The first one about the horse was not to establish all four hooves touch the ground when running. It's the exact opposite. It was to prove the suspicion that all four hooves left the ground at once, hence leaving the horse in a momentary state of hovering.

#17 it wasn't just Ford who was ill. A lot of the crew and cast had dysentery, they were running out of money and film, and Ford suggested that Indy would just shoot the guy anyway. He 'rewrote' a ton of Lucas' lines in Star Wars too. Apparently they weren't that good. You can pretty much bet that all the best lines were from Ford's mind :D

Monty Python and the Holy Grail was mostly made with money from the sales of Pink Floyd's The Wall. Pink Floyd were such big Python fans that they'd stop recording sessions to watch The Flying Circus. When they heard that Monty Python was trying to make a movie but couldn't get the money, they willingly gave them a good percentage of the album profits from The Wall, no strings attached.

I have long suspected critics of faking reviews, This is why I like KZread. I would like to see a list about animals in films and if they got hurt or not. or a list on times actors got hurt. Also a list of movies that never got made even though years of time and money went in to them and they actually made stuff for it or a list on props and costumes reused from other films. or a list of film locations you can actually visit. or a list of historical facts films got right or wrong. Actually a lot of ideas now. I have seen plenty of trailers that lied to me too that can be good if it attracts people but it can also chase them off. I try not to watch too many trailers. I wonder what sort of Hitchcock movie would have been filmed at Disney Land? a list about people related to famous people would be fun too. I do some times wish we could go back to how things used to be in Hollywood when the news about actors just covered them having parties and playing golf and hanging out pol side and it looked like they all knew each other.

How about that the industry began in places like New Jersey and Astoria, New York?
When I saw Hitchcock and Disney in the thumbnail, I was sure you'd mention Hitch's famous quote about Uncle Walt: "Disney has the best casting. If he doesn't like an actor he just tears him up." Another great quote has to do with the Jazz Singer. Produced by the Warner Brothers, Harry Warner's take on talking pictures was "who the hell wants to hear actors talk?" (The full quote reveals that he thought the important thing about sound was the music.)
The fact that Hollywood was started as a religious community.
In movies and television, Lassie was always played by a male collie. Ken Weatherwax, the actor who played Pugsley Addams on the original 1964 Addams Family, was related to Lassie's trainer Rudd Weatherwax. Shirley Temple was the original choice for Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz. When it was found out that Mel Brooks was going to produce The Fly, many people assumed that the film was going to be a comedy. When Olivia Newton John appears in the film Grease wearing her skin tight leather outfit, the reactions of her male co-stars are real.
Warner brothers. You forgot Yakko, Wakko & Dot.

I am, in the indi circles, a screenwriter and producer- having one film presented at Lionsgate and two features under option. One thing you did not mention is politics. Hollywood and Washington, DC are in a marriage of convenience. If you write a film and want a chance of getting it produced, you must keep in mind that the two (Hollywood and the government of the USA) are slaves to each other. If you want a real chance of your film being made, as a writer or producer; you must cater to the winds of political fancy and place flowers upon them. Look to history, beginning with Theodore Roosevelt. He is the man that placed the ring upon Hollywood and began the modern model of media politics. Hollywood is a political tool and nothing more- yet this tool has extraordinary power. Why do the political opinions 'matter' of various actors and actresses? It is part of the symbiotic relationship between them. Modern politicians cannot gain power without the Hollywood media- and those in power in Hollywood won't support those that oppose the Academy ideals. The end result- There's a reason why universities refer to media studies as the, 'liberal arts'. If a liberal politician (typically Democratic) is available, Hollywood will support said person. In return, said liberal will support the education/indoctrination that Hollywood can sell using the present factions of lies to the world. In the USA presently, Hollywood is mostly supportive of the Democratic party. It does not matter what the truth may be; 'symbiotic survival' is paramount. Look for yourselves. Can you see Conservatism, Christianity and historic family values being extolled and endorsed in Hollywood today? No. A few folks speak out but they are quickly quenched. So, if you want to make a movie you must adhere to the Democratic liberal agenda. A personal address to Hollywood- Kiss my ass. You're as trapped as you think you have Washington DC trapped. You have lost your ability to think.

Art Buchwald. Columnist. 1500 words every other day. Most syndicated writer of the post war. You know, The Big War, lots of noise. Hire an editor, or, Wikipidia. He was also the funniest man you never read.
#8 “The Jazz Singer” was the first film to have some dialogue and singing. There were previous films which had pre-recorded musical scores interspersed with sound effects. One of the earliest (don’t know about THE first) was 1926’s “Don Juan” starring John Barrymore. The music is quite nice, but the sword fights are punctuated by someone swishing steak knives together which don’t match the action. Some films had select scenes with dialogue intended for theatres wired for sound. The first fully scored, full dialogue film was “The Lights of New York” (1928).
i've stayed up past 72 hours and my eyes never got like that
Interesting and surprising list you guys 🙂👍
14:19 The upside is that back then, when an actor was under contract with a studio, they’d get a yearly salary even if they weren’t performing.
#5 - The producer was not charged, nor was he fined $5,000 for using the word, "Damn." At the time, the Motion Pictures Production Code, or the Hayes Code, did make one of the rules of no cursing in movies. However, a month before Gone with The Wind was release, an amendment was placed with this rule, in which an movie that is based on history or folklore can curse.

Sheb Wooley did the original Wilhlem scream. He was a regular, on the TV series, Rawhide. He was, in the movie "High Noon". He also performed the song, "The Purple People Eater", in 1958. Sheb also performed under the name Ben Colder... "Almost Persuaded No. 2" a novelty Country song.
Eadweard Muybridge created the first motion picture of a horse galloping to settle a bet of which the question was if all the hooves of a horse were in the air and NOT touching the ground at the same point in time. He was hired by Leland Stanford

Yes, I noticed Mike's error, too. As can be seen in the film, all of the horse's hooves are, indeed, off the ground in a rhythmic cycle.
In another case of irony, 24 years after Psycho, Walt Disney Productions were the first studio to express interest in making A Nightmare On Elm Street. Of course, it would've been a complete different film from the one we know and love today, but thankfully, director Wes Craven turned their offer down and went with New Line Cinema. Incidentally, the production almost drove New Line Cinema to bankruptcy, but the film ironically saved the company. So since then, New Line Cinema has been referred to as "The House That Freddy Krueger built."
Never seen a critic shoot a movie/film. Yes there is a difference
Very interesting list!
But ROBOTS is good movie though. Lots of fun and forgotten gem of the early '00's.
Actor Richard Todd to part in the D Day landings, helping capture Pegasus bridge, and was in the movie The Longest Day.

During the chariot race in the 1925 film Ben-Hur, up to 150 horses were killed. After dozens of horses died in 1936’s The Charge of the Light Brigade (star Errol Flynn helped raise the issue). A horse was jumped off a cliff by the producers of 1939’s Jesse James. The animal drowned; the horse either broke its spine or panicked. Rumor has it-this help start the SPCA.
The Golden Globes and the Oscars are two different awards ceremonies, please don't conflate the two.

Movie previews/trailers misleading the viewer isn't something that affects me in the slightest. I stopped watching trailers years ago, including "next week..." teasers at the end of tv episodes. I'm the same with books - if I go to the library I will choose books based solely on the title and the author, without reading the synopsis on the back cover. I stopped reading those and watching any preview material for anything after a friend loaned me a book and recommended that I just read it without checking out the synopsis. I did, and was gripped for the entire story. I read the synopsis _after_ finishing the book and, much to my surprise and horror, there was something mentioned in it which actually revealed a massive twist which didn't happen until about 40% into the story. I realised that tv previews and movie trailers can (sometimes) do the same thing, and vowed never to watch any ever again. I understand that this approach won't work for everyone but it does me fine.
I've always found the worse the reviews the better the film!
Great video! Do a video about how many mistakes appear in movies (with 25 examples). Guy wearing black shoes runs around a corner and now they're brown shoes. Liquid level in someones drink goes up and down during the course of a scene. In a stupid movie called "The Last Castle", someone approaches a prison guard tower in a helicopter. Then, he pushes forward on the cyclic pitch stick and the tail swings around and tears up the guardrail. If you push forward like that, you would fly forward and crash into it. If you want to swing the tail around, you would need to do that with your feet. Etc...... (moviemistakes.com is a good resource)
My sister was a makeup artist on a Addams Family movie that starred Tim Curry and Daryl Hanna. She was assigned to Tim Curry. For the first 3 days he was ruthlessly cruel to her and, then she came home and cried which she never showed on set. After that 3 days he was totally cool with her. Sweet and nice. Who knows? Daryl Hanna was always nice and, brought her dog on set. My Sister loves animals so, Ms. Hanna alway brought her dog to see her and, gave my sister a basket of tea with honey sticks. Don’t have any insight, just what she told me.

When I worked at a movie theater, I was told that movie theaters don't profit from actual movies until it's been in theaters for several months. Although while I worked there the second Hunger Games movie was in there for almost 6 months because people kept coming to watch it.
Recently an idea was put into a film, after the script as a whole was rejected, the writer sued and they had to pay her damages. You need a good lawyer whatever job you get into in Hollywood, especially now the world of Hollywood cover ups has been busted.🎥🎞️📽️🎬
7:08 So wait, they apply for and pay for their stars? I know there’s still criteria. Kim Kardashian wanted one, and wanted them to include reality TV in the categories, but was refused.
cool it with the commercials
Back in the day in Hollywood, if an actor or director died. The studios they worked for were called first so they could send people to go and get anything that would be damaging to the studio or the actor themselves.
The S.P.C.A. came into being because of animal cruelty in filming. The actor in the first Tarzan killed the lion because it hurt him!
0:22 Sadly, talent is such a small part of making it in film. Who you know, luck and looks are much bigger factors. I know phenomenal actors who just never got their break.
'Harrison Ford wasn't feeling well.' I'm sure I wouldn't describe dysentery as 'not feeling well'
Once Charlie Chaplin went independent, he had no "morals clause" to impede his pursuit of underaged girls. He avoided controversy (but not gossip) by marrying them. Also, the goats on Catalina island were nicknamed "Charlies" because of their physical endowments. 😉
Al Jolson was not racist, but his performances were racial. You guys do zero research. Al Jolson was a Jewish man who got into acting and performed in Black Face. He did so bringing attention to Black Americans and their art and culture. He was fighting racism. He performed in Black Face as a representation of Black Americans as he could get in because of the Jim Crow/Black Face shows created by the Democrats. Yes, it was Democrats that created the racist Jim Crow and other Black Face Shows. And the Democrats made Jim Crow Laws. If you studied history you would know that. The Jazz Singer is where Asa Yoelson (Al Jolson) brought Black music to the forefront in the nation. If he were racist do you really think Sammy Davis Junior and Jackie Wilson would have had him as an influence?
If the movie theater sold plain/naked popcorn then I wouldn't have to sneak food in.

Mike this is interesting..

My cousin's story was told to us grandchildren as a cautionary tale to not go to Hollywood my grandpa said never go out there with out a good education and a plan b and a exit plan..my cousin and I are not her exact doppelgangers but there's a good enough family resemblance that we probably could have attempted it when we were younger and I'm not being vain or anything please don't misunderstand this but my cousin and I when we were younger probably have some Hollywood executive drooling because of the family resemblance to Miss Linda and the family connection but we're now in our mid 30s and early 40s and I probably look like comedian Vicki barbolack and my cousin looks more like Jackie from Rosanne after three kids and a domestic life lol..but she chose to be a drug and alcohol mentor and counselor and I chose visual arts and autism awareness ( pro autism) I have Asperger's and physical challenges but they don't have me ..but when we were younger we heeded grandpas warning.. because he saw what Hollywood did to his beloved cousin and it's sad Hollywood ruins not just lives but families anyway love your channel and content and please excuse my lack of punctuation my eyesight stinks... Mike feel free to look her up she was once pinned to be the next Elizabeth Taylor or ava Gardner I'm sorry I'm a tiny biased and think she's better than them as far as talent goes and she's just as pretty as her peers but I'm a little particular from a family pov and my granddad's stories about her and how much he loved her but I think you'd get what I mean
