Tor Johnson threatened to throw Bela Lugosi out a window in 1956 while on tour for the BLACK SLEEP (1956) .Bela was standing on the window sill yelling "I can fly!" because he was hammered drunk and Tor almost made him do just that. He grabbed Bela and told him was  gonna throw him out the window. Bela mellowed out.

MERLE OBERON was of mixed race, not born in Tasmania as she claimed, but was born of a very young girl in India (and raised by her grandmother).

There was,  contrary to popular opinion, an actual sequel to forbidden planet.  It was called "the invisible boy".

There is a reason this movie is little known...

It was NOT a sequel. It just featured the same robot.
Robby was also on an episode of the TWILIGHT ZONE, LOST IN SPACE-and more s**t!

I've seen this film but don't remember it well.  I think a connection may have been implied...

In movies shown on TV it was usually required to censor the term "god damn" as it is common for religious people to get all butthurt over "taking the lord's name in vain".  It's known that planet of the apes got around this by claiming Taylor was not taking god's name in vain but actually wanting god to damn the people who had destroyed his world to hell.

A little know fact about blazing saddles was that slim pickens shouted "god DAMN!" as he furiously  fanned the air around the campfire with his hat but the movie got away with it because most people are too busy laughing to notice the "offensive" term.

Harrison Ford improvised shooting the expert swordsman in Raiders of the Lost Ark (instead of the planned fight sequence) because he was feeling ill that day with digestive issues.

Dark city was filmed a year before the matrix no matter how many people think dark city was a ripoff ofthe matrix. A rooftop set from DC was used in TM.

That may be so. But it's not a sequel. Unless the Robot went back in time to the 1950's, the era the INVISIBLE BOY is set.

"

 that's exactly what happened! The main character's grandfather went into the future in a time machine he made (off camera) and was there when the C-57-D landed, he took a picture of it landing and took robby back to his own time in the late 50's.

In all fairness to you RC, few people know this movie now, (Suckfest with an unbearable kenny) fewer know it was actually linked to forbidden planet and of those even fewer wish to acknowledge the fact.
