Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3d had an intermission but I don't know if that counts since it's two separate movies even if they are on one ticket.

Any movie over a certain length (I think the maximum is about 2h45m) will have an intermission available, simply because 35mmm theaters with only one projector and no plattersystem would not be able to run the entire length over one assembled reel. Whether the director has a say on when and how the intermission works or it's simply one of convenience, that's a different matter entirely.

 for all the quick responses/info. I did see Grindhouse on its opening weekend, and it completely slipped my mind. The fact that it was split up for audiences outside the US may have clouded my memory, though.

Grindhouse may not quite fit since the "intermission" is part of the entertainment. It's hard to say.

The Godfather originally had an intermission between the restaurant scene and the newspaper montage, but Coppola took it out.

Mouser.. posted:It's from the commentary that he did with John Milius on the Conan the Barbarian DVD. It's hilarious with the way Arnold and John sounds so lecherous when they talking about the women. It's also clear that Arnold was really enjoying himself reminiscing on the film. I personally love commentaries like this. Check out the one that Arnold did with Paul Verhoeven for Total Recall as well. Kurt Russell and John Carpenter did some great ones too, just less sex talk. Is it on the double sided disk version? As that's the one I have. I do also have Total Recall one. Arnold laughing at the three breasted hooker getting shot is a classic. Mr_Zombie posted:Huh, I read that same article and was surprised they didn't seem to approach it from the angle of it being an interesting failure. If I'm remembering it right they even talk about how the villain coming to the real world and being faced with withered hookers didn't jibe with the light hearted approach they took earlier. I always thought that was the point and it worked well in the context of the movie. Sure, it's a little bit smug, but it's a popcorn movie ripping the piss out of popcorn movies. In the 90's. The thing is, I don't think anyone really needed to be told these movies were silly and over the top. And yea, the Villain coming into the real world was by far the best part of the movie. I think if they had concentrated on the fictional characters in the real world, rather than annoying kid telling everyone all the cliches as reverence, and Arnold doing back flips down Mulhulland (I think). Speaking of Grindhouse, is there versions with the missing footage? I thought it was on the Dvd/bluray, but i've scoured the disk and come up with nothing.

Pablo Gigante posted:The extended version of Death Proof has the lap-dance scene, but the extended version of Planet Terror just has a few extra scenes. The "missing reel" was never actually filmed. Are those the stand alone ones or the double feature release? A coworker told me Expendables had 2 stuntmen die on the set. What other films have had people die during the filming? I know about Twilight Zone and the Crow, but i'm sure there have been other deaths caused by accidents with effects and students.

It's not that great, but it's not terrible, it's just got a boring middle that goes on far too long, and they reuse footage of sharks. It's still one of the better 70's Sharksploitation films.

H.B. Halicki, director of the original Gone in 60 Seconds, died when he was crushed by a telephone pole while filming Gone in 60 Seconds 2. The Dark Knight thing wasn't a stuntman but a SFX technician trying to figure out how they'd film a scene with the Batmobile. He was in the camera vehicle when it crashed. Not a film, but Jon-Erik Hexum put a gun loaded with blanks to his head and pulled the trigger while on set for some TV show. The wadding of the blank blew a piece of skull into his brain and killed him. I'm sure there are tons of film-related deaths way back in the early days, when safety regulations weren't so prominent.

A stuntman died on xXx during the filming of the river chase scenes. It's been years since I saw it and listened to the commentary but I think he crashed into a bridge. Fake edit : According to Wikipedia, it was Diesel's stunt double. I'll quote : " in a scene in which he was supposed to rappel down a parasailing line and land on a submarine. When O'Connor failed to rappel down the line fast enough, he hit a bridge at high speed and was killed instantly. His death was caught on film, and director Rob Cohen decided to include the footage of the scene with the final moments edited out — out of respect for the stuntman's final act."

John Wayne and Andy Devine were among the extras in those scenes. Michael Curtiz was an rear end in a top hat. Hundreds of horses died during the making of The Charge of the Light Brigade and he had real arrows shot on the set of The Adventures of Robin Hood.

Didn't a shitload of people have horrible health problems and eventually die after filming Tarkovsky's Stalker? Wikipedia has a quote from the sound designer stating that they were downstream from a half-broken Soviet power plant that was dumping waste into the river.

One of the authors of one of the definitive film textbooks. http://filmstudiesforfree.blogspot.com/ is pretty exceptional but it's a random collection of resources, you can't really read it like a book and it's not got much in the way of organisation.
