One of the stores near where I live used to have a set-up like that. It closed in the 1970's also.

The female version of Snape, Miss Hardbroom, is sitting at the teacher's table in one of the movies.

Honorable mention should go to the Doctor versus Morgan of the Fey from the Dr. Who serial "BATTLEGROUND". There is also the duel from CONAN THE DESTROYER.

Always bring a gun to a wizard's duel.

In the early days of TV they used to make 32 episodes.

Alternate future version actually. Suppodedly, if the series had not been cancelled in 1989, this story was gonna be told.

Actually, more along the lines of Coyote.

I'd heard that the whale special effects for STAR TREK 4: THE VOYAGE HOME were good enough for Gene Rodenberry to get in trouble with a group that monitors humpback whales because they though he had footage shot after they told him he couldn't film the whales in the wild.

I'd heard a legend that because they had to knock the tiger out to dye it, Andre Norton had her name removed from the credits of the first movie.

In other words, canned food and shotguns.

Nessie is from the Realm of Fairie.

A number of years ago, a town near where I live was having a crow problem, so the town government decided to try to scare them, with fire crackers. One of nights I was delivering pizzas, they were using the noise makers, and the sounds the crows made in response sounded like corvid laughter.

Of course, now the bugger likes the sound the panic button makes, and it will be sitting on your car the next time you go there so you will set off the sound.

It was also a roleplaying game.

Actor who played Captain Kool is named Micheal Lembeck, and he is a director. Two movies that he has directed are THE SANTA CLAUSE 2&3.

She was also on a recent episode of DR. WHO.

From what I have read, they are folding Wildstorm into the mainsteam DCU.
