The Naked Gun | Red pistachios scene permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 11 points 5 months ago (1 child) I know it's common for actors to not really eat when filming a scene in which the character is eating but it almost adds to the joke that we never really see them eating the pistachios. They're just fidgeting with the bags and chewing on nothing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 20 points 5 months ago Warwick Davis (best known for his roles as Wicket the Ewok or Willow) told this story from when he was an extra at the pod race in Star Wars Episode 1. He had an awesome looking cocktail and he made the fatal mistake of taking three large sips in the first take. And of course he had to repeat that action every take. And they had to do many takes. Trouble was (apart from the enormous amount of liquid) that the cocktail tasted absolutely awful. But as a professional he stuck to his role of course. Those takes never made it into the movie. They aren't even available as cut scenes or still photos. permalink fedilink source parent [–] br0da@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago Care to tke dinghy, Frank? No, I took care of that at the press conference. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Scrollone@feddit.it 1 point 5 months ago I've been watching that movie for 20 years and I had never understood what he was eating and why he had red lips. Turns out pistachios used to be dyed in the US. permalink fedilink source parent
