren't set to 420,
00:50including the watch Captain Coon's hands to a kid Butch.
00:53You know, the one he wore where the sun don't shine.
00:55This watch was on your daddy's wrist when he was shot down on Hanoi.
01:00Number 9. Braveheart was not filmed in three weeks.
01:03We're not sure where this one came from,
01:05but one rumor claims Mel Gibson only took three weeks to film Braveheart.
01:09Were this true, we would be truly amazed.
01:12You alright? You look a wee bit shaky.
01:15Having seen the film many times,
01:17we would be more likely to believe that it took three weeks to film one of those amazing battle sequences.
01:26In actuality, Gibson and the crew spent June to October of 1994
01:31filming the movie in Ireland and Scotland.
01:33Nothing good has ever rushed,
01:35so we're glad to see Gibson took the time he needed to capture his vision.
01:38They may take our lives,
01:41but they'll never take our freedom!
01:46Number 8. David Ayer only had two weeks to write the script for Suicide Squad.
01:51While it might seem, to anyone who saw the 2016 film,
01:54that the script was written quickly,
01:56the much-bollied-around two-week rumor is just not true.
01:59It's taken some work,
02:01but I finally have done the worst of the worst.
02:04This is according to the one person who would know better than anyone else,
02:07writer-director David Ayer himself.
02:09When someone on Twitter repeated the false claim,
02:11Ayer actually responded, saying, quote,
02:13Script in two weeks is meme garbage.
02:16Seriously, what the hell's wrong with you people?
02:20We're bad guys, it's what we do.
02:23That might also be a word people would use to describe the script and the film itself,
02:27but we digress.
02:33Number 7. The beer can that hits John Malkovich in Being John Malkovich was unscripted.
02:38We gotta give it to the guy who created the fake director's commentary.
02:41If we didn't know any better,
02:42we would totally believe it was Spike Jonze talking about how an extra got drunk on set,
02:46threw the beer can at Malkovich,
02:48and they kept it in the movie because Jonze loved it.
02:50Hey Malkovich, think fast!
02:54But the truth is, the scene was very much scripted,
02:56a fact that John Malkovich himself has confirmed in multiple interviews,
02:59in an attempt to refute the rumor.
03:01No!
03:03One thing that is true, though,
03:04is that the guy who threw the can hit Malkovich square on the back of the head
03:08on the first take.
03:09There's some actual movie trivia for ya.
03:11It's my head, Schwartz!
03:14It's my head!
03:16Number 6. The rain in Singing in the Rain was milk.
03:19There's a lot of false trivia surrounding this iconic film,
03:22particularly the titular scene in which Gene Kelly dances and sings in the rain.
03:26I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain.
03:33What a glorious feeling, I'm happy again.
03:40While there are those who like to tell you that Kelly filmed the entire sequence in one take,
03:44the truth is, it took two to three days to get it all done.
03:47Then, there's the even weirder bit of trivia,
03:49which posits that the rain in the scene was mixed with milk
03:52in order for it to show up better on camera.
03:54Come on with the rain, I have a smile on my face.
04:00The truth is that, yes, they did have to take certain steps
04:03in order for the rain to pop on screen,
04:05but it wasn't done with milk.
04:06It was done with backlighting.
04:09Dancing and singing in the rain.
04:17Number 5. Snow White is the first ever animated film.
04:21To answer this one correctly, one must listen very carefully to the question being asked.
04:26You see, while it might sound like a bit of a technicality,
04:29Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
04:31is the first full-length cell animated movie ever made.
04:35And I've been tricked.
04:37But it isn't the first animated movie ever.
04:39That honor goes to a 1926 German film called The Adventures of Prince Achmed,
04:44which was produced using a silhouette animation technique.
04:50Well, actually, Prince Achmed is the oldest surviving animated feature film.
04:54There were two movies made in Argentina prior to Prince Achmed,
04:57but they have been lost.
04:58See what we mean about listening to the question?
05:00I'm surprised.
05:04Number 4. Jenny died of AIDS in Forrest Gump.
05:07There's no denying how heartbreaking it is when Jenny passes away at the end of Forrest Gump.
05:11What can be denied is that her passing was definitively as a result of the AIDS virus.
05:16You died on a Saturday morning.
05:18Winston Groom, the man who wrote the novel on which the film is based,
05:22has said that in his mind, the virus that took Jenny's life was Hepatitis C.
05:26It is worth noting, however, that screenwriter Eric Roth admitted that in the film,
05:30they intended for it to be AIDS.
05:33I'm sick.
05:35The fact still remains that the virus is never mentioned in the movie,
05:38and when director Robert Zemeckis was asked if it was AIDS,
05:41he said, it could have been, but it didn't matter.
05:44And the doctors don't, they don't know what it is, and there isn't anything they can do about it.
05:49Number 3. Heath Ledger improvised the explosion scene in The Dark Knight.
05:58Possibly the most famous scene in The Dark Knight
06:00is the one where the Joker walks off after blowing up the hospital in the background.
06:04The timing of the explosion doesn't go as planned,
06:06and he smacks the remote detonator a few times to get it to work.
06:13The popular behind-the-scenes account of this scene
06:15is that the explosion not going off right away was a mishap on set
06:19that Heath Ledger managed to improvise with.
06:21While it's a great story, it's utterly false.
06:23As Christopher Nolan has confirmed himself,
06:25every second of that scene was rehearsed endlessly,
06:28and it went exactly as it was supposed to go.
06:34Number 2. A munchkin died during The Wizard of Oz.
06:43When The Wizard of Oz movie comes up in conversation,
06:45there are usually two things you're almost guaranteed to hear someone say.
06:48There are the people who will ask if you've ever watched the film
06:51synced to The Dark Side of the Moon,
06:53and at least one person who has to tell you about the hanging munchkin in the background.
06:58Because, because, because, because,
07:01because of the wonderful things he does.
07:03While it's pretty cool to watch the film synced to the Pink Floyd album,
07:06you can rest assured that you won't glimpse any sort of remains on screen.
07:09What you're actually looking at is the silhouette of a bird on set,
07:12something that can be more obviously seen in the 1980 TV broadcast.
07:16We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz.

07:38Number 1. Hitchcock directed the famous MGM logo.
07:44There are many parts to this myth, so bear with us.
07:47The story goes that Alfred Hitchcock was directing the lion in the iconic MGM Roar logo
07:52when two robbers snuck onto the lot.
07:54One killed one of them, and the other was hit by a car while trying to get away.
07:57The next day, the lion, all shaken up by the events, killed his trainer.
08:01It might come as no surprise that the entire tale is a fabrication,
08:04including Hitchcock directing the logo sequence.
08:07You can also take comfort in there being no record of any of the MGM lions ever mauling anyone.
08:12As for that famous photo of him and the lion, that was promo for North by Northwest.
