1994
Fair Disclosure - I worked on this movie. I was the key production assistant for the second unit, and a day player production assistant for first unit. I will tell the whole story of my work on this movie - and why it was made - in one of my upcoming "I Was A Teenage Production Assistant" posts. Suffice to say it's an interesting tale (to me, anyway).
But what you have here is a big, sprawling, and frenetic George Lucas production with an incredible cast - here's SOME of the people in this movie:
That's right - I worked on George Burns's last movie. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Some may find it too fast paced and over the top - but I think it's a funny movie - so I say - check it out!
Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
Craig, you and George Burns! Very cool. I've never seen this movie, but I remember hearing about it. I will see it and be sure to note your name in the credits!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to read that eventual post to get the whole story of me and George Burns...
DeleteWow what a cast. I heard an account of what it was like to work with Burns in those days and it was all very refined. He was a consummate professional.
ReplyDeleteHe certainly didn't make my life difficult.
DeleteWhat a cool job to have as a teen. Good memories I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI like your selection of old movies.
Hope you are enjoying the A to Z challenge

(A secret - I wasn't actually a teen - that's just a cool name for the recurring department here at the blog - I was in my 20's for the most part.) Thank you - and yes, having a blast! Thanks for coming by!
DeleteI loved your take on the film.Was it frenetic because of the incredible and big cast or did it need the big and incredible cast because it was frenetic? I've always wondered. Hope to read more. Good luck with the A-Z!
ReplyDeleteI think the script was frenetic, and it did require the big cast since all those roles were written in. But now, the incredible part - well, chalk that up to a great casting agent!
