    The most interesting fact about Pearl Harbour is that everyone who has seen this film puts it in there top 5 biggest regrets in life.

    Mine for example:

    1 Shagged my mates burd. Regretted it only cos she was fat and a ****e lay, not because she was engaged to him. I thought fatties were meant to be great as well.
    2 Never shagged a fit as **** burd at my work cos I was getting married in a few months
    3 Watched Pearl Harbour
    4 Never took a job in Australia cos I was getting married in a few months
    5 Got married.

    In Star Wars the lightsabers were meant to be blue for the good guys, red for the bad guys. In the 3rd film they had to change the blue to green for Luke Skywalker as the blue didn't work well in the desert scenes.

    For the new trilogy Samuel L Jackson asked specifically that he had a purple lightsaber.

    Brad Pitt's character is eating in nearly every scene he is in, in Oceans' 11. The director thought he should do this as he wouldn't have to time to sit and eat if they were planning a heist.

    Gabriel Byrne had a fallout with Bryan Singer after he read the end of the Usual Suspects. He had wanted to be Keyser Soze and even asked that Singer reconsider and alter the end of the movie.

    Tarrantino had the idea for Kill Bill after writing Mia Wallace's lines in Pulp Fiction about her failed TV Pilot Fox Force 5, about a group of women that were the dealiest in the world and each had a speciality for killing.

    I reckon those that did it were probably not too averse to the idea of suicide anyway, and were just "letting God decide".

    Al Pacino turned down the role of Jimmy Cinway in Goodfellas across of being typecast.

    Joe Pesci's "How am I funny" scene was from his real life experience working as a waiter and serving a mobster.

    Dirty Harry was written for Frank Sinatra, but he had a broken hand at the time, so some other bloke got the part.

    In Lord of the Rings - Two Towers, there is a brief shot in the battle scene, of a one-eyed man yelling out commands. The man is actually one-eyed and auditioned with an eye patch on initially, however Peter Jackson asked if he would take off the eye patch for the scene and after a bit of persuading (and probably more money), he did.
