Bro, that TCM story of just using a piece of metal to protect the actors leg is nuts, reminds me when I was watching a doc, and there was some film from the 20's (maybe thirty's or older don't quote me) and they needed a shot of an avalanche, so they just legit created one to get the shot.
RE: The coconut halves in Holy Grail, the gift shop at Doune Castle where many of the castle scenes were filmed sells coconut halves! They used to lend out a pair, but people kept making off with them thinking they were screen used. LOL
The idea of the rabbit in the Monty Python movie was inspired by the façade of Notre Dame de Paris, which depicts the weakness of cowardice with a knight fleeing from a rabbit.
Lots of old "illuminated manuscripts" (old, hand-writen books from before the printing press, when books were insanely expensive) had weird visual jokes like that, drawn in the borders; Knights fighting snails and mice, or riding a snail like a horse. Sometimes the monks even drew crude sexual jokes. Kinda crazy, consider these books cost the equivalent of millions of a dollars; A whole team of monks would spend a year on one, single book. It's like buying a Bugatti, or million-dollar Renoir painting, and there's all these goofy little jokes, drawn all over it.
I love these longer ones. You get into the nitty gritty of who, what, where and how. A lot of them are so easy and others are so intricate. Well done guys.
Scott called it on Radio. I had 9 years at a small station in California. One of the shows I produced and hosted was old time radio shows on saturday nights (Dick Tracy, The Shadow, ESCAPE!, Gunsmoke etc.) It got me fascinated with classic foley work. My last 4 years there I built a collection of classic tools like coconut hooves and thunder foil. Produced a lot of ads for local businesses and other peoples broadcasts.
Wow! Cool. I mentioned that in my comment. I remember Gunsmoke and The Lone Ranger on the radio. How did they get those horses into the studios anyway? LOL 😂🐎
Fun facts: In Sweden, there was a big debate in 1980 after a program on state-owned television that was appalled by the violence in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Sweden at this time only had two television channels, both owned by the state, so the program was seen by many. The distributor of the film in Sweden was threatened with a boycott, and withdrew the film. The police also raided video tape rental companies. The result? VCR sales increased, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre received a ton of free publicity! It took until 2001 before it was allowed without censorship, and in 2003 it was allowed to be seen from the age of 15.
Honestly my new favourite UA-cam series. Would love to see a segment like "here's a scene, how do you think they did it?" Like with the ghostbusters-egg-hotplate.
16:30 you can see how much more proficient and comfortable the other actor is with the nunchucks - no blinking at all, while Bruce flutters his eyelids the whole time, afraid he might hit himself. You see it in movies with guns all the time as well; an experienced shooter won't blink when pulling the trigger because it throws your aim off, an inexperienced shooter will.
Best example is the range scene from Leathal Weapon where Riggs(Gibson) cant help blinking with every single shot despite being an ex special forces marksman.
@@nutsandgum well I've seen guys here on YT who shot millions of rounds and still blink. Some of them with a similar background to the character in the movie.
And then on the other end , Kate Beckinsale stopped blinking during training for Underworld. Her husband, who was the Director was very proud on the commentary.
great stuff again fellas! Working on a Star Wars film, I did manage to hold all the old lightsabers. Very grateful for that moment. The ones from the first 3 were so heavy compared to the moulded ones from the next 3 films. I really Sabered the moment.
Another SFX and VFX guy here, or should I say former as I haven’t bid on a job in over 4 years. But thanks for adding Phantasm! The sentinel sphere are so brilliant. I actually tried to make one myself 2 years ago. I got the nice orbs and grinding into them cleanly is a bloody challenge! Your grinder has a very tiny point of contact and stainless still is pretty hard. And grabbing those balls tightly (that sounded weird) is non-trivial. I ended up sticking them into a ring of a role or tape with tape 😂
I truly hope you guys do this for every decade of cinema. Or even have a series of famous props and you remake them using either the same or newer techniques
I just love how they decided upon using a real chainsaw on the actor's leg. I honestly want to see the actor's reaction when they told him, "alright so we're going to use this chainsaw, a real chainsaw, on your leg. The only layer of protection is this metal plate and some meat." I bet he didn't saw it coming.
there's an old video game called Turok 2 that used a weapon that's clearly inspired by Phantasm, it would shoot a little tracking ball that attached to an enemies head, drilled out their brains and then exploded. I always thought it was super gruesome for the 90s but now I see it's even older and gorier!
Never seen Taxi driver, so sleeve gun I think Wild Wild West. They had some incredible props. Would love to see you do something on the spy genre of the 60's: Wild Wild West, I Spy, The Man from UNCLE, & movies like any Bond film. 😊 And maybe compare shows and films in 1 genre like for example Space Sci Fi: Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, Lost in Space, etc. Then maybe Westerns: Gunsmoke, anything by Mr Eastwood, ... I could go on but I am sure you get me 😉 By the way, love your "dad" jokes and these longer videos 😁
That Carrie story is so awesome. Give you guys props! But I will say I think I would love to hear about movies from the 80s... *the thing theme starts*
That was great ! Indeed 70ies and 80ies were the best decades for movies and the industry in general. I wish you can make the next video about the 80ies 😊
6:03 You say that, but it's a convention lifted from radio plays. Even though horses were riding in the woods, those don't make a specific sound, so they used the horse on pavement-sound for everything to denote "riding on a horse." then movies came, and although it was more obvious that the sound was out of place, it had become a convention so people expected to hear that sound when people were galloping edit: yeah, Scott approximated what I said right after 😅
I have that same 1970's era Dremel moto tool used in that movie ( haven't watched it ) , and another reason why they may have wanted to change the cord on it aside from the color is the fact that it's quite a thick stiff power cord and after being coiled up in the case that cord can retain lots of memory. I'd imagine the original cord would be a nightmare to deal with even if it were already white.
The grenade scene is awesome, but we loved the rabbit in the '70s. In high school, we would randomly hold up two curved fingers and say, "shaaahp tee...."
The original theatrical cut of Star Wars had moments during the Vader/Obi Wan fight where the rotoscoped blade on Obi Wan's lightsaber was missing, and you could also see the cord that operated the spinning part of the Saber coming out of Alec Guinness' sleeve. Lucas later fixed those with VFX.
Back in the 1990s, I worked with a guy who knew the banjo playing kid in Deliverance. He never said how it was filmed but said the kid could not play the banjo. Maybe the kid was under NDA also.
I got to see the forest dome, from Silent Running. That movie came out the year I was born, and I grew up seeing it on VHS and cable. Seeing it at the sci fi museum here in Seattle, I got kinda emotional. I saw it in Battlestar Galactica, seeing it for real, that was so amazing, still kinda gets me. It's so beautiful.
Holy Crap that was awesome! I would like to see one about props/effects from the 1930s if possible. I realize many of those were not effects as we know them but I would like to know how they managed them without killing the actors (too often).
That’s going deep, but we are always up for a challenge. The super early days of cinema are a very interesting period. No rules, no saftey, crazy days!
Another great video, practical effects will always be my favorite style of effects. You just can't beat the "real thing" to make the whole scene come together and make things feel so real!!
In Jaws, for the Indianapolis monologue, Robert Shaw originally did do the scene drunk, arguing that it would be more realistic. However, the result was unusable. Spielberg considered dropping the scene, but Shaw pleaded with him to keep it. He did it sober the next day in one take.
Nice video. I really enjoyed the last picture showing the director with a bullhorn 3’ from the actor. I guess he wanted to make sure that everyone got his commands.
My favorite Monty Python and the Holy Grail prop story concerns the construction of the Holy Handgrenade of Antioch - the base upon which it was made was a toilet float.
These videos are so much fun. You guys really know your stuff, and listening to you talk about these legendary movie items is so much fun. Thanks for the video! Also, "he knows the drill" 🤣
The roto for the lightsabers was only for the many rereleases. The final shot in the original theatrical release was only using the reflective materials
Great to see you leveraging your shorts popularity to make something longer form. Very easy to watch and I’m sure you could do every decade over and over and still have plenty of great stories to tell. Apart from decades of film you could also do themed episodes either by the type of object (eg. Organic matter, weapons, food) or by prop-making categories related to how they are made, a specific use (like the Taxi driver gun device being made on camera), complicated props that needed to be made in large numbers, props that failed, props that injured actors or crew (you could do a whole episode on people being shot if you had enough info that hadn't already been covered). If the videos are categorised well they could work as an online resource for filmmakers and be referenced by anyone talking about the relevant films.
They didn't call them blockbusters because the queued round the block. The term blockbuster came from WW2. They were literally bombs that were so big they would destroy a city block. The public picked up on the phrase and started using it to describe anything that had a massive or spectacular effect. There are examples of it being used as early as the 1950's.
its funny, i always thoughjt the weird square thing that protruded from the lightsaber handle was an odd anti-ergonomic choice, but thats the clip from how it attached to the camera with some stuff stuck to it to fill the void.
Im a Texas Chainsaw Massacre FANATIC, and i will tell you right now, owning one myself... its a Poulan 245a. i have a 306a as well, and you can look at them side by side, compare to the movie and know without a shadow of a doubt its the 245a. one of my happiest memories is going to Quick Hill Road with my brother and getting some of the Asphalt and saving it, and now i also own one of the Spindles from the front of the house, they were selling some of them at Hoopers in Kingsland Texas for the TCSM 50th Anniversary "This year" and i bought one lol. so however small, i can say "I own a piece of movie history" now.
Bruce Lee first used nunchaku onscreen in Fist of Fury, in 1971, and continued to use them in every film he made subsequently. The yellow Game of Death nunchaku are certainly iconic, and it's a shame he didn't live to see the movie completed as written. What was cobbled together after his death is a mess, at turns unintentionally hilarious and offensively insulting. It's almost unbelievable that the director of Enter the Dragon couldn't come up with a better way to incorporate Lee's Game of Death fight footage into a film.
As a fan and collecter of movie props and a fan of your Chanel , just wanted to ask u guys , I have a lots of props mainly from Si-if movies and a lot of latex sets and need to store them as display room is limited and parts are fragile , I just wanted to as haw to store them to preserve them so thay don’t get damaged and know just in a box somewhere is not appropriate for props from movies ,
"One is none" is an important lesson that's since migrated into IT. One backup is none backup!
This series will blow up, just wait! Props to you guys!
I just showed a few of my film club friends these videos. They quite enjoyed it.
You really gotta give them props!
No, really, you gotta give them the props back at the end of a shoot, you’re not supposed to take them home!
AH, AH, HE SAID IT
I come to the comments to bash the HORRIBLE dad jokes not hear more!!!
Pun intended
Funfact: The German title for Monty Python and the Holy Grail is Ritter der Kokosnuss, which literally means Knights of the Coconut

I have my "Monty Python movie horse" collectors set yup..its an official thing 😅
Camera collectors hate lightsabers, because that part is so hard to find now.
The idea of the rabbit in the Monty Python movie was inspired by the façade of Notre Dame de Paris, which depicts the weakness of cowardice with a knight fleeing from a rabbit.
Monty Python are so cultured. It's cool that they reference something so sophisticated to make such a silly joke
Lots of old "illuminated manuscripts" (old, hand-writen books from before the printing press, when books were insanely expensive) had weird visual jokes like that, drawn in the borders; Knights fighting snails and mice, or riding a snail like a horse. Sometimes the monks even drew crude sexual jokes.
Kinda crazy, consider these books cost the equivalent of millions of a dollars; A whole team of monks would spend a year on one, single book.
It's like buying a Bugatti, or million-dollar Renoir painting, and there's all these goofy little jokes, drawn all over it.
@@baconsarny-geddon8298Them monks didn’t give a fuck
I’ll never look at a pan of brownies the same again!!!😱 I love this channel!!!!!🧡🖤🧡

Foley is a super-under appreciated part of sound design in media. I wish it got more attention and recognition.
So awesome hearing stories from prop guys. The unsung heroes of cinema.

We do plan to do more how do you think they did it videos.
I saw all of these as a kid in the 70s - many of them at the theater. Love hearing the history. Please do the 80s (Cmon Blade Runner!)
Its so crazy to be a background actor and see Scott and Poppi and Mark running around set. It's hard not to run up and ask for a photo..😂
Well, say Hi next time!
The 80’s! This is awesome

Groan!
It´s like meeting new friends with the same interest and humour!
I’d watch the three of you even if the episodes were an hour or longer. Excellent episode gentlemen. Keep them coming.
Well, thank you so much @bpalm74, we aim to please! Lots of fun and cool stuff coming this spring and summer! Keep watching!
Re: The bullhorn..
Tobe Hooper needed the bullhorn so he could be heard over the (very loud) noise of the chainsaw.
A very sound decision!
Yeah, I feel like that’s kind of an obvious one.
You could really say they played us all in that scene with the dueling banjos in deliverance
Another SFX and VFX guy here, or should I say former as I haven’t bid on a job in over 4 years. But thanks for adding Phantasm! The sentinel sphere are so brilliant.

I'd like to see one with crossovers. Movies that give a nod to another movie, either with a prop, or a reference.
Awesome guys! I'd love to see props from films you all did with the "love these/hated these" props!
I truly hope you guys do this for every decade of cinema. Or even have a series of famous props and you remake them using either the same or newer techniques
We plan to!
Always excited for a video with Scott and the Boys.
Chef’s kiss for the editing work with the transition and the jokes
(I’ve already said many times the rest was fantastic too)

Extremely interesting, I'm always amazed by how small the world is. From family to friends, how we are all connected, very cool.
So cool!
I always think of Wild Wild West when it comes to the forearm gun. I loved that show as a kid.
I love your videos they are the best 😂 you should do the 80’s plus the terminator!
That pun should have gotten canned laughter haha
This is awesome! 80’s and 90’s for sure. Any Back to the Future prop stories?! Keep up the great work boys.
Always ready for some Scott Prop and Roll puns!

You guys are great making these videos showing the inside workings of the movie industry, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Love these videos thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to create content.
The Matt in the back cameo always cracks me up
While the rabbit was memorable as a character, I think the Holy Hand Grenade was more memorable as a prop. Still, loved the video.
Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. Remember to count to three. Not 2 or 4.
The grenade scene is awesome, but we loved the rabbit in the '70s. In high school, we would randomly hold up two curved fingers and say, "shaaahp tee...."

Tobe has a bullhorn in that scene because he has to be able to be heard over the sound of a live chainsaw.
Now that a few people have mentioned it, it seems perfectly obvious. We couldn’t see the forest for the trees!
Very cool series, good
Love these. Keep 'em up.
You can go in order of decades. I want to hear about them all.
its funny, i always thoughjt the weird square thing that protruded from the lightsaber handle was an odd anti-ergonomic choice, but thats the clip from how it attached to the camera with some stuff stuck to it to fill the void.
Ohhhhhh a 25 minute video!? Must be my lucky day!
Maybe he thought to use the bullhorn because a real chainsaw is loud and he wanted to be able to be heard over it
Im a Texas Chainsaw Massacre FANATIC, and i will tell you right now, owning one myself... its a Poulan 245a. i have a 306a as well, and you can look at them side by side, compare to the movie and know without a shadow of a doubt its the 245a.
one of my happiest memories is going to Quick Hill Road with my brother and getting some of the Asphalt and saving it, and now i also own one of the Spindles from the front of the house, they were selling some of them at Hoopers in Kingsland Texas for the TCSM 50th Anniversary "This year" and i bought one lol. so however small, i can say "I own a piece of movie history" now.
@24:52 Bullhorn to be heard over the chainsaw? To give direction while it's running.
Well that’s a great observation!! That actually makes perfect sense.
Bruce Lee first used nunchaku onscreen in Fist of Fury, in 1971, and continued to use them in every film he made subsequently.
The yellow Game of Death nunchaku are certainly iconic, and it's a shame he didn't live to see the movie completed as written. What was cobbled together after his death is a mess, at turns unintentionally hilarious and offensively insulting. It's almost unbelievable that the director of Enter the Dragon couldn't come up with a better way to incorporate Lee's Game of Death fight footage into a film.
You sound like a Brue Lee expert! We should have had you on!
As a fan and collecter of movie props and a fan of your Chanel , just wanted to ask u guys , I have a lots of props mainly from Si-if movies and a lot of latex sets and need to store them as display room is limited and parts are fragile , I just wanted to as haw to store them to preserve them so thay don’t get damaged and know just in a box somewhere is not appropriate for props from movies ,
24:50 Maybe the *bullhorn* is to cover the sound of the *chainsaw*
