Mind-blowing actor crossovers
 

There are a lot of these and I'm aware of a good percentage.

But this...THIS ONE...has left my brain in another dimension.

Won't lie, I have no clue who that is.

I know the movie of the alien. not the actor

Dan O'Herlihy.

The Old Man from Robocop?

Halloween III season of the witch ?

This movie was digitally remastered recently. Has anyone seen it and if so, how does it look?

Yes. Is also the ****ing alien from The Last Starfighter.

WHAT

Wil Wheaton played Alex' friend in The Last Starfighter, but his scenes were cut?

Hadn't heard that. Considering how primitive the CGI was in that movie, though, I think they'd need to go well beyond remastering. The visuals were groundbreaking back in 1984, but now they're the equivalent of the Wright Brothers' first flight in a world of jets.

The VFX were fairly basic and rudimentary but I saw it in the past decade or so and thought it held up better than Tron in those terms. If Disney+ is streaming the remastered Tron, the original must be unwatchable because whatever they're streaming is awful, too, IMO.

There are two different versions of The Last Starfighter out there. There's a 2009 "25th Anniversary", which was just a straight digital transfer and a 2020 4K scan and Remaster, which is what I'd be interested in purchasing.

I thought Tron was better because they weren't trying to portray things that existed in a physical world. Gave them much more leeway. IMO it holds up far better than Last Starfighter.

Don't get me wrong, though, I really like both of them.

You have to appreciate The Last Starfighter for being one of the pillars that future visual effects were built upon.

Plus the story is just good clean fun, with a hilariously cheesy villain, and a great score.

It's like a live-action cartoon.

Yeah, truth be told, I'm a sucker for both movies and if I'm flipping around channels and see either airing, I'll undoubtedly stop to watch.

Same here, although I haven't seen either one of them on TV in forever. Both of them had very original stories, had likeable stars, and were well made.

Tron was kind of the Matrix before there was a Matrix.

One of my buddies was an usher at the local theater, and gave me the official Tron poster after it's run ended. I'm sure I still have it somewhere. I should probably get it framed.

What the hell happened to David Naughton after this movie? Did he drop off a cliff?

That was absolute perfection because it was an inner transformation.

The blaze in the eyes, the macho stride, the subtle mix of false bravado, confusion and barely masked terror, it was almost more like a documentarian filming an honest to god psycho s/he had discovered than an actress playing a Hollywood role.

What movie is this from?

Enemy Mine in the 1980s.

"Earthman, your Mickey Mouse is one big stupid dope!"

The movie itself is 'okay' and gets some stuff wrong, but Depp's transformation into Whitey Bulger was impressive.

I also thought Daniel Day Lewis as Lincoln was (can't believe I'm going to write this...) sublime. Well, I'm impressed by anything he does, really. Might be the greatest living actor, IMO.

Yeah I watched this on HBO I think it was after it was released from theaters to CATV. I liked it enough that I sought out the book it was based off on and as usual, it was better. Very underrated movie for that period.

no

Here's another good lost-in-the-makeup transition, although you pretty much have to be of a certain age, which I am, to remember the movie.

Joel Grey as Chiun from Remo Williams.

lol ****ing kate mulgrew is in that

Yep.

I actually watched this for the first time in years a couple of weeks ago; found it while channel surfing. It's a fun movie.

I deleted the clip I posted when I realized it was dubbed in some language I don't recognize. :D

Will Wheaton played a sexual sadist / serial killer "tough guy" in Criminal Minds.

https://external-content.duckduckgo....jpg&f=1&nofb=1

Jamie Kennedy played a cannibal that told the team he got messages from Satan.

https://external-content.duckduckgo....jpg&f=1&nofb=1

This one is just for Clay.

Mark Hamill played a serial killer on Criminal Minds, too.

https://external-content.duckduckgo....422&f=1&nofb=1

Mr. Brooks is probably in my top 10 of best movies simply because you never saw Kevin Costner being such an evil guy...

https://www.screengeek.net/wp-conten...karl-urban.jpg
Karl Urban as Dredd...yes, you knew it was him, but most impressive to me was he never took off the helmet to show his face, which I think is pretty common for big stars. They want people to know who they are.

Dredd was awesome by the way. Way better than Judge Dredd with Stallone...though I admit, l like that one too.

I've never seen this. Seems like I should definitely check it out.

And his hair was perfect.

I doubt you will be disappointed. I had never even heard of it and someone recommended it to me and I was like.... how have I never heard of this movie... it is fantastic.

I to liked them both. Saw the Stallone Dredd most recently, need to watch the Urban Dredd again.

So this would've made for a very different Captain Picard.

a wholesome gay couple!

The Stallone Dredd is, like so many other Stallone action movies, cheesy, mindless fun. Kind of like Cobra, only with recycled food. Apparently it shit all over the source material and pissed off the comic book fan base, but since I don't give a crap about the source material, I really have no problem with it.

The Urban Dredd, however, is absolutely spectacular. Fantastic film. Also, if there's ever been a more nonstop violent movie made, I haven't seen it.

Yeah, all that's well and good but the best part of the movie is this bad mother****er and his space-monocle:

I remember liking that movie too. Well, except for the shootout scene near the end.

Speaking of Kevin Costner: he also played the corpse at the very beginning of The Big Chill.

https://i.imgur.com/S4H5fwO.jpg

Yep. All of his scenes were cut from the movie. The director, Lawrence Kasdan, felt bad about it, and gave him the star-making roll of Jake in his next movie, Silverado.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5g2en7CTUk8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The Big Chill was one of my favorite movies when it came out and for a few years after. I'm not sure why, as I was only 16 or 17 when it came out but the performances by all of the actors were phenomenal, especially Goldblum, who I thought was acting but later realized that's just him.

LMAO

I'm actually glad Kasdan cut those scenes because as a viewer, it was more emotional not to see him that it would have been had we'd seen him, IMO. Plus, there were enough characters to follow and one more would have probably cluttered it up a bit too much.

I haven't seen Silverado in probably decades but as I recall, it was pretty awesome as well.

So, the first 2 are Christopher Collins. Is the 3rd him as well? If so, what from?

Always remember him as Chris Latta. Not sure he even tried to differentiate Cobra Commander from Starscream.

He played a member of an alien race called the Pakleds in one of the worst episodes of Star Trek the Next Generation.

Silverado is awesome. It is cheesy and silly, and basically every western cliche thrown into a blender, but it's well made, beautifully shot, and has one of the best casts ever assembled. I particularly liked Brian Dennehy's performance as the evil sheriff who is so likeable that you can't ever really hate him.

I somehow missed that film in the theaters but saw it years later on HBO and thought it was a blast. I should definitely revisit.

The first time I became aware of Costner was No Way Out. He was so convincing and so likable, then that ending was mind-blowingly awesome! When Dances With Wolves was released, I saw it opening weekend and was completely blown away. One of these days, I need to watch his series on Paramount Plus.

And yeah, Dennehy was amazing in every role, whether he was a good guy or a bad guy. Dude was too cool.

I hated No Way Out. I'm sure I've bitched about this before, so I won't rehash the reasons, but suffice to say that the shipboard-rescue-in-the-storm bullshit is the most egregious, inaccurate and stupid portrayal of the Navy I've ever seen, and that includes Bay's Pearl Harbor. I saw this movie in the theater near Great Lakes, and after that scene about half the men in the audience (fellow veteran fleet sailors) got up and left. I would have been one of them had I not had a date with me. At that point it didn't matter whether the remainder of the movie was good or bad; it was ruined for me. When he ended up being a spy in the end, my reaction was "****ing figures." :D

And I absolutely agree on Dennehy. If he's ever given a bad performance in a movie, I've never seen it.

I'm not a big Costner fan but Brian Dennehy was awesome. I read a funny anecdote about him and his agent a few years ago on Twitter:

He’s great in The Boys.

Enemy mine.

EXCELLENT movie. I'm pretty sure the alien culture is supposed to be loosely based off of Islam...

It's similar to Hell in the Pacific (1968) starring Lee Marvin and Toshirō Mifune.

I need the Frazod dressing down of all cinematic naval embarrassments.

And I need it now.

That's really a shame, because the movie and the actor's performances were top notch, especially Gene Hackman, George Dzundza and Will Patton as Hackman's sleazy underling. At the time, I would have never guessed Costner's true identity.

That said, I totally get it. I get turned off when movies or TV series get shit wrong, whether it's about music or the entertainment business or even science and physics when it's not science fiction/fantasy.

I tried to watch the Netflix series Hollywood and lasted about 10 minutes because it was so utterly ridiculous and fictional.

Okay.....

So Costner's character is the OOD (officer on deck) in charge of the bridge during a furious storm at night on the cruiser (destroyer?) USS Billings (BB 1649). The bow watch (a guy standing on the pointy end) gets washed over the side by a wave, and is left dangling by a rope against the side of the ship. Costner heroically leaves the bridge to lead the rescue party, which slips and slides it's way to the bow and rescues the hapless bow watch guy. Instant hero!

Where to start with this crap....

1. There is no USS Billings, and if there was, it would be a submarine.

2. "BB" is the designation for a battleship. None of them have 4-digit hull numbers. And they are named for states, not cities. And this ship WASN'T a battleship.

3. There are no "bow watches" in the modern navy. We have radar and sonar now. And what the hell is a bow watch going to see, at night, during a storm - mermaids? Give me a break. Also, during a storm, the weather decks (anything outside) are secured. You'd never have some guy attached to a rope standing outside in a storm anywhere, especially on the bow. ****.

4. The outer decks of modern ships are coated with non-skid, a course grippy material that provides traction for walking, and specifically guards against slipping and sliding. That's kind of a big deal on a ship rolling in the middle of the ****ing ocean.

5. No bridge officer, especially the one in charge, would EVER abandon his post for any reason. And definitely not in the middle of a ****ing storm. He would have been court-martialed for abandoning his post.

Everything about that scene was preposterous. I guess to the average person who doesn't know dick about the Navy, being at sea or being in a storm it wouldn't matter (this obviously includes the asshats who made this piece of crap), but I was in the Navy, have been at sea, and have been in real storms like that, and that scene basically rubbed shit in my face. It's the dumbest goddamn thing I've ever seen committed to film. It's worse than Signs. It's worse than Lynch's Dune.

I always come back to Signs for stuff like this. A movie about a farmer who sleeps in, never works, and doesn't own a gun, battling aliens who can be killed by water on a planet covered mostly by water, where it rains.

Seriously, who writes this shit? LMAO

LMAO That's ****ing awesome.

Yeah they must have watched the opening of Last Crusade on the ship Indy escapes from and taken inspiration from that.

I guess. That scene wasn't too bad.

There are obvious limitations to what filmmakers can do portraying ocean storms. Especially in the days before CGI. I understand that.

Here are the things are that are wrong about that scene:

1. The boat isn't rolling or pitching, as it would be in a storm of the magnitude they're attempting to depict. They try to fake it by splashing water, but the water on the deck isn't moving from side to side like it would be in a real situation.

2. The waves shown after Indy goes overboard are no where near big enough. It is highly unlikely that he would have survived in a real storm bad enough to sink a ship that size.

3. This is kind of petty, but it's always obvious in movies like that that the water they use is fresh, not salt. Saltwater is frothy when it washes across an exposed deck. Freshwater isn't.

Here's a little reality. Been there, done that. At times, for days on end. (The title is misleading - no actual "battleship" is depicted.)

I checked it last night and do recommend. There is an emotion in there that I hadn't thought of before and found it intriguing and wondering if others have felt the same about passing something like that along.

Having said that, had they completely deleted Demi's cop character, would it have mattered at all?

Not really.

Speaking of underrated Kevin Costner movies, what do you guys think of "A Perfect World"?


Back on topic - can anyone name these two ladies?

JESUS

Frazod, were you scared shitless during your first storm LMAO

Nah. It's more annoying than scary. You have to tie everything down, and the stuff that you can't tie down slips and slides all over the place. Eating was a real adventure in high seas. As well as walking around. And of course when you're in a storm for several days people start getting really sick, so there's puke, and the smell of puke, everywhere. Imagine eating lunch when the guy sitting next to you suddenly hurls, and then five or six other people see it/smell it and blow chunks as well. Not fun. The North Atlantic was the worst. We made a crossing from Spain to Virginia in mid-fall once and were in nasty, heavy seas for a week. I never got sick, but I was on the verge when it finally broke. At that point about 90% of the crew was affected.

I guess there was one time that was scary. We hit a freak trough in the middle of the night and took a roll that just kept going and going; far beyond normal. We were in calm seas at the time, so nothing was tied down. So not only did shit fly all over the place, but some stuff that was welded in place actually broke loose. What a mess that was. Lots of broken equipment and some injuries. Found out later that we were only a couple of degrees away from capsizing.

Check this out, starting about the 1:40 mark. :)

Having seen this in the OP so many time, now that I made the connection, cannot unsee.
