That Megan Fox rumor was started by Bay himself and Spielberg basically said it was BS. Bay did not need to be pressured to fire her and even included a scene disparaging her character in the film. It’s just the kind of guy that Bay is.

“The Lords of Flatbush” was made before “Happy Days,” so Henry Winkler couldn’t have been imitating Fonzie in the film.

I also saw a clip somewhere how supposedly in the scene in the cafe in 55 where Marty punches Biff there is a brief shot of Marty from behind that is Stoltz

“You do want to be in this film, don’t you?”
...Yeah, if Ian McKellan said that to me, I’d just crumble up and blow away rather than respond.

Also dunno whose idea it was to give him bangs, but that wasn’t working either.

You must not have ever paused that thing.

Who thought “let’s cast van Damme for his agility and then put a 100 pound latex prawn costume on him!”??

Is it a hot take to say Mark Ruffalo is a very mediocre Hulk/Bruce Banner?

No kidding, the behind the scenes of Predator was kind of crazy. My favorite was them having to hire a body guard to be on set to protect everyone FROM Sonny Landham.

If I had a nickle...

Man, a Stanley Kubrick directed X-Men would be insane and glorious.

Then I was fat and unemployed...

You’ve gotta be spry in order to commit as many murders as Jess Fletcher did.

If you told me Lords of Flatbush was a 70s porno, I’d believe you.

That’s just how people refer to Edward. “’ken Norton, man.”

And that fact that it and a greasy chicken sandwich is the origin of the rumour that Richard Gere shoves gerbils up his arsehole.

However, the prototype Predator looked like a giant shrimp

I just heard that he was let go because he was simply too short for the suit. Which seems accurate. JCVD isn’t a tall guy.

I know the point stands regardless of the chronology, but calling Winkler’s performance in The Lords of Flatbush a pale imitation of Fonzie might lead some to believe that Winkler was coasting on his Fonz persona there for a while. In reality, that role preceded his Happy Days role.

Sadly, Ken Norton made a great Ed Norton, but Jackie Gleason thought otherwise.

Like 70% of Back to the Future was already filmed with Stoltz. They originally wanted MJF but he was busy with Family Ties and other projects. By the time they scrapped Stoltz, MJF was available and they reshot almost the entire film with him pulling doubles—working full time on both Family Ties (days) and BTTF…
