There's a lot of possibilities for how this could work. Of course, we are going with the assumption that Mr. Green was an undercover FBI agent in all 3 endings.
1) There was a Mr. Green who was gay and worked for the State Department. Mr. Boddy found out and started blackmailing him. When he received the letter, he freaked out and went to the FBI. Realizing that there were several people being blackmailed by this man, they sent an undercover agent in Mr. Greens stead, in order to get the evidence to bust this mysterious Mr. Boddy.
Now you might ask why Mr. Boddy didn't realize that the man at the house was not Mr. Green. Perhaps he never actually saw Mr. Green. He had an informant who told him about Mr. Green, just like he did with the other five guest. And when the real Mr. Green went to the FBI, the informant was arrested, which is why he was the only informant not at the house.
2) Another theory to explain why there wasn't an informant for Mr. Green, was there wasn't one. They knew of a mysterious man named "Mr. Boddy" who was blackmailing high profile people in the DC area but could never get a victim to testify against him. So they set up one of their guys with a job at the State Department, and sent an unanimous tip to Mr. Boddy that he was gay. So Mr. Boddy sent a letter to Mr. Green telling him that he had evidence of his secret and he better pay to keep it quiet. Then when the invitation to the party came, they knew that was their chance.
3) Or maybe they figured out who the informant was first, and needed to find out who he was working for. So they sent their agent in undercover, he hit on the informant, and the informant told Mr. Boddy. Now they have a direct connection to Mr. Boddy, and can try to figure out who he is. The party was their opportunity.
Obviously they didn't anticipate the murders, including who they thought was Mr. Boddy. And being gay in the 1950's was enough for some employers, including the government, to fire someone.
No. Both his parents were normal sized and lived in New York City. He developed his "superhuman skills" from years and years of practice with the other elves.
II was good. While it may not live up to the first, it's a very solid action/comedy movie in its own right.
III was a mess. It was almost like they wanted to do a pg-13 version of the first one so that it would appeal to a larger audience. But then they did just enough to keep the R rating, so in the end we're left with a watered-down rehashing of the first movie, and it didn't make any money.
An inground pool today would cost on average around $35,000, with $55,000 being on the high end. In 1989 that would be around $14,105, or up to $22,166.
Given the way Clark thinks, I have a feeling he would be closer to the high end. My guess is that he was expecting that check to be in the near $20,000.
As a man of science, you wouldn't rule out any possibility until you know for certain in won't work. Especially the two simplest ways: the car running on its own, or having horses pull it. If one horse could get to 25 mph, it could be possible for 4 horses to get to 100 mph. Then 6 horses could pull the DeLoren. It was a theory he had to try before ruling out.
There is the element of "too soon". For major tragedies like this or 9/11, people need time to process what happened, get over the shock of it and grieve. Once you give people that time to get themselves together, then sports can become the much-needed distraction, like they were in 2001.
The NFL was wrong to play those games so soon after the assassination. Everyone involved in those games regretted the decision to play. And to make matters worse was the story was still developing. Lee Harvey Oswald was shot less than an hour before kickoff, and people were trying to figure out what happened with that.
Ruby was in his Junior year at Holy Cross. As stated, Notre Dame did not accept senior transfers, so this was Rudy's last chance to get in. He was accepted and immediately tried out for the football team. He spent that season on the practice squad under coach Ara Parseghian. Prior to his senior year Dan Devine took over as coach. Rudy remained on the practice squad all year until the last game.
So there you go. Two seasons playing for Notre Dame, 1 senior year. Hope this cleared up any confusion.
Frazier would never have taken a title shot with only 6 weeks to train.
Of course. The devil will always greet you with a smile.
He got to be the nice guy because he had guys like Rocky around to handle the not nice stuff for him.
It wasn't the final round. There was another round after that, as well as time left in that round. Plenty of time for Apollo to do even more serious damage to Rocky, if not kill him. Rocky's eye was already seriously injured, and his nose was broken. Mickey was just trying not to get him killed.
Duke was doing the same for Apollo. He didn't want him to go out for the last round. Which would have cost him the title, and been incredibly embarrassing.
My guess is that he had some kind of medical emergency in his jacuzzi and lost consciousness. He went under water and drowned.
Wasn't she always broke anyways? And she had already sold off most of her interest in Graceland.
1,500,000 x 1,500,000 =2,250,000,000,000.
More like 2 and a quarter TRILLION.
If the show had been cancelled during season 1, it would have gone down as one of the biggest disasters in the history of network television. The pilot episode cost between $10-$14 million, and other episodes were very expensive. And ABC marketed their entire fall line up around Lost and Desperate Housewives. If either had been so bad that they were cancelled mid-season, then that would have been a disaster that ABC would still be feeling.
I would say that turned out to be an excellent decision by Kurt Russell.
First, Escape from New York is infinitely better than Flash Gordon.
Second, he got work with John Carpenter for the second time. They had already done the Elvis made for tv movie, and now he had the chance to not only do a movie with him, but a dark, gritty thriller which Carpenter had already shown a talent for making.
Third, the success of this movie lead to him following it up with The Thing, also directed by Carpenter. And three years after that he did the slapstick action-comedy movie, but at least it was by a director he trusted... John Carpenter.
Is he doing anything to be cancelled from??
She's distracting everybody from seeing this 41-3 game.
She put his hand on her tit and had her other hand on his dick. She was having a good time.
Loved it as a kid. And to this day anytime I have to write turtle i hear that robotic voice in my head going "T-U-R-T-L-E POWER!!!"
I've enjoyed The Killer Angels very much. But even there some of the speeches were a little long winded and redundant. And it's even more so in the movie. It just did not need to be four and half hours.
And the Chamberlin/Hancock speech wasn't just unnecessary, but completely nonsensical. The 20th Maine was in the 5th Corp, with was under General Sykes. That's who Chamberlin would have been getting orders from, and meeting with. And if not him then it would have been General Meade.
