1941 trivia

The gas station where Captain Wild Bill Kelso ('John Belushi' (qv)) lands to refuel was the same one used in 'Steven Spielberg’'s movie _Duel (1971) (TV)_ (qv). 'Lucille Benson' (qv), who plays the gas station owner, appeared in _Duel (1971) (TV)_ (qv) as the Snakerama owner at the same station.
Often regarded as 'Steven Spielberg (I)''s first flop, the film was in fact a moderate box-office success. However, when compared to his early hits _Jaws (1975)_ (qv) and _Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)_ (qv), it performed under estimates.
Cinematographer 'William A. Fraker' (qv) was reportedly fired late in shooting due to creative differences with 'Steven Spielberg' (qv) and 'John Milius' (qv). The remainder of the film was shot by 'Frank Stanley (I)' (qv).
CAMEO('James Caan (I)' (qv)): seen in the USO fight scene.
All told, seven directors were involved in some manner in making this movie: 'Robert Zemeckis' (qv) and 'Bob Gale' (qv) wrote the film, 'John Milius' (qv) helped with production of the film, and 'Steven Spielberg (I)' directed it. The other director involved was 'Brian De Palma' (qv). According to Millius in the DVD 'making of' documentary, DePalma contributed the gag of the Japanese asking 'Slim Pickens (I)' (qv) "Where's Hollywood?" to which Pickens, whose character name is Hollis "Holly" Wood would answer "I'm here." as a play on Abbott and Costello's "Who's on first?" routine. In addition, 'Samuel Fuller' (qv) and 'John Landis (I)' (qv) have cameo roles.
