It cost just $60,000 to make and another $400,000 or so to market, yet ultimately brought in more than $89 million.

Kentucky: No dueling
All public officials and attorneys in Kentucky must swear an oath that they “have not fought a duel with deadly weapons” nor acted as a second in another person’s duel. Good to know now; unfortunately, when the oath took effect in 1848, many would-be duelists turned to murderous street brawls instead.
