"You Only Live Twice" had a scene where a Japanese assassin tried to kill James Bond in the same fashion. However, Bond moved and the killer ended up poisoning the girl next to Bond.

4. In what U.S. state were the high school scenes actually shot?

Answer: California

The high school shown in the movie was actually John Marshall High School in Los Angeles. There are two high schools in Grosse Pointe, Grosse Point North and South. Unfortunately the school board would not give the producers permission to shoot. The board felt it would be bad to show someone graduating from a Grosse Pointe's school to become a hit man.

Answer: Say Anything

In "Say Anything" Ione Skye's character breaks up with Cusack's character and gives him a pen to write her with. It was a dramatic moment from a very good movie. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it.

Answer: 736 Lake Pointe Boulevard

It's on the reunion invitation that Martin sticks on his hotel mirror. The invitation also says on the bottom right corner "Dress to Kill."

Answer: 3

Joan, Ann, and Bill are all in this movie. Joan Cusack plays Marcella, Martin's assistant. Bill Cusack plays a waiter. Ann Cusack plays Amy, the drunk woman that talks to Martin and Debbie at the Hippo Club. If you listen close Ann Cusack kind of sounds like Joan Cusack.

Nothing interesting about "Ace Of Spades," I just love the song. The clerk at Ultimart is listening to it on headphones while playing Doom II.
