Quote HistoryQuoted: In the panic scene over the fake shark fin, one of the boys with the fin grew up to become police chief where the movie was filmed. And while it's uncredited, if you pay attention, John Ritter flips over the yellow raft in that panic. Are you sure?  Failed To Load Title |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: 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.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. Gotta see real evidence of this to believe it. Sounds like the plot to Close Encounters with the Third Grade. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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.  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Peter "Two Quarts" North did not in fact ejaculate two quarts of semen in a single load. 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. He got his "big break" doing gay porn. Was a "power bottom" from what I understand. |

Die Hard was actually book 2 of a series.
The first book was The Detective and was made into a movie staring Frank Sinatra. So you could say Frank Sinatra was the first person to play John McClain.  if you ever wondered how Hans Gruber could earn 20% on bonds it's because it was from the 70s when interest rates were high. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek TOS) was involved in the D Day invasion, wounded 6 times and lost a finger IIRC. https://www.thefocus.news/celebrity/james-doohan-finger/ Truth. I met him in person. If you notice, he always tried to hide his right hand in the series and movies. Possibly the one time you can sort of make out that he's missing a finger is in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. He hands Kirk some parts and you can kind of make out that his right hand "ain't quite right." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Part of ET was filmed a couple of houses up from my wife's mom's house. (Tujunga, CA) They paid for the use of a drive way. The amount of money studios pay for locations is insane. Parts of the movie "The men who stare at goats" was filmed at my former employer's main business building. They found a great building, then revamped the main set with false walls. This set was the place where the inside office shots were made. Remember where Stephen Lang tried to walk through the wall? That's the place. The large bay window overlooks Washington, DC. The actual view through that window is a red brick building and its breezeway. They hung a huge blue screen curtain over the other building and put some potted live trees just outside the window. I spoke to the set director about the cost of stuff. He'd budgeted $300,000 for filming for one week at this set... where there were perhaps ten minutes of action! And at that, it was far cheaper than the cost of a sound stage- which wasn't available for ANY cost at the time! (Albuquerque has a burgeoning film industry; it's where "Breaking Bad" was filmed.) They also parked three semis and a couple of 27' Uhaul trucks in the parking lot to haul all their stuff- cameras, sound stuff, cables, etc. Frank Symptom's rule of thumb: for every person in front of the camera, there are AT LEAST five behind it! |

Joe (2013) Starring Nicholas Cage
2nd lead actor, Gary Poulter, plays a homeless drunk and abusive father in this dark southern drama. It's a film about hard southern life w/ evil subject matter. In reality Gary was a former actor turned homeless. The director literally pulled him off the streets and tried to sober him up to play a role directly mimicking his lifestyle. Unfortunately Gary died shortly before the film premiered along side a river embankment near a homeless camp. His death oddly mimics a death in the film. Joe is personally one of my favorite films. It's a slow burn but what's so interesting (besides Gary) is that the director David Gordon Green cast many regular average everyday people into supporting roles. Also, it's Cages best film performance of his career IMO. Check it out if you have the chance. It's worth the watch. |

The scene in Jurassic Park where the T-Rex comes out of nowhere and grabs a small dinosaur was inspired by a similar scene in the 1969 Ray Harryhausen dinosaur movie Valley of Gwangi.
 T-Rex Ambush Scene - Jurassic Park (1993) Movie Clip HD  The valley of gwangi gwangi kills the ornithomimus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Valley_of_Gwangi During the 1980s hit TV series Scarecrow and Mrs. King, anytime a television was shown on in the series, The Valley of Gwangi was on the screen. In the episode "The One Where Joey Speaks French" of the situation comedy Friends, Ross watches the film while in a hospital. |

I used to know the guy who owned the brown van from "my moms a serial killer" or what ever the title was.
They approached him when he was at one of the location when they where scouting it to use his van. The idea was it was crappy enough to be some kids van. They had to put new tires, brakes, seat belts, windshield and a few other parts on it to make it safe to drive. In other words, it was crappy enough to be some kids van. |

OK, not really about the movie, more about actors on the set. (as seen in the documentary "behind the planet of the apes)
During the filming of The Planet of the Apes all the crew and actors would have lunch in the canteen they set up. They would all mix and mingle indiscriminately. Once they got into their makeup, the Apes would congregate with apes, the Chimps would congregate with other chimps, and the orangutans would hang out with other orangutans. Weird that varied and disparate actors would self-segregate into their assumed "races". Nobody planned it that way, it just happened organically. |

The first scene of the Clint Eastwood movie "Hang 'Em High" was filmed about a mile from my childhood home. I recognize the mountains in the background.
 Hang'em High- Hanging an Innocent Man The actual area where the actors were filmed doesn't look anything like it did in the movie. River levees were added to the area years after the movie was made. |
