    1. One of the goons ended up being the Inspector in Poirot and the other was Dr Evazan “I have the death sentence in twelve systems” in Star Wars!

    2. Michael Patterson and his wife Candace Reckinger, were people behind the creation of “Take On Me.” Michael was doing all the drawings while Candace co-directed the animation and designed the opening sequence.
      It took 16 weeks to create this iconic music video. Just amazingly well planned ahead ideas and lots of hard labor like drawing, cutting, combining, filming etc. No computers were used…

    3. The video had a sequel of sorts in the “The sun always shines on TV” video. Not a happy one.
