Movie Stuff You Only Now Just Realized - Part 3

[James]

Dean Norris (Hank from Breaking Bad) is in Lethal Weapon 2.

 

[DrDoom]

He's played cop/SWAT/any other law enforcement in alot of things.


I was watching Gattaca the other day and was shocked to see a much younger/thinner Norris

 

[James]

Yeah, I've seen him in a few things but nothing as early as Lethal Weapon 2. Caught him Get The Gringo the other day too, again playing a cop of some sort.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Yeah, he was the guy who involved the car chase at the very beginning, right?

 

[DyeLorean]

Dean Norris from Breaking Bad was also in Arnold's Total Recall

 

[Whiskey Tango]

No way!

 

[James]

Yeah, he was the guy who involved the car chase at the very beginning, right?

Yeah, he argued with his Mexican counterpart. It was funny because, other than being corrupt, the role was very similar to that of Hank, what with the cross-border policing and all.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I was actually talking about Lethal Weapon 2.

 

[James]

I was actually talking about Lethal Weapon 2.

Ha! Wild...in both cases the answer is yes

He's in Lethal Weapon 2 a bit more as well, has some lines and then eventually gets blown up with a bunch of others during a poker game.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

S**t got real during that whole sequence of scenes.

 

[James]

I'm going completely off-topic now, but I love how the guy at the end delivers his lines like The Emperor from Star Wars. "Diplomatic immunityyyyy!"

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

There aren't any bathroom scenes in Django Unchained, are there? I don't recall any.

 

[samsnee]

You could say that of most
movies. Why do we need to see bathroom breaks anyway?

The underage teen in Animal House is the irish girl from Caddyshack...

Animal House (1978) and Caddyshack (1980) are two of the most influential, enduring, and funny comedies of all-time. These movies showcased many rising stars who continue to be featured in movies and maintain high profiles. Only one actor appeared in both of these movies, the young Sarah Holcomb.

In Animal House, Holcomb played the character of Clorette DePasto, the 13 year old daughter of mayor Carmine DePasto. Clorette first appears at the toga party and soon hooks up with Pinto (played by Tom Hulce), who is unaware of her youth. She has several memorable moments in this movie-passing out right before her and Pinto were to engage in their activities, producing the memorable devil and angel on the shoulder scene for Pinto; being delivered to her home by Pinto in a shopping cart, greeting her parents at the front door drunk and in a toga; and in her final scene where she introduces Pinto to her parents at the parade, announcing that he was the boy she wanted to get married to.

In Caddyshack, Holcomb played Maggie, the foreign girlfriend of Danny Noonan. Easily the most annoying character in this movie (and ranking high up on the scale of annoying characters of all time), Maggie´s clipped accent never fails to annoy when I watch this favorite movie of mine. When not talking, she´s equally annoying when dancing in her nightgown at night on one of the greens, after she discovered she was not pregnant. Despite all this, she did give my college buddies and I a favorite quote, repeated often when inebriated-"Tanks for nuthin!"

Holmcomb only appeared in two other movies in her brief acting career, Walk Proud (1979) and Happy Birthday, Gemini (1980). She retired from acting reportedly due to drug and alcohol addiction, brought on in large part by the older actors from Animal House and Caddyshack. She is still alive and reportedly living in Connecticut under a different name. While long gone from the acting world, her work, notoriety, and trivial status live on in two of the comedic hallmarks of the late ´70s/early ´80s.

Any time someone goes to the bathroom in the other Tarantino movies, **** goes down, i.e. Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction.

 

[Drizzle]

I just realized that since 2000, we haven't gone more than 3 years without a new X-Men film.

 

[dark_b]

Javier Bardem is in Collateral. and Collateral is a 10/10 movie. perfect cinema.

 

[Still Wynning]

Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad) plays the brother of Michelle Monaghan's character in Mission:Impossible III.

Another Breaking Bad one I meant to put up a long time ago but I remembered to do it now.

In the '98 film Enemy of the State with Will Smith, Anna Gunn plays Jon Voight's wife and confronts him about some fishy financial dealings with their bank account. There was a similar shady financies uncovered scene in Breaking Bad in season 2 that mirrored the Enemy of the State one. I wonder if she had any deja vu when she was filming the Breaking Bad scene

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Stark and Trask are spelled with the same letters.

 

[Drizzle]

Stark and Trask are spelled with the same letters.

And Robert Downey Jr. and Peter Dinklage are both awesome.

 

[antsman41]

What if, Peter Dinklage is Robert Downey Jr.?

 

[Spider-Fan83]

I just realized that since 2000, we haven't gone more than 3 years without a new X-Men film.

don't they have to make a movie every 3 years to keep the rights?

 

[roach]

yup

 

[jacobed]

Thankfully they're starting to become great again.
