The LAPD got their panties in a bunch over their depiction, so to avoid a lawsuit the producers had the unies switch from wearing their badges over their heart, as is tradition, to over their right breast starting with episode 3. 4. Vic Mackey's iconic Polo Sport shades were a happy accident. The first day of filming was bright and Michael Chiklis didn’t have any sunglasses so he snagged a pair from a nearby bodega for $5. 3. Claudette was originally a man named “Charles” in the pilot script. When C.C.H. Pounder’s manager pushed for her to get an audition, she crushed it and creator Shawn Ryan immediately made the change. 2. The fisticuffs between Mackey and Kavenaugh at Lem’s murder scene was a little more real than intended. Equal parts miscommunication and misunderstanding, Chiklis’s shoulder smashed into Forest Whitaker’s face who responded by busting Chiklis’s lip. Nobody was seriously injured and the two were cool a few days later. 1. At 42 seconds long, the pause before Mackey gives his confession in the penultimate episode is one of the series’ heaviest moments. To bring it to life, Chiklis sat there playing out all his memories of the show, not just as his character, but as the actor who shared 7 years' worth of raw, vulnerable moments with his co-stars.

Jason’s design in Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood incorporates all of the wounds he sustained in parts II through VI, most notably his axe wound from Part III and his severed jaw from Part IV. 4. Part III picks up the day after Part II ends, meaning that it technically takes place on Saturday the 14th. Speaking of Part III... 3. It’s the only time in the original continuity that we ever see Jason run; most of the time, he seemingly teleports to outpace his victims which he actually did onscreen in Jason Takes Manhattan. 2. Ever wonder what happened to Trent, Megan Fox’s boyfriend in the first Transformers movie? Did you remember that she even had a boyfriend named Trent? Me neither. Turns out, Travis Van Winkle played the same character in the 2009 Friday the 13th remake, and Jason murdered the shit out of him. Guess that’s why he never showed back up in Transformers. 1. Kane Hodder, objectively the best Jason, set a Guinness World Record for longest uninterrupted full-body burn in Part VII; Hodder, who says this is his favorite stunt that he’s ever done, remained ablaze for a full forty-four seconds before being put out.

Before he was Batfleck, Ben Affleck had a small role in Buffy as a basketball player. His voice, however, didn’t make the final cut and was re-dubbed. 4. Dolly Parton: Vampire Slayer Producer. Her production company, Sandollar, not only produced the film, but held on to the TV rights and later produced the series as well; she was known to send the cast Christmas presents. 3. Already a rising star thanks to his breakout role as Dylan McKay on 90210, Buffy marks Luke Perry’s big screen debut. Another notable first timer: Hilary Swank. 2. If you can’t “beat ’em,” join ’em. To reclaim his image, and have a little fun at his own expense, Paul Reubens specifically told hair and makeup to make him look like his infamous mug shot from the year before, later saying, “It was the coolest I've ever looked.” 1. Kristy Swanson loved working with Rutger Hauer; however, his “methodical and deep” approach to his role may have been a bit much at times; she said he was a little too into their fight scene and joked that maybe they should shoot her double instead.

Large Marge wasn’t just nightmare-fuel for an entire generation, she also provided inspiration for “Henrietta’s” bug-eyes and mouth in Evil Dead 2.  4. Paul Reubens and Diane Salinger reunited with director Tim Burton for cameos in "Batman Returns,” playing The Penguin’s parents.  Speaking of Burton...  3. After vetoing Warner Bros.’ first choice for director, Paul Reubens was given one week to come up with a replacement.  Following an endorsement from Shelley Duvall and a screening of Frankenweenie, Reubens picked Tim Burton.                                                                                               2. The screenplay is sometimes taught in screenwriting courses because it follows the playbook on plot and structure.  Literally.  Paul Reubens and Phil Hartman had never written a script before, so they read “Screenplay” by Syd Field and did EXACTLY what it said.   1.  Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure features a slew of celebrity cameos.  A few of the less obvious ones are Tim Burton, Cassandra Peterson, a.k.a. “Elvira,” John Paragon, better known to Playhouse fans as Pterri and Jambi, and Miss Yvonne herself, Lynne Marie Stewart.  Check out more 5 Fun Facts shorts:   https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDNFnOXf_265jzvUTwfr3c73O7-oq6fu8  Written, edited, and narrated by @I.Am.Michael.Angelo https://www.IAmMichaelAngelo.com     Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/i.am.michael.angelo/     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IAmMichaelAngelo78/     Twitter: https://twitter.com/RagingDogsMike    Music: “Spirits of Yesteryear” by Michael Franklyn   Source: @EpidemicSound     Get great music like this for your next project: https://share.epidemicsound.com/107ddy  FREE Editing Software: @clipchamp   Auto-Captions Generated By: @CapCutOfficial  Don't forget to give this video a like and let me know in the comments if I made your day even just a little bit better :-)    Disclaimer: Some of these links go to my website and social media and some are affiliate links where I'll earn a small commission if you make a purchase at no additional cost to you.  #5FunFacts #FunFacts #PeeWeesBigAdventure #PeeWeeHerman #PaulReubens #LargeMarge #EvilDead2 #BatmanReturns #Frankenweenie #TimBurton #PhilHartman #Elvira #Jambi #MissYvonne

From Bad Guy to Jedi...The “Tank Crewman Hit by Periscope” near the climax of the film is none other than Nick Gillard who choreographed the balletic lightsaber fights in the Star Wars prequels. 4. ...As in that’s at least how many connections this film has to James Bond. Most obvious, Henry Jones, Sr. is played by O.G. Bond Sean Connery. He’s shot by Bond baddie Julian Glover with Bond’s signature weapon the Walter PPK. And both Sr. and Jr. (“Don’t call me that!”) sleep with Bond Girl Alison Doody. Speaking of Glover... 3. ...he played General Veers who commanded an AT-AT while leading the assault on Hoth in The Empire Strikes Back. 2. Harrison Ford personally suggested that River Phoenix play young Indy after the two starred together on Mosquito Coast, saying Phoenix actually resembled his younger self. 1. (“I have to ask you about The Penis Mightier.”) The two biggest blockbusters of the summer of ’89 both made the same joke...(Batman clip followed by Last Crusade clip.)

Although it wasn’t completely made from scratch. The headlights were upside-down Honda Civic headlights painted yellow, the tail lights came from a Ferrari, and the guns were Browning machine guns. 4. Kim Basinger got the role of Vicki Vale thanks to a horseback riding accident. Sean Young originally had the part, but after a riding injury, producers reached out to Basinger and, because she was available, flew her out to London right away. 3. Forget Air Jordans, let's talk Bat Boots by Nike. The rest of the suit may have been hot and uncomfortable for Michael Keaton, but his feet were spoiled; thanks to a deal between Warner Bros. and Nike, the latter made his boots from scratch based on one of their cross-trainers. 2. The announcement of Keaton as Batman caused such a backlash that Warner Bros. received over 50,000 angry letters. In response, they slapped together a trailer that proved so popular, fans bought tickets to movies just to see it and then left without watching the movie. 1. How do you wipe off one layer of makeup, revealing another layer underneath, without wiping off that layer? Simple. You paint Jack Nicholson with an acrylic adhesive mixed with white paint for the base coat, cover that with food-grade silicone oil so that nothing sticks to it, then carefully stipple a very thin coat of skin-colored grease paint on top.
