Movie Stuff You Only Now Just Realized - Part 7

[DawnWarrior]

Besides the obvious connection between this month's Captain Marvel and next month's Shazam, they have something else in common: Djimon Hounsou, playing Korath (again) and the Wizard Shazam respectively.

Matt Damon needs rescued a lot. Besides Private Ryan, he's also been a stranded astronaut twice, Interstellar and The Martian, and Jessica Chastain is in both movies.

Guardians of the Galaxie which I re watched recently : after all these years and how many times it was played, Peter's audio cassette should have been broken or inaudible by then, same goes for the walkman earpiece foam.

Walton Goggins has a supporting role as a cop in Switchback (1997).

How so? Gunn has gone on record as saying even if the batteries died, Quill has enough access to alien tech that he could create a new power source.

I'm talking about the tape and the earpiece foam not the walkman player energy source. These two parts should have been wear out by the time ( and Peter using them ).
Anyway, it was just a silly thought that crossed my mind when re watching it

For the Avengers' Big Three, each of their 3rd movies has a scene where they lose their signature weapon: Cap gives up his shield, Thor's hammer is destroyed, and Iron Man's armor gets trashed (though he, at least, has backups.) And by Infinity War, they all upgrade to new ones.

 

[Jordacar]

Iron Man 3 has a lot of instances of main characters getting lightly swatted into unconsciousness

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Chip Douglas of The Cable Guy does a Hannibal Lecter bit with fried chicken skin. Charles Napier appears in both The Cable Guy and The Silence of the Lambs as a police officer.

That JJ Abrams is in Six Degrees of Seperation

It took the MCU five years to make the six films of Phase One. It took them only six years to make the other sixteen.

Speaking of the MCU, until just the other day I was so certain that The Incredible Hulk came out before Iron Man, like maybe the year before or something. So I got kinda confused now with all the talk that Endgame is the "ending" of a era that started with Iron Man.
I was thinking that maybe TIH isn't recognized as a proper MCU movie since it was done by another studio or something but when I looked it up, turns out it came out the same year, like a month or so after Iron Man. Which in itself is pretty odd.

Yup, Downey has a cameo at the end, after his introduction as Tony.

Only one actor has appeared in both of the highest global grossing movies of all time: Zoe Saldana. And if you were to show a picture of her without makeup to the average person on the street, they’d probably have no idea who she is.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Two Sarah Connors are vying to be the absolute rulers of Westeros.

 

[DawnWarrior]

Game Night, Date Night, Rough Night, and Bad Night all have similar premises about regular people accidentally getting caught up in crime due to mistaken identity.

Maybe from Star Trek, probably not as Gamora and definitely not as Neytiri who was motion capture.

Between Unbreakable (and Glass by extension), plus Signs, plus Last Airbender, Shyamalan sure makes a lot of movies with characters who are weak against water.

The finale of Endgame

Spoiler

When Thanos carpet bombs the Avengers compound is the scene in every Power Rangers finale when the bad guys get into the Rangers' home base and blow it to hell. Same energy with a much bigger budget. Hits all my soft spots.

I was listening to a podcast discussing The American President (1995), and it hit me that both Michael Douglas and Annette Benning are in the MCU, both playing older mentor figures who in the comics were the original version of the title heroes.

Another podcast-related revelation, this time about Dick Tracy (1990). A couple of things came flooding back to me at the top of the discussion:

1) On the action figures by Playmates (the main reason why 7-year-old me was so hype for the film), several of the characters were clearly designed to have their colorful raincoats added as a separate piece, including Flattop, Big Boy Caprice, and Tracy himself. So it looks like the bean counters decided the coats would be too much of a pain to add on and just...left them without.

I was annoyed as a kid, it just never occurred to me how brazen it was to design them with that iconic piece of fashion in mind, only to drop it last minute because f*** you.

2) Does anybody know if there were talks to launch a new animated series on the heels of the film? I would assume it never happened because the movie wasn't successful enough, but I do remember when they revived the notorious "The Dick Tracy Show" from 1961, filled with its problematic ethnic stereotype characters like Joe Jitsu and Go-Go Gomez. Somebody up top thought that would work better than a new 'toon.

3) If they had made a new toon, it would probably have been a lot like Batman: TAS, given that the Beatty film was riding on the success of the Burton '89 film, even had Danny Elfman doing the score (damn he was busy in those days).

Agent Phil Coulson wrote What Lies Beneath and Choke.

 

[DawnWarrior]

Directed Choke too. Fun.
