We laughed our asses off and really enjoyed Big Trouble in Little China. Fun times. They Live is slower paced, but I love it all the same, and still think it's great movie.
About half way thru the film, I saw something on screen that made my eyes bug out. I couldn't believe what I was fucking seeing. IT COULDN'T BE.
then I went home to make sure. take a look at this.
I shot the dream sequence, for my first feature film, in the middle of the fucking alley where the FIGHT TOOK PLACE! I know only movie geeks would give a shit about this, but I almost cried. On the day of the shoot, our original alley was blocked off and I didn't think we'd ever find a better location. We were a crew of 5 wandering downtown looking for something- ANYTHING, and we ended up here. More than a year later I find out that I'm shooting on cult film territory and i would've had no idea until I watched that movie again- so I'm extremely happy I went tonight. What a boost. The running time of my film is about 2 hours now and one of the scenes I cut out was the alley dream sequence. Man, this makes me want to put it back even more, it was hard enough a decision!
The location has never been listed online that I know of, so stumbling onto this was just sheer luck- I didn't even remember it being set in LA. Anyway, that made tonight extra special, knowing that we shot on a little piece of cult film history- everyone should watch that fight scene, it really goes on forever.
