Kickboxer (1989)
Question: Was there any reason why Tong Po is listed as being played by himself when he was played by Michel Qissi? This is in the film's credit, I know IMDB listed Qissi as the actor. And if this was just a mistake, was there an explanation given as to how it was made or got past editing?
Answer: This is a mistake that has never been explained.

A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)
Trivia: Although it sounds made up to fit the plot of the movie, the song "If You've Only Got a Moustache" was a real song from the 1860's. It was written by Stephen Foster (lyrics by George Cooper) who also wrote "Camptown Races" and "Oh! Susanna," although some of the lyrics were changed in the film. Foster (who is also brought up in a later scene) incidentally died at the age of 37 from a fall and fever, which also seems to fit the plot of the movie of so many random ways to die.
