8MileBU Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I’m assuming the majority on here aren’t thrash metal fans so might not know that Danny Trejo of Con Air and Machete fame starred in the music video for “Repentless” by the now retired metal titans, Slayer. P.S. Let us know what you think of the video even if the music ain’t your cuppa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 I just watched the Christopher Reeves Superman film from 1978 there. I last watched it about 35 years ago. I didn't realise that Harry Andrews played one of the Krypton elders. I don't think that I've ever seen him outside of some corny WW2 film. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer were always the boys, even if they're a bunch of right-wing c***s. Bad Slayer is still better music than 99% of what everyone else produces. I was watching Death Wish 4 a while back and thought that one lad in a brief scene looked a bit like Danny Trejo. Whaddaya know, it was one of his first roles. Take a look at his IMDb page - 402 acting credits, and he seems to take on more work every year. At the time of writing, he has 19 projects pending release. The man's 77 years old this month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Today I learned that Vince Gilligan of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul fame did a bunch of X-Files episodes as well. I barely remember the first episode he apparently wrote (Soft Light) despite watching it maybe a fortnight ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That barman is also called Ian, and manages to serve every other underage patron before Will’s meltdown. Bent or incompetent? Same character IMHO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think one of the episodes Vince wrote had Bryan Cranston in it too, one where a nazi keeps hearing high frequencies and his head goes pop near the end of the episode. I'll google it after I finish typing this as it may well be titled Soft Light, trying not to cheat... edit: ah it isnt soft light after all, ep im thinking of is called drive Edited May 5, 2021 by Thistle_do_nicely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thistle_do_nicely Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Oh im not sure if its already on the thread but I rewatched Black Hawk Down relatively recently - a few months ago tbf, think might even have been over the festive period last year - and Jaime Lannister from GoT was in it in a fairly major role, full on had a giddy "haha oh no way that's so cool" reaction when I seen it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs regularly watches Murder She Wrote and it's mad how many high profile names have made guest appearances on that too, Bryan Cranston is there too, might be harder to name celebs from that era that didnt make an appearance on it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Couple of bits of Coronation Street trivia for y'all John Savident/Fred Elliott has a small part in A Clockwork Orange. Helen Worth/Gail Platt has a similarly minor role in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Away from Weatherfield.... Pat Stanton, Hibs and Celtic legend plays himself as a publican in The Acid House Tess Daly appears in the music video for 'Serious' by Duran Duran from, if memory serves me correctly 1991? And is absolutely smoking hot in it too She also is in a video by that weird American guy Moby a few years later as well Edited May 6, 2021 by Flybhoy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
