Film Titles
It was only after Paul Newman was cast in the role of Butch for the film The Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy that the order of characters in the title was changed (obviously to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid).
The original title of Scream was Scary Movie.
Like many films, Airplane! has different titles in different countries. In Brazil it is called Tighten Up Your Seatbelt, The Pilot’s Gone!, whereas in Germany it is The Incredible Trip on a Crazy Airplane.
In China, Final Destination is called The Death God Comes.
Paramount Pictures insisted that quote marks be put around the crocodile in Crocodile
Dundee, so that potential audiences would not think the main character was an actual crocodile.
The original title of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids was Teenie Weenies.
In Brazil, distributors tried to capitalize on the success of Back to the Future by naming Michael J Fox’s next movie (which we know as Teen Wolf) Boy From the Future.
The working title for E.T. was actually A Boy’s Life.
Ghostbusters was allegedly originally going to be called Ghost Smashers.
Halloween was originally called The Babysitter Murders.
Star Wars
Star Wars was in fact originally called The Star Wars
In The Empire Strikes Back, if you look carefully, you’ll see both a potato and a shoe fly past the camera in the asteroid scene.
If Carrie Fisher hadn’t been available, George Lucas had Jodie Foster down as second choice for the role of Princess Leia.
Episode II had a rather tongue-in-cheek working title – Jar Jar’s Big Adventure.
Darth Vader only has twelve minutes on screen during the first Star Wars Film (A New Hope). Despite this, most people would say he is the character that made the biggest impression on them.
Alec Guinness absolutely hated Star Wars, saying that the dialogue was ‘a load of rubbish’. He even once said that killing off Obi Wan Kenobi was his idea.
Vader is actually the Dutch word for ‘father’.
Every single clone trooper featured in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith is CGI.
James Earl Jones (who voices Darth Vader) was so convinced the film would be a flop that he initially refused to allow his name to be used in the credits.
In the original script for The Star Wars, Luke Starkiller (yes) punches fourteen-year-old Princess Leia in the face.
Cameos
Tim Burton - whose films often have a rather dark and macabre feel - appears as a corpse in Danny DeVito’s 1992 film Hoffa.
In Catch Me If You Can, the French policeman who arrests Leonardo DiCaprio is in fact the real
