The actor (Gianni Russo) who played Carlo Rizzi in the Godfather had to re-act his final Michael Corleone scene with Pablo Escobar playing the part of Corleone rather than Al Pachino. He thought he was about to be killed for real like his character was. He was there because he shot a Medellin drug cartel dude in the head in self defense.

They should make a DVD of only helicopter scenes with theme music played over it. I'd buy the sh out of that.jeffk said:
It was 100% the helicopter and the theme music.
I've seen or read some interviews with him before, and my impression of the guy is that he has a colorful imagination. He's also knowledgable about the full body count that was required to keep the JFK assassination a secret. I think he had the number somewhere over 70.Quote:

of course they have (sidenote: If Airwolf was filmed today it'd look like obviously fake CGI crap guaranteed. How is it these bad ass shows of our childhood could look so great but we can't do it now? All in the name of profits I guess)third coast.. said:
Someone has probably already done that and put it on YouTube.
Let's get back to Christopher Lee badassery.... If memory serves, not only did he meet Tolkien, but Tolkien had specifically gave him his BLESSING TO PLAY Gandalf.bluefire579 said:He really is. Listened to a podcast episode about him recently that had other fun facts:powerbelly said:
Christopher Lee is the best.
- Knew Ian Fleming, was a partial inspiration for the character James Bond, going back to his service with the British during WWII, and was who they wanted to originally play Dr. No (forget why he didn't end up doing so
- Was apparently a huge LotR fan, wanted to play Gandalf, but was considered too old and instead really embraced the antagonist role of Saruman. Apparently the only one involved in the trilogy who had met Tolkien.
- Wicker Man (the original, not the Nic Cage one) was one of the films he was most proud of and he spoke very publicly about it when it came out
- In Attack of the Clones, did a lot of his own swordsmanship with the lightsaber, and utilized his actual knowledge of swords to develop Dooku's fighting style
- When he wanted to get into acting, was considered too tall for it. Ended up, of course, becoming one of the most prolific actors in terms of movies made, appearing in a couple of hundred movies and never having a break for more than 4 months throughout his career. Had numerous Guinness World Records relating to it while he was alive (forget the specifics)
Reciting these from memory, so maybe some mild inaccuracies, but really a remarkable life and career
I'd seen that before but had completely forgotten about it. Thanks for sharing.Brian Earl Spilner said:
Popped up in my suggested videos and this seemed like a good place to share it.
It's a good story, but doesn't Dreyfuss have a reputation of being a huge ass?Brian Earl Spilner said:

A bit of history of James Doohan "Scottie from Star Trek"
2) On Juno Beach Doohan was hit 6 times by friendly fire, 4 in the leg, one took his right middle finger and the last bullet was stopped by a silver cigarette case in his breast pocket.
