Oh man, Modern Times is great - the first time I saw that scene I didn't expect to laugh as hard as I did.

For anyone who hasn't seen the film, it's a definite must-see, but here's the food scene in question:

That’s Michael Gothard, who was the bad guy in “For Your Eyes Only” and was John Felton in the 1970s “Three Musketeers” movies.

The lady looks like Kevin Kline in West World drag though.
That’s Graham Armitage, who there’s very little information about, even though he did a lot of film and theater work in the 70s, including another fantastic Ken Russell film: "The Boy Friend".

Chaplin was controlling that machine by the way, and his movements were so violent that his face was heavily bruised after filming.

That still isn’t quite as astonishing as what happened on the set of “The Gold Rush”. There’s a scene where Chaplin and his companion cook and eat their shoes because they’re starving. The shoe leather was actually licorice so the actors could eat it. After a full day of filming just that scene, both actors had insulin shock and had to be hospitalized.

Well, some people would say the dude is a master of stunts. And it seems, at some point, he and his stunt company went all "lol, safety!"




Also, I had a real crappy time trying to find good Jackie Chan gifs. Does this mean I'll have to watch his movies AGAIN to make some? Drat!

HK cinema for a long time did not have the best safety standards, but from what I hear in Police Story the glass was custom-made so that it would be easier to break than standard glass, but doesn't look as fake as sugar glass. Also in Police Story, when Jackie slid down a line of lights? His hands were badly burned and nearly broke some vertibrae when he hit the ground.

All in all, though, Jackie Chan and his stunt crew tended to get badly hurt while filming a lot of movies.

Yeah, I misremembered that. Reading up on it, they did use sugar glass, just extra-thick sugar glass that looked more realistic, at the expense of actually giving their stunt crew cuts.

It's kind of funny how far they went to sell a stunt on a relatively low budget that it's more surprising when they do do the sane thing.

Yeah real glass is waaaay too dangerous for any kind of stunt work. Will gently caress you up something shocking because it likes to shatter into razor shards that also dont "move" out of their frame readily.

I put my hand through a plate glass window once, and I was picking out shards for weeks afterwards.

The stunts in those gifs with real glass would have put the stuntmen in the hospital at the very least. Possibly the morgue with an unlucky cut.

Hey, it's Felix La PuBelle! Benny Urquidez and John Cusack had an awesome fight scene in Grosse Point Blank because Urquidez was Cusack's fight trainer, so they could both go a little harder at each other than if it had been 2 actors.

Hey if you do make one from the last fight scene of Who Am I. At the very end when he and the other guy keep kicking each other in the shins for about 30 seconds. That is probably my favorite Jackie Chan fight scene.

I was just about to ask this. Does anyone have a gif of that fight, where Cusack sidekicks the poo poo out of him? Its around the 1:00 mark.
