Pobody’s Nerfect
As with the other Movie Marathons, this year’s offered a number of funny out-takes. I will detail some of them here for your enjoyment.
Please be aware that this entry will contain spoilers. Also, due to the content of some of the movies we watch, some of the subsequent videos and words in the following entry may not be suitable for some. You have been warned…
The Movie: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Scene: Butch and Sundance are on a cliff and have run out of options.
Why It Was Cut: This wasn’t really a blooper. Other than Claire crying in the background and Isha turning around while she was snacking, this clip wasn’t bad. The only problem with it was the disjointed ending, as well as the fact that we stopped filming just before Joe said hold me.
Cut due to better line prospect.
The Movie: The Iron Giant
The Scene: Doesn’t exist in the movie. We created a scene where some scientists create a new version.
Why It Was Cut: We filmed the scene but it turns out that the camera wasn’t running until the end. Dave did this last year during our “Raising Arizona” spot, where he didn’t press the button hard enough and ended up recording the parts in between the actual ones (start was stop and stop was start, if you know what I mean). We call this “Davin’ it up”.
Cut due to being cut already.
The Movie: Glengarry Glen Ross
The Scene: Doesn’t really exist in the movie, at least not exactly like this.
Why It Was Cut: This scene was cut because Dave cracked up way too early and the whole scene could have been done better. We ended up doing a re-take in which Dave doesn’t crack up until the end. Disturbingly, in both clips, Dave latches onto the Pacino line about my balls.
Cut due to not enough swearing.
The Movie: Hard Core Logo
The Scene: Doesn’t really exist in the movie, at least not exactly like this.
Why It Was Cut: Joe and I didn’t even realize that this was being filmed, so this is just random banter. The second take was way better anyway.
Cut due to not knowing this was being filmed.
The Movie: Dolemite
The Scene: Entirely made up. We wondered what it would be like if Dolemite went for a job interview.
Why It Was Cut: In the original movie you could see a boom mic hanging down in quite a number of scenes. We wanted to replicate this, but every time Dave looked at the mic he’d lose his shit.
Cut due to Dave losing his shit.
The Movie: Dolemite
The Scene: Entirely made up. We wondered what it would be like if Dolemite went for a job interview.
Why It Was Cut: Dave cracks up due to the name I made up for the organization who is interviewing him: Neil Bobs Spitz and Swallows.
Cut due to Dave losing his shit, again.
The Movie: Dolemite
The Scene: Entirely made up. We wondered what it would be like if Dolemite went for a job interview.
Why It Was Cut: One of the ideas we had was to have the boom mic tap Dave on the head. Here we see what happens when an unstoppable force meets a very movable object.
Cut due to Dave almost dying.
The Movie: Audition
The Scene: Somewhat made up. Isha plays the evil woman who does bad things. She’s going to go to town on the poor man in the sack, beating him with a big plastic thing.
Why It Was Cut: Dave indicated that he would cover his head for the first hit and then flip over so Isha could hit him harder. Isha misinterpreted the instructions and started waiting for Dave to turn over with his butt in the air. I couldn’t keep it together.
Cut due to camera operator FAIL.
