I was browsing the trivia section of the imdb for the Predator movie and found these funny pieces of information

Jesse Ventura was delighted to find out from the wardrobe department that his arms were 1" bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger's. He suggested to Schwarzenegger that they measure arms, with the winner getting a bottle of champagne. Ventura lost because Schwarzenegger had told the wardrobe department to tell Ventura that his arms were bigger.

Two of the actors portraying commandos besieged by the Predator have been elected to state governorships: Jesse Ventura (Independent) was elected Governor of Minnesota in 1998, and Arnold Schwarzenegger (Republican) was elected Governor of California in a hotly-contested recall election in 2003. In addition, Sonny Landham (Republican) ran an unsuccessful campaign for Governor of Kentucky in 2003.

Good 'ol Arnold.

Pity his plan to fix the economy here included cutting education spending. That's what started to kill him slowly. And rightfully so dammit. DON'T CUT SPENDING WHILE I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF SCHOOL!

Um ok? not really a well hidden fact
If I remember right it was not only on the dvd extras but also broadcast on FX when they showed the movie

And I believe was also somewhere on the AVP disk

Funny you should bring that up just now 'cause Predator is on TV as I'm typing this (although almost finished, the movie as well as the Predator :D).

i know, on pro7, watching it too

IMDB is full of fun things. They had Martin Lawrence's height at 6'2" for a while, now they just took his height off his page :)

Waaait a sec - isn't he the funny short black guy?

Anyway, one of the many reasons I put IMDB into the tablist bookmarks - can't find info on movies any faster than that ;)

@ Kossackja: Bist auch herzlich eingeladen, mal bei "Gut, jetzt sind wir auch mal dran..." vorbeizuschauen, falls Dir danach ist.

Yep, he is. IMDB relies on user submissions for most (all?) of their material, with some editors to weed out the really bad stuff. When enough people provided "evidence" for Martin Larwence being that tall, they changed it. In reality he's more like 5'6" or 5'7".
