top 3 facts about movies i could think of in an instant. i used to be an absolute total movie buff but something no longer made sense and i stopped watching.

1. terry crews who played President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho in my old favorite movie idiocracy said that while at a hollywood elite party he was approached by a drunken jewish movie maker i forget the guys name and the guy grabbed ahold of terrys penis and testicles massaging them in front of his wife. terry got a giant settlement to keep his mouth shut once it got out in the news that terry was not gay and mad as hell that his wife saw him not beat the guy into the carpet.

2. spielbergs 1st movie was called amblin and was only about a young boy on the road with zero interest in gals that made no sense. at the very last minute of the movie he turns out to be a full blown guy on guy anal fag who cared more for loosening his anus with pepto bismol and reading gay literature than ever looking at the most sexy and available gals who couldnt catch him.

researchers have proven the movie would only be exposed as secretly gay to the gay community and all other watchers of the film would walk away never understanding the meaning of the movie except that it was extremely meaningless!

after that spielbergs career burst onto the scene with powerful philantrophist backing. spielberg went on to make movies such as amistad and shindlers list etc that rewrite jewish slave trade history and ww2 in such a way that creates great racial hate against everyone except jews. spielberg had jeffrey epstein style hollywood elite initiation partys with multiple child rape case coverups at the residence that micheal jackson later ended up with called neverland ranch.

3. steven spielberg and 2 other extremely powerful elite pedophiles raped the 12 year old little girl movie star named heather o'rourke on the actual set of the movie poltergeist in 1988 in a side room. the three of them raped her in places we ought not talk about so hard she died the most violent death a child could possibly have. the paramedics kept reviving her and the resulting death and autopsy was extremely hard to cover up and alot of info leaked out at the time but media domination and vast money eventually fixed the problem.

theres still old documentaries and documents on all this stuff if you know where to look its just very much sensored.

In The Fellowship of The Ring, the Uruk Hai Lurtz was supposed to throw the dagger several feet off to the side, away from Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn).  Then special effects and camera angles would be used to make it appear that the dagger was thrown directly at Viggo Mortensen.

The dagger slipped out of the orc actor's hands, flying directly at Viggo.  Viggo deflected the dagger with his sword for real.

Milla Jovovich was 19 when she filmed scenes for The Fifth Element, when production began in 1995.  

The director Luc Besson married her in 1997 when she was 21 and he was 38; she was his third waifu.

Prior to her he was involved with a 15-year-old when he was 31 and married that one when she hit 16.  

That second wife claimed his movie Leon (AKA The Professional) was inspired by their relationship.  That film revolves around the relationship between an adult man and a 12-year-old girl.  Natalie Portman, who played the 12-year-old was subjected to all kinds of undue pedo attention after that movie was released.

A two for one. One scene left on the cutting room floor of Fury has Pitt who is drunk and mad leaving a barn dance with his brother and a girl and Pitt is at the wheel. He loses control and his brother is killed. The hot engine lands on his back which is where the scarring came from. The reaction Pitt had when the new A driver gave him his name is because Pitts brothers name was Norman.

There's no reason for Shimmer Lake to feature sheriff's deputies in tan uniforms and tan cruisers because it wasn't filmed in Ohio. It was filmed in Toronto.

Also, many films and TV shows that feature portrayals of the LAPD omit the usage of front-facing steady-red and rear-facing amber lights, so as to differentiate mock cruisers from real ones. This is easily seen in series such as Southland.

In a lot of war movies, green crosses are used instead of red crosses to denote medics and hospitals because red crosses are a trademark of the Red Cross Society.

George Lucas had to create his own special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, to do the special effects in the original trilogy of Star Wars.

Will Smith rarely does sequels for movies because he won't do a sequel for a movie he hated acting in. It's speculated that this is why there hasn't been a sequel for I Am Legend.

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, intentionally used 399 swears because it would've gotten an NC-17 rating if it used 400 swears.

During the production of Noah's Ark in 1927, three extras drowned on set during a scene depicting the Great Flood, while multiple extras were seriously injured, including one that required a leg amputation. 35 ambulances responded to the set, and stuntman safety laws were passed the next year.

One of the modern US cinema's greatest stuntmen and stunt innovators, Dar Robinson only appeared in a relatively small number of films compared to other stuntmen (before losing his life in an off-set motorcycle accident); however, he set new benchmarks in stunt performances.

Robinson first appeared onscreen doubling for Steve McQueen jumping into the sea off a clifftop in Papillon (1973), and the following year leapt into the sea again on a motorbike doubling for crooked cop David Soul in Magnum Force (1973). Robinson also doubled for Henry Silva in the dramatic conclusion to Sharky's Machine (1981) where Silva's hitman character is blasted by cop Burt Reynolds through a plate glass window and falls to his death from an Atlanta, Georgia, skyscraper. In reality, Robinson took the dive out the window and landed an on an airbag many floors below to break his fall!

Dar was a high-fall specialist and one of his most amazing stunts was doubling for Christopher Plummer at the conclusion of Highpoint (1982) where the villain falls from the 1,170-foot-high CN Tower in Toronto, Canada. Once again, Dar took the plunge with a concealed parachute, which he opened at the absolute last moment, and he earned $150,000 for his work. Robinson also appeared in several minor acting roles onscreen; however, in 1987, Burt Reynolds backed his faith in Dar by casting him as the sadistic albino villain "Moke" in the crime thriller Stick (1985). Not only did Dar act in front of the camera but he also designed and performed the incredible stunt where "Moke" falls to his death from a very high balcony, seemingly straight onto the pavement below. In actual fact, Dar was rigged to a complex wire rig that "deccelerated" his fall, and made the use of an airbag unnecessary

Balls of steel.

I watched a documentary on stuntmen that detailed the highlighted fall.  Friggin' amazing.


It was Dar's idea in Stick to empty the gun on the way down.

When that man was a top tier performer it was sort of a "thing" to speculate on how he did what he did.  I never did read that he revealed what supplement he was taking but there was plenty of speculation in the men's magazines.

Not that I would read those.

Even though he played an aging gunman dying of cancer in The Shootist, John Wayne was cancer free during the shooting of the film.  He was very sick however during filming, delaying it somewhat.  He died three years later of stomach cancer.

He always believed that he got his cancer from filming in the area of atomic bomb tests for the movie The Conqueror.  Several cast members of that movie died of cancer.
