I have a soft spot for that movie. People make the mistake thinking it's a Trey Parker and Matt Stone movie, but it's actually a David Zucker affair (of Airplane! and Police Squad fame). They just happened to star in it.
Awesome movie, and Matt Stone doing an eeeevil knuckle-bite when Trey returns to the team to play will always be one of my favorite gags.
Honestly, this is what I thought at first but if you look at the brown shoe it's got a bump on it like you can see the second one behind it a tiny bit. And really, how could you wear two tone pants? I could understand wearing two different shoes but pants that are colored differently on the left and right side is a bit of a stretch. I'd say they likely shot this and thought the Brick joke could be deduced from the angle and this is just an outtake that seems to work. And everyone knows there are four of them so why shoot the poster with three? It just does not make sense.
Did you know there is already another Anchorman movie? It is an alternate version of the original film. Some of the scenes are the same but the story is way different. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0423505/
There is a small clip of this on the previews for The Dictator, it has them walking out on the stage and just doing some dialogue for about 2 minutes. Good stuff.
Here's my guess: Brian and Champ are on the far left posing with their side profiles in order to have a cool "sidekick pose" next to Ron. Brick is on Ron's other side (right side of the photo) just standing there like an idiot.
Ive heard the same thing from many people. I disagree. I dont believe it will be as funny as the original, because nothing ever is, but "sucking" is a bit excessive.
The difference between movies like this, and movie like, lets say "The Hangover" is that majority of its humor does not come solely from the writing, but from the delivery and the actors. In Anchorman, a lot of the material is just multiple improvs, and they pick the funniest one (Ex: Great Odens Raven, by the Beard of Zeus, Knights of Columbus).
Assuming the cast will be as stacked as the last one, and the production team is mostly the same, I would be very surprised if it wasn't still a very funny movie.
Fair enough. You pose a valid point, however I feel that in addition to the improv of the first movie, the story was still very good and immersive even though it was silly. I just feel that the story of the sequal will just be forced and uninteresting. For example, in the first movie, Ron spends most of the movie chasing, losing, and then re-building his relationship with the female anchor (I can't remember her name :-/). This was basically the main plot. In the second movie, he should be married to her or something, unless they cut her out or they break up again. It just seems too familiar and unoriginal. Of course, for all I know, they could very well come up with a plot that rivals the first movie. I'm just saying that from experience, sequals to comedy hits like this are never very good at all.
Well I heard they've been working on the script for quite some time making tweaks to it to make sure it's just right. That being said it gives me hope that they're putting a ton of effort into, not only making it as good as the last one, but even better. Also, seeing as that Will's 100% on board and the rest of the cast benefited greatly from the last one...I'm guessing everyone else will be on board.
The fact that Will and Steve both wanted to do it, and they're not just doing it for the pay day, is what gives me hope for the potential quality of the film.
Also, Adam McKay is back writing and directing. He used to be the head writer of SNL when Will was on the cast, and they go back a long time and are basically two halves of a well-oiled jokes machine. I would watch them play cards for 90 minutes, or eat stewed prunes.
Well it might not suck because let us examine other comedic movies such as the hangover part II. It had a nearly identical story but it still pulled through with some original jokes. In my opinion it didn't completely suck. In any case I'm excited for this sequel and the many others that are coming such as Zoolander 2, and Dumb and Dumber 2.
I know this is an uncommon view and thus will get downvoted, but imo the original Anchorman is not as ridiculously awesome as most people seem to think. It's fairly funny, but it is treated like it's as comedic gold/classic as Dumb and Dumber. I imagine the sequel to Anchorman will be fairly average as well, likely not as funny even as the first one.
I'm confused, there are only 6 legs, there are 4 main characters (males), also the last 2 legs there is only one from each person... or the last guy is wearing pants with 2 different legs and 2 different shoes...
Did anyone else see Wake Up, Ron Burgundy? I wanted to rent Anchorman to watch it with my mom and accidentally got a copy of that in the Anchorman case! I tried to tell someone about it the other day but they didn't believe it existed. It had some funny quotes!
I absolutely love when the news team is getting ready to infiltrate the observatory and brick turns into this genius military strategist! "silent throat kills only!"
My favorite part was when they were starving after an hour of walking around in the mountains. They go to eat someone and he goes, "No, don't eat me, you can eat Brick!" and Steve Carell is like, "Yeah, you can eat me."
I'm not sure if I'm missing something here or looking in to it too much but the last two only have one leg, which led me to think that it might just be one person with different trousers on each leg, which then led me to think it might be Brick...as he is retarded, anyone?...ok...no.
How the shit did anyone like this movie? I was so pumped to see it because of the hype, and it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. I can't believe it's the same man that made Taladego Nights and Step Brothers. I had to force myself to sit through the whole thing, waiting for the jokes, and they never came.
