Movie Stuff You Only Now Just Realized - Part 2

[redhawk23]

On the topic of Forrest Gump from the last page, pretty much the MO of Forrest Gump is showing major pop cultural and historical events through Gump's point of view and the AIDS epidemic definitely qualifies. I didn't know there was any question that it was AIDS.

Any ways it didn't ever really occur to me until about a week ago how much the orc general from Return of the King looks like Sloth from the Goonies, which funnily enough also starred Sean Astin.

Doctor Manhattan 's wife Jane Slater is Mina in Alpha TV show.

she's also in Trick 'R Treat as the woman who gets killed by the "vampire."

 

[moviedoors]

In Galaxy Quest, when Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver get to the chompers, she doesn't actually say "Well screw that!" Look at her lips. That's ADR. She said "Well **** that!"

I literally just noticed this about two minutes ago.

The Driver has a lucky rabbit's foot on his key chain.

In Back to the Future when Marty is playing guitar at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance he is playing a Gibson: ES-345 in 1955 which couldn't happen because Gibson didn't introduce the semi hollow body guitars untill 1958. Also Gibson didn't release the PAF style humber pickups that is seen in the ES-345 untill 1957. A more correct guitar would have been something along the lines of a Gibson: ES-350T which has a single cutaway body style insted of the double cutaway like a ES-345. And it would also have P90 pickups insted of humbuckers.

I'm not sure if I never realized this or if I had realized it and just never gave it a second thought. More than likely I notice if something is incorrect when it comes to guitars and playing the guitar in movies. But Johnny B Goode is still one of in not my favorite scene from Back to the Future.

I just finished watching Cloudy With a Chance Of Meatballs. I think it's hilarious and refreshingly mature for an animated movie, but I can't find anyone on the internet that's mentioned what I've just seen. There's this part when the main character, Flint Lockwood, races toward his lab and has to maneuver around gigantic, falling meatballs being shot out of a Spaghetti twister in the distance. As a meatball thuds behind Flint, you can see it crushing the people running past him. It happens for a quick moment, but there was blood and everything.

Ha, Bob from Batman was the inspiration for Kevin Smith calling his character "Silent Bob."

 

[Travesty]

Kevin Smith loves his Batman.

Morbid me wanted to see it. Is the blood that red splatter on the pavement? I only saw one person get hit with a meatball, but there was a red splatter.

The government agent who talks to Indy in Raiders of the Lost Ark "He's obsessed with the occult!", also played Eckhart in Batman.

Yeah, the red splatter looked like blood. I just went to the scene again and it looks like the meatball crushed more than one person off-camera.

The government agent who talks to Indy in Raiders of the Lost Ark "He's obsessed with the occult!", also played Eckhart in Batman.

His character was named Major Eaton, and he also played Porkins in Star Wars.

This happens at the beginning of The Avengers, after Loki arrives through the portal. Loki announces himself and Selvig replies, "Loki, brother of Thor!". The moment that Selvig says Thor's name you can hear the sound of thunder cracking.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

that's...awesome.

 

[DyeLorean]

Ghost was directed by Jerry Zucker one of the guys behind The Naked Gun, Top Secret! and Airplane! (Zucker, Abrahams, Zucker)

... couldn't it just be i dunno... spaghetti sauce?

 

[DarkSovereignty]

yeah that's what I was thinking...I mean, it's raining meatballs.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Gigantic and mutated meatballs that can crush people.

I found out earlier this week that at the beginning of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," the Coronado...the ship Indy battles his way off of...has a stockpile of barrels branded to contain a substance called "Carboneto," which was named after Carbonite from "The Empire Strikes Back."

 

[CFE]

His character was named Major Eaton, and he also played Porkins in Star Wars.

William Hootkins was a big-time character actor.

In addition to "Batman," "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark," he also had a bit role in "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace"...funny enough it was alongside a young Jim Broadbent, who went on to also star in an Indiana Jones film ("Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"). Broadbent also portrayed the role of Professor Slughorn in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" and "Death Hallows Part 2."

 

[DarkSovereignty]

It still baffles me that there's a character named Porkins in star wars. It's like 'o, what should we name this character, oh? the actor is heavy set? Is Fatty too on the nose? How about Porkins?'

 

[Whiskey Tango]

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Holy crap François Chau(Dr. Pierre Chang from Lost) was Shredder in TMNT: Secret of the Ooze!

Major Eaton isn't much better.
