    Despite dying a thousand nasty deaths in many different movies and TV shows, Steve Buscemi ironically survives in Reservoir Dogs and Con Air.

    I thought the consensus was that mr. Pink dies in a police shoot-out off camera?

    The first project (movies + TV) Marie Vinck did not appear topless in was directed by her mother (Smoorverliefd). The irony being that the other female leads in that movie all did have nude scenes.

    I thought so the first time I watched it but I seem to remember Tarantino having said Mr Pink actually survived the shoot-out and was later arrested. It was probably in the IMDB trivia, or some fan board.

    Keeping on the necrophiliac side, two of Bruce Willis' on-screen deaths were at the hands of his off-screen wife (Demi Moore in Mortal Thoughts) and off-screen ex-wife (Demi Moore in Charlie's Angels: full throttle)

    In the Matrix trilogy, there are many references to "101". But there is one reference in Matrix Reloaded you wouldn't get unless you live south of San Francisco. This sign:

    came from the 101 freeway where it goes through San Carlos, half way between San Francisco and San Jose.

    All these references to BTTF and no one mentions that I bumped a nearly 9 year old thread? :cool:

    This is pretty much the shorthand version of the battles between Trey Parker and Matt Stone and the MPAA except those two would make things worse when the MPAA complained so the original seemed tame.

    Similarly, all of Flavor Flav's clocks are stuck on 4:30.

    They make a similar little in-joke in the video game "Bioshock: Infinite", where a movie theater in an alternate universe is shown to screen "Return of the Jedi" in its original title "Revenge of the Jedi".

    In French because the movie theater is in Paris.

    Before I realized this was an instance of thread bumping, I briefly thought Gringo was back. :(

    I didn't realize that Crispin Glover wasn't in Back to the Future II until recently.

    Yes. Yes, you should. It's available (in the US, anyway) on Amazon Prime and, I believe, Netflix.

    Maureen McCormick ("Marcia Brady") could've been in Raiders of the Lost Ark? :confused:
