What was the first case of a celebrity playing a fictionalized version of her/himself? Heading Home (1920) stars Babe Ruth as a fictional version of himself. Wikipedia: "It attempts to create a mythology surrounding the life of baseball player Babe Ruth... Ruth stars in the film, playing himself, but the details of his life are completely fictionalized." IMDb: "The "true story" of baseball great Babe Ruth; Ruth plays himself." ... "If this is the "true story" of Babe Ruth, then I am a Llama!" Watch online |

What was the first case of a celebrity playing a fictionalized version of her/himself? Likewise, Frank "Home Run" Baker played the leading role in Home Run Baker's Double (1914). Here's an account of the 'photoplay', and it certainly sounds like a fictional story of a baseball player, his doppelganger and some crooks. |

What was the first case of a celebrity playing a fictionalized version of her/himself? Hal Chase's role in Hal Chase's Home Run (1911) was more than a cameo :) "... in which the leading role is played by the famous First Baseman and Manager of the New York American Leage Team..." |

How did Sherlock survive the fall? @NiceOrc: Barts hospital has no A&E (sources: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Bartholomew's_Hospital / bartsandthelondon.nhs.uk/for-patients-and-visitors/… ), but it's not only labs, and not implausible there was an ambulance crew nearby. |

What was the first movie to introduce “blue wire or red wire” bomb disposal? Another Time, Another Place (1958) has a bomb disposal scene. But it's a black and white film with no mention of the colours, and the sapper just cuts some insulation then four wires separately. |

The first human robot? L'Ève future (1886) may feature an android, but it's a book and not a film. Metropolis (1920) may be the first film android. |

What factors go into determining what trailers are played before movies? @saurabhj: I took the photo :) We only popped in to admire the old analogue projector on display in the lobby when the projectionist beckoned to follow him up a narrow spiral staircase and showed us the new digital projector! |

First Hollywood (or at least made in USA) movie where Russian dialog was spoken by Russian speaking actor? "... spoken with no noticeable accent" - no noticeable Russian accent, or American, or what? |
