Does guinness book know everything?
Guinness Book of World Records is an encyclopedia of various facts, names and events that have only one thing in common: each of them is a record. (Present Indefinite, active) It can be a record of weight or height, speed or strength, the sum of money paid on the auction or stolen from a bank.
Cinema also has its own records fixed in Guinness Book. (Present Indefinite, active)
The longest film running 85 hours of screen time is “The Cure of Insomnia” (1987) directed by John Henry Timmis.
The film that became a screen-life-champion was “Emmanuelle”. It was screened since the 26th of June 1974 till the 26th of February 1985 in one cinema house in Paris.
The :most popular screen character is Sherlock Holmes. This part has been played by 70 actors in 197 films since 1900. The most popular screen character of horror films is Dracula played 155 times.
The greatest number of costumes designed was for the film “Quo Vadis?” (1951). You just cannot imagine it! There were 32 thousand costumes used. (Past Indefinite, active) But the record number of costumes changed in one film by one actress (65 ones) belongs to Elizabeth Taylor in “Cleopatra”
The most cruel film (23 murders and 245 acts of violence during 109 minutes of screen time) is "Rambo III".
The person who has been awarded the greatest number of prizes (32 ones) given by the US Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences since 1929 is Walt Disney. Katherine Hapburn (born in 1909) was awarded 4 Oscars for playing the main parts in 4 films: “Morning Glory” shot in 1933; “Guess Who Is Coming to Dinner” shot in 1967; “The Lion in Winter” shot in 1968; “On golden Pond” shot in 1981.
The youngest Oscar nominee was Shirley Temple born in 1929. (Past Indefinite, active) She was awarded this prize in 1934 when she was a five-year-old girl.
The greatest number of Oscars (11) was given to the film “Ben Hur” shot in 1959.
By the way, do you know why the prize itself is called “Oscar”?
The origin of this most prestigious prize is very curious. When the first statuettes given to the best film-makers were exhibited at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences the executive secretary of this institution exclaimed in great surprise: “Fantastic! It looks exactly like my uncle Oscar.” So the prize was given the name of Oscar Pierce from Texas.
But cinema is not only an art, it is also a kind of business. And taken as business it has its own records.
The record sum invested into a film is $69million.
It was spent on the shooting of “Rambo III” in 1988.
The biggest net profit received from the distribution of a film is $228 million. (Present Indefinite, active) Such a sum was brought by the release of “The Extra- Terrestrial”.
The record of the box-office return was set by the film “Indiana Jones and Temple of Doom” on the 27th of May 1984. Only one day of its domestic release brought $9.324.760.
The most well-paid star of the world cinema is Sylvester Stallone.
He got $12 million for his participation in “Cobra” and the same sum for “Over the Top” $16 million for “Rocky IV” and $19,5 million for “Rambo III”.
The fees of actresses are a bit less. The record belongs to Meryl Streep bom in 1949. The films “Out of Africa” and “Heartburn” brought her $4 million each. The second is Barbara Streisand with the fee running $5 million paid for her participation in “Nuts”.
Who knows may be Russian cinema can also get into Guinness Book of World Records. For instance the number of pirated videos circulating in Russia is about 10 thousand films. There can be one more record: the films “Cormrfissar” and “Asya Klyachkina” were given International awards after they had been shelved for 20 years.
