Title: Did you spot it? Movie Theater Marquees in Movies Post by: claws on June 16, 2012, 12:39:33 PM So I was watching Angel (1984) today and noticed in several scenes two marquees advertising for Return of the Jedi (1983) and Blue Thunder (1983).
Batman Returns (1992) can be seen on a marquee in The Double 0 Kid (1992). Did you spot any recently? Title: Re: Did you spot it?

Couldnt be for a personal live apperance,which Bela did many until his death-because in 1958-he was dead. Hmmm...

Title: Re: Did you spot it? Movie Theater Marquees in Movies Post by: BoyScoutKevin on August 17, 2013, 12:49:32 PM Surprisingly, or maybe not, how many of these are in-jokes, but here is another one.
In 1988, Ken Russell did a little film called "Lair of the White Worm" (reviewed at this site.) Then in 1991, he did another little film called "Whore." A theater marquee in the second film shows that the film playing at the theater is, of course, "Lair of the White Worm." Title: Re: Did you spot it?
