Steve Hollar, who played the role of Rade Butcher in Hoosiers (1986), was actually a DePauw University basketball player during the making of the film. After the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) learned he was in the film, it was ruled that he was acting rather than playing and he was given a three-game suspension and fined 5 percent of his acting fee.

A while ago, I made a post that highlighted the new search engine, Bing, and it’s “Visual Search” function. And as it is pretty neat in a visual sense, I completely missed how it is wrong in some of the factual areas. Here is a screen capture from the “Famous Directors” visual search (I highlighted what was wrong):
So, as you can see, it is listing Michael Apted’s highest grossing movie as “Batman Begins”. That’s funny, I always thought Christopher Nolan directed that.
When I clicked on the image, it didn’t even list that anywhere in his repertoire, which is correct. So it may just be the visual search that has the inaccuracies. It does still say “beta”.
I’m not saying you shouldn’t use Bing or its visual search because it is still pretty neat, but just don’t believe everything you read.
Amity Island in Jaws(1975) was actually Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, with locals used as extras.
