General questions
I remember seeing a killer scarecrow movie about 20 years ago, but I can't seen to track down which one it was. It definitely wasn't the Asylum "Scarecrow" from 2002. All I remember is that there were human remains (or something else) in a box or casket that needed to be destroyed in order to kill the scarecrow. And I think they were destroyed by having a machine drop a large weight on them, which made the scarecrow explode. I also remember a scene where a character tries to burn the scarecrow and delivers the line "How about a little fire, scarecrow?!" from "Wizard of Oz." I remember the movie being quite bad... but in a fun B-movie kinda way. Anyone know what killer scarecrow movie it was?
Answer: Jeepers Creepers?

Candyman (1992)
Trivia: The director had to go and meet with representatives from the NAACP, as the studio feared the project would be misconstrued as being racist due to it featuring a black antagonist and dealing with racial undertones. The representatives found the entire process ridiculous, and fully supported the film.

The Fifth Element (1997)
Trivia: Director Luc Besson wanted Bruce Willis for the part of Korben Dallas, but decided to go with a lesser-known actor in order to save money. Upon being informed, Willis told Besson that they could "work something out" if he liked the script. Willis read the script, loved it, and agreed to do the film for a reduced upfront paycheck.

Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh (1995)
Trivia: Bernard Rose, the director of the first film, wrote a script for this sequel that didn't focus on the Candyman character, but rather focused on the impact urban legends have on people. The studio felt the script was too cerebral and instead told Rose that people "just wanted to see Candyman eviscerate victims." A more traditional slasher-film script was then written and used.

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Trivia: "The Silence of the Lambs" has gained some infamy in recent years as an example of the "Mandela Effect" - a phenomenon where large groups of people share the same false memory. Specifically, many people remember Hannibal Lecter delivering the specific line "Hello, Clarice" when she comes to visit him. But he actually never once says this line in the film.

Black Rain (1989)
Trivia: Charlie singing karaoke with Matsumoto was a last-minute addition to the film conceived by Andy Garcia. Garcia felt that the scene would not only be fun, but help the audience connect more with his character Charlie, which would then make his death in the following scene even more shocking.
