Sean (I can do any accent provided it`s Scotch) Connery didn't merely technically phone in his Highlander voice over for the beginning of the movie.
He actually literally did it while on the phone and on the toilet

True story !.

Still that`s far more straining an effort than he ever put into the Quickening sequel

Paid almost four million for a fortnights work and this is the best he could be arsed to give

Did you know that Van Morrison(I think it's him) who sings 'Ain't No Sunshine(Til she's gone) says 'I Know' 26 times in that verse - I think sometimes whoever wrote it just couldn't be bothered to write another line!

That's James Gadson, great R 'n B Drummer and a producer.

Correction to the afore-mentioned Mr Withers-it is 27 times not as stated, I counted again!

Did you know that Australia was originally called New Holland

And Did you know that the original name of Bank of America was Bank of Italy

In 1997 the movie 'Con Air' was released. In the same year, a movie with almost exactly the opposite title was also released: 'Cop Land'.

In the song "Take me back to Constantinople" (ask your parents) there is a line which says "Even old New York was once New Amsterdam..."

And on the subject of songs and lyrics-I hope this hasn't been posted here. I seem to recall on Radio 1 once Crowded House's Neil Finn's song 'Weather With You has the line 'walking round your room, in stormy weather at 57 Mount Pleasant Street' and he said to the DJ that the band decided to send a copy of their record(vinyl) around the world to every 57 Mount Pleasant Street they could find. I am not sure if this was successful but I can't imagine anyone doing that nowadays-of course it would be an MP3 these days, but at the time it was quite a good wheeze - especially if you lived in a No.57 in a street called Mount Pleasant
