Movie Stuff You Only Now Just Realized - Part 7

Just watched Army of the Dead and even though I’ve been aware of Ella Purnell since I guess Maleficent, I think this is actually the first time I watched anything where she was prominently featured.
 
In The Last Crusade the guy who gives Indy the fedora at the beginning flashback is supposed to be Abner Ravenwood, Marion's father.
 
According to the Indiana Jones wiki, that guy's name was Garth.

For the Fast and Furious Franchise fans:

There is technically a prequel movie that takes place in 2002 before Tokyo Drift and it features Han (Sung Kang). The Director (Justin Lin) of several Fast and Furious films that includes Tokyo Drift that Introduced Han to the Franchise also directed a Film called "Better Luck Tomorrow" with the same actor Sung Kang playing the same character Han.
The film also features heist scenarios, murder as well as street racing.

Justin Lin (The Director) is on record saying yes, this is the same Han in both.
There are also hints "easter eggs" about Hans Better Luck Tomorrow past in the Fast and Furious films.
 
I remember that. Also Han was a chain-smoker in BLT, but you can't smoke in a PG-13 movie so for his F&F appearances, he has quit smoking and replaced it with his signature bottomless bag of oyster crackers.
 
Mark Ruffalo, Jon Bernthal, and Gal Gadot are all in the Steve Carell / Tina Fey movie Date Night
 
The Late Annie Ross who was in Superman 3 as the main bad guy's sister was also dubbed lines of Ursa in Superman 2 apparently Sarah's real voice is heard in parts of the Donner cut and the pitch of the voices are different.
 
Star Wars ANH in French. Nothing knew to me of course but kind of funny.
Han Solo = Yan Solo
Chewbacca = Chiktaba (a literal phonetic translation, chik for chew and bacca for taba)
Millenium Falcon = Millenium Condor but was called Faucon in ESB.
Darth Vador : Dark Vader
Clone War : Guerre Noire
Jabba The Hutt: Jabba Le Forestier

Between ANH, ESB and ROTJ, Vador was dubbed by 2 maybe 3 different French actors.

In the first Captain America movie, becoming a super-soldier used to be a big to-do. Steve had to get like 8 injections and climb into the metal coffin that zapped him with science rays. Sure, there was the blue serum (which the Hydra dude tried to steal), just like there's one now that the cast of 'Falcon and Winter Soldier' got to fight over. But nobody seems to use the big metal pod anymore. All you need now is the serum. I guess science marched on to make the process easier?

I guess the science is different. It's not like the effects are exactly the same. The original supersoldier experiment turned scrawny, little Steve Rogers into a beefcake which apparently didn't happen to Erin Kellyman's tiny teen terrorist. Although now I want to believe that all that non-serum stuff in CA:TFA was there just to make Steve taller and bulkier to stop Tommy Lee Jones' character from complaining.
 
Well technically in Steve’s experiment it was the formula along with the Vita-ray chamber. As far as we know, no one’s ever been to reproduce the exact formula nor have they used it with vita-rays.

In FATWS, the scientist specifically said he found a way to recreate the formula without expanding the muscles. Just a hand-wave explanation to not have the actors bulk up.
 
Just remembered that Michelle Yeoh is MCU double-dipping, co-starring in the upcoming 'Shang-Chi' (playing his mom I think), and also cameo'd in 'Guardians Vol. 2' playing Aleta.
(I had thought fellow 'Crazy Rich Asians' alum Gemma Chan would be the first to do this, playing Minerva in 'Captain Marvel' and Sersi in 'Eternals,' but 'Eternals' comes out later.)
 
Her role in GotG2 was an after credit scene that it barely counts. If it does, then Stan Lee was the first person to have multiple roles in the MCU
 
^She shows up first in the funeral scene, before the closing credits.
 
The scene in Karate Kid 3 where Daniel breaks the guy’s nose in the nightclub:

I never noticed the coke nail growing when Lo Pan transforms in Big Trouble after he gets off the phone.
 
Dr. Grant at the start of Jurassic Park has a line where he says "I hate computers".

Ironic given the character will be menaced by CGI creations the rest of the movie.
