Title: Putcher Useless Movie/TV Trivia Facts Here
Post by: Snaggletiger on October 22, 2020, 03:32:00 PM
Unless you don't.  I'm always googlizing the casts of movies, TV shows etc. because I usually come across exciting and interesting tidbits and facts. (Translation: Get a damn life, nobody cares.) Like something I posted here a while back.  The comedy, Airplane, was actually based on an airplane disaster movie from the 50's called Zero Hour. 

A bit of useless information I found today was when a friend and I were talking about the movie Tombstone, which I had just watched again last night.  We were talking about people in the cast and he wasn't aware that Billy Bob Thornton was the one playing the card dealer that Wyatt slapped around.  "You just gonna' stand there and bleed?" Anywayz, I put him in the googles and found that in that particular scene, Thornton ad libbed the entire thing.  All they told him was "Be a bully".  Earp would confront him and slap him around and he'd back down.  But that's all he knew and took it from there. Pretty cool.

Somewhat similar was the scene from Caddyshack where Chase hit the ball into Bill Murray's office, warehouse...whatever that place was.  We got the great line, "Pool, pond....pond would be good for you" from a scene that was totally ad libbed by two comedy icons....who didn't like each other BTW.  But then, most of Murray's scenes were ad libbed in CS. 

If you run across any useless movie crap, please to be posting.  Or not!

I always thought Airplane was based on the 70's Airport disaster movies.

I could literally post things here four times an hour for the next three months and not run out.  Here are a few: 

1) Nicolas Cage -- as Nicolas Coppola -- is in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.  He's one of the workers in the kitchen of the fast food joint where Brad gets fired.  Anthony Edwards (ER) and Eric Stoltz (Mask, Pulp Fiction) are Spicoli's stoner pals. 

2) When making the movie Halloween on a scraped together budget, John Carpenter didn't have enough money for prosthetics or an elaborate mask for Michael Myers. They bought a cheapo William Shatner mask at a local store, painted it white and went with that. 

3) Halloween 3 is the only Halloween movie not to feature Michael.  Friday the 13th, the original movie, is the only one in that series not to feature Jason Voorhees as the "big bad."  

4)  The needle in the heart scene in Pulp Fiction was filmed backwards in order to make sure Travolta hit the center. 

5) Nazi Schillinger from the TV series Oz is the yellow M&M in commercials. He's also the Farmer's Insurance guy, J.J. Jameson, and about 975 other characters.

Princess Bride

Andre the Giant, who played Fezzik in the movie, "let out a 16 second fart and brought production to a standstill." "It could be heard three counties away," Elwes said with a laugh. "Nobody said anything except Rob, who said 'Are you OK, Andre?' and André replied, 'I am now boss”!

Donald Trump makes a cameo in Home Alone 2. 

When it was aired in Canada last Christmas that scene was edited out “for time consideration”.

I would have coked her.  Still would.  

Daniel Craig was in one of the new Star Wars movies.  He played a stormtrooper.  Uncredited.

Useless Movie Trivia:

Jean Claude Van Damme actually played the Predator in the first few scenes of...well....Predator.  He went uncredited for it.  They changed to a much bigger guy when he had to face off with Arnold.

I read the real reason was that Jean would not quit using kick-boxing moves for the predator. That was not the direction they wanted the predator to go in. So they fired him.

I actually saw something on this the other day.  The original costume was a much different look when JVD was attempting the part.  After one day of shooting, the costume was so bulky that he could not perform his awful dance moves.  Therefore, he walked off set, a new costume was made and actor hired.  And that, gentlemen is how you ended up with what appeared on the silver screen

You've all heard of Joss Whedon, the atheist Trump-hating piece of shit who was good at building the Marvel empire but can (and probably will) die in a fire otherwise, right?  

His grandfather wrote for The Andy Griffith Show and is responsible for creating Helen Crump.

Helen would fit in well with Behar and Whoopie on The View.

I liked Ellie in the first season of Andy Griffith. Played a key role in episode 11 of season one The Christmas Story where old Ben demands Andy lock up a family on Xmas Eve.
She didn't receive credit for the episode and soon left the show. 

Oh Andy...say it isn't so.

A couple of Die Hard trivias.  Bruce Willis was the 6th actor offered the part.  Arnold Schwaztikanugger, Bert Reynolds and Harrison Ford to name a few.

Also, the "Hans....Bubby" line was totally ad libbed, which made Hans' facial expression genuine.

Agree there seemed to be a genuine warmth in this episode that has never been reached by other shows.

So was the drop at the end.   Supposed to let him go at three, instead cut the rope at one and he fell 40 feet into an airbag.
