"Mola Ram! Prepare to meet Kali... in Hell!" Fun Fact: You can make your own "chilled monkey brains" if you want. All you need is custard and raspberry sauce. Chill and serve. Mola Ram Fact: Amrish Puri shaved his head for the role of Mola Ram. This created such an impression that he kept this look and became one of India's most popular film villains. Lost In Translation Fact: D.R. Nanayakkara, cast as the Indian village Shaman, did not speak a word of English. He delivered his lines phonetically by mimicking Steven Spielberg who was prompting him off-camera. The pauses in his dialogue were therefore not for dramatic effect, but rather waiting for his next line. Location Location Fact: The rope bridge used during the final fight scene was actually suspended a couple of hundred feet across a gorge on location in Sri Lanka. Acrophobic Steven Spielberg would never walk over it, and had to drive a mile and a half to reach the other side. Harrison Ford, on the other hand, had no such fear, and would run across it at full speed. Practical Jokers Fact: While filming the whipping scene, the crew played a practical joke on Harrison Ford. While he was chained to a large stone, Barbra Streisand appeared, dressed in a leather dominatrix outfit. While Streisand chided him for Hanover Street (1979) "the worst movie (she) ever saw" as she whipped him. She continued whipping him for Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) and then Carrie Fisher then threw herself in front of Ford to protect him. This entire sequence was filmed.
1. Many folks don't care for this one very much but I do. It's all kinds of fun. 2. Just a small suspension of belief regarding the lifeboat drop out of the plane, and the coal car landing perfectly on the tracks.🙄 3. IRL Ford could fly that plane. 4. When I was in the US Navy I got to eat monkey (but not monkey brains) and tasted dog in the Philippines. 5, Shortround is "Billy Badass"🤬😎 6. Disneyland already has a "Temple of the Lost Ark" so another one of the ride through the tunnel/mine would be cool too. Assuming you can still afford it.🙄😏 7. The guy that gets crushed is the same actor that played the guy that gets wacked by the propellor in "Raiders of the lost ark". 8. Kate Capshaw got the Willie gig because she was dating and later became Spielberg's wife.
Do you recognize Short Round? Ke Huy Quan - after facing many issues getting cast and essentially disappearing from films - made a triumphant comeback, starring in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
