  • Strange backgrounds for making movies?

    What's the weirdest reason for making a movie, you've heard?

    About 10 years ago two danish comedian partners made 2 movies:

    Jydekompaniet 1
    Jydekompaniet 3



    They never made the first one (Or was it 2 and 3 they made... not sure). The reason for their choice: The first sequel to a movie is always the worst movie in the series (Or at least they thought so). This is why they didn't make a second movie, but moved to the 3rd movie instead
    This space is empty... or is it?

    Excellent decision on their part.

      Jødekompaniet?

      Anyway, wasn't there a Naked Gun 33 1/33 or something (with Leslie Neilsen)? Don't remember if they skipped #2.

          My first movie will be suffixed "II", just to confuse the public.
          Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

            Hah, that might have worked BEFORE Episode II came out.

              Not Jøde but Jyde (Don't know if this actually shows up correctly on non-danish computers... but I would guess so)


              And yes, there's a Naked Gun 2½, but indeed strange numbers they chose... anyone who knows if there's a specific reason to take those weird numbers?

                  Yes, I know... but maybe there where a greater reason...


                  Don't get me wrong, I really like this way

                    You know, there's a story that when they filmed the Britich play, "The Madness of George III," they changed the name to "The Madness of King George" because they were afraid that, if they used the original title, Americans would think it was a sequel to a really obscure horror film they'd never seen.

                    The story doen't seem to be true, but it's a great story nevertheless.

                        And as fas as strange backgrounds for making movies, Ed Wood's managing to get Plan 9 from Outer Space financed by his church must certainly make everybody's short list.
