Crash (2004 film)/Trivia

The 1996 film:

 * Banned in China: the film was banned by the local council in the City of Westminster (which includes most of the central London cinemas) after the Daily Mail launched one of the most unhinged censorious campaigns against a single film in the UK's living memory.
 * The Danza: James Spader as James Ballard. This one is most certainly coincidence, as this character's name is taken from the writer (James Graham Ballard) rather than the actor.
 * He Also Did: This from the man whose autobiography was Empire of the Sun?
 * Hey, It's That Guy!:
 * The tattoo artist was a judge on This Is Wonderland.
 * Vaughan was Casey in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, announced acts at the Exotica, and shot Dr. House

The 2005 film:

 * Recycled: the Series: The TV show Crash, starring the late Dennis Hopper as a misanthropic Hollywood producer whose life intersects with characters from all walks of life in LA (see Series page).
