Indeed.

The 3rd one was on last weekend. His wife totally changed, and his son looked to be in his late teens/early twenties, yet Brendan Fraser didn't look any older than he did in the first one!!

You'd think he'd notice that his wife had changed, wouldn't you? :mrgreen:

I said much the same when it came out. Very odd. Perhaps that's what digging up Mummy's does to your wife! :mrgreen:

It was strange how the son has a lovely English voice and then in Film three turns up with an american one! Most peculiar! :mrgreen:

It's like my very favourite show of all time - A Town Called Eureka.

The continuity is appalling on that.

One character (a woman) has a tattoo on her arm. Then she doesn't. Then it comes back. Astonishing lack of continunity.

And once character says that her babydaddy is an immunologist <?sp>, but he miraculously turns into an epidemiologist <?sp> when the bowling team turn green.

Don't ask!!

I thought they covered that up quite well with the book reading scene early on :laugh:

Didn't see all the movie, just from when they brought the Chinese geezer back to life, then I switched over. Last time I saw the kid, he was about 11!!

Squire Danaher in The Quiet Man:

He'll regret it til his dying day, if ever he lives that long
Some old codger also in the Quiet man when giving directions to John Wayne

Do you see that road over there? Well it'll do you no good for where you want to go
Elwood to Jake

we have half a tank of gas, its dark and we're wearing sunglasses
Fatty to the twins in Twin Town

This glue is for my submarine not for going up your f*****g noses, buy your own glue

it does take place 13 years later.



Woman in Bookstore: [This dialog - in an apparent nod and wink to the change of actress for the character from prior films in "The Mummy" series - accompanies the first appearance of Evelyn O'Connell] Mrs. O'Connell, is it true that the Scarlet O' Kiefe character is based on you?

Evelyn O'Connell: No. I can honestly say she is a completely different person.
[... as the camera reveals her face to show that it is Maria Bello - not Rachel Weisz - playing the role]

Almost posted that myself,absolutely love The Blues Brothers.
Although for accuracy's sake here's the full line... :p
(Preceded by :
"It's 106 miles to Chicago.")

"We've got a full tank of gas,half a pack of cigarettes,it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses."

(Followed by Jake to Elwood :
"Hit it!")

Another very favourite one-liner and scene is this one:
Jake :
"I hate Illinois nazis."

I just love it when the lead nazi sticks out his chest as if nothing will move them and all it takes to change his mind a millisecond later is the sound of Elwood giving it some gas(go Elwood!). :laugh:

Oh well, you know, the Blues Brothers... another of those movies that practically every line could be quoted.

"You swapped the caddy for a microphone!? <pause> OK... I can see that." - Jake

"Are you the police?"
"No Ma'am, were musicians." - Elwood

"You want out of this parking lot?" - Elwood

"Excuse me have you got a miss Piggy?" - shopper

Ray Charles - "Breaks my heart a boy like that going bad"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the action on this piano"

"OK man, well take these axes" - Jake
"And as usual I gotta take an I.O.U." - Ray

Sounds like a conversation me and the sound engineer hubby had many many years ago. :laugh: :laugh: Substitute "Valiant" for "Caddy" and you pretty much have the picture. :rolleyes:

Thing was...... He did an aussie tour with the Blues Brothers Revival Band. :laugh: :laugh: They were invited by Dan Aykroyd to come perform at his club in Canada (I think it was Canada) but I had just got pregnant so he didn't go.

Aust.
A couple from The Big Lebowski;

That rug really tied the room together.

Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes, well, he eats you.

Walter, I love you, but sooner or later you're going to have to face the fact you're a goddamn moron.
