There are some great unusual SF facts in this thread, some I knew but some I didn't. Bump, to please continue!
I take issue with "SF" nomenclature though. It does not provide the context "Sci-Fi" does. Walk up to strangers and ask, "do you read SF?" You'll get more blank stares than you will for, "do you read Sci-Fi?" SF makes sense, to me, in communication only after the context is established.
Back on topic, did you know Heavy Metal movie's release on video tape was delayed for years because of legal conflict over the sound track? I don't know what band or label was responsible for the delay.
Also, how many long series were like Perry Rhodan, tossed back and forth by so many authors? The American issues were childhood favorites of mine. Too bad it contracted to German since I don't speak or read Deutsch.
