It's called the Hays Code look it up! It used ti be way more strict than now when tv/movie was first invented. That's why old horror movies never show the act of murder just before and after. also if you ever get the chance too take Horror Films as a humanites credit in college its alot of fun.

Makes sense. It's meant to be in England and they couldn't have 24/7 rain, could they? If you watch the movie now, it's very obvious they're on a sound stage.

I’m sure it’s getting harder and harder to find a middle aged woman who’s been smoking two packs a day for the last forty years and has that kind of voice. Anti-smoking campaigns, you know, plus what smoking does to your teeth, especially if you’re an actor.

Because back then, he had nothing to hide. ^_- (can't give any links now, but I recall seeing a video where they unfold this little detail, that in Disney animated films, the gloves usually mean the character wearing them is hiding something. Could be just a coincidence, or could be a real practice adopted later in the company's career)

Trashemotions Showflyer 4 years ago
imo, the best life you can have, woman or man, is, if you had the ability to grow up to not NEED someone to be with. but maybe you just WANT and choose to. maybe not even in a relationship. maybe with some form of love. because you both are strong and independent. caring for another from time to time does not diminish your strength or independence. if you care, or if you can accept to be taken care of from time to time, because you know, that for the other person, friend, lover, stranger, family member, being able to show that they care for someone, is also to take care of themselves. it's a simple act for everyone, to prove to oneself, that humanity is a race of hope and trust in itself. I never got that. Love requires real strength and independence, and is in no way a sign of weakness.

He was known to British children for about 2 decades as "The Green Cross Code Man" . He wore a green and white superhero type costume with a green cross on a white background and taught road safety to kids. He made safety ads about it and went around to all different primary schools to promote road safety and how to cross the road safely. I remember when he came to my school. He was absolutely brilliant. He didn't seem to mind that we asked him more about Star Wars than road safety. He even reprised the role years later to teach older kids to be safe when crossing the road while texting. He was such a really lovely man. He also had a robot side kick which, to me , anyway, looked suspiciously like R2D2. Here he is in this photo I found. He always said that the work that he was the most proud of was being the Green Cross Code Man. Just kind of shows you what a real gentleman he was when he prioritised keeping kids safe over being in a Hollywood blockbuster. RIP David Prowse. green-cros...170517.jpg 
Chewie Baron 4 years ago
He hadn't seen the costume for Darth Vader before his choice as he'd seen the Chewbacca costume and didn't want his face hidden. Then he saw Darth's costume! Also, the reason why his voice was dubbed was because he had a very strong West Country (think Somerset area) accent that just didn't work in the film. The dubbing over with James Earl Jones' voice was done in post production. It was one of the reasons why the film was pushed back from late 1976 to May 1977.

Well, not an interesting fact but a fact. There's a sub-genre in movies in which animals/plants/stuff etc replace humans, act like humans, live like humans but no real humans: Cars, Planes, Zootopia, Robots, Shark Tale, Onward. Sometimes they live like humans but humans exist too; such as Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, Transylvania.

That was the same year a Disneyland employee died in her car (where she had lived for years) because even as a full time employee (of a $92 BILLION company) she didn't make a living wage so she couldn't afford a home or healthcare. And she is one of MANY who (pre-pandemic) made poverty level wages working full time. Way to go , Disney!
