    Fact !!!!

    Predator was supposed to be played by Jean Claude van damme. But then they cast that Peter hall bloke cos of his height.

    Tom Selleck was first choice for indiana jones, but he signed for magnum PI

    Dougray Scott (Scottish cop in twin town) was first choice for wolverine in xmen but chose mission impossible 2

    Eric Stolz played the first marty mc fly and they shot for 6 weeks, then first choice Michael J Fox was allowed to film by Family ties in between.

    Anyone else know of any other movie facts.

    Not film but "Del Boy" Trotter was originally meant to be Jim Broadbent before it was offered to David Jason.
    He obviously then went on to play Slater.

    I read somewhere that Van Damme actually filmed some scenes of Predator, but got kicked out because of his attitude.
    My movie fact is James Caan was offered the role of McMurphy in One flew over the cuckoos nest, but turned it down. Jack Nicholson ended up playing the part.

    Also the scene where he shot the sword fighter was done cos on the day Harrison Ford had a bad guts, so the big fight scene was arranged to the cut we see in the movie.

    I thought it was because ford couldn't use a sword and they didn't have time to train him...

    I tend to agree with that but the version I heard was they shot the scene all of one day and the next day the director still wasn't happy and decided he wanted to do it more.
    ford felt terrible so half way through the take he just drew the gun and 'shot' the guy. apparently it wasn't rehearsed or scripted.

    Apparently they didn't bother to get blank rounds for that film and when Ford ad-libbed shooting the Arab sword guy he was struck in the femoral artery and bled out on set but because the shoot was in the Middle East they just shoved the corpse into a nearby open sewer and tossed the widow a few shekels for her trouble.

    This enabled her to upgrade from a hole in the ground to a lean-to and she said "It was the happiest day of my life, not only because we now had cover from the rain but also because neither myself or my daughter had to put up with his stinking, oniony dick every evening".

    Those are her words, don't shoot the messenger.

    I heard that he shot him on the spur of the moment, although he did have the squits, and they kept it in the filum

    He sort of did before Bruce Willis in a film called The Detective.
    He played a character called Joe Leland based on a book by Roderick Thorp.
    The 'Die Hard' novel by Roderick Thorp is called "Nothing Lasts Forever" and features Joe Leland going to the Nakamura Building to visit his daughter, NOT estranged wife.
