Looper The purple lightsaber has a second meaning that's why he was allowed to use that color.Jedi that use a purple lightsaber also tend to use a darkside fighting style called Vapaad;which allows a user to absorb Force Lightning into their lightsaber and use Force Rage without falling to the darkside.That's why he almost killed Palpateen.He was looping Palpateen's Force Lightning into his purple lightsaber.
What about when Jamie Foxx demanded that the ending for Law Abiding Citizen be changed because he didn’t want his character Nick Rice to lose. I really liked the movie a lot, but I hated the ending. Because with all planning that Gerard Butler’s character Clyde Shelton did over the 10 years he would have never made all the mistakes he did at the end. Clyde Shelton would have completed his end goal and killed off those who were corrupt. Wish they filmed an alternate ending. Or they could have had Clyde Shelton complete all his goals, but still have Nick Rice kill him. I probably would have liked that ending a bit more.
Edward norton in the incredible hulk should've made the list. Iirc he had very big demands on the script changes that eventually troubled the movie production and affected the final product
Samuel L Jacksons hairstyle in Pulp Fiction was a great accident, I think an afro would have worked but I think what they settled on perfectly fits his personality in the film. Samuel knows his shit.
Samuel knows his black * Tarantino loves to exaggerate his characters and the contrast of straight flat "white" hair and the outrageous over the top African afro where to make the characters look cartoony almost. Having the afro "toned down" into a jerry curl with a bit of volume made it fit more naturally on him and he liked it, thus Sam L. Jackson knows what looks good on black people's head since he is black lol. He was comfortable with his choice and you should always go with your gut feeling.
Jameslawz I agree. While I love all textures of hair, I don't think going with a style because it's the stark opposite is best. You hit it spot on with cartoony. But it's also hilarious to think someone walked into a wig store, saw that wig and was like "yeah that's an afro." I think overall it was a fitting choice, as I'm not sure someone in his position would go for over the top super noticeable hair.
there really were irish cowboys i had a great great uncle that lived in the "cowboy" era of the west while i dont know if he was a gunslinger he did travel from town to town on different jobs rode a horse and had different types of guns i am told his accent was very strong and he knew a few languages
I think most Westerns made today (granted there aren't that many of them) are not 100% historically accurate, but granted in the 19th century there were a LOT of Irish immigrants fresh off the boat (and some of them knew English as only their SECOND language), I think there were a lot more people in the west sounding like Liam Neeson than you'd think.
Most cowboys were not white. MOST cowboys were Mexicans, freed slaves, Irish, and Native American. I'm aware that last one is surprising yet it is true. There were even known Asian cowboys.
personally i liked liam nielsons acting as the stereotypical villain in thousand ways to die. it had humor the the background of why his accent was strong, but in practice he was just a cold merciless killer, and nielson portrayed it well. it was a nice clash with the otherwise comedic film in my opinion. never going to be a classic, but i liked it as a westernbutnotwestern comedy.
while i think the heals are silly i have seen women who wear heels all the time run in them the damage done by the heels to their leg muscles and feet make it impossible to move quickly in regular shoes
oh yeah with the whole dark side and jedi shit where sith lords such as Darth Raven would use a purple lightsaber to show they where jedi and did not reject the light side of the force completely
Im glad my man sam jackson got into star wars. You know, george lucas wife is also black. She had a vid on youtube with a lecture about her life and what not. It is something everyone should give a listen too. She is very wise, and kinda kooks like Ella English daughter lmao.
So RDJ is responsible for that amazing ending? Good to know. It was one of the most talked about gags. Shrek was perfect. I can't imagine Jules with an afro. The purple lightsaber takes no more time than any other. Liam was getting back at Seth, and it's funny.
Free careless the comedy in marvel doesn't ruin the movie in anyway and actually makes the whole thing better unlike DC who doesn't put in a single joke throughout the entire film. Besides, it's how their characters are portrayed in the comics
@@puffin-onehandedgamer1164 you're wrong that's one way to define characters in busy fight scenes. Every main and secondary character should have idiosyncrasies in a well made film.
Cruise ruined The Mummy, and I'm still so frustrated about it. Yes, Cruise makes good action films but he should have realized he wasn't the draw for the film, the mummy herself was. Idk. It just angers me.
Honestly the original line probably would've worked better for the later movies given how much they pushed Tony Stark having PTSD from his experience. The Shawarma scene conflicts with how haunted he is in the rest of the franchise.
@@hydrolito the girl who played the actual mummy can certainly hold her head up high, her acting was really good and was by far the standout in that movie
Peter Knutsen ridiculous isnt being used as a bad thing, Myers request to re do every scene in Scottish accent instead may have been the perfect call but was ridiculous nonetheless cost them millions to do for a movie they werent sure was gonna be as big of a hit
AlexGW never said it didnt, but to request they completely redo every scene but with a different accent coating millions is ridiculous I dont really see how that can be argued whether or not it paid off doesn't change the fact that's a crazy thing to request
I was expecting all of these to be "Difficult actor makes crazy demands to satisfy their inflated egos." Instead we got "Tom Cruise makes crazy demands to satisfy his inflated ego; everyone else makes brilliant suggestions that ultimately improved the final product."
When I tried to watch original Shrek his voice was ridiculous, Polish dubbing is the best, not mentionig Donkey who won all Shrek movies in Poland - only reason to watch other parts than first.
Wade Trillson oh dont get me wrong I really liked it, too. But he insisted on Valentine (his character) having a lisp. I always found that weird and out of place
i probably could've guessed that lol i thought it was funny. that mixed with his aversion to violence were two things I think made his villain character stand out
Stefan Kovacevic I don't know, I've always thought of Tony as the type who can't take anything seriously, and given he just essentially saved the world (with help of course) I don't think he would experience anything other than a pure relief, which would probably result in some light hearted banter. I thought it was well timed, clever, and improved the overall feel of the scene. Just my opinion.
Well put Coen A. One time after getting through a difficult time at work, one of my colleagues went.."So..shawarma after?" we had a good laugh and an even better time explaining it to our boss and his wife which made them invite us over the next weekend to watch the movie at their place.
SW Ep 8's "humor" fails because it's just plain bad. You can place humour in any scene at any time as long as it fits the caracter and is executed well. Just look at Thor: Ragnarok. Marvel in general has mastered comedic relief in their movies.
"Inexplicably Irish cowboy"? What? There was no shortage of Irishmen in the west, for heaven's sake. Irish companies and regiments fought on both sides during the Civil War. A great many Irishmen worked for the Union Pacific building the Transcontinental Railroad and joined in the gold rushes, and there were even a few famous Irish gunfighters like James Leavy and Johnny Murphy. The Irish were NOT rarities in the west. Do Americans not know their own history?
Americans tend to think that the USA was always full of local Americans since the first English landing, when they are in fact a country of mass immigration from a wide variety of places, and that these people didn't magically transform into locals when setting their first step into the country. The roughly unified perception of white Americans as a single over-arching cultural group is a fairly recent occurrence and has taken generations of 'melting pot' effect (not to mention the relative size of new immigrants being much smaller as the total American population has grown and immigration has been restricted).
I know this post is 8 months old. I hear ya brother. I lived in the US for 2 years. 1. As an Irish Catholic, I was always blown away how many Americans came to St. Paddy's Day parades. The vast majority of Americans, of Irish decent, are in fact Protestant. Catholics didn't come until much later, and invariably stayed on the East Coast. 2. So totally confused for the longest time of what "Scotch-Irish" was. Until it dawn on me: Ulster Scot ! 3. The vast majority of Irish who came to America were the Ulster Scots. They hit land, and then travelled deep into the American Interior. They were the pathfinders, pioneers, and preachers that stretched America Westward and South. Sam Houston, left what was then Missouri, to what is how Texas ( Mexican Territory ) well before 1842. Who can forget the Hatfields and the McCoy's. 4. Look at the Generals on both sides of the Civil War who had Ulster Scot descent: Grant, Lee, Jackson, Thomas, Cleburne, Meade, Stuart, Sheridan. 5. How many Irishmen went to Mexico to fight for the Mexicans against Spain! Anthony Quinn ( Actor ) anyone. It's totally nuts !
@@canadiannavigator3346 I was scratching my head over his comment, too. Do they think the Irish never had a reason to leave Ireland? If so they haven't read up much on their history. Not to mention that it appears that Liam Neeson was playing a gunslinger (correct me if I'm wrong since I never saw the film). Even if he's a cowboy, it's a fact that they took all kinds among cowboys. That was one of the first equal kinds of jobs a freed slave could get back in the day. They didn't care what you looked like if you did the job right. So given the prejudice against them at the time, I could see the Irish choosing that line of work for similar reasons.
No, a lot do not. Most people don't know that the original slaves of America were Irish. They don't know that the massive animosity between the colonists were between the original Irish slaves/settlers vs the ever hated British. Americans think Americans created America. They don't understand that former Irish slaves were the backbone of the rebel forces.
So,Samuel L Jackson rolling with an accident that happened on set with the wig is him making"Ridiculous demands that forced movie details to change"????Do you even watch your own episodes? Apart from like 2 of these,all the rest are rather polite corrections that eventually helped the movie.
Did you miss the "for better or for worse" line at the beginning of this video? And yes, technically from a glance an actor insisting that he be able to use a different piece of costume from what the director wants can be seen as kind of ridiculous. But overall it did make the movie "better", no?
Awkward Silence - did you miss the title? The next line after the one you quoted repeats that these demands were ridiculous. So again, how is SLJ rolling with an accident "ridiculous"?
If only he had some control over Captain Marvel. That was a terrible movie and while his acting was fine, the movie was complete shit and even some of his parts were shit (like his eye). They literally ruined the MCU with that movie. The problem was, "there wasn't enough feminism in the MCU". They literally said that they made the movie to make the MCU more feminist.
They did say that the changes were for "better or worse" at the beginning of the video. And these changes can technically be considered ridiculous in the absurd sense of the definition, though not by any extremes certainly.
You're right. Not only it isn't ridiculous, it was one of the best moments in the film. And it wasn't even Downey's demand to shoot that after credits scene, it was the director's! The way these guys present it is like he was an eccentric actor that pressed for something that didn't work.
Everyone always gives ex-druggie RDJ a pass. He walks around arrogantly and smugly and delivers his lines in a smartass tone in most of his films. He wore "blackface" in "Tropic Thunder" and yet didn't cop heat for it, whereas any other actor would have lost their job in the ensuing backlash. Marvel had better hope and pray that Downey jr doesn't fall off the wagon. I would like to see one film moment where he convincing doesn't act like a know-it-all. I bet all his defenders and enablers will now post against my comment.
Mike Myers quite possibly could have saved Shrek with his request. The movie is amazing, but it isn't cute and approachable like other animated movies that were huge hits. It could have slipped through the cracks so easily without Shrek's iconic voice. Best 5 million ever spent in film.
i like the spanish voices far better for shrek. it's almost like the movie was originally made in spanish, and then someone made a crappy english translation like they do with anime. and yes i'm fully aware the original language of the shrek movies is english.....but it's so much better in spanish....
So Bubo was reduced to a Cameo because Sam was not thinking about the fans... sounds legit. Bubo was a major part of the original.. actors are dumb sometimes.
@@josephhodges9819 Not that it's worth much as I am a lone internet stranger, but you can hear some of Chris Farley's work on the movie if you look it up. I love Chris Farley's acting typically, but the standard American accent just didn't fit the tone right imo. Of course that's easy to say knowing how Myers' Shrek turned out, but I still couldn't enjoy Farley's Shrek because he didn't sound like he fit the character even when I was actively picturing him as just an ogre that wasn't Shrek. Just wanted to put my two cents in... and that doesn't even take into consideration that Myers' Shrek not being Scottish would still be very different from Farley's.
I've always watched Shrek dubbed because that's how I watched it as a child and I just found out he's got a Scottish accent because of this video. In both the (European) Spanish and (European) Portuguese he's got a normal standard accent. What a missed opportunity.
I remember back in 2012, senior in high school, the *one* and *only* thing that people would reference was “Shawarma”. I thought Shawarma would become a new trend, although I guess we started the gluten-free trend a couple years later instead lmao
@@AdanRayner The other name sounded like a goddamn Documentary about a certain plane while Snakes on a Plane straight up tells us that shit is about to go down. The name is much more memorable too
I don't know, RDJ just improvised a line about schwarma. It was Whedon's decision to film an extra scene for it. And Samuel Jackson (by the sound of it) just asked Lucas if he could have a purple lightsaber. Not like either of them twisted the directors' arms or something
What was so ridiculous about Samuel L. Jackson's demands and why did you decide to highlight him three times? There have been far more egregious examples of stars throwing their weight around. Liz Taylor could easily fill and entire list on her own.
I really loved what they did in Avengers. It really would have been lame if he only said “what’s next?”. The rambling was way more fitting the Tony Stark character.
Liam Neeson's Irish accent in A Million Ways To Die in The West is very easy and realistic to explain. Cowboys and Homesteads were Irish and German immigrants, who were given land in the middle of nowhere with the condition that they work on it and settle. In the wild west there were people with many accents, many German and Irish first generation immigrants.
Maria C I wish they'd just make a mummy movie like the original 30's/40's films when they were horrors, before being turned into an action, adventure comedy in the 90's.
How can you call Snakes on a Plane a bad movie? Next you’ll be going after Sharknado, or Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus. Or even, God forbid, that one time the guy from Friday 13th was killing people in space.
ikr a ton of irish immigrants at that time, before and after too. Even if you didn't know, it would make sense that some would have gone west. As others have pointed out, the McFlys fit in well enough in the old west. A cursory glance at any list of notable people from that era will reveal plenty of irish names. Billy the Kid was born Henry McCarty. I don't think any accent would have been out of place in the old west, people coming in from all over.
This. "Between 1820 and 1860, the Irish constituted over one third of all immigrants to the United States. In the 1840s, they comprised nearly half of all immigrants to this nation." The Irish (and Chinese) built the railroads. There were a ton of Irish in the West.
Tom Cruise controlling movies for his own well-being instead of what is best for the film is one of the reasons I don't go watch films that feature him.
I still remember how much i laughed when i saw Howard running from a dinosaur with heels. Like if anyhting I'd imagine she'd be the one asking to not do that, no idea it was the either way round
I always said " the title of the movie would make people compare it to the original." Then "Wrath of the titans" came out and changing that one word gave everybody a fresh look at the dou of movies, because it was pretty good. IMO.
Best part of the OG Clash of the Titans was the owl, so of course some egotistical actor I've never heard of was threatened by it. The should have kept the owl and recast the lead.
Yeah, probably very few "cowboys" or any other wild west characters actually had the modern Texas accents or standard American accent that dominate the movies of the golden age of the Western.
What In Tarnation probably because the word means shit in this day and age. America used to be a melting pot. People moved here and brought the best of their cultures, now they come here and wall themselves off from the rest of America by keeping their language and bringing the worst of their culture.
Irish accents were not totally uncommon in the Wild West, as it faced a lot of Irish immigration during the Gold Rush period. In other words, the Family Guy/Million Ways To Die In The West joke doesn't really make all that much sense.
Every day, for 15 years, I saw women who would wear sneakers on the train and dash to the office and change into formal footwear in the elevator up. Having never worn heels, at first, I wondered how bad could heels be. Then on the mad rush to make the train, every day, I saw women who would break their heels or trip them/get them caught in the expansion cracks or subway grates or on the anti-slip treads on the stairs. No way BDH would outrun a carnivore dino!
@@victorpradha9946 the point of it is not outrunning the dino (cuz that is impossible even without heels) but the fact that she RAN that fast WITH HEELS is amazing
Good episode. Dallas demanding to wear the high heels in Jurassic World showed she truly understood her character. Its kind of funny to watch, but its the same stubbornness that makes you believe her actions in the movie.
Field Marshal Observant - what you say is true; you have earned your baton! I also find that idiotic things like outrunning a T-Rex in high heels immediately take me out of the film and back to reality; I am then less engaged. the tension is lost. However she is very sexy and probably deserved a more interesting actor than Chris Platt to play opposite (as do the audience). He really is a plank of wood; I cannot believe he is being brought back!!! I also cannot believe I am writing comments on You Tube when I should be working!!!
This is the only Jurassic park movie I haven't seen entirely yet. I don't see how people can get caught up with the high heels bit when the whole movie is bad.
This title is so misleading tbh It should be something along the lines of "Amusing changes to films that actors, especially Samuel L. Jackson, demanded"
You know, most actual cowboys probably would have been immigrants or the first generation children of immigrants. It’s probably not that ridiculous to imagine a lot of them really did have accents based on their original homelands.
PassiveSmoking And, to refer to The Witch, English settlers in the States would not have outright dropped their accents. The British tone would have flattened out over time to reflect "American" English.
Elle, actually researchers say that the American English was actually the original English accent and the new British one came during the Aristocratic era in England. Look it up on Google.
VenusLove What sort of reseasrchers are those?British english are reflecting their germanic origins,hence the posh.If you hear English from the north-east and Germans you can see similarities in pronunciation.Also,old english is even more related to germanic languages and all the variants of the family have posh.
No... it was a B-movie anyway. Changing the name would have been ridiculously stupid, and no one would ever even remember the name, at least people go Oh yeah that movie sucked haha... instead of what's that?
David Therwhanger yeah it was immediately a bad decision unless he played against type. Wasn't he a vampire once? In interview with the vampire. Dudes gotten dumber. Like he's forgotten how to be an actor
Yep, thought the same thing. If anything, most people in the wild west would've had English, Scottish and Irish accents, thanks to still being fairly closely tied to their origin countries
I don’t see what’s so unbelievable about an Irish cowboy, seeing as the majority of Americans living in the US at the time were of Irish and Anglo Saxon decent
You forgot the other 2 big ones, German (or dutch as they called all Germanic speaking people back then), and African. Lots of Freedmen in the west, and the Pennsylvania Dutch still spoke a dialect of German until WW2.
Now you just need a nice sturdy pair it depends a great deal on how the heel itself is angled. I have friends who can flat-out Sprint regardless of the Terrain in a pair and even go as far as the practice karate in them. If you watch videos of people professional runners they are taught to run on the balls of their feet wearing heels that forces you on them
Nah. I've worn high heels deep in the woods and in less-than-ideal terrain many a time. It's not as hard or uncomfortable as people make it out to be, as long as you know your shit.
But have any of you worn heels while running for your life? Especially from a big ass T-Rex? There's a reason why people in horror movies trip over their own feet, especially if they wear heels.
No. Just no. In the settlement period of the American west, most every white cowboy actually started out east. As families moved west, the accents would slowly change as the conglomeration of people became more diverse. But accents die slowly in generations, since you listen to, and learn to talk from, your parents in your formative years. You pronounce words like they do. And there were a LOT of Irish immigrants in that era. It's not ridiculous to assume that poor immigrants would jump at the opportunity to by land for incredibly cheap, as advertised by the government as an incentive for people to move west. tl;dr Irish cowboy isn't far-fetched, and the "western" accent wasn't even a thing until the era of the cowboy had already faded.
Yes because that's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Let me know when you get placed in a dire situation where the lives of you and your family members are on the line and you decide to traipse around a raptor infested jungle in HIGH HEELS. *Let me knowwww*
Dale Henderson you act like people can only be fans of one or the other lol. I’m generally a much bigger DC comics fan than Marvel but I think that Marvel has made better movies overall. But I still like a good amount of DC flicks too. Try not to look for problems where there aren’t any lol
Anyone can outrun an animal that isn't even running. Just walking. Never understood why even get bothered with someone wearing high heels. I was too busy watching dinos.
No but you can scientifically CAN actually outrun a T-rex in high heels, its been shown that the fasters a woman has ever ran in high heels is faster that how fast a T-rex was expected to be able to run without its bones shattring
lark_stylinson You mean theoretically. Science hasn't proven how fast a T-Rex could run. Also you are basing your assumption that all females in high heels run the same speed. That is almost like saying every man can run 27 mph just because Usain Bolt can. And like the previous posters mentioned, this was a genetically modified dinosaur, not an actual T-Rex. Apparently since earlier iterations of it has been shown to keep up with a jeep then it was stupid showing it being outran by a woman in high heels.
Not to burst your bubble, but TECHNICALLY you can, in fact, outrun a T-Rex (hybrid or otherwise). Because they're all EXTINCT and no longer have any ability to run.
Tom Cruise took over nearly all aspects of making the mummy? No wonder it sucked so bad. Glad i watched it for free online and not wasted money in the theater.
People forget that in the early days of America the American accent had not really become a fully evolved reality yet. An Irish immigrant even a second generation one would speak with an Irish accent. just like Neeson did.
Why would you make this assumption? People had colonized the country over 250 years before the time of the"wild west". An American accent definitely existed by this point. Not to mention the fact there are recorded American voices from, at least, the early 1900s, which is only about 30 or 40 years after the time in question, so your theory really has no support.
No, presterjohn is essentially correct. Immigrants during the early 1800's mainly stayed in their own communities and would speak with pretty heavy accents.Things like the NY accent are a hodgepodge of Irish, Italian, German and English. The Italian and Irish parts of that accent didn't come about until the mid 1800's when we had massive immigration from Italy and Ireland. If you were a second generation Irishmen in the early 1800's, you likely would of had an accent that had more resemblance to a current Irish accent than today's American accent.
No need to argue about whether accents fade or not over time: The film was set in 1882 in the American west The Irish potato famine spured Irish immigration to the US from 1850 well into the 20th century Simples
Ironbuket, you're correct of course, but that wasn't the debate. At least not the way I took it. A claim was made that a distinct American accent didn't exist in the late 1800s. It did. That's a completely separate issue from the accents of newly placed immigrants. There were Americans at this point who could trace their lineage back hundreds of years on the North American continent. That doesn't detract from accents of the freshly placed. Nor do the freshly placed negate that American accent.
There would have been plenty of cowboys with Irish, Italian, German, Spanish, etc accents. There would have been many, many accents before the homogenization of radio/tv. There would have been cowboys with Boston, NY, Southern, etc accents. I think we think that cowboys all sounded a certain way from the golden age of cowboy movies and tv in the 1940s-1960s when most of the actors had California/Midwest accents.
I liked Jurassic World, but that's definitely not the impression I got from professional critics. Feels like only casual moviegoers were the only ones that weren't going to town on it
thats because the title is wrong, BUT the content is fun and interesting. The ideas are actually all good and the snakes on the plane ideas turned the film into a cult film. So god bless Jackson
The owl would have out-acted him and he was scared of being in the Owl's shadow. No seriously Sam Worthington has no acting charisma whatsoever, every movie he has in he has the same stage presence as wallpaper (except less exciting).
in a way, it did ruin his career... I loved the owl, and for a long time i wondered why it was missing. When I found out, i could no longer watch a Sam movie (even avatar recently) without cursing him for forcing out an iconic piece of the movie.... not a SW fan
Most of those changes are actually reasonable and cool improvements (specially the Avengers one), except what Tom did to the Mummy and the High heels from Jurassic World (unless her character was secretly a masochist). The owl one with Sam Worthington, to consider the mechanical owl ridiculous when you are starring in a movie about ancient Greek gods, crazy mythological monsters and fantastical stuff happening left and right every second is really baffling (specially that Sam saw it as an attempt to ruin his career, what!?), it's not like the director wanted to put a mechanical talking owl into a WW2 drama movie or something, wth Sam, a little paranoid here or what!?
What other actors' roles should've made this list?
any british actor in any american movie ever
Looper The purple lightsaber has a second meaning that's why he was allowed to use that color.Jedi that use a purple lightsaber also tend to use a darkside fighting style called Vapaad;which allows a user to absorb Force Lightning into their lightsaber and use Force Rage without falling to the darkside.That's why he almost killed Palpateen.He was looping Palpateen's Force Lightning into his purple lightsaber.

Clyde Shelton would have completed his end goal and killed off those who were corrupt. Wish they filmed an alternate ending.

HeyMonaLisaCanI 67 Yeah that "Soul Glow" was pretty sweet looking. 😎
I think Samuel is pretty fucking smart. It really went well with his character
Samuel knows his black *
Tarantino loves to exaggerate his characters and the contrast of straight flat "white" hair and the outrageous over the top African afro where to make the characters look cartoony almost. Having the afro "toned down" into a jerry curl with a bit of volume made it fit more naturally on him and he liked it, thus Sam L. Jackson knows what looks good on black people's head since he is black lol. He was comfortable with his choice and you should always go with your gut feeling.
I think the purple lightsaber was a good move. His lightsaber is unique and identifiable. Something you want in any character in any movie.
Jameslawz I agree. While I love all textures of hair, I don't think going with a style because it's the stark opposite is best. You hit it spot on with cartoony. But it's also hilarious to think someone walked into a wig store, saw that wig and was like "yeah that's an afro." I think overall it was a fitting choice, as I'm not sure someone in his position would go for over the top super noticeable hair.
I now gained more respect for Samuel L Jackson.
Also Liam has a good sense of humor.
there really were irish cowboys i had a great great uncle that lived in the "cowboy" era of the west while i dont know if he was a gunslinger he did travel from town to town on different jobs rode a horse and had different types of guns i am told his accent was very strong and he knew a few languages
I think most Westerns made today (granted there aren't that many of them) are not 100% historically accurate, but granted in the 19th century there were a LOT of Irish immigrants fresh off the boat (and some of them knew English as only their SECOND language), I think there were a lot more people in the west sounding like Liam Neeson than you'd think.
Exactly Edward! I mean one of the best westerns out there (Lonesome Dove) has two Irish characters.
Most cowboys were not white. MOST cowboys were Mexicans, freed slaves, Irish, and Native American. I'm aware that last one is surprising yet it is true. There were even known Asian cowboys.
There were cowboys from all over. A lot were German, many were Scots-Irish.
Tom Cruise’s was the only “ridiculous” one since it made the movie worse. All these others made it either iconic or better.

@@username4441 oops,sorry.
One of the most talked about gags of that week?
"All because Robert Downey Jr. wanted to spice up his lines." How about "All because Robert Downey Jr. has a brilliant instinct for comedic acting."
Yaaaas!!
I think he meant it as a pun...
A pun how? Shwarma is not known for being spicey.
Too much comedy ruins Marvel movies especially since what most people are calling comedy these days isn't even funny.
Free careless the comedy in marvel doesn't ruin the movie in anyway and actually makes the whole thing better unlike DC who doesn't put in a single joke throughout the entire film. Besides, it's how their characters are portrayed in the comics
RDJ and SLJ's 'demands' were completely reasonable
these demand are completely monkeyfighting reasonable
As much as I like Purple lightsabers, no it wasn't reasonable. He just wanted to stand out.
But purple lightsabers are arguably my favorite part of Star Wars.. So I’m glad he insisted.
Search for sensus fidelium and churchmilitant.
@@puffin-onehandedgamer1164 you're wrong that's one way to define characters in busy fight scenes. Every main and secondary character should have idiosyncrasies in a well made film.
That wig on Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction is perfect. He looks great. Love the Movie.
yeah. right away you know , ok this character is a bad ass.
his "suggestions" were alright to be honest, i hate it when actors demands things that hinder the movie.
what that was a wig? nooo
@@haklovi Childhood ruined?
Yeah. There wasn't much blood when they killed in the apartment. Pop a head and the whole car red.
Cruise ruined The Mummy, and I'm still so frustrated about it. Yes, Cruise makes good action films but he should have realized he wasn't the draw for the film, the mummy herself was. Idk. It just angers me.
Rob Owen movies are life, man. They're everything 😀
Rob Owen damn let people express their feelings
Cruise has been a trash actor for at least the past ten years.
Oh I go out of my way to Pirate any Tom Cruise movie. I'm gonna be entertained by you Tom, but I ain't gonna pay ya for it. Ya freak.
Considering how he treated his ex Katie Holmes, I think it's safe to say Cruise has control issues when it comes to women...
Sam Worthington might have thought a clockwork owl would ruin his career, but his bad acting ruined it anyway.
looooool
His career peeked at Avatar.
He's trying to get more money for the Avatar sequels, but he just doesn't have the star power to demand anything.
he must've slept with someone lol
His career "was" Avatar.
RDJr's demands were not ridiculous, and in fact made the movie better. He was right.
Hank Murphy yeah the swarma line and credit scene are so iconic now.
You're pretty stupid lmao
GNZ GNZ demi does the same with her songs
Honestly the original line probably would've worked better for the later movies given how much they pushed Tony Stark having PTSD from his experience. The Shawarma scene conflicts with how haunted he is in the rest of the franchise.
Not really. tony is known to mask pain with humor, that scene fit perfectly
So basically what I’m understanding is Tom Cruise ruined The Mummy
Compared to the 1999 The Mummy with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, yeah, Tom Cruise ruined The Mummy. It sucked!
There is still quite a bit of action in The Mummy so it wasn't completely ruined.
@@hydrolito the girl who played the actual mummy can certainly hold her head up high, her acting was really good and was by far the standout in that movie

All of Jackson's "demands"? ended up being spot on. Notsomuch for Cruise.

Give the high heels to Tom Cruise, he needs them more.
Spont on!!! LMAO!!! 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scottish accent in Shrek was perfect though lol
Matilda Muller
Yeah. Several other demands ALSO weren’t ridiculous at all. Bad list.
Peter Knutsen ridiculous isnt being used as a bad thing, Myers request to re do every scene in Scottish accent instead may have been the perfect call but was ridiculous nonetheless cost them millions to do for a movie they werent sure was gonna be as big of a hit
When isn't Hollywood a gamble? It paid off.
AlexGW never said it didnt, but to request they completely redo every scene but with a different accent coating millions is ridiculous I dont really see how that can be argued whether or not it paid off doesn't change the fact that's a crazy thing to request
That's one of Mike Myers only showpieces. Basically that and an English accent.
I was expecting all of these to be "Difficult actor makes crazy demands to satisfy their inflated egos." Instead we got "Tom Cruise makes crazy demands to satisfy his inflated ego; everyone else makes brilliant suggestions that ultimately improved the final product."

nope. I disagree. all assholes

I like Myers reason for making Shrek have an accent.
My favorite Irish hero
When I tried to watch original Shrek his voice was ridiculous, Polish dubbing is the best, not mentionig Donkey who won all Shrek movies in Poland - only reason to watch other parts than first.
I think it's far more engaging than Myers own voice. It's fine for Wayne but doesn't really work for this character.
Dyteria Swinson he is Scottish.
I'm confused by it, isn't Farquaad voiced with John Lithgow's transatlantic accent?
Honestly..? I actually AGREE with every single one of *Samuel L Jackson's* demands 😂
Moral of the video: Samuel L Jackson is ALWAYS right when he makes suggestions on his movies. Don't question him.
Wade Trillson didnt quite like his suggestion for Kingsman
i liked kingsman. what suggestion did he have for that movie?
Wade Trillson oh dont get me wrong I really liked it, too. But he insisted on Valentine (his character) having a lisp. I always found that weird and out of place
i probably could've guessed that lol i thought it was funny. that mixed with his aversion to violence were two things I think made his villain character stand out
He was dead right about that jerrycurl.
Samual L Jackson has good instincts
A purple lightsaber makes no goddamn sense.

I don't know, I've always thought of Tony as the type who can't take anything seriously, and given he just essentially saved the world (with help of course) I don't think he would experience anything other than a pure relief, which would probably result in some light hearted banter. I thought it was well timed, clever, and improved the overall feel of the scene. Just my opinion.
Well put Coen A. One time after getting through a difficult time at work, one of my colleagues went.."So..shawarma after?" we had a good laugh and an even better time explaining it to our boss and his wife which made them invite us over the next weekend to watch the movie at their place.
SW Ep 8's "humor" fails because it's just plain bad. You can place humour in any scene at any time as long as it fits the caracter and is executed well. Just look at Thor: Ragnarok. Marvel in general has mastered comedic relief in their movies.
Easily my favorite humorous scene in the whole movie. Genuine, surreal belly laugh.
You can dress up a turd... but it'll always be just that.
"Inexplicably Irish cowboy"? What? There was no shortage of Irishmen in the west, for heaven's sake. Irish companies and regiments fought on both sides during the Civil War. A great many Irishmen worked for the Union Pacific building the Transcontinental Railroad and joined in the gold rushes, and there were even a few famous Irish gunfighters like James Leavy and Johnny Murphy. The Irish were NOT rarities in the west. Do Americans not know their own history?
The Irish literally built the railroads across America
Americans tend to think that the USA was always full of local Americans since the first English landing, when they are in fact a country of mass immigration from a wide variety of places, and that these people didn't magically transform into locals when setting their first step into the country. The roughly unified perception of white Americans as a single over-arching cultural group is a fairly recent occurrence and has taken generations of 'melting pot' effect (not to mention the relative size of new immigrants being much smaller as the total American population has grown and immigration has been restricted).
I know this post is 8 months old. I hear ya brother. I lived in the US for 2 years.
1. As an Irish Catholic, I was always blown away how many Americans came to St. Paddy's Day parades. The vast majority of Americans, of Irish decent, are in fact Protestant. Catholics didn't come until much later, and invariably stayed on the East Coast.
2. So totally confused for the longest time of what "Scotch-Irish" was. Until it dawn on me: Ulster Scot !
3. The vast majority of Irish who came to America were the Ulster Scots. They hit land, and then travelled deep into the American Interior. They were the pathfinders, pioneers, and preachers that stretched America Westward and South. Sam Houston, left what was then Missouri, to what is how Texas ( Mexican Territory ) well before 1842. Who can forget the Hatfields and the McCoy's.
4. Look at the Generals on both sides of the Civil War who had Ulster Scot descent: Grant, Lee, Jackson, Thomas, Cleburne, Meade, Stuart, Sheridan.
5. How many Irishmen went to Mexico to fight for the Mexicans against Spain! Anthony Quinn ( Actor ) anyone.
It's totally nuts !
@@canadiannavigator3346 I was scratching my head over his comment, too. Do they think the Irish never had a reason to leave Ireland? If so they haven't read up much on their history. Not to mention that it appears that Liam Neeson was playing a gunslinger (correct me if I'm wrong since I never saw the film). Even if he's a cowboy, it's a fact that they took all kinds among cowboys. That was one of the first equal kinds of jobs a freed slave could get back in the day. They didn't care what you looked like if you did the job right. So given the prejudice against them at the time, I could see the Irish choosing that line of work for similar reasons.
No, a lot do not. Most people don't know that the original slaves of America were Irish. They don't know that the massive animosity between the colonists were between the original Irish slaves/settlers vs the ever hated British. Americans think Americans created America. They don't understand that former Irish slaves were the backbone of the rebel forces.
So,Samuel L Jackson rolling with an accident that happened on set with the wig is him making"Ridiculous demands that forced movie details to change"????Do you even watch your own episodes?
Apart from like 2 of these,all the rest are rather polite corrections that eventually helped the movie.
Did you miss the "for better or for worse" line at the beginning of this video? And yes, technically from a glance an actor insisting that he be able to use a different piece of costume from what the director wants can be seen as kind of ridiculous. But overall it did make the movie "better", no?
Ya the majority of the changes were better.
Even "polite corrections" could cost a lot of money and time.
Awkward Silence - did you miss the title? The next line after the one you quoted repeats that these demands were ridiculous. So again, how is SLJ rolling with an accident "ridiculous"?
VenusLove if it makes the movie better it’s a win
"I have had it with these monkey-fightin' snakes on this Monday thru Friday plane!!"

hahaha! Came here to say exactly this!
If only he had some control over Captain Marvel. That was a terrible movie and while his acting was fine, the movie was complete shit and even some of his parts were shit (like his eye). They literally ruined the MCU with that movie. The problem was, "there wasn't enough feminism in the MCU". They literally said that they made the movie to make the MCU more feminist.
Console MonsterX The MCU is doing just fine and CM did amazing in the box office so just worry abt yourself pal
Wookiee LivesMatter lol! Do you want to do the math? ;)
@@iParawhoran So by that logic, there's nothing wrong with the Transformers movies.
So basically, Samuel L. Jackson is always right.
Oh,...I thought it was Lawrence Fishburn.
yep the man showed up three times in this list.
I would have imagined George Lucas would have thought a purple lightsaber would be a great idea - more toys to sell!
@star i get it too. ha ha,i saw that interview.
@Clockwork Orange Yea, I can tell how the color of the lightsaber would change the entire movie..
They should have called The Mummy, Mission Impossible: The Paranormal.
Mummy Impossible: The Paranormal Protocol
Mummy Impossible : L. Ron Hubbard Returns.
Most of these weren't all that ridiculous. In fact most of the films benefitted from the changes.
Yep, I am pretty sure there some ridiculous demands... but this list ain't it. 😀🍹🇵🇭
They did say that the changes were for "better or worse" at the beginning of the video. And these changes can technically be considered ridiculous in the absurd sense of the definition, though not by any extremes certainly.
Except for the Sam Worthington one. I complained about the lack of owl for weeks after that movie lol.
I didn't care one bit for the lack of owl in that movie. It did good without it.
yeah, because the mummy remake was a masterpiece. (im being sarcastic)
I don’t see why the Avengers one is ridiculous
You're right. Not only it isn't ridiculous, it was one of the best moments in the film. And it wasn't even Downey's demand to shoot that after credits scene, it was the director's! The way these guys present it is like he was an eccentric actor that pressed for something that didn't work.
None were ridiculous. Mayne Howard insisting on the high heels, but even that fit the character.
If you count the meaning of "ridiculous" as "extremely laughable", they are... But not at it's own expense... It was just... GREAT!
Great scene.
Everyone always gives ex-druggie RDJ a pass. He walks around arrogantly and smugly and delivers his lines in a smartass tone in most of his films. He wore "blackface" in "Tropic Thunder" and yet didn't cop heat for it, whereas any other actor would have lost their job in the ensuing backlash.
Marvel had better hope and pray that Downey jr doesn't fall off the wagon. I would like to see one film moment where he convincing doesn't act like a know-it-all.
I bet all his defenders and enablers will now post against my comment.
Mike Myers quite possibly could have saved Shrek with his request. The movie is amazing, but it isn't cute and approachable like other animated movies that were huge hits. It could have slipped through the cracks so easily without Shrek's iconic voice. Best 5 million ever spent in film.
extra 5 million* There! FTFY ☺️
i like the spanish voices far better for shrek.
it's almost like the movie was originally made in spanish, and then someone made a crappy english translation like they do with anime.
and yes i'm fully aware the original language of the shrek movies is english.....but it's so much better in spanish....
Garrett Widner I think is adorably cute that a grown man watches movies that are made for preschool kiddies. Long live cartoons

Lmfao...that comment was priceless.

Over Bubo! The greatest clockwork owl to ever grace a B movie.
So Bubo was reduced to a Cameo because Sam was not thinking about the fans... sounds legit. Bubo was a major part of the original.. actors are dumb sometimes.
I’m not trying to ruin it, just damage it 🤣🤣
Title is mad misleading. Most of these changes legit helped these movies. Imagine Shrek with Cat In The Hat voice? Ewww...
That is your opinion but not seeing the film before they made changes you cannot accurately say whether it is better or not.
@@josephhodges9819 Not that it's worth much as I am a lone internet stranger, but you can hear some of Chris Farley's work on the movie if you look it up. I love Chris Farley's acting typically, but the standard American accent just didn't fit the tone right imo. Of course that's easy to say knowing how Myers' Shrek turned out, but I still couldn't enjoy Farley's Shrek because he didn't sound like he fit the character even when I was actively picturing him as just an ogre that wasn't Shrek. Just wanted to put my two cents in... and that doesn't even take into consideration that Myers' Shrek not being Scottish would still be very different from Farley's.
I'm not sure you can blanket approve all of them. Cruise's "The Mummy" just didn't live up to Brandon Frasier's.
@@OniJitsu "most of these changes"
I've always watched Shrek dubbed because that's how I watched it as a child and I just found out he's got a Scottish accent because of this video. In both the (European) Spanish and (European) Portuguese he's got a normal standard accent. What a missed opportunity.
"Demands by Samuel L Jackson that improved movies"
- There you go, I fixed the title...
😭
The shawarma line is the reason the MCU wouldn't be what it is without RDJ (out of universe) or Tony Stark (in universe)
I'm not here for movies or notes
I remember back in 2012, senior in high school, the *one* and *only* thing that people would reference was “Shawarma”. I thought Shawarma would become a new trend, although I guess we started the gluten-free trend a couple years later instead lmao
Seems like all Samuel L Jacksons demands were the right call.
At least for this video it was.
Probably why directors go through with his demands
They worked so why not? ☺
Nah 'snakes on a plane ' is a stupid name! He should have let that one slide
@@AdanRayner The other name sounded like a goddamn Documentary about a certain plane while Snakes on a Plane straight up tells us that shit is about to go down. The name is much more memorable too
I don't know, RDJ just improvised a line about schwarma. It was Whedon's decision to film an extra scene for it. And Samuel Jackson (by the sound of it) just asked Lucas if he could have a purple lightsaber. Not like either of them twisted the directors' arms or something
willynilly91 it’s looper. They’re shit. What do you expect?
What was so ridiculous about Samuel L. Jackson's demands and why did you decide to highlight him three times? There have been far more egregious examples of stars throwing their weight around. Liz Taylor could easily fill and entire list on her own.
Liz who?
djhutchison racism
chris hamilton Tinfoil hat
Ingwia Fraujaz humor

At the beginning of the video they said "demands that were for the better or worse" Jackson's demands could all be classified as the former.
I really loved what they did in Avengers. It really would have been lame if he only said “what’s next?”. The rambling was way more fitting the Tony Stark character.
Liam Neeson's Irish accent in A Million Ways To Die in The West is very easy and realistic to explain. Cowboys and Homesteads were Irish and German immigrants, who were given land in the middle of nowhere with the condition that they work on it and settle. In the wild west there were people with many accents, many German and Irish first generation immigrants.
Juanchoja- I Agree, but the film STILL SUCKED.
juanchoja Irish and english, hardly any German people were in America during then.
Everstruggling how many English and Irish were there at the time?
Everstruggling then why did the cowboys speak English, sound Irish and English
Everstruggling if the majority of Americans were German, why do they speak English? Why didn’t they speak german during the late 18 hundreds?
The mummy would’ve been better if the actual mummy had more screen time, not Tom Cruise smh he made the movie less interesting
Wait, wasn't Cruise The Mummy?
Maria C I wish they'd just make a mummy movie like the original 30's/40's films when they were horrors, before being turned into an action, adventure comedy in the 90's.
Ikr, the movie title is The Mummy for a reason. Why studios keep hiring that self inflated POS is beyond me
The whole movie was trash
Probably why it’s 2 years later I’m only just now learning that they made a new ‘The Mummy’. Can’t have been a very well received film.
Sam Jackson saved snakes on a plane
but the movie is bad, and it's raitings low... the only reason why it's known, is becouse of it's stupid tittle..

@@seandabest6353 i call it a bad movie becouse it's a bad movie, realistically speaking.
The other movies u mentioned are not bad, they are TERRIBLE.

There's nothing at all weird about a cowbody with an Irish accent. A lot of Irishmen fled their country to the US during the mid to late 19th century.
@Marie Whitbread why are u calling him stupid when clearly Seth McFarland is the stupid one?
A lot came here as slaves in the 1600's. A lot of them help lay the union pacific railroads.
Um... why the stretch on an Irish man in the west?! Lol Did people study American history at all? There were Irish people in the west! hahahahaha
Moreover, there plenty of Irish in the west, and they made most of the US Cavalry troopers.
Indeed. Irish people with big brogues in the American West are depicted in "Far and Away" and "Back to the Future III"
Thank you! Was going to comment this myself.
@@strangeyoungman Not to mention Lonesome dove. :)
ikr a ton of irish immigrants at that time, before and after too. Even if you didn't know, it would make sense that some would have gone west. As others have pointed out, the McFlys fit in well enough in the old west. A cursory glance at any list of notable people from that era will reveal plenty of irish names. Billy the Kid was born Henry McCarty. I don't think any accent would have been out of place in the old west, people coming in from all over.
What's so inexplicable about a strong Irish accent in the Wild West? Plenty Irish people would've made it out there at that time.
yeah theres actually an irish guy in the gang in RDR2
Indeed, I was thinking the same thing
English Bob ????
Same . Wait That Tom Cruse movie "Far and Away' Plus All the German Amish, and Mennonites French from the end of the Mississippi
This. "Between 1820 and 1860, the Irish constituted over one third of all immigrants to the United States. In the 1840s, they comprised nearly half of all immigrants to this nation." The Irish (and Chinese) built the railroads. There were a ton of Irish in the West.
Tom Cruise controlling movies for his own well-being instead of what is best for the film is one of the reasons I don't go watch films that feature him.
You'll want to stay away from anything involving Will Smith then.
Yep, After Earth for example
Edge of Tomorrow is great imo
aepr84 american made too
Bubby0304 that's why The Mummy was such a flop. He made ît into something that was all about him
I still remember how much i laughed when i saw Howard running from a dinosaur with heels. Like if anyhting I'd imagine she'd be the one asking to not do that, no idea it was the either way round
Real reason: Couldn’t out act a robot owl
Nah, he just realized once everyone saw the owl they would noticed the better LOOKING actor.
Real Reason: I would buy a Bubo action figure, not a Sam Worthington one.
I always said " the title of the movie would make people compare it to the original." Then "Wrath of the titans" came out and changing that one word gave everybody a fresh look at the dou of movies, because it was pretty good. IMO.
Who even is sam worthington i don't think i've ever seen this dude anywhere lol
Best part of the OG Clash of the Titans was the owl, so of course some egotistical actor I've never heard of was threatened by it. The should have kept the owl and recast the lead.
They should never have done a remake of the film to begin with.
So Tom Cruise ruined what could have been an amazing series? Smh
"Inexplicably Irish cowboy?" 75% of the people in the Old West spoke with foreign accents, among the most common: an Irish brogue.
Actually, an Irish Cowboy is not that far fetched as there were Irish people with Irish accents in the Old West for real.
Yeah, probably very few "cowboys" or any other wild west characters actually had the modern Texas accents or standard American accent that dominate the movies of the golden age of the Western.
The 'Old West' was quite (& I hate using this word-->) multicultural. You had ppl from all over the world living & working together.
What In Tarnation probably because the word means shit in this day and age. America used to be a melting pot. People moved here and brought the best of their cultures, now they come here and wall themselves off from the rest of America by keeping their language and bringing the worst of their culture.
It's the same reason everyone believes that pirates wore eyepatches. Someone in Hollywood thought it would be cool, and now it's a trope.
I always liked "cowboys" that didn't sound like the stereotypical California and/or Midwest accent. Not every single "cowboy" lived in California.
Irish accents were not totally uncommon in the Wild West, as it faced a lot of Irish immigration during the Gold Rush period. In other words, the Family Guy/Million Ways To Die In The West joke doesn't really make all that much sense.
Yeah, but try telling Seth Macfarlane that, he knows everything and will tell you you're wrong
The RDJ one isn't even ridiculous, it is just brilliant.
But Bryce Dallas Howard WAS ABLE to run in heels. That itself is super amazing
On the uneven ground of a forest floor every shoe heel would have broken after 100 yards of walking. Let alone running.
Every day, for 15 years, I saw women who would wear sneakers on the train and dash to the office and change into formal footwear in the elevator up. Having never worn heels, at first, I wondered how bad could heels be. Then on the mad rush to make the train, every day, I saw women who would break their heels or trip them/get them caught in the expansion cracks or subway grates or on the anti-slip treads on the stairs. No way BDH would outrun a carnivore dino!
@@victorpradha9946 the point of it is not outrunning the dino (cuz that is impossible even without heels) but the fact that she RAN that fast WITH HEELS is amazing
There were folks with all kinds of accents in the old west. An Irish cowboy isn’t unheard of.
I thought the movie was terrible but Neeson's acting was good and an outlaw with an Irish accent is historically plausible
The joke was that Neeson wouldn't be able to hide his accent, not that Irish cowboys can't exist.
In Clash of the Titans they should have keep Bubo the Owl and dropped Sam Worthington.
Bubo was and will always be a beloved character in the film world. As of this date does anyone know if Sam Worthington still has a film career?
It's bad enough that his delivery is flat, he has absolutely no range and he is terrible at accents; but now I find out he's a diva as well? *smh*
Sam who who?
That would`ve pissed Sam off even more. Well,I would`ve gone with Matt Damon as Perseus,definantly.
But Bubo returned in Wrath of the Titans with a bit more screen time.
Good episode. Dallas demanding to wear the high heels in Jurassic World showed she truly understood her character. Its kind of funny to watch, but its the same stubbornness that makes you believe her actions in the movie.
Her stubborness should have got her killed the moment they got chased by something. It's cute but not really realistic.
Field Marshal Observant - what you say is true; you have earned your baton! I also find that idiotic things like outrunning a T-Rex in high heels immediately take me out of the film and back to reality; I am then less engaged. the tension is lost. However she is very sexy and probably deserved a more interesting actor than Chris Platt to play opposite (as do the audience). He really is a plank of wood; I cannot believe he is being brought back!!! I also cannot believe I am writing comments on You Tube when I should be working!!!
yep, if ya work with dinos try wearing something appropriate or atleast life savin'
Her character didn't work with Dinosaurs. She was a ruthless heartless corporate type. To her it was just a product.
This is the only Jurassic park movie I haven't seen entirely yet. I don't see how people can get caught up with the high heels bit when the whole movie is bad.
"All because RDJ wanted to spice up his lines"
The shawarma line and the shawarma scene is goddamn iconic, why would you say it like that
This title is so misleading tbh
It should be something along the lines of "Amusing changes to films that actors, especially Samuel L. Jackson, demanded"
And hard to read for me apparently. I kept reading "demands" as a verb the first 3 times which turns the whole sentence into gibberish.
prettyfuldancingirl wouldn’t attract much attention now would it
Malthe Vinther dude, sameLOL. that’s the only misleading part about the title for me
Samuel L. Jackson is a national treasure.
THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT
You know, most actual cowboys probably would have been immigrants or the first generation children of immigrants. It’s probably not that ridiculous to imagine a lot of them really did have accents based on their original homelands.
PassiveSmoking And, to refer to The Witch, English settlers in the States would not have outright dropped their accents. The British tone would have flattened out over time to reflect "American" English.
Elle, actually researchers say that the American English was actually the original English accent and the new British one came during the Aristocratic era in England. Look it up on Google.
A lot of cowboys were freed slaves that went West after the Civil War.
Indeed! lol
VenusLove What sort of reseasrchers are those?British english are reflecting their germanic origins,hence the posh.If you hear English from the north-east and Germans you can see similarities in pronunciation.Also,old english is even more related to germanic languages and all the variants of the family have posh.
to be honest Jackson is a legend and his decisions were very well thought out.
purple = small change. no fro = small change. change the ratings on a movie =major change....& it flopped! that was all on him! overrated!!
No... it was a B-movie anyway. Changing the name would have been ridiculously stupid, and no one would ever even remember the name, at least people go Oh yeah that movie sucked haha... instead of what's that?
the mummy was supposed to be a horror movie? no wonder no one went to see it
the RUSH COUNTY picker no shit Sherlock
My uncle went to go see it,I think
the RUSH COUNTY picker , no it was PG-13
The idea that someone, anyone, would have picked Tom Cruise for this movie is what is truly horrifying.
David Therwhanger yeah it was immediately a bad decision unless he played against type. Wasn't he a vampire once? In interview with the vampire. Dudes gotten dumber. Like he's forgotten how to be an actor
1:35 lmao
" I have had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this monday to friday plane." Like wtf lol
There were Irish cowboys. They came from Ireland. What’s so crazy about that?
Murica!!
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. People in the old west came from all over they didn’t all sound like John wayne
Didnt he play in another Western with Pierce Brosnan ?
Yes, Seraphim Falls.
Yep, thought the same thing. If anything, most people in the wild west would've had English, Scottish and Irish accents, thanks to still being fairly closely tied to their origin countries
I don’t see what’s so unbelievable about an Irish cowboy, seeing as the majority of Americans living in the US at the time were of Irish and Anglo Saxon decent
You forgot the other 2 big ones, German (or dutch as they called all Germanic speaking people back then), and African. Lots of Freedmen in the west, and the Pennsylvania Dutch still spoke a dialect of German until WW2.
it was more about not having the classic western feel
Seems like Samuel L Jackson knows what he's doing...
I’ll say it. Mike Myers was a genius for the Scottish Shrek call. He’s right about the blue collar and the exaggeration and everything.
So the moral of story is that Samuel L Jackson knows how to improve a movie...all his suggestions are gold
Your high heels should be made from adamantium if you want to wear it in jungle...
there's a clip on youtube where a guy found out she wasn't always wearing those heels when running in the jungle
Now you just need a nice sturdy pair it depends a great deal on how the heel itself is angled. I have friends who can flat-out Sprint regardless of the Terrain in a pair and even go as far as the practice karate in them. If you watch videos of people professional runners they are taught to run on the balls of their feet wearing heels that forces you on them
Nah. I've worn high heels deep in the woods and in less-than-ideal terrain many a time. It's not as hard or uncomfortable as people make it out to be, as long as you know your shit.
I would think the heels themselves would dig into the soft ground, making movement difficult, not necessarily that they're fragile and would break.
But have any of you worn heels while running for your life? Especially from a big ass T-Rex? There's a reason why people in horror movies trip over their own feet, especially if they wear heels.
There were a crap ton of Irish cowboys, not sure why it would be "inexplicable"
Jusoon exactly what i was thinking!!!
He just didn't want to use that overused taken voice.
No. Just no. In the settlement period of the American west, most every white cowboy actually started out east. As families moved west, the accents would slowly change as the conglomeration of people became more diverse. But accents die slowly in generations, since you listen to, and learn to talk from, your parents in your formative years. You pronounce words like they do.
And there were a LOT of Irish immigrants in that era. It's not ridiculous to assume that poor immigrants would jump at the opportunity to by land for incredibly cheap, as advertised by the government as an incentive for people to move west.
tl;dr
Irish cowboy isn't far-fetched, and the "western" accent wasn't even a thing until the era of the cowboy had already faded.
"I want a purple one" 😂😂😂 Me too!
Are we still talking about those goddamn high-heels in Jurassic World?!?
Joey.T.Cartoon.P even after its been proven doable
There's a difference between running in heels and running in heels for your life. You're stupid ass WILL trip.
BlodTussi Don't call someone else stupid when you don't know the difference between your and you're (you are).
Yes because that's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Let me know when you get placed in a dire situation where the lives of you and your family members are on the line and you decide to traipse around a raptor infested jungle in HIGH HEELS. *Let me knowwww*
With those low-cut tops, no one is looking at her stinking heels.
I don't think a lot of these demands were that outrageous.
I've heard of actor's demanding a lot worse
That snakes on a plane edit made me literally burst out in laughter LOL
Lololol “I’m not trying to ruin your career, just damage it” that’s f*cking legend
What career??
Conclusion : Samuel El Jackson is a genius
Vivien ici “El” .. lmfao, he’s not Spanish mate; the ‘L’ stands for Leroy 😂
Not only is he not Spanish, he is not Jewish, Israeli, OR Kryptonese.
Tony Stark's shawarma line is hilariously cool!!!
Who is Tony Stark?
Joseph LaCerra Iron Man. A Marvel character.
The Avenger 100% agreed
Yet if it was done in a DC film, you would all hate on it.
You Marvel fanboys have to keep talking up your films, don't you?
Dale Henderson you act like people can only be fans of one or the other lol. I’m generally a much bigger DC comics fan than Marvel but I think that Marvel has made better movies overall.
But I still like a good amount of DC flicks too.
Try not to look for problems where there aren’t any lol
Anyone can outrun an animal that isn't even running. Just walking. Never understood why even get bothered with someone wearing high heels. I was too busy watching dinos.
Neeson's Irish accent actually makes the character more historically acturate. It was lots of desperate foreigners went West for land and opportunity.
Makes sense to me
Sam Worrthington demands make a film horrible, Samuel Jackson demands make a film better. Worthington you didn't need the owl to ruin your career.
all of Samuel l jackson changes were great
No but you can scientifically CAN actually outrun a T-rex in high heels, its been shown that the fasters a woman has ever ran in high heels is faster that how fast a T-rex was expected to be able to run without its bones shattring
It wasn't a T-rex, its an hybrid. They explain it every movie.
T-rex from first movie was able to keep up with a jeep
Its not an exact replica of the extinct reptile.
lark_stylinson You mean theoretically. Science hasn't proven how fast a T-Rex could run. Also you are basing your assumption that all females in high heels run the same speed. That is almost like saying every man can run 27 mph just because Usain Bolt can. And like the previous posters mentioned, this was a genetically modified dinosaur, not an actual T-Rex. Apparently since earlier iterations of it has been shown to keep up with a jeep then it was stupid showing it being outran by a woman in high heels.
Not to burst your bubble, but TECHNICALLY you can, in fact, outrun a T-Rex (hybrid or otherwise). Because they're all EXTINCT and no longer have any ability to run.
Tim Hedrick unless it's a transformer T Rex
The heels play to Bryce Dallas Howard’s character.
Tom Cruise took over nearly all aspects of making the mummy? No wonder it sucked so bad. Glad i watched it for free online and not wasted money in the theater.
I congratulate you on making it through the movie. I didn't get past 30 minutes.
It was truly awful.
I'm sure glad tom added scenes of him running again, like he seems to do in every movie he makes
He basically does this on all his films.
Is it really that bad?
Sad to hear about the mechanical owl! What a jerk the actor was for having it removed.
Joy L he's lucky he landed avatar
I don't think so. That metal owl was from 1981. It really would have been silly to bring it back.
they insisted for the owl since its an illuminati symbol. The actor might didnt know this so he didnt get it why they wanted it in the movie so badly.
the whole premise of the movie is from 1981 or older so.... what is your point exactly?
95% of hollywood actors would kill for Sam Worthingtons career.
you guys are high.
People forget that in the early days of America the American accent had not really become a fully evolved reality yet. An Irish immigrant even a second generation one would speak with an Irish accent. just like Neeson did.
Why would you make this assumption? People had colonized the country over 250 years before the time of the"wild west". An American accent definitely existed by this point. Not to mention the fact there are recorded American voices from, at least, the early 1900s, which is only about 30 or 40 years after the time in question, so your theory really has no support.
No, presterjohn is essentially correct. Immigrants during the early 1800's mainly stayed in their own communities and would speak with pretty heavy accents.Things like the NY accent are a hodgepodge of Irish, Italian, German and English. The Italian and Irish parts of that accent didn't come about until the mid 1800's when we had massive immigration from Italy and Ireland. If you were a second generation Irishmen in the early 1800's, you likely would of had an accent that had more resemblance to a current Irish accent than today's American accent.
No need to argue about whether accents fade or not over time:
The film was set in 1882 in the American west
The Irish potato famine spured Irish immigration to the US from 1850 well into the 20th century
Simples
Ironbuket, you're correct of course, but that wasn't the debate. At least not the way I took it. A claim was made that a distinct American accent didn't exist in the late 1800s. It did. That's a completely separate issue from the accents of newly placed immigrants. There were Americans at this point who could trace their lineage back hundreds of years on the North American continent. That doesn't detract from accents of the freshly placed. Nor do the freshly placed negate that American accent.
There would have been plenty of cowboys with Irish, Italian, German, Spanish, etc accents. There would have been many, many accents before the homogenization of radio/tv. There would have been cowboys with Boston, NY, Southern, etc accents. I think we think that cowboys all sounded a certain way from the golden age of cowboy movies and tv in the 1940s-1960s when most of the actors had California/Midwest accents.
Immigrant Irish in the old west were actually extremely common.
Like the McFlys of Hill Valley in the late 19th Century
Yeah I don't get that at all - many Irish were bandits and outlaws in the old west.
Irish slaves were cheaper than African slaves
@@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869 Irish were indentured servants,,,, not the same as slaves.
But not cowboys.
The high heels were epic!!!
So far only Tom cruise was unreasonable and destroyed a projected franchise...
Interesting how many of these are Sam Jackson.
Jason Still He's been in over 120 films lol. Plus, he has a strong opinion.
And most of his changes were better.
Most of them were actors telling how to make things better
Samuel L Jackson didn't just change those movies he immortalized them
"Critics were pretty happy with Jurassic World..." Ehm, what?
I liked Jurassic World, but that's definitely not the impression I got from professional critics. Feels like only casual moviegoers were the only ones that weren't going to town on it
this has gotta be the most well-rated Looper video I've seen in like three years. blowing my mind.
give it time... the haters must have slept in. ;)
thats because the title is wrong, BUT the content is fun and interesting.
The ideas are actually all good and the snakes on the plane ideas turned the film into a cult film.
So god bless Jackson
*Historical Note: There were many, many Irish cowboys.
Sam Jackson got a purple light saber before shooting ever started so it wasn’t after that scene. The argument took place during phantom menace.
What Sam Worthington career?
Oof
Manuel M. LOL
I thought exactly the same...
The owl would have out-acted him and he was scared of being in the Owl's shadow. No seriously Sam Worthington has no acting charisma whatsoever, every movie he has in he has the same stage presence as wallpaper (except less exciting).
in a way, it did ruin his career... I loved the owl, and for a long time i wondered why it was missing. When I found out, i could no longer watch a Sam movie (even avatar recently) without cursing him for forcing out an iconic piece of the movie.... not a SW fan
Most of those changes are actually reasonable and cool improvements (specially the Avengers one), except what Tom did to the Mummy and the High heels from Jurassic World (unless her character was secretly a masochist).
The owl one with Sam Worthington, to consider the mechanical owl ridiculous when you are starring in a movie about ancient Greek gods, crazy mythological monsters and fantastical stuff happening left and right every second is really baffling (specially that Sam saw it as an attempt to ruin his career, what!?), it's not like the director wanted to put a mechanical talking owl into a WW2 drama movie or something, wth Sam, a little paranoid here or what!?
By far one of my favorite episodes of Looper.
Definitely satisfying to watch.
Yeet
