[QUOTE=darcy010;31240326]Apparently in literally [b]every single[/b] shot of Fight Club, there is a Star Bucks coffee cup somewhere in the frame.[/QUOTE] Also, a superman cameo in every Seinfeld episode. But they kind of cheated with that one, because there's a superman action figure in Jerry's apartment.
[QUOTE=kevlar jens;31233491]oh man that would have been SO good[/QUOTE] everything else would have been, yes. but i think craig is a better actor than brosnan.
[QUOTE=Rusty100;31244299]everything else would have been, yes. but i think craig is a better actor than brosnan.[/QUOTE] I agree, but I still really like Brosnan. Hes the one I grew up with.
yeah but i saw The Ghost Writer fuck me hes horrible in that
Well, from the movies I've seen, Brosnan can only act if he is in a bond movie.
Mama Mia was awkward...
[QUOTE=Hakita;31244772]Well, from the movies I've seen, Brosnan can only act if he is in a bond movie.[/QUOTE] I liked him in Mrs. Doubtfire, The Thomas Crown Affair, Seraphim Falls, The Matador, The Butterfly. And of course.. Goldeneye.
[QUOTE=GodKing;31246459]I liked him in Mrs. Doubtfire, The Thomas Crown Affair, Seraphim Falls, The Matador, The Butterfly. And of course.. Goldeneye.[/QUOTE] I can't recall watching any of those, so I can't know. Except for Goldeneye, which is a bond film.
28 Days Later related: Robert Carlyle (Don from 28 Weeks Later) was offered the role of Major Henry West (Christopher Eccleston) (I didn't really see Robert Caryle as a family man IMO)
[QUOTE=Hunter-Spy;31251232]28 Days Later related: Robert Carlyle (Don from 28 Weeks Later) was offered the role of Major Henry West (Christopher Eccleston) (I didn't really see Robert Caryle as a family man IMO)[/QUOTE] ... you know, he has had other roles, right?
[QUOTE=Rusty100;31244299]everything else would have been, yes. but i think craig is a better actor than brosnan.[/QUOTE] he may be a better actor than brosnan but not a better bond. [img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3369/3326114077_0280342d6b.jpg[/img] as you can see he's clearly broke the trend with his blonde hair and lack of suaveness. (and ye it's closer to the bond described in ian fleming's book but i don't care.)
[QUOTE=Rusty100;31251415]... you know, he has had other roles, right?[/QUOTE] I know, but I have only seen the world is not enough
The movie Twister was originally going to have the tagline "It sucks." They retracted it because if the movie bombed, it would work too much to the advantage of movie critics. Another one, was the real town of Wakita, Oklahoma had part of its old downtown area demolished by the film crew for the scenes after the twister passes. The studio then paid for the downtown to be rebuilt. The town also kept the new fire truck used in the film.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;31254295]Dude, watch Goldeneye as soon as possible. In my opinion, it's the best Bond film ever made and it's also one of my favorite movies.[/QUOTE] I like Goldeneye, Infact I like almost every James Bond movie, I was just saying that Robert Caryle would've been good as Major West, Chris Eccleston was good though.
When filming the scene in [B]The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers[/B] when Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are searching a burning pile of Uruk-Hai, Viggo Mortensen broke two toes when he had to kick a helmet. In [B]Sergeant York[/B], Gary Cooper's character is seen using a German Luger when taking out some German soldiers. In reality, Alvin York (upon whom the film is based) used a Colt 1911. Both the Luger and the Colt have 7 rounds standard (the amount of rounds needed to take out the infantrymen), so why the change in pistols? The Colt wouldn't fire the blank rounds that were used.
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;31231261]Technically they are Lando's Clothes seeing as [B]Han stole the Millenium Falcon[/B] which is Lando's Ship[/QUOTE] [nerd]Han didn't steal the ship he won it in a game of Sabacc[/nerd]

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;31260810]So, was the scream afterwards real?[/QUOTE] Yes, it is.
[QUOTE=MisterSjeiks;31264577]Yes, it is.[/QUOTE] Now that's even more awesome.
[QUOTE=Alaskan Wolf;31059088]I'm pretty sure this is well known, but Three actors died in a helicopter crash while filming the move 'The Twilight Zone.' The deaths were captured on film from different angles. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djVBzrucNLY[/media][/QUOTE] Holy fuck, I just watched that... When you said ''Helicopter Crash'' I expected them to be IN the helicopter, crashing, and that's it. But WOW, that was brutal. I mean, what role did they have in the movie? [editline]22nd July 2011[/editline] Damn, that's just terrible. [editline]22nd July 2011[/editline] Oh wait, I mean episode, or whatever they use in the Twilight Zone. Never watched it. [editline]22nd July 2011[/editline] Nevermind, it's from the movie, which brings me back to my original question; What role did the 3 have? [editline]22nd July 2011[/editline] So, guess what I do after watching the Twilight Zone video; Research it. What do I find? A small documentary about deaths in movies because of helicopters. Guess what I find out? I am quoting the Documentary ''Two of the more serious crashes occured in the Philippines, both accidents involved Chuck Norris films.'' I grinned.

^Thanks, I'll fix that. [QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;31260810]So, was the scream afterwards real?[/QUOTE] I'd assume so. On Topic: When author A.J. Quinnell was reviewing the script for [b]Man on Fire (1987)[/b], he noticed that a line was different than what he wrote in his novel. When he questioned the writer about this, the writer's response was "Wait, there's a book?"
[b]Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring[/b] - During the fight scene between Lurtz and Aragorn, there was a part where Lurtz threw Aragorn's elven knife, which Aragorn had embedded in the Uruk-hai's leg previously in the fight, at the part where Aragorn is forced to deflect the knife with his sword. This, however, was not meant to happen in the script. In the original script, the knife was meant to hit the tree behind Aragorn but due to the restricted vision caused by the Lurtz mask, Lawrence Makoare, Lurtz's actor, missed his target and threw the knife directly at Viggo Mortensen, Aragorn's actor, who was narrowly capable of deflecting the oncoming knife before it made contact with him. Here's a video(0:35 to 0:44) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geMOjj4o2Jg[/media] So yeah Boromir and Aragorn's actors were badass.
Holy fuck that's awesome.
To create Bob's fat suit in [b]Fight Club[/b], nylon mess filled with birdseed was used to create the fat. Two suits were made, one with and one without nipples, mainly because David Fincher was unsure about how Fox would feel about them. Meat loaf had a mishap with said fat suit. After the scene where [sp]the members almost castrate the police commisioner[/sp], they are seen leaving through the garage. If you look closely, you will see that Bob's pants have fallen down, revealing part of the suit. Because "it was such a Bob thing to do," Fincher kept the take. Also, when Tyler catches Jack peeking on him and Marla having sex, Tyler is wearing a rubber glove. The gag was Brad's idea. Producer Laura Zisken wanted to remove the rubber glove take, but because it got so many laughs, she let them keep it in.
Near the end of the first Transformers, as Megatron lays injured, he notices a random human and comments "disgusting" before flicking him into a car. This apparently was Michael Bay.
I don't know if this was mentioned, but in [B]There Will Be Blood,[/B] Paul Dano was only supposed to play one of the Sunday brothers (Paul.) The original actor for Eli quit because Daniel Day Lewis was being annoying or something. In one of the final scenes of the movie [sp]Daniel throws ACTUAL bowling balls at Dano.[/sp]
In Predator 2, the Jamaican posse gangs are practicing Haitian voodoo.

[QUOTE=scotland1;31306190]Oh never mind, every shot not frame.[/QUOTE] That would be a fuck ton of coffee cups.
