First Blood (1982)

Trivia: In the introduction to the 1988 Hodder Headline edition of the novel First Blood, author David Morrell says that he got the name Rambo from both a variety of apple, and the writer Rimbaud: "A French author's name and the name of an apple collided, and I recognized the sound of force."

Suggested correction: According to legend, the car was stripped down to its chassis then rebuilt as a stagecoach for the movie.

It was apparently "stripped down and covered with a wagon." https://movieweb.com/why-sam-raimi-puts-his-car-in-his-movies/.

Trivia: This movie is based on a popular Urban Legend, as was another 1998 movie, The Curve/Dead Man's Curve. See: http://www.snopes.com/college/admin/suicide.asp.

Resident Evil (2002)

Trivia: George A. Romero was the original choice for writer and director for this project, and got as far as writing a script (which can be read on http://www.allmoviescripts.com/scripts/14934168593f510427668d1.html), but left due to creative differences.
