Trivia (part1)

Amanda Bynes' character, Penny, is seen constantly eating lollipops. Her father, who is a dentist, became very worried for Amanda's dental health, as it was estimated she ate about 40 lollipops a day. Amanda told him that she wasn't really eating all of them, when in reality she ate them all.
It took John Travolta four hours to put on the 30-pound fat suit and 5 gel-filled silicone face prosthetics to become Edna Turnblad. *
This film brings together John Travolta who starred in Grease (1978), and Michelle Pfeiffer who starred in Grease 2 (1982). One day, while the cast was waiting between takes, Travolta began singing "Summer Nights". Co-stars Amanda Bynes and Zac Efron were so excited that they immediately began sending text messages to their friends about what was happening. *
Amanda Bynes' pigtails took two hours in hair and make-up every morning.
*
Adam Shankman made Zac Efron make out with the picture frame in the "Without Love" sequence for over an hour.
*
Most of the cast jokingly called "You Can't Stop the Beat" "you can't stop to breathe" because of its pace and fast-moving lyrics. Queen Latifah said she had no trouble singing a lot of words very quickly because of her background as a rapper. *
After Penny and Seaweed fall in love, she sings, "And if they try to stop us, Seaweed/We'll call the N-double A-C-P." Until the Supreme Court's 1967 decision in Loving v. Virginia, interracial marriage was illegal in 17 states, including Maryland. In Baltimore, Maryland, in 1962, Seaweed and Penny's relationship was illegal.
*
Penny Pingleton's dress in the "You Can't Stop the Beat" song was made from the curtains in her room.
*
Film debut of Nikki Blonsky, who celebrated her 18th birthday with her family and friends while on the set of this movie. *
When Prudy Pingleton reads the Bible out loud to herself, she reads Genesis 19:30-38, in which Lot's daughters get their father drunk and then conceive children with him.
*
Elijah Kelley had to go through an hour of hair dressing every day.
*
Costume designer Rita Ryack actually got vintage outfits for some of the characters to wear during a number of the scenes shot in the high school. Link Larkin's blue sweater was a sweater vest found at a vintage shop. *
Actor Dermot Mulroney plays cello on the soundtrack along with the Hollywood Studio Orchestra. *
With $27.5 million, this had the best opening ever for a movie musical until Mamma Mia! (2008). *
The "Nicest Kids in Town" are: Amber Von Tussle, Brad, Tammy, Fender, Brenda, Sketch, Shelley, IQ, Lou-Ann, Joey, Mickey, Vicki, Becky, Bix, Jessie, Darla, Paulie, Noreen, Doreen, Link Larkin and (when Brenda leaves) Tracey Turnblad.
*
To facilitate filming for the "Run and Tell That" dance number, the production cut up a 1957 GMC transit bus into 9 pieces.
*
According to Film Journal International, the song "Big, Blonde and Beautiful (Reprise)" was added in as at the suggestion of Michelle Pfeiffer to replace a scripted scene, giving her the chance to sing. *
The creative team modified several songs from the Original Broadway production, removed others, and added some new songs. "Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now", a number performed in the stage musical by Tracy, Penny, and Amber opposite their respective mothers, was reluctantly cut from the script during pre-production - but was sung over the credits by all three "original" Tracys ( Ricki Lake, Marissa Jaret Winokur, and Nikki Blonsky). *
While the crew liked the song, screenwriter Leslie Dixon felt the number did not adequately advance the plot, and would also be impossible to film without a three-way split screen, which neither she nor director Adam Shankman wanted to use. "It Takes Two", sung in the stage musical by Link to Tracy during her first day on "The Corny Collins Show", was moved to an earlier scene in the film; Link sings it just before Tracy learns that the TV station will be holding auditions for a new Council Member. *
However, only the song's coda remains in the final release. "Cooties", performed by Amber at the climactic "Miss Teenage Hairspray" pageant in the stage musical, is an instrumental during the pageant contestants' dance-off. "Mama" and "It Takes Two" are also instrumentals during scenes featuring broadcasts of "The Corny Collins Show". A reprise of "Big, Blond, and Beautiful", sung by Velma and Edna, was added to the film as part of a new subplot involving Velma Von Tussle's attempt to seduce Tracy's father Wilbur.
*
"I Can Wait", a climactic ballad written for the film, was to have been performed by Tracy as she is hiding out in Penny's basement. The sequence was cut from the final release print. "The New Girl in Town" was written for the stage musical, dropped during the workshopping stage, resurrected, and used in this film to underscore Tracy's rise-to-fame montage, and to show "The Corny Collins Show" on Negro Day.
*
"Ladies' Choice", performed by Link at a school dance, was added to replace "The Madison", a dance number carried over into the stage musical from Hairspray (1988). "Come So Far (Got So Far to Go)" was written for the film for use during the closing credits.

Trivia(fin)
Amber is the only blonde among The Nicest Kids In Town
(bravo ! ça c'est un scoop et il y a 8 connards qui ont trouvé ça intéressant)
*
The first time a John Waters story made into a movie was not filmed in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland; Toronto was used instead. *
In a classroom scene, a teacher mentions that Everest is not Earth's highest geographical point. She asks what the actual highest point is, and the bell rings. The answer is Mt. Chimborazo in Ecuador, which is the furthest point from the Earth's center, but closer to local sea level than Everest. (The Earth bulges at the equator.) However, as the movie is set in 1962, and the analysis that led to Mt. Chimborazo being described that way was performed recently, it is extraordinarily unlikely that's what the teacher is referring to. Also, by the measurement that lists Mt. Chimborazo is highest, Everest is not 2nd, but 10th. Almost certainly, the reference is to K2, which is a point of contention.
*
Arvin Hodgepile and Franklin von Tussle, two characters from the 1988 film, do not appear in this version. The actors who played them died: Divine in 1988 and Sonny Bono in 1998.
The soundtrack for the new "Hairspray" features a rendition of all of the "original" Tracys ( Ricki Lake from the first film, Marissa Jaret Winokur from the Broadway cast, and Nikki Blonsky from this film) singing "Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now". Harvey Fierstein appears near the end, but he isn't credited. *
The original Broadway production of "Hairspray" opened at the Neil Simon Theater on August 15, 2002, ran for 2,642 performances and won the 2003 Tony Awards for the Best Musical, Best Book and Best Score. It is Broadway's 21st longest running show ever (February 2013). Cast included Marissa Jaret Winokur (Tracy), Harvey Fierstein (Edna), Clarke Thorell (Corny Collins), Laura Bell Bundy (Amber), Matthew Morrison (Link), Kerry Butler (Penny), Linda Hart (Velma), Dick Latessa (Wilbur), Corey Reynolds (Seaweed) and Mary Bond Davis (Motormouth Maybelle).
Four songs were written for the film, but didn't make the final cut: "I Can Wait" (the only one filmed, available on Special Edition DVD), "Mrs. Von Tussle Says" (meant to replace Miss Baltimore Crabs), "Save Your Applause 'Till The End" (Velma follows Tracy around, complaining), and "Turn Back The Hands of Time" (Original "Come So Far"). All 4 songs are on the 2-Disc Special Edition Soundtrack.

John Travolta had input on the fat suit. He wanted it to look more realistic than normal fat suits.

John Waters: The flasher in the opening 'Good Morning Baltimore' sequence.

Spoilers
The trivia item below may give away important plot points.
The song "You Can't Stop the Beat" was changed for the movie version. When it is performed of Broadway the last verse is sung by Velma and Amber von Tussel, providing a form of redemption for the villainous characters. This does not happen in the movie. The Broadway lyrics are: Ever since we first saw the sun/It seems von tussle girls are always Tryin' to please someone/But now we're gonna shake and shimmy it/And have some fun Today! In the movie this is changed to: Ever since we first saw the sun/a man and woman liked to shake it when the day is done/And so I'm going to shake and shimmy and have some fun today.

Résumé
Walter Garber est aiguilleur du métro à New York. Comme chaque jour, il veille au bon déroulement du trafic, lorsque la rame Pelham 123 s'immobilise sans explication. C'est le début du cauchemar. Ryder, un criminel aussi intelligent qu'audacieux, a pris en otage la rame et ses passagers. Avec ses trois complices lourdement armés, il menace d'exécuter les voyageurs si une énorme rançon ne lui est pas versée très vite. Entre les deux hommes commence un incroyable bras de fer. Chacun ses atouts, chacun ses secrets, et le face-à-face risque de faire autant de victimes que de dégâts. La course contre la montre est lancée…

Réception

- " il n'y a pas de quoi descendre en courant dans les escaliers du métro" [3]
- "cette version réchauffée du thriller souterrain des années '70 est une grosse redondance à la Tony Scott" [4]
- "pas mauvais, mais pas très bon non plus" [5].
