Movie Stuff You Only Now Just Realized - Part 2

[BruceWanner]

Composer Elliot Goldenthal reused some of his music from "Demolition Man" in "Batman and Robin." A further coincidence one could draw is that both these films use cryogenics as huge plot points.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Oscar Nunez, who plays Oscar Martinez in the Office, had a brief appearance in the show 24.(Day 3)

Also, Kevin Dillion who plays Johnny Drama in Entourage, was also in the show 24. (Day 2)

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Why does the TV version of Goodfellas not have that black line going down De Niro's face?

 

[Dave McFly]

Tyler Labine is in the Antitrust movie (hey it was on netflix ).

 

[DawnWarrior]

Just saw 'The Artist.' James Cromwell writes left-handed.

 

[Doctor Jones]

That means Cromwell is better than most people.

And in Die Hard at the end when Reginald VelJohnson's characters kills the last terrorist a bit of James Horner music from Aliens is heard which was a "temp track" that the studio decided to leave there but the film itself was scored by Michael Kamen.

 

[ShaneHelms]

The opening music piece in There Will Be Blood was also used in The Hurt Locker when James pulls up the hidden remaining six bombs in his first mission.

 

[The Navigator]

Neo and company could have uploaded a helicopter directly into the matrix from their white room loading program and flown up to Morpheus without wasting a lobby full of innocent civilians.

 

[protocida]

There's a A Clockwork Orange gang in the motorcycle race scene of Batman & Robin.

I recently had the displeasure of watching the Happening when I realized something: In the scene where John Leguizamo splits off from Mark Wahlberg and the others, he gets in a car that is heading to New Jersey. Now it never really shows his face except for a few split seconds and in the mirror, but the driver of the car is Dante from Clerks, which of course takes place in New Jersey.

I also realized that The Happening is one of the worst studio films I've ever seen.

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

Also, Kevin Dillion who plays Johnny Drama in Entourage, was also in the show 24. (Day 2)

He also played John Densmore, the drummer of the The Doors. He pulled a bit of a Johhny Drama to get the role, he bs'd Stone and co that he could play the drums, and got the role, and then had to very quickly learn, playing alongside the real drummer from the Doors(they showed him getting a drum lesson from him on this mtv doc).

Neo and company could have uploaded a helicopter directly into the matrix from their white room loading program and flown up to Morpheus without wasting a lobby full of innocent civilians.

They 'teleport' through a phone line, and can obviously carry weapons with them, like wearing clothes, so they can enter the Matrix quite stealthily, if they had approached the building in a helicopter the mission would have been a mess, the agents would have seen the copter coming a mile off.

I know this isn't really film related, but I was just on the Wikipedia page for Danny Phantom and apparently several of the recurring characters on that show were voiced by well-known actors, some of whom I didn't even know were them (and yes, I've seen the show; it's actually a really fun cross between Spider-Man and Ghostbusters). Here's some examples: Ron Perlman, a pre-Twilight Taylor Lautner, Tara Strong, David Carradine, Brian Cox, Eric Roberts, John Cryer, Mark Hamill, and evil Will Arnet popped up from time to time! And I never knew it was them!

 

[Ultimatehero]

David Koechner was in Man on the Moon.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]
