THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• Edward Norton re-edited Tony Kaye's final cut of the film to lengthen the screentime and as a result he requested his name be removed from the credits of the film and be replaced with the name Humpty Dumpty. The studio agreed, but according to a rule in the Director's Guilde Of Amerirca, any person who wishes to uses a psudeynoymn in place of their real name can not disclose the reason they didn't want credit for their work. Tony Kaye proceeded to tell magazines and various memebers of the press why he didn't want the credit and his name was reinstated into the credits for the final movie. He then sued New Line and the Director's Guilde for $275 million dollars claiming they were infringing on his right to free speech.
• The punk-band Anti-heroes also sued New Line for defamation for having a Nazi skin-head appear in the film with a tattoo of the band.
