I find it funny that Jesus, dispite being a middle-eastern jew, is always protrayed as a white pothead.

Lucas did actually say in an interview after Episode one that he got frustrated that no one would tell him when he had a bad idea. Everyone was basically bowing down to him, & telling him that everything he did was gold. 'Yes George, it's wonderful George, you can do no wrong George' etc. He said that afterwards he was asking people 'why didn't you tell me that was a bad idea, why didn't you tell me we shouldn't do that, why didn't you give any input?'.

Kate Winslet has said that she can't stand watching Titanic now because of how much better she's gotten at acting since then. I guess that's a good problem to have.

*Complains about being fake crucified* *Gets struck by lightning*

I've heard that Alec Guinness came up with the idea that his character should die halfway through, and be present for the rest only a kind of ghostly adviser, just so he wouldn't have to say any more of those godawful lines.

I feel like cracked is the thinking mans buzzfeed.

"Man, it really sucked to act like I was being crucified. It was like I was being crucified. Oh, shit, I'm a douche."

The famous (and infamous) French Connection chase scene that blew everyone away in 1971 was essentially guerilla filmmaking. The production company didn't go through any red tape to get the proper permits, in fact no one in the film's production company even attempted to get formal permission from the city to shoot it, cuz essentially they knew the answer would be "are you kidding me? no." So they decided to ask for forgiveness later than permission ahead of time. Besides, they knew some of the cops in the area, who had been involved in the case upon which the film was loosely based, so they just shook a few hands and paid for a few beers and that was it. The stunt coordinators didn't rehearse it down to every minute detail like they would today, and the area was not cordoned off. Nobody who lived there was informed ahead of time (except for some local cops). Assistants to the director "cleared traffic" for five blocks in either direction, and they had some off-duty cops help them in an unofficial capacity by controlling the traffic lights in a few places, but if someone tried to do this today it'd be a lawsuit waiting to happen, and half the film crew would probably end up in jail, oh and a few cops would probably lose their badges. And here's the kicker: Gene Hackman himself did most of the driving of his character's vehicle in the chase! Insurance? What's dat?! They had a stunt guy do the really nasty tricky parts, but that's mostly Hackman himself being a badass. All that risk-taking life-threatening craziness for just five minutes of screen time, but it's an amazing five minutes. Sure beats the car chase scene in the Joe Don Baker movie Mitchell which came out a few years later, complete with intense merging into traffic and exciting use of the right turn signal. Or was it the left? I don't recall. It was so breathtaking. I had a cow. Moo.

His name is James (James!) Cameron The bravest pioneer No budget too steep, no sea too deep Who's that? It's him! James Cameron!

Pre-James Earl Jones Vader sounds almost exactly like Rick Moranis in Spaceballs.

This is my favourite show on Cracked. Make it more often!........yer bastards!

Darth Vader's original voice sounds like Tommy Wiseau.

The man who played Jesus complaining about the discomforts of PRETENDING to be crucified? Yeah, I'm not surprised he got zapped by lightning.

In the low budget horror flick "Basket Case", there's a scene where a hotel manager is counting money. That money was literally the entire budget for the film. The entire reason why that scene was shot first was because they had to pay the film license fees to shoot in that area and wouldn't have it later. The speech at the end of "Blade Runner" was entirely improvised. (Tears in the rain) The actor completely forgot his line when the cameras were rolling, assumed it was a garbage take, and just said whatever came to mind. Afterword, the director decided that it was the most profound thing that character could say and decided to not film the actual line. In "Highlander: Endgame", Bruce Payne delivers the line "What's wrong MacLeod? Don't you want to be inside me?" Referring to his energy being absorbed after MacCleod's death. On the first take Adrian Paul, who didn't realize he was in the shot, mouthed "Wow..." and walked out of frame with wide eyes shaking his head. That's all I can remember off the top of my head.

Tom Hanks says when they were filming Saving Private Ryan on the beach the other actors started complaining about being cold and wet. He finally told them that anyone who thought he was having a tougher time then the guys who were there in 1944 could go home

basically every injury any of the actors got during the filming of the lord of the rings, and then Peter Jackson having the three most injured actors run long distances.

OMG the first voice of Darth Vader sounds like Stewie Griffin! I swore I'd never watch the movies again but now I have to! LOL

4:41: "In 1977....where he spends most of his time being mad at how much input other people have." He wasn’t talking about “other people” in general; he was talking about studio executives. While it’s true that Lucas had come to dismiss the idea of considering input by all other people in general by the time he made the prequels, that’s not what he was talking about in 1977. He was talking about businessmen making creative decisions that harmed an auteur’s vision, and back then at least, he was right. He may have gone on to be a hypocrite in this sense, but he was still right, since studio interference that results in poor decisions made from a storytelling point of view is still an ongoing practice in the industry.

One of my favorite stories about behind-the-scenes stories involved Bill Murray learning to be Hunter Thompson for "Where The Buffalo Roam" by pretty much living with the real Hunter Thompson. The two would try to one-up each other with dares, pranks, and stunts that culminated in Thompson tying Murray to a chair & throwing him into a pool while they argued who could "out-Houdini" the other. Murray almost died!

JarJar is the key to all this because he is the ultimate Sith Lord!!!

3:30-5:15, Mr. Plinkett said it first

In the latter episodes of spittake, you can see Jack just slowly morphing into someone who just hates air. Like he looks like "...meh, i fuckin hate humans" but this is my second favorite show on cracked. I LOOOVE the spittake!

If you watch "Platoon" with the directors commentary on you learn about the training the actors received before the filming. During the opening credits there is a night cross country march and the commentator says, "See how scared they look in this scene? They are not acting, they are actually scared. This beat here where this guy slips and falls down this hillside. That was the actor actually slipping and falling down that hillside."

Hi guys love this channel. Thanks for existing

What? I like General Grievous. I though he was the best thing about the prequels. =(

Jeremy Sisto...? Damn, I didn't see that one coming. Weird, I actually like him.

THE SPIT TAKE RETURNS!! THANK THE GODS!!!

Hey, Jim Caviezel is pretty sweet, and super nice. I never knew he got struck by lightning though, dang.

OH FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER SPIT TAKE FOREVER

Complains to God, gets struck by lighting. Reaction from everyone else, priceless.

Honestly didn't think Lucas could get more insane. "Jar Jar is the one thing that will tie this together because he is the funniest character we've created." We? Nuh uh, Lucas, that was all you. Not even a guy on a three day cocaine binge would think that was a good idea.

Wow, Jeremy Sisto looked a lot like Toby Turner there. That kind of threw me off.

jim caviezal is one of the most humble actors to ever play jesus

I guess I'll never know if lucas was an idiot and just got lucky with great people around him or if he just makes very bad decisions, but has overall great stories to tell. Edit: It's been 5 years and I now know the answer. Lucas is a genius.

Jack O'Brien is my favorite thing on Cracked!

Richard Cavizel (Kaveezel, CVZL... fuck it, I'm not looking it up) getting struck by lightning is objectively the funniest fucking thing that has ever happened. Thank you so much. Now I must tell the world.

Food Fight, it had an all star cast with Charlie Sheen, Hilary Duff, Eva Longoria, Wayne Brady, and Chris Lloyd, cost $65 million to make, only brought in $73k at the box office, and took around a decade to release. Why? Industrial espionage. But that didn't stop Lawrence Kasanoff from finishing it.

I think I've watched this video at least five times in the last year and I never realize until the second point that I've already seen it...damn

You know, Michael Bay could make a good Grand Theft Auto game. He could make all the explosions he wants as long as there is a halfway decent story.

did they change youtube again?

Jim Cavizel was also really whipped during the Passion of the Christ shoot.

Can we just talk for a moment about how Jeremy Sisto is 1000x sexier than Leonardo DiCaprio? Even just the voice! I never even contemplated boning Jack Dawson until I saw that clip...

Biggest production nightmare? Othello by Orson Welles. Shooting started in 1949 and wasn't completed until 1951 then finally released in 1952. Welles would also have to take on projects he hated fund production, fire every one, then rehire them a year later to start shooting again. Makes the filming of Apocalypse Now seem like a light romp by comparison.

Not that I would begrudge an actor landing a megahit like Titanic but considering I've mostly seen Jeremy Sisto playing abusive bastards (very well) I'm pretty glad he didn't get Jack.

The guy who played Jesus got struck by lightning twice during the filming of that movie? That is FUCKING funny.

One of my favourites is 'Back to the future' and fluffing Gigawatt with Jigawatt. Now in the Back to the future universe that is scientifically set in film. hehe.

Micheal Baye= "I just want to see the world burn"

God was not pleased with Passion of the Christ

>Crazy stories >Titanic >NOT the incident where someone filled the chowder with acid How

"Struck by lightning on the cross"... Maybe you shouldn't have done that. :P

2:23 that looks like the VSauce3 guy... Jake? i think it is? haha

Why is General Grievous a "Bad idea" ?

Oh, very clever. A prequel/Lucas bashing video disguised as something else. You suckered a view out of me, you magnificent bastards!

Kind of surprised he didnt mention the other incident that occurred on the set of titanic, where a disgruntled employee spiked the seafood chowder being served to cast and crew with PCP and over 80 people ended up hospitalized.

casino: the guy who shot the guy in Puerto Rico, when he's running around the villa, is the one who shot him in real life. the shooter turned states evidence and was working as a consultant on the movie. when Scorsese found out, he had him do the scene

I think the title they were looking for was The Terrifying Truth Of What Happened Behind The Scenes Of Your Favorite Movies!

Not only was Cavieziel struck by lightening, but he also dislocated his shoulder hauling the crucifix. OWCH!

DABLIU TEE EFF???!! I had no idea all that transformers' insanity was not made in pure CGI!!! How come it is even legal? Was it really filmed in 1974 or something? Makes me actually want to watch the movies, or perhaps a compilation of such scenes and making off! That's mind-boggling!

To be fair if you watch the making of the Original Trilogy they said they cast Dave Prowse as Vader for his stature and always intended on casting someone else for the voice.

Jack O'Brian! Bring the background music back! We like it! A lot!

anyone know the michael bay car toss video? where can I find that shit!

Rounding out the top ten baby!! YEA! eat it!! OK, OK calming down now, WHERE'S MY MEDICINE!!!!

Wow, had no idea how truly insane Michael Bay is lol

dude jim caviezel was struck by lightening twice and needed heart surgery, got severe pneumonia, and had his shoulder dislocated. it wasn't just being cold.

I don't think JC was in the wrong to complain about the conditions. He was making a commentary on how difficult even trying to replicate under the BEST conditions possible, how being on the cross and acting that part was not "okay" I think that until I actually saw video of an actual person who had been crucified it still didn't sink in, deep enough, what an awful horribly painful way to die that is. I don't think he was dick wagging.

Re: Lucas. Maybe we're all saying it wrong? I mean that has happened before with how people would pronounce JK Rowling's surname. I think she knows her own name the same way Lucas knows how he originally pronounced THX.

Do we know of any more stories? You left one of the most amazing ones out! Shelly Duvall's experience with Kubrick in The Shining? Alfred Hitchcock has a couple of interesting stories behind him, as well.

Goddamn, it doesn't seem like Lucas any credit at all by this point, but is still allowed to fuck around with the films? So messed up, save us J.J.

G Lucas surrounded himself with YES guys nobody was able to to critique George, he was creator of SW trilogy, without critique from outside works can go very wrong direction.

If you read that last article, you'll notice it was apparently the SECOND time on shoot that the Jesus actor got struck by lightning. Now THAT's some bad luck. (Or maybe don't go to empty places and stick a tall cross up in unpleasant weather.)

There's been a lot written and filmed about what a tempestuous environment the filming for "Blade Runner" was. I'm sure there are more than a few stories from that to share.

DUDE. u're hilarious...or, well, THIS's hilarious. high-larry-us.

I don't think general Grievous was a bad idea, he is an amazing character and he only acted how he did in episode 3 (the coughing) because right as he captured the Chancellor and was about to escape, Mace crushed his chest, and seeing how that was where his organs were, it severely damaged him and weakened him.

I'm pretty sure Lucas never intended to use Prowse's voice for Darth Vader, and even more sure he wouldn't use the on-set recording.

General Grievous is one of the only GOOD things to come out of the prequel trilogies, what the fuck are you talking about. GG is AWESOME.

Killer final line

What actually bugs me about the passion of the christ is that the Roman armor is quite inaccurate to the trained eye and once you notice it you can't unsee it.

This video must have been made before the Reddit Post about Jar Jar, because *mind* fucking *blown*.

4:41 actually auteur film theory is true when the director is competent. The crazed artist is very much alive in the world of film. Orson Welles, Stanley Kubrick, actually most great filmmakers fit this ideal. But Lucas never quite realized he wasn't making Citizen Kane.

I was so glad when The Passion was publically called out as crap, as a member of the third camp who didn't like the movie and was ashamed of the fact. I saw that movie with my youth group and w as like "Wow Peter getting into a fight at the garden on Friday is a bit too long and gratuitous for the admonishment by Jesus to feel genuine" and: "Wow this is focusing a LOT on torturing the guy and less on the important pre and post game stuff (Peter denying knowing him, only one disciple staying to watch and Jesus telling him to take care of his mom)." Can we go back to Jesus doing carpentry with his mom and laughing? I liked that. Why is everyone ELSE crying I feel like a heartless jerk."

Nice!

Holy shit a clip from Your Studio and You

An earlier Titanic movie had not the option of adding vapour breath in the cold as cgi. It was filmed in a harbour in the middle of winter. That is method acting.

I feel so horrible for Jim Caviezel now. I had no idea that movie was such an atrocious crime againts humanity.

WTF Bay! That car was fucking flying yo... damn.

LOL he got hit by lightning. If you pause the vid though it says the assistant director was the one directly hit, and had been hit twice before-some people just attract lightning. I saw a documentary on it one, how some people are frankly PRONE to attracting lightning strikes.

It's gunna be great

seeing George lucas instantly makes me think of the south park episode where they remake Indiana jones lol

Where do I find more footage of Michael Bay's crew destroying stuff and hurting people?

You didn't point out how Marlin Brando had weight issues on The Godfather and kept splitting his pants. Maybe the mooning was accidental?

what was the jaws video from? i want to see that.

Struck by lightning while making a Jesus movie? Obviously Odin doesn't approve.

How could you talk about Brando's fuckups and not mention "The Island of Dr. Moreau". He wouldn't read the scripts, right in the middle of a scene, he put an ice bucket on his head, Val Kilmer threw a temper tantrum, etc. See the documentary "Lost Soul"

Oh right. This show.

I read that book with the Jesus guy in it - way better than the movie.

If that last bit isn't divine providence then idk what is

George Lucas also pronounces Gungans differently than in Phantom Menace. Instead of saying *gun*-gan, he says *goon*-gan which is kinda terrible considering what stereotype people think Jar Jar and the Gungans represent.

the reason THX was pronounced the way and not as T.H.X as most know it by today is because he wrote and directed a film called THX-1138 well before Star Wars and Robert Duvall's name in that film was enunciated that way

Spit! Take!

Am I the only one who would give up the Jesus gig after being struck by lightening?
