Life Of Brian
This film was initially banned in Norway for blasphemy. It wasn't released there until 1980. Subsequently, it has been marketed in Sweden as "The film that is so funny that it was banned in Norway!"

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Black Knight was first played by John Cleese, but when Arthur cuts off the first leg a real one-legged actor (a local silversmith) was used.

And a 5 ounce bird cannot carry a one pound coconut.

Dumb & Dumber
Jim Carrey refused to shoot an alternate ending of Harry and Lloyd getting on the bus with the Tropicana girls.
In the scene where Harry & Lloyd are escaping the "gas man", when they are running out to the dog van, there is a guy in the background urinating against a wall.
Lovely.

There's Something About Mary
When Ted goes out to pee after talking with the hitchhiker, he encounters many homosexuals. Almost all of them are crew members.
During the scene in which Ted and Mary are sitting on Ted's car in front of Mary's house, during their first date, you can see that in the background of a house right behind them, towards the top someone is making hand puppets in the light and you can see these hand puppets for several minutes during the scene.

The Mexican restaurant Veronica visits with the girls from the station is named "Escupimos en su Alimento". In Spanish, that means, "We spit in your food".

Meet The Fockers
The MPAA would not allow the movie to use the title unless they found a family with the name "Focker"

Meet The FockersThe MPAA would not allow the movie to use the title unless they found a family with the name "Focker" Lol! I like that! ;D AladdinThe opening scene with the street merchant was completely unscripted. Robin Williams was brought into the sound stage and was asked to stand behind a table that had several objects on it and a bed sheet covering them all. The animators asked him to lift the sheet, and without looking take an object from the table and describe it in character. Much of the material in that recording session was not appropriate for a Disney film. When Aladdin puts Jafar back into the lamp, the spell on the other characters is broken - the Magic Carpet gets returned to normal, and Jasmine's dress turns back from red to blue. Start watching when Jasmine's tiger cub jumps into the Sultan's arms. When the cub hits his arms and starts to grow back into a tiger, just before he becomes normal, the tiger's face appears as Mickey Mouse for one frame. In the original recording for the opening song "Arabian Nights", part of the song originally went "where they cut off your ear, if they don't like your face". After the movies release Arabic Americans took offense so the line was changed to: "where it's flat and immense, and the heat is intense". If you listen closely, you can hear a distinct vocal change when he sings: "it's barbaric, but hey it's home!" Scheduling conflicts with "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987) forced Patrick Stewart to turn down the role of Jafar. He has said in interviews that this is his biggest regret.

Star Wars
Later in his life, Alec Guinness always recalled the experience of making the movie as a bad one and consistently claimed that it was his idea to have his character killed in the first film, so he "wouldn't have to carry on saying these rubbish lines". He also recalled an occasion when he was confronted by a fan who claimed to have watched the film many times. He said that he asked the fan to do something for him, and that when the young man eagerly answered that he would do anything for Obi-Wan Kenobi, he said, "I want you to promise me that you will never watch it again."

From Dusk 'til Dawn
There was a special makeup effect in which one of the stripper-vampires has a large mouth instead of a normal stomach. In the particular scene, she shoves a bar attendant's head in the large mouth, and bites it off. The effect was so graphic that writer/actor Quentin Tarantino didn't even want to see it. The scene can be accessed in the outtakes section on the special edition DVD.
Green blood was used for the vampires to get the movie past the censors.
According to the DVD featurettes, when Sex Machine is throwing around the other characters, Tom Savini actually punches many of the actors, including George Clooney.

Gangs of New York
Martin Scorsese ends the film with a shot of the New York skyline which includes the World Trade Center Towers, even though the film was finished after the buildings were destroyed in the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. Scorsese chose to end on that shot rather then continue with a skyline without the WTC because the movie is supposed to be about the people who build New York, not those who tried to destroy it.
When Boss Tweed considers being with a prostitute, Bill The Butcher warns Tweed that she's been "frenchified". Frenchified was an 18th century term for venereal disease. ;D

Green Mile
Harry Dean Stanton appears in the film. There is a character named Harry, and another named Dean Stanton. This is merely a happy coincidence since the characters' names existed in the book long before Harry Dean Stanton was cast in the movie.
When Stephen King visited the set he asked to be strapped into Old Sparky to see how it felt. He didn't like it and asked to be released.
