Movie Stuff You Only Now Just Realized - Part 7

[Drizzle]

Anthony Michael Hall and who's the other one?

The older cop who Two-Face shoots in the bar is also Emilio Estevez's dad in The Breakfast Club.

I knew that the Snyder-verse already had three Watchmen alumni in it (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Billy Crudup, and Patrick Wilson). Now thanks to the HBO show, there's two more (Jeremy Irons and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II).

 

[Dave McFly]

Ralph Brown has played 2 characters named Del the legendary roadie in wayne's world 2 and a government agent in gemini man

 

[DawnWarrior]

The movie 'Outbreak' has Patrick Dempsey. He's the guy who gets sick, almost splits a cookie with a kid on his plane, then gets off the plane and infects his girlfriend.

 

[Jordacar]

In all of the Star Trek feature films, there is no single director who has helmed more than 2 of them.

 

[Guts]

Also the actor that played the first officer of the Enterprise during The Original Series and The Next Generation had directed two movies. Leonard Nimoy for TOS and Jonathan Frakes for TNG.

 

[Dave McFly]

Arnold Schwarzenegger has been in 4 movies where he played a character named John
John Matrix (Commando)
John Kimble (Kindergarten Cop)
John Kruger (Eraser)
John "Breacher" Wharton (Sabotage)

 

[Guts]

The suits of armor used for Arthur and his knights in Excalibur was made with real aluminum and that's what basically gave it that shine.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I liked Excalibur.

[Guts]

Leonard Nimoy isn't the only actor to play a role in both the Original Series movies and the new movies. James Doohan's son Chris played a played a random Enterprise crew member in the background in The Motion Picture and he plays a transporter technician in Star Trek(09) and Into Darkness.

I liked Excalibur.

Me too, love that weird old movie - the big screen debut of Liam Neeson, who moved in with co-star Helen Mirren after that.

Excalibur probably has a bunch of " bet you didn't know he was in it...." like Neeson, Patrick Stewart, Gabriel Byrne and Ciaran Hinds.

The director of Excalibur also directed Deliverance.

 

[Schlosser85]

Like how The Bounty with Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson retroactively has a batch of people in it like Daniel Day-Lewis, Bernard Hill, and Liam Neeson.

In Harry Potter, wizards don't have to speak the spell to cast it.

 

[Schlosser85]

In Harry Potter, wizards don't have to speak the spell to cast it.

Is that a thing all wizards can do, or do you have to be more powerful/experienced to be able to cast it without speaking? Because IIRC it seems to be mostly Dumbledore and Voldemort who do it more without speaking, though I could be wrong.

I re watched all movies and even Harry & Co can cast without speaking.
It's mainly during battles, imagine if the wizards had to speak the spells in combat.
Also, what about mute wizards ? I'm sure JK Rowling has the answer.

It is not something I only now realized but it is something I did not realize until several years later. I only remembered it now because I watched one of those "10 things you didn't know..." videos and it reminded me of how wrong I remembered the movie's ending.

In Seven, "what's in the box?" I went way darker than what actually was there. I thought it was the unborn baby of Mills and Tracy. At the time I had watched the movie I was sick with the flu and barely remembered seeing it so it was not until maybe 4-5 years later I realized it was actually Tracy's head in the box.

In the books they have to say the spells, up until Book 6 where they start training to cast without speaking. So it's a matter of skill. The movies are a lot looser with the rules.

'Robocop' and 'The Crow' have similar set-ups, where the protagonist dies in the first act, then resurrects as an invincible super-hero (one with science, one with magic) so they can chase down the guys who killed them.
The gang of thugs that killed each hero are also similar, a group of four men (including exactly one black guy, who is killed first), all of whom are irredeemable monsters.

Spoiler

After taking all of them out, the hero, now heavily weakened and vulnerable, goes after the big boss who runs all crime in the city and kills him too.

 

[DyeLorean]

In every Indiana Jones film, Indy is paired with a different sidekick:

His old love (Marion)
His friend (Short Round)
His father (Henry)
His son (Mutt)

Nothing groundbreaking, but I rewatched them recently all in one weekend and I realized it.

Besides noticing how unnecessarily over-detailed the Wikipedia page is for Batman & Robin, I just discovered a three year old article that states that Coolio's character in the movie was allegedly supposed to be Jonathan Crane? How did I not see this until now?

Coolio Was Courted to Play Scarecrow in Scrapped 'Batman & Robin' Sequel

Now I've read some crazy stuff but something about this seems off. First of all, I don't know how reliable it is since Coolio seems to be the only one who's commented on it. Second, that sounds way too similar to the Billy Dee Williams Two-Face situation. Third, even when a sequel to Batman & Robin was in development, didn't WB want Jeff Goldblum for the role of Scarecrow? And besides that, where do you get "Illegal Street Bike Racing Promoter" from Jonathan Crane? So many questions...

Although Harrison Ford and James Earl Jones were in the original Star Wars movies, they didn’t physically share screen time together until the Jack Ryan movies.

In Back to The Future II, the courthouse mall logo is a lightning bolt striking a clock.

Well, technically, JEJ did not share screen time with anyone in the movies.

Tyler Hoechlin, who plays Superman on the CW shows, was Tom Hanks’ son in Road To Perdition
