TRUE.  They just couldn't call it "Dracula" because Bran Stoker's widow would not release the rights to film the story.

^ Sorry Indy. It's false. DRAKULA HALALA (1921) was made in Hungary a year earlier.
It's a lost film.

Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)
Interviewer-"Does Dracula ever end for you?
Lugosi-"No. Dracula-never ends."

The name of the MCU character Groot means 'big' in Afrikaans.

I'll go with true, because its Trevor.

Yes, true.

I think that's false, if I recall it was a rumor started by Allied soldiers.

At the end of Moonraker, the metal-toothed villain Jaws meets a young woman who smiles at him, revealing braces.

I remember the scene too but apparently in the universe where we live now, she didn't have braces. Crazy, huh?
