Part of Ilia's theme from Star Trek The Motion Picture was used in the opening theme to Star Trek Voyager

When Stevie Nicks put out her song "Sorcerer" in 2001, I assumed it was a brand new track, never heard before.



So imagine my surprise when I heard Ellen Aim & The Attackers (really Laurie S. and Fire Inc.) belting it out in 1984's STREETS OF FIRE.

even tho I have seen Christine dozens of times on VHS, DVD, Blu Ray, and 4K after seeing it on the big screen for the first time the CQB 241 plate that is on the car when she is all restored is the same plate that was on the car when she was new it was on the car worn out and dinged up but it is seen in some shots when it was at LeBay's property.

In the opening of Superman 3 when Clark used a photo booth to change into Superman and comes out and sees the series of pics of him going from Clark to Superman and tears off the last pic and hands it to a little boy, that little boy is played by the actor who played Superman as a baby when he first landed on earth and lifted the truck up when it fell off of the jack woah.

I'm rewatching Bond films and the amount of similarities between Tomorrow Never Dies and the McQuarrie M:I films is quite noticeable. Even something that we *might* see in DR Part Two.

I just realized that The Sandlot and Rookie of the Year turned 30 years old this year. I also just realized that Shanghai Noon turned 23 and that Shanghai Knights turned 20 this year.

^ an I just realized how damn old I am

May be known, yet just noticed...

Marvel Star Wars #1 is in Corvette Summer (not surprising it was 1978)

It's dark hard to tell, but after scrutinizing

the cover and pages opened too are...

 

[Dave McFly]

the 2000 movie Shaft has 2 actors who played Jim Gordon from Batman in it, Pat Hingle (the judge and 89 Gordon) and Jeffrey Wright (Peoples Hernandez and the current Gordon).

 

[Dave McFly]

Roger L Jackson the voice of the killer in the Scream films is also the voice of Mojo Jojo on Powerpuff Girls show and movie.

Great Scott! There's a Flux Capacitor in the engine of The Polar Express!

 

[Breogan]

That's peculiar^

Likely better known yet I always imagined the "Oscillation-Overthruster" used in Buckaroo Banzai, had to have somewhat inspired Spielberg's Flux-Capacitor.

I just found out that musician Elle King is Rob Schneider's daughter.

 

[DyeLorean]

Director J.A. Bayona was in my home country doing some interviews for Society of the Snow and in one of those he revealed that Steven Spielberg approached him to direct the *FIRST* Jurassic World movie and he had to decline because he was working on another project at the time. Eventually he agreed to direct the second one.

 

[Dave McFly]

one of the 2 Ferrari Daytona kit cars from the TV show Miami Vice was used in the movie Speed Zone. I thought it was just a coincidence that it looked like the Vice Ferrari but I just found out that one of the 2 which was used for stunt and shots where Don was not behind the wheel was used in the movie wow.

 

[Jordacar]

Somehow I never noticed that Wes Craven helmed that Swamp Thing movie two years before Nightmare on Elm Street.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

the 2000 movie Shaft has 2 actors who played Jim Gordon from Batman in it, Pat Hingle (the judge and 89 Gordon) and Jeffrey Wright (Peoples Hernandez and the current Gordon).

and wasn't Batman himself Christian Bale in that one, too?

 

[Dave McFly]

yeah but he was not one of two Batman actors in the same film

News to me: the "tears in the rain" monologue from Blade Runner has its own Wikipedia article. (!)

Tears in rain monologue - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Some interesting tidbits in there.

 

[Dave McFly]

the sound effect of the Batpod's motor sound came from the first gen Tesla Roadster

 

[DyeLorean]

I rewatched Ghostbusters a couple of days ago and one line of dialogue caught my attention, something I didn't get before (mostly because for most of my life I saw the dubbed version):
"The franchise rights alone will make us rich beyond our wildest dreams". The idea of Ghostbusters being a franchise was already established by Venkman. I'm surprised the business side of it hasn't been brought enough in the movies.

The lead singer of Toto - Joseph Stanley Williams is the son of John Williams and was the singing voice of Adult Simba in the (original) Lion King.

 

[LoganPool]

This is pretty embarrassing, but for years, I thought Will Poulter:

and Cameron Monaghan:

were the same person... IDK how, but it wasn't until Will was cast in GotG 3, and I was like "That's the kid from Shameless!" And my wife was like "Umm, no."

 

[Immortalfire]

2 Disney movies with a genie, (DuckTales, Aladdin) both make references that the idea of wishing for more wishes doesn’t work.
