It's kinda sad that Pee-Wee's Big Adventure has a better chase scene than B89

Pee Wee's Big Adventure allowed Tim Burton the time and freedom to do a long chase scene. Pee Wee is basically a road movie all about Pee Wee and his missing bike. In the Batman movies he had more to fit into two hours. Pressure from Warner Brothers to have a certain amount of action scenes, alot more going on and he wanted to fit more into the batman movies that didn't allow a long chase scene.

 

I think Burton did a good chase scene.

 

I love Burton's films as well, but most of his action to me was pretty stale. I think his films were better with dynamic, static shots.

 

When your set is heavily confined, you see how good a chase scene you could make...! Pee-wee's Big Adventure takes place in the real world, so they could shoot in a real location, not someplace that was fabricated.

 

WB studios weren't fabricated?

 

I mean it was a real area someplace, it wasn't shot on the real WB lot, but another studio that is always used in films to be studio lots, but still, it was a real location with plenty of space. It wasn't someplace like Gotham City, which was 100% fake.

 

And Christopher Reeve didn't actualy fly, you know.

 

I mean that the Gothams that were created were nowhere near as big as an actual location, you smartass. Thus, they were too restrictive to make a really dynamic chase.

 

Even so, they did.

 

Not really. To me it felt like a go-cart being let loose in a Costco.

 

I've never seen Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. Yeah, okay, I admit it.

And the B89 car chase rocked.

 

I'm not saying I didn't like the chases, and I'm not saying that they weren't good. I was just making obvious the point that with more space, the chases could have been better. It would be nice if you didn't jump to conclusions and assume things.

 

The problem is, the cars are going too damn slow.

Now, people have said, that's because Gotham is full of pedestrians.

LOL. Gotham is PART of the movie, the PESTRIANS are part of the movie. If it suits the movie better, get the pedestrians off the streets, as all the other Batman movies do, or have a chase scene where the are no pedestrians.

 

I disagree...

 

well i guess tim just has to go back and use CGI ala Lucas and make a longer chase sceen.

 

Lol great idea!

Anyone remember the Large Marge scene in Pee Wee's Big Adv? That was my favorite part

 

OMG WTF!?!?!?!?!?! You must be on some strong drugs. Everyone knows Chris did all the flying by himself.

 

Well there's a poor taste joke about one flying he actually did. But for respect to him i won't say it.

 

Good choice.

 

Twisted Sister had a cameo on Pee Wee's Big Adventure, that's what was missing from B89.

 

I went to the Superman board about a week ago and this guy said "Chris Reeve sucked". He was nearly flamed all the way to hell and back.
