Wow. It's called.... King Kong Appears in Edo. Came out in 1938, and it either disappeared via carelessness or.... it was destroyed during the bombings in Japan during WWII. Wow. That's crazy shit. Guy who made that suit later helped make the Godzilla suit from 1954. Crazy.

Found this very brief clip on Youtube, but further searching debunked it pretty easily as footage from "Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century".

Super Dave Osbourne and Albert Brooks are brothers.
Super Dave Osbourne's real name is Bob Einstein, making Albert's real name (and stop me if you see where this is going) Albert Einstein.

When Dillinger was gunned down outside the Biograph, inside his pocket was a personal check from Chico Marx for a gambling debt.
Errol Flynn discovered Acapulco. He was floating on his yacht off the coast of Mexico, saw this really cool deserted beach and thought, "That'd be a good place to build a hotel".
Humphrey Bogart never received a Christmas present his entire life.
The James Bond book, For Your Eyes Only, which was five short stories, including From A View To A Kill and Quantum of Solace, were originally five episodes for a James Bond tv series that fell through.

Re: Little known but very interesting movie facts.
I recently learned a few things about Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, which may be my favorite comedy from the eighties:
1. It's a direct remake of "Bedtime Story" starring Marlon Brando and David Niven. Many of the gags are direct lifts from the older version. They changed the ending, that's all. Even the character names are the same.
2. It was originally written to star Mick Jagger and David Bowie.
3. It's the first time Frank Oz ever directed a live action movie. I'd say he did pretty well. Oz is like Zelig, he keeps popping up everywhere.
