Movie Stuff You Only Now Just Realized - Part 5

[DJ Kornphlake]

Ghostbusters 2 lists a bathtub trainer and bathtub wrangler in the end credits.

The Invisible Man holds what has to be the earliest (1933) bit of product placement I've ever seen. Bass beer is mentioned by name and then a Bass poster is shown right after.

 

[DawnWarrior]

Hm, interesting. According to my film school teacher, the first official product placement in a movie was in The African Queen in 1951, with the clearly labeled booze that Katharine Hepburn throws overboard.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

If you're interested and able to watch it, the placement is in the scene where Una O' Connor takes up the Invisible Man's dinner early on in the film.

Last night I was watching American Gangster and one guy shows up talking and I said "HEY, that's the voice of Rusty Nail from Joy Ride!".

 

[Whiskey Tango]

"HEY, that's the voice of Rusty Nail from Joy Ride!".

He was also Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs.

I'm sure that's not the first time product placement took place in a film, 1951 sounds about 60 years too early although they did say "officially" placed. I imagine the first product placement took place shortly after the first film was exhibited in the 1890's. Advertisement is that entrenched.

I think I saw a bottle of Coke in "Roundhay Garden Scene", but I'm not sure.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

In the Lego movie when Emmet and Wildstyle enter the old west saloon the piano melody being played is "Everything is Awesome"

 

[Dave McFly]

i caught that right away

 

[Victarion]

The original ending to Silent Hill:

Originally, six Red Pyramids were supposed to rise into the church and slaughter the cultists with various weapons, while one held Dark Alessa and let her dance in the blood of the dying fanatics.

Sounds better than the one in the movie.

 

[PyroChamber]

Michael K. Williams was in The Incredible Hulk.

Rob Zombie was in Guardians of the Galaxy (his voice actually).

 

[Rowsdower!]

I was watching Die Hard on TV the other day. I never noticed that the two FBI agents are credited as "Big Johnson" and "Little Johnson."

 

[Drizzle]

Here's something I just realized: They made a sequel to The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel but we may never get a Hellboy III. Where's the justice?

 

[DawnWarrior]

Well at least we got a Hellboy II.

But yeah. Marigold Hotel got a sequel. So weird.

 

[Black Narcissus]

The Winter Soldier is the ''bad'' guy in the first Hot Tub Time Machine.

 

[Broseph44]

In Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan (part 8), later in the movie Jason throws a bar chef in a NYC bar into a mirror on the wall. The man he threw was Ken Kerzinger, who went on to play Jason in Freddy vs Jason.

And for those wondering Kane Hodder was the only guy to play Jason multiple times.

Part 7 The New Blood
Part 8 Jason Takes Manhattan
Part 9 Jason Goes To Hell
And part 10 Jason X

 

[Broseph44]

I realize what I posted isn't really stuff that I justice noticed as the thread title says. But whatever haha. I've known this stuff but I guess it's cool to post facts like this for others to look for now.

 

[Jordacar]

Gary Mitchell from "Star Trek" (Gary Lockwood) was also in 2001: A Space Odyssey

 

[gohei_]

Alfred from Gotham (Sean Pertwee) was in Event Horizon.

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Penguin from Gotham was in Justin Long Comedy Accepted.

Rube from Dead Like Me was Inigo Montoya. I recognised his voice and thought he was maybe a voice actor then it clicked in my head

 

[DarthDaveBanner]

The waitress Cap saves in The Avengers is Gretchen from Recess!

 

[Dave McFly]

Naomi Watts was Jet Girl in Tank Girl

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

James Franco and Jessica Alba were in Never Been Kissed

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

I've read that Cesar Romero (The Joker) and Tyrone Power (Mark of Zorro) were gay lovers.

Batman's childhood hero slept with Batman's arch nemesis. That's messed up.
