Movie Stuff You Only Now Just Realized - Part 6

[Spider-Fan]

Until this thread and Google, I had no idea who this guy was.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Thor Ragnarok may be the most tonally disparate films in the MCU franchise. And yet...

In TWS, Cap discovers that SHIELD is rotten to the core, and in the end destroys the whole works. In Ragnorok, Thor discovers that Asgard is built on a pile of bones, and in the end destroys the whole works.

Jeffery Dean Morgan wore a muscle suit for Watchmen.

This year in movies and TV, we will see 4 different Marvel characters who have robot arms.

That is because Marvel's phase two was doing a homage to Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back. Feige and the guys on the TV side had a bunch of characters get their hands cut for as a homage to Luke Skywalker getting his hand cut of by Vader.

I did some digging online and apparently John Kani has a glass eye because he got badly beat up by apartheid police in South Africa way back when. They left him for dead and his death was erroneously reported on the news.

I didn't know how he lost his eye but I figured it was probably something to do with getting beaten up during apartheid. Plenty of guys of his generation got beaten and have the scars from that era of history.

how big 80's hair in movies can get

Whenever I see film, tv or pictures of women from the second half of 20th century I tend to notice how big their hair is.

Cyborg's father is Dyson from T2

Daniel Kaluuya was in Kick-Ass 2. Talk about going on to bigger and better things.

I rewatched Scream last night after oh so many years, and I noticed when the guy is watching Halloween on the couch alone and he's saying "behind you Jamie!" (for Jamie Lee Curtis), he's also talking about himself (Jamie Kennedy).

 

[Doctor Jones]

The exact music from the opening of Hellraiser 2 is in Spider-Man 2 during Doc Ock's origin.

 

[samsnee]

Joel Edgerton was in Star Wars.

 

[DyeLorean]

Carrie Fisher is in Scream 3.

The Thing prequel was originally supposed to have all practical VSFX with only a few minor CGI enhancements. The studio, in their infinite stupidity, decided that they wanted the FX to be all CGI. That is why the movie ended up being so crappy.

 

[Teelie]

It's one of the bigger mistakes for the prequel. They had everything practical effect they could and ready before the studio CG'd it. Was a disappointment.

Dennis Nedry has a video of JAWS playing on one of his monitors in Jurassic Park

The exact music from the opening of Hellraiser 2 is in Spider-Man 2 during Doc Ock's origin.

This was actually a source of some major conflict. The scenes were temp tracked with Christopher Young's hellraiser music and Elfman was repeatedly pressured to try to closely match it. This continued on Spider-man 3 and Elfman finally told them to just try hiring Young himself.

What is crazy is that stuff like happened to that same FX company repeatedly. They had also done some pretty incredible FX tests for I Am Legend and Even the first Spider-man. The studio repeatedly went with either CGI or just a static mask in the case of the Green Goblin.

Neither of those went as far as they did actually filming everything for the Thing and replacing it though.


The I Am Legend Test (Someday we will get a proper adaptation of that book!)

Yeah, here’s some samples of the original practical VFX that were going to be used in The Thing 2011.

Well is not something I just realized, but it came back to me after rewatching it.

Captain America: The First Avenger makes full use of the setting and the era and tries to put Cap into as many different locations and situations as possible (since we will probably never revisit that era again): Cap in the forest, Cap in the snow, on top of a car, in the water punching a submarine, in the air, on a bomb, on a big aircraft, on a train, on a plane, in a bar, in WWII nazis bunkers, driving a motorcycle, on a Stark Expo, in New York, in Germany, musical numbers, movies... I mean, as much as I would've loved to see more stories set during WWII, they really put an effort to make it as diverse as possible.

Just figured out a key detail of the ad campaign for Infinity War. Posters for a lot of random-looking groups of 4-6 characters, flooded with specific color. Just realized each color represents one of the Infinity Stones.

Anthony Hopkins played Pablo Picasso in the 1996 film Surviving Picasso
Now Antonio Banderas is playing Picasso in the new NatGeo miniseries "Genius."

You either die a Zorro, or you live long enough to see yourself become Picasso.

Octavia Spencer was in the first Spider-Man.

 

[Dave McFly]

Katie McGrath from Supergirl was in a small role in Jurassic World she was the boy's chaperone at the park.

Valkyrie and Odin (and others I'm sure) are both on Westworld, and they have quite a few scenes together.

So is Chris Hemsworth's brother Luke, who had a cameo as the actor playing Thor in Ragnarok.

Lennie James is Enjolras in the 1998 Les Miserables with Liam Neeson.

One went from Picasso to Zorro, and the other one for Zorro to Picasso.
