  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “In 2006, Tom Hanks was inducted into the U.S. Army's Ranger Hall of Fame as an honorary member, largely due to his portrayal of Captain John Miller.” 
    
  “Steven Spielberg stated that even if the film had been given an NC-17 rating, he would have released it uncut.” 
    
  “Cinemas were instructed to increase the volume when showing the film, as the sound effects played a crucial role in the overall impact.” 
    
  “In the German-dubbed version, a German veteran of the Normandy invasion had to be replaced because the film's emotional realism was too intense for him.” 
    
  “Saving Private Ryan was the last film edited using a non-digital editing system to win an Academy Award for editing.”
