Things that make you go "huh"

So in 1987 Art Malik was in the Bond movie "The Living Daylights", in which he plays a Mujahideen fighter who helps Bond battle the Russians.



Just seven years later he would play Salim Abu Aziz in "True Lies", a middle eastern terrorist who wants to blow up a US city with a nuclear bomb.



What amuses me about this is that in hindsight... these could actually be the same person! Freaky!

In the Star Trek III, when the Admiral tells Kirk that the Enterprise will be retired as she is over 20 years old, Mike Okuda's text commentary says that NASA has less trouble with old spacecraft since the Space Shuttle Columbia was over 20 years old and still flying. Shortly after the DVD was released Columbia burned up on re-entry - exactly how the Enterprise died in Star Trek III.

Way to start up the conspiracy theories, there, GK! Although both of those are freaky!

Whilst playing Achilles in Troy, Brad Pitt tore his achilles tendon. Huh!


Jackie Chan was scheduled to shoot a scene for a movie on top of the World Trade Centre on 9/11. He changed his mind about doing the movie and backed out a couple of weeks before. The movie? Nosebleed - a film about terrorists trying to blow up the World Trade Centre.


In the film "Game of Death", Bruce Lee plays an actor who is shot on set when a prop gun proves to be real. Fifteen years later his son Brandon was killed in the exact same way.

Huh...

In The Swan Princess, John Cleese voices a frog who thinks he is a prince under a curse. In the Shrek movies, Cleese's character is a king who was once a frog (and is eventually turned back into one). Though, Cleese gave the former character more of a French accent.
