20 Bizarre Facts About El Chapo, Malcolm In The Middle, And The Tiny Arctic T Rex
Did you know that Robocop was filmed in Dallas? Even though the movie is set in Detroit, most of it was actually shot in Texas. In fact, the only real shots of Detroit are stock footage from the opening – that's it! And while we're on the subject of beloved sci-fi franchises, it turns out that Billy Idol almost played a Terminator in James Cameron's iconic movie. Can you imagine Billy Idol as a robot assassin? Storyboards for the film even had the T-1000 resembling him. However, Idol got into a serious motorcycle accident before filming and Robert Patrick ended up being cast as the T-1000 instead. Lastly, pivoting from movies to marketing, in 2009 Burger King released a promotional “Windows 7 Whopper” for customers in Japan. The burger contained seven patties and cost 777 Yen. It was available for just seven days after Windows 7 came out - talk about timely marketing! But after 30 customers bought one each day, the price rose to ¥1,450 ($17 USD).
