What was the font style used in the opening credits of Daphne & Velma? What was the font style used in the closing credits of The Dukes of Hazzard? Anyone know? 2603:7000:8100:BD38:A4BD:1648:D82:1530 ( talk) 07:38, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure I saw the Lon Chaney version of this film on TV some years back. It had a memorable song, so it must not have been the silent edition. I am certain it was not the 2004 film/musical/whatever. I remember the song melody but not many words: there was a refrain about "bringing peace to the twilight zone" or something like that. Web searches with these words only seem to find the Twilight Zone TV series. Anyone remember it? Know where I can find it? Thanks. 2601:648:8200:970:0:0:0:1A5F ( talk) 08:36, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
This is a plea to someone with sources beyond my reach. I've been working on an article on an Italian actor who had a career in Australia, which is coming along OK, but in the process I came across what I think is an error in the Italian Wikipedia. My man is Eduardo Majeroni (in userspace), and he had a more notable brother Achille Majeroni (theatre), now a stub. According to the It:Achille Majeroni dab page, Achille Majeroni, a quite important movie actor (used by Fellini) is a son of my stub. Almost impossible IMO. More likely a grandson but proof is outside my capabilities. Doug butler ( talk) 08:57, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
I'm not asking about quotes from movies that people get wrong, but are actually based on something that was in the movie (like "play it again, Sam" or "Luke, I am your father" - but rather things that people think are lines from movies, but nothing like that was said at all.
The example of this that springs to mind for me is how Michael Caine supposedly said "don't throw those bloody spears at me!" in Zulu. Except that he didn't. I watched it again not so long back and that line, or anything like it is *not* in the film. I swear, if that movie ever comes up in conversation round my way, there will always be someone who puts on the "angry Michael Caine voice" and says it. I just did a Google and I can find people talking about this, so I guess this isn't an isolated thing.
Are there any more famous examples like that? -- Iloveparrots ( talk) 22:21, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
