i think im correct in saying that ibm were initially approached by kubrick and co to put their name on the computer (the movie has quite a few instances of product placement, such as the pan am rocket, and the at&t phone). obviously, the company didnt want their name put on a computer who went beserk and killed the crew, so they denied. in response the writers just went down the alphabet for each letter to change the name. i dont think ibm were pleased with it either.
fun movie facts!
dr strangelove was originally supposed to be a serious drama, but they realised the entire nuclear situation was so stupid that they changed it to a comedy
1 out of every 150 people in the entire population of new zealand was involved in the making of the lord of the rings trilogy
at the end of apocalypse now, they really did kill the cow
