Michael Hadge co-produced the documentary and adds a bit of humor to discussions during the planning of and rehearsals for Richard III. In 1967, Michael Hadge played Buzz Hackett and, in a scene with Dennis Patrick, delivered the humorous line: "If you feel it, sit it." :D

Buzz is so kewl! I really wanted him to drive his motorcycle up the foyer stairs. Would have been righteous.
I did find out that this movie has not been released yet on DVD. Bummer. It was released on VHS.

Looking for Richard has become standard viewing in a lot of graduate, undergraduate, and high school English courses since its release in 1996. Most likely, it'll hit DVD eventually.
Pacino comes across as a tad self-absorbed in the film, which provided a group of us in a grad course on Shakespeare with a fabulous opportunity to parody the film as part of a performance project. I hope the tapes have all been destroyed. ;D
Some worthless trivia: The performance of Richard III in this film is staged at the Cloisters, the medieval branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, located in Fort Tryon Park in northern Manhattan.

No trivia is ever worthless. There's always someone who'll find it interesting. :D
