It doesn’t usually pay to look below the surface of a movie based on grown men getting hit in the face with inflatable balls, but this is one exception. When the team at Average Joe’s Gym goes up against the cocky, well-funded, testosterone-fuelled Purple Cobras, it’s a battle of David vs Goliath. But viewers might not realize that seeing the “Joes” vs. “Cobra” is one big nod to G.I. Joe and their greatest enemies. With that in mind, audiences should have realized that the Joes would always come out on

Before Chris Hemsworth was famous as the Marvel hero Thor, he splashed onto the scene playing Captain Kirk’s father George in Star Trek . The 2009 reboot saw George killed in battle aboard the USS Kelvin, but his legacy, and that of the ship, lived on. In the sequel, fans were probably too busy trying to make sense of the bomb plot and blood transfusions to notice that the scene of the disaster was the Kelvin Memorial Archive. Named for Kirk’s ship, it means the destruction of the Kelvin set the plots of both films in motion – a subtle nod that only the diehard fans might have cau
Though most of its action may be focused on a single cathedral, that doesn’t stop The Hunchback of Notre Dame from squeezing in some Disney cameos, with the opening scene alone featuring a vendor selling Aladdin’s magic carpet, and Beauty and the Beast’s Belle out for a morning stroll. The Lion King ‘s resident jokester Pumbaa may seem an odd fit for Paris, France, but his cameo in the film’s climax is even better: proudly standing guard as a stone gargo
One of the best known Pixar Easter Eggs is the label “A113”, the classroom at the California Institute of Arts where many of the company’s earlier animators learned their trade. But the California locations are nothing new: in Beauty and The Beast, Maurice and Felipe find themselves lost in a terrifying forest, with a worn-out signpost offering little help. But a closer look shows arrows pointing to both Valencia, where the school is located, and Anaheim, home to Disneyl
We at least know when production is set to begin on Star Trek 3 . On Location Vacations reports that the film’s start date is April 15th, 2015, and that things will kick off at Vancouver Film Studios. Previously there have been claims that part of the shoot will take place in Seoul, South Korea, and that may still be true for some of the on-location work. When it comes to studio space, however, it looks like Vancouver won the raf
Somewhere out there in the universe, a force is growing under a veil of secrecy and shadow – and not just any force, but THE force. We’re now two years away from the 2015 release of J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars Episode VII and we still know little-to-nothing solid about what Disney has planned for its big re-launch of Star Wars – other than the fact that some familiar faces will be returning to the franch
The very subtitle of Episode VII suggests that the Force has been dormant for some time, and though there are still Force users out there, they’re not as prominent as they once were. Luke may or may not have started a new Jedi Order, but even if he did, the odds that scavengers on Jakku know about it are slim. As for Rey inquiring about the stories about what happened (meaning Episodes IV-VI )? Think of it as a young basketball fan asking an older basketball fan if the things he’s heard about Michael Jordan are true. Nobody’s doubting the Rebels beat the Empire, they just want to know how factual the fantastical tales they heard
You don’t have to be a princess just to star in a Disney adventure, only willing to don a disguise to protect your family – and belt out a few musical numbers too. Mulan learned that for herself when she pretended to be a man to join China’s forces against the invading Huns in Disney’s retelling of the classic story. Its message must have struck a chord with the cast of Lilo and Stitch, since a poster of Mulan hangs on Lilo’s sister Nani’s wall, and https://movietriviafocus.Com/ the family even passes a restaurant called “Mulan Wok” when first adopting the trouble-making al
In recent days, Latino-Review has been dropping some big rumors about Episode VII ; first came word that Emperor Palpatine will be returning – if only as the Sith equivalent of a “force ghost” – and now the website claims to have knowledge that Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi could also be coming back as a ghostly gu
Throughout the classic trilogy, there are only five Force users depicted, and two of them are former Jedi in hiding. Nobody is exactly broadcasting the fact that they’re Force sensitive. A handful of Imperials knew of Darth Vader’s “devotion to that ancient religion ,” but many regular citizens probably saw him just as the Empire’s enforcer and not a Sith Lord. Luke gained a lot of attention for destroying the first Death Star, but only his trusted confidants knew of his abilities. Unlike the Clone Wars, where Jedi Knights actively served the Republic, they had a minor presence at best during the Galactic Civil
