A nice guy like OJ wasn't believable enough as a killer. Oh the irony

"his little heart grew 3 sizes that day" fucking killed me lmao

Lmao, he "didn't believe such a nice guy wud be believable as a killer". Well I guess his jury thought that too, how wrong they were.

I don't know why, but the Kurt Russel one made me laugh. All I can think about is Walt just laying in bed dying à la Citizen Cane, and just mutters "Kurt Russle" and dies.

I think the Disney one is pretty easy to explain. Russell was a popular child star at the time and was under contract with Disney, Walt was probably putting together a list of actors for some kind of upcoming role or something and died whilst doing it. That's pure speculation on my part, but Walt Disney writing down the name of one of his talents isn't really all that far fetched.

"Kurt Russell" was the name of Disney's sled.

The Charlie Chaplin contest fact always makes me chuckle! Robert Downey Jr. was always great casting for the film in my eyes.

The Disney Kurt Russel one is -he's going to be Starlord's Dad in GOTG 2 😉

Please be Adam Please be Adam Please be Adam Yes!

Actually OJ had the part and Arnold had the part as Reese cause they figured Reese had to be a big battle hardened soldier to take on the terminator. But Arnold was fascinated with the terminator role because of West World (he was a fan of the androids in the movie). So while having dinner with James Cameron he kept giving his opinions and observations about the terminator character. Eventually James Cameron just told him why don’t you just play the terminator because he obviously knew what it would take for the character.

Am I the only one who prays that we'll hear Adam's voice every time we watch a WhatCulter video?

Yeah, nice vid. I love the thing about "Lucas always had the Trilogy/ Prequels mapped out" being debunked. To expand on what Adam says: On the Death Star, Vader "senses a presence...". Really. That's his old master, his TWO kids, and his old droids, ONE OF WHICH HE MADE HIMSELF running around. He should be having a f**king seizure. xD

maybe Disney had a sled named Kurt Russell as a child.

Adam doing a Whatculture.com video?? What year is this

Lance Hendrickson was in line to play The Terminator also.

Excellent - informative, entertaining, interesting and not a word wasted in 10 items in just 7 and a bit minutes. So, well researched, well paced and well delivered. Superb!

"He came in third, pissing third!" aha!

The most interesting part about the Vader story isn't mentioned here. The fact that not even the cast knew about the paternal revelation until the premiere. During the shooting of the iconic scene, David Prowse said the line "Obi Wan killed your father". The only people who knew about the change were Lucas, the Foley editor, and James Earl Jones. There is even an interview of Mark Hamill discussing his shock at seeing the change when he watched the film.

They rejected O.J. Simpson as the Terminator because they didn't believe he looked like a killer!

Always wondered which part Cruise played in Young Guns. Thanks!

"Third, pissing third!" I died at that one!

"He didn't believe such a nice guy could be a killer" Hehehe hahaha HAHAHAHAHA *HAHAHAHAHAHAHA*

Every time Lucas gets knocked down a peg I get a little happier.

My partner told me that in the scene with Luke and Vader the lines were different. The actor playing Vader's line was "I killed your father." Whereas the voice over script was "I am your father." When put like that his reaction makes more sense.

Well Kurt Russell did start off working for Disney as a child actor. John Carpenter has confirmed that as a child, Kurt got his start and training with Disney. So there's a connection right there. But why Walt Disney himself would write down Kurt's name right before he passed away is still strange.

In Universe, its after Vader's interaction with Luke in the Death Star battle that he realises this guy is his son because he senses how strong the force is with Luke. So Lucas had a ready made way to retcon Luke's father and claim it was always the case.

Glenn Close as a pirate in Hook.

Walt Disney probably had a sled named Kurt Russell as a child, when he was young and innocent

Speaking of Poltergeist, Tobe Hooper revealed shortly before his death that Spielberg actually directed the film. Hooper was asked to be pose as the movie 's director because Spielberg was worried it'd somehow tarnish the upcoming release of his movie that year: E. T.

Lucas lied about so many things with Star Wars. I never liked that he claimed he had the whole thing mapped out from the start. Such BS. Had he admitted the truth back in the day, he likely wouldn't be seen as such a dbag today.

unskippable 3.50m ray-ban ad... goddamnit youtube.

What I heard was that George kept the whole Vader being Luke's dad thing a secret all the way up until James Earl Jones did the voice over. They even had the actor in the Vader suit tell Hamel a different line during their scene together. Channels like this need to site their sources more.

Very informative! Thanks!

Umm.... hmm.... ermmm.... is it going to be too nerdy of me to say that the line ought to be "bantha poodoo" instead of "bantha fodder"? Yeah, it is. Okay never mind.

Lance Henriksen also was considered for the part of the Terminator. Kind of amusing in a way considering he played anther cybernetic character in another Cameron movie, Aliens as Bishop.

when I was a kid I was told that George Reeves, the original Superman on tv in the 50s, had committed suicide by jumping out of the top floor of a skyscraper with his Superman costume on as if he could really fly. I later learned that he had died in his bathtub under mysterious circumstances that may or may not have been suicide but far from "flying." There was also the rumor that Jodie from Family Affair died in Vietnam (he was a 12 when the war ended in 1973) but his tv sister Buffy did die tragically of a drug overdose in 1976 at age 18.

"What did Obi Wan tell you of your father?" "He told me enough. He told me you killed him." The original line that was spoken on set by David Prowse was "No, Obi Wan Killed your father!" Luke's subsequent overreaction was in response to this line which makes it a bit more palatable. When the line was replaced by Lucas in post production "No, I am your father" for the script James Earl Jones read to redub Darth Vader, Hamil's performance seems a bit out of place. He responds with laughable anguish and despair, instead of stunned silence. No one outside of Lucas and Jones knew of the rewrite until they saw it at the premier.

I think your voice releases serotonin the peoples brains Adam💗

Darth Vader not from the start Luke's father, eh? Ironically "Vader" is the Dutch word for "Father" and some people claim Lucas actually knew that giving a secret hint this way. Of course, in Dutch the word "Vader" pronounced completely different from the character's name (and that's why nobody in the Netherlands gets confused about this). Leia kissing Luke was always seen as the "solid evidence" the brother-sister relation was brought up later, though in Leia's defense I must say Leia wasn't aware of the blood ties at the time, plus neither Luke nor Leia were trained far enough in the usage of the Force to accurately tell. Darth Vader on the other hand should have been able to detect from the start when he was facing Leia already at the start of the very first movie, that she was his daughter, but he actually finds out at the end of "Return of the Jedi". Luke's case may have been a bit harder as in the space battle it may have been harder to truly pinpoint him, but Leia at the start of the film was standing right before his face, and he could even touch her (I need to watch the movie again to see if he actually did).

Oh Adam...lmfao Re: Charlie Chapman "but still...pissing third!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I liked the story about Chaplin coming in 3rd in his own look alike contest the best.

Your channel is great! Great is better than decent

Oh god the Stallone one had me cracking up lol I can't unsee that now either

JESUS CHRIST, ITS ADAM FROM WHAT CULTURE FOR 3 VIDEOS IN A ROW!!!!!!!

The OJ part at the beginning made me laugh XD

Maybe Disney was trying to tell us who to cast as starlords dad

I'm certain Luke's father was supposed to be Ben Kenobi. That's why the "fake" script David Prowse was given had that as the big reveal, it wasn't fake originally, I'm sure. Even further supported by the Jedi novelization having Ben's ghost say that Uncle Owen was his brother.

also Lance Henrikson was gunning for the role of the T-1000 and a lot of the cast were impressed by his impression but ultimately lost to Arnold, but he ended up using it in the film "Aliens" as Bishop!

Regarding the last one. Anakien Skywalker never knew the name of his child or that there was a twin sister. Also, Jedi seem to be able to hide their ID when they haven't learned the ways of the force in the same way the Sith can hide their ID on purpose.

Imagine if they made a film with all the lead actors being people nobody’s ever heard of, but all the extras and throwaway characters are actually big names. Just sit back and watch the audience’s heads explode when the credits roll and it’s Morgan Freeman, Tom Cruise, etc and nobody had noticed.

Holy shit, you just made me consider how crazy The Joker would be if he was played by Tom Cruise! JEEEZUS! If things don't work out with Leto they could fall back on Tommy and just dress him in a purple suit and tell him to talk about Katie Holmes for 2 hours and cut the footage in with Ben Affleck running for his life. Solid gold.

Yeah...saw that Sly Stallone movie in 1986...very hard to forget.

great video, very well done

One problem with the Darth Vader story. It wasn't in the final script because Lucas kept it a secret and had Darth Vader state that Obi Wan killed Luke's father on set. It was corrected when James Earl Jones did the voiceover. But in 1978 Dave Prowse gave an interview in a fanzine titled Little Shop of Horrors in which he casually mentioned that Darth Vader was Luke's father two years before Empire came out, so that had long been planned.

Disney was prolly sayin Bring me the lifeforce of a young vibrant Kurt Russell !Im dyin here!

Loved the young guns Tom cruise one. Jon bon Jovi has a similar cameo in young guns 2

I have the same reaction golfers have when they sink a long putt when I hear Blampied's voice at the beginning of these videos!

That first Chapman one reminded me of the story I heard about Dolly Parton went to a Dolly look alike contest and lost to a drag queen.

i like the story of the director of the 90s version of island of dr.moreau who was fired than went missing and later sneaked onto set and appears as an extra. that should be included if you make another top 10.

That Kurt Russell/Walt Disney bit... 😅 Oh, I watched Escape from LA; and oh, I do believe what horrors he's capable of. 🤣

"more extras than Ghandi" hahaha

Jon Bon Jovi had a cameo in young guns 2. He was a escaping prisoner who was shot through the heart.

I heard a radio interview a long time ago when Tom Hanks said he had a cameo in Real Genius. Everyone says I'm wrong, but I know what I heard. But the interview never said where he his cameo was. However, I still thinks it's legit. In Real Genius, when Mitch backs-up and bumps into a guy at the party (at the beginning of the movie) that is Tom Hanks. He has the same "afro" he had in the beginning of his career. But wait! Neal Israel wrote both Real Genius and Bachelor Party. He also directed Bachelor Party, starring Tom Hanks and, in this same interview, Hanks said both films were filmed "on the same lot." The director of Real Genius (Martha Coolidge) needed extras for the party scenes and the most of the cast of Bachelor Party just went over to the set.

Adam! Baby! You're back!

1:08 Ohhhhh the irony... it burnssssss...

#3: Remember Bingley is watching you.

Side note: The theme song for The Italian Stallion is amaze-balls

'he didn't think such a nice guy could be a killer" OH THE IRONY

I just about died when they put in the clip of the harry potter tomb about chapman super funny

I saw that porno that Sly was in, back in the 70's. All I can say is, all those movies where he beats the hell out of people SUDDENLY MADE SENSE.

his heart grew three sizes that day just made my freaking Day Hilarious

I thought the myth from the thumbnail was going to be "while filming Saving Mr. Banks, Tom Hanks couldn't stop thinking about the movie Escape from New York".

I think Walt Disney wanted Kurt Russel to have it all... XD

Saw what you did there. Subtle OJ Simpson jab. Lol

They made up for it by having Vader not know his name was Skywalker until he hired Boba Fett to find out

"Pure bantha fodder" now that is pure gold mate. Cheers.

That Sylvester Stallone joke was really good...it made me laugh for like 15 straight minutes.

dolph punched sly so hard people could understand him at the end of the movie

Who's the most underrated actor in the world? Dolph Lundgren. I can't wait until Mac and Charlie finally get Crime Stinks: The Smell of Penetration made with Dolph in it! It'll be awesome!

I didn't know about Tom in YG. I know that Bon Jovi was in YG2; which I've had plenty of people disagree with me about. It seems like anyone who knows Emilio and visits him while he's on location, they will get a small role in the film.

You could have helped debunk the whole frozen head of Walt Disney thing further by quickly adding that he was cremated (which I've always found ironic because he died from lung cancer) and his ashes are in a private mausoleum at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles.

In the film Crimson Tide the head of the review board that Gene Hackman and Denzil Washington's characters appeared before was none other than Ed O'Neill of Al Bundy fame. But he was cut after test audiences laughed when he appeared in screen having just became a hit on Maried with Children that came out shortly before the film was released.

If you’ve ever seen escape from LA you know what horrors he is capable of

That alarm scared the f@#k out of me

Final myth: It wasn't in the original script because they were trying to hide it. George Lucas's original material before New Hope's script was made, is FULL of differences from the movies, Han being an alien, Luke being Starkiller, just... a mess. But Darth Vader has always been an allusion to the words "Dark Father." You can tell that by the time New Hope was in production that George Lucas intended for this reveal because of the acting direction given to Sir Alec Guinness, and his hesitation before lying to Luke. George Lucas has also, for decades, argued that he imagined Star Wars as a science fiction version of a Soap Opera...hence the familial reveals. Essentially, the idea is that the entire Galaxy is in turmoil due to a family dispute at the heart of it.

You couldn't possibly know for sure there wasn't a time traveler in that B-roll!

Lucas certainly had it in mind that Vader would be Luke's father in 1978, because that's when Dave Prowse revealed it in an interview. Asked if he would be back for a sequel, he replied that yes he would, and he was looking forward to it because the film would reveal that Vader and Skywalker were father and son. Lucas was reportedly furious at the spoiler, and Prowse was henceforth banned from any further publicity appearances. So maybe not such a late addition to the script as all that...

If you look at every other Tobe Hooper movie, Poltergeist stands out as an anomoly. It does resemble an early 80s Spielberg flick.

That whoville line killed me XD

I’ve heard of most of these stories before. Never heard or knew Tom Cruise was in Young Guns.

Interesting as Dave Prowse allegedly ruined the ending to Empire by saying that Darth Vader would be unveiled as Luke's father shortly after the first film came out.

I doubt the record keeping on a remote desert planet like Tatooine is so thorough and exemplary that Luke using his real name would raise any alarms for the empire...

MOAR!!!

When I first came across this video, I saw the picture that came with it. It featured Tom Hanks as Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Banks with a thought bubble featuring Kurt Russell as Snake Pliskin (I might have spelled that wrong). When I first saw that, I thought "Did Walt Disney come up with the idea for Escape From New York"? Sure, the movie came out 15 years after Walt's death, but there is a thing called development hell. But no that wasn't the case.

Great video. I liked the other voice over girls and guys are great but I really enjoyed this snarky new dude. Cheers.

Pausing at 3:29 is something I never need to do again.

do your ver of honest trailers pls

Disney was really Kurt's father....

According to Mark Hammel the original twist for the empire strikes back was to have Darth Vader say “You don’t know the truth Obi-Wan killed your father.” And then have Obi-Wan look like the true villain.

What is wrong with the Internet? You're gonna need a lot more then ten points of reference.
