Random Movie Trivia - Animal House

Here is the next edition in our weekly Random Movie Trivia post.  Enjoy:

Animal House

• The movie was set to be filmed at the University of Missouri until the school president read the script and refused permission.  It was eventually filmed at the University of Oregon only because Oregon's school president didn't know how to read screenplays and didn't bother trying before agreeing for the go-ahead.
• This has nothing to do with the movie, but I stumbled upon it the other day.  James Widdoes (the actor who played Hoover) has gone on to be director, specifically, he has directed over 100 episodes of Two and a Half Men.
• Virtually unheard of before the film came out, "Toga Parties" became a huge hit after the release.
• Donald Sutherland was offered a percentage of the gross box office to be in this movie or a flat fee of 75 grand.  He was convinced the movie would bomb and took the flat fee.  Needless to say, he missed out on a couple extra million.
• The interior of the Delta house was a real Sigma Nu fraternity house and the exterior shots were of a dilapidated house that was torn down in the 80's.  Oddly enough, all exterior shots of the sorority house were from the same Sigma Nu house used for Delta's interior.
• The original choices for the parts of Boon and Otter were Bill Murray and Chevy Chase, but they were unable to do it because of prior commitments (plus they hate each other).
• Also, the role of D-Day was written for Dan Aykroyd but Lorne Michaels threatened to fire him if he took the role.
• In case John Belushi couldn't play the part of Bluto, Meat Loaf was set to step in.
• The fictional Faber College's mascot was the Mongols, there apparently is a brand of pencil called Faber Mongols.
• The name of the Delta fraternity changes names during the movie.  At the beginning, it was called Delta Chi Tau and is later called Delta Tau Chi.
• In the Student Court Scene, a list of Delta members is written on the board.  Included on that list was the name "Dick Hertz", also they list the members' year of graduation and beside Bluto's name it said "'60, '61, '62, and '63".
• In the original script, Flounder was asked to name one of Pinto's secrets and he says "He's got spots on his weenie!".  And that is how Pinto got his nickname, "cause you got a spotted dong!"
• To be continued.....
