Movie Mash-Up

[Raf]

Based on the clues I would guess Ocean's 11

[Human without the bean]

The original and remake have some trivia I like, at any rate.

-Four of the actors have appeared in "Friends", (but I doubt this movie was meant to

reunite them.)

I haven't seen all the episodes from Friends but were Damon, Pitt, Garcia or Roberts ever on that show?

That was correct.

The original and remake have some trivia I like, at any rate.

-In the original, one member of the principal cast didn't stay at the same hotel as the others.

Sammy Davis Jr wasn't allowed to stay at the same hotel in the original.

In the remake, nobody cared where Don Cheadle stayed.

-The writer was a gas-station attendant who handed the script to one of the actors while

filming up his car.

-Significant dialogue was often ad-libbed- in many cases, improving on the official script

as they bantered.

The Rat Pack all knew each other, so ad-libbing was easy.

-In the remake, a scene eating a shrimp cocktail was reshot. By the time it was done,

the actor had eaten 40 shrimps. (It's not his only scene in the movie where

he's eating on-camera.)

-One character kept his name from the original, the rest were all renamed.

-Four of the actors have appeared in "Friends", (but I doubt this movie was meant to

reunite them.)

Brad Pitt's character is supposedly always running around, so he eats whenever he

can sit down-which is most of the times we see him.

"Danny Ocean" was the name that was kept, all the others were changed.

Julia Roberts got revenge on one of the guys in one episode (they'd met as children.)

George Clooney and Brad Pitt also appeared, each in an episode.

Elliott Gould plays the father of Ross and Monica Geller in several episodes.

I knew Gould was somebody's father because he's only able to score that role now. I must have missed those other episodes because I don't remember seeing Pitt or Clooney. I know Paul Rudd was on "friends" too.

Who's up?

Could it be...SATAN Raf?

One of the most recognizable stars of this (relatively) recent film is never actually seen on screen, although the character he plays is. He has two lines, one of which is repeated. The actor claims to have recorded it 1,000 times (it is used a lot, but not THAT much). His second line is a slight variation on the first, and it's his last line in the movie.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"Guardians of the Galaxy"?

[Raf]

Vin Diesel. "I am Groot."

"We are Groot."

You're up.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

The star of the movie played clarinet in the Dixieland parts of the music score.

The movie was originally to have been shot in Brasilia, then considered a very "futuristic" city. Budget constraints kept filming in the US.

The main character is told that his world came to an end when a madman named Albert Shanker got hold of a nuclear device. Albert Shanker was the president of the American Federation of Teachers.

Wake me in three days if no one gets it.

Dixieland in a movie that wasn't written specifically for New Orleans.

That HAS to limit the number of suspects a lot.

I can name 2 movies that SHOULD have Dixieland and both were there.

Futuristic with Dixieland?

*looks around*

Ok, I can hear some Dixieland horns in my head,

from a scene that involved a potential "big meal" with some big food.

Was this "Sleeper"?

[Raf]

That would be my guess

Now I want to watch it this weekend...

Haven't seen it for a long time, actually.

Saw "Bananas" a lot more recently than that.

"Sleeper" was my favorite movie for a long time. (And I've always loved "What's Up, Tiger Lily?")

Next movie.

Mr T (really)

Steven Spielberg

Paul Reubens

Chaka Khan

Steven Spielberg

Paul Reubens

Chaka Khan

Paul Reuben ate some cereal called Mr. T in Peewee's Great Adventure. Does that count WordWolf? I'm not sure but Chaka Khan may have joined the eagles and Spielberg directed it. Maybe?

Chaka Khan

Kathleen Freeman

John Lee Hooker

Henry Gibson

[Raf]

I can only think of one movie with John Lee Hooker AND Steven Spielberg.

Actually, I can only think of one movie with John Lee Hooker, and Steven Spielberg is in it.

SS has credits as an actor in 13 movies. JLH has credit as an actor in exactly one movie.

(Both according to IMDb.)

Then here's my guess:

Boom boom boom boom....

The Blues Brothers

[WordWolf]

Then here's my guess:

Boom boom boom boom....

The Blues Brothers

That's correct, and that was John Lee Hooker doing a live recording of that song in that scene.

The extended version includes him and a band member arguing over which of them wrote it.

Steven Spielberg

Paul Reubens

Chaka Khan

Kathleen Freeman

John Lee Hooker

Henry Gibson

Here's who they played:

Mr T was outside on the street. (I'll have to check when.)

Joe Walsh was at the very end of the movie. At the jail, when the band performs, one prisoner jumps on a table,

then the prisoners all start getting up and dancing. The one that jumped up first was Joe Walsh.

Steven Spielberg was the clerk at the Cook County Assessor's Office at the end, the one they pay, and who

stamps and issues a receipt.

Paul Reubens was a waiter in the restaurant where Mister Fabulous worked. ("Wrong glass, sir.")

Chaka Khan was in the gospel choir. Kathleen Freeman played The Penguin (the nun.)

John Lee Hooker sang "Boom Boom Boom Boom" on the street outside the soul food restaurant that

Matt "Guitar" Murphy and his wife (Aretha Franklin's role) ran.

Henry Gibson played the leader of the Illinois Nazis. Or, more specifically, the leader of

the American Socialist White People's Party (ASWPP for short.) His speech and Pledge of Allegiance

were actually taken almost verbatim from a documentary-"the California Reich."

So, Raf's turn.
