Peter Cushing had gone to Hollywood before the war, but things hadn't worked out too well, and he ended up doing a variety of odd jobs, which is how he came to be making props (not acting) on this movie. One day he had the job of making flags for model boats to be pushed around a map, and he made a lot of swastikas and laid them out in his digs. They were found by his landlady, who promptly called the police.

RE: Skyfall - Trivia, Questions and Fun Facts
Screenwriter Peter Morgan left the production when development was suspended, due to MGM's bankruptcy. Morgan later declared that ideas from his first draft were still retained by the Logan, Purvis, and Wade screenwriting team, including the film's "big hook". Character and plot details from the script were kept under tight wraps during principal photography, with the names and identities of several characters, such as those played by Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris and Albert Finney, being kept a secret for several months. The script was heavily revised by John Logan, even throughout filming. When filming wrapped, it had been revised thirteen times since the third draft.

RE: Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Trivia, Questions and Fun Facts
The film's soundtrack provided a debut for the Blaster Beam, an electronic instrument twelve to fifteen feet (3.7 to 4.6 meters) long. It was created by musician Craig Huxley, who played a small role in an episode of the original television series. The Blaster had steel wires connected to amplifiers fitted to the main piece of aluminum; the device was played with an artillery shell. Jerry Goldsmith heard it and immediately decided to use it for V'Ger's cues. Several state-of-the-art synthesizers were used as musical instruments, notably the Yamaha CS-80, ARP 2600, Oberheim OB-X, and Serge synthesizer.

RE: Kill Bill: Vol. 2 - Trivia, Questions and Fun Facts
Quentin Tarantino: [long take] The "Massacre at Two Pines" ends with the camera following The Bride down the aisle away from Bill to the altar. We then "float" away from the altar, down the aisle, past Bill, out the door to the awaiting members of the DiVAS. Once they enter, the camera cranes up off the ground where we hear the pandemonium inside the chapel until finally fading out. All in a single take.
