WOW, DVD LISTS ACTOR I NEVER HEARD OF!


Ok, need a bit of help here. Can't find any answers on the web to this question... The DVD of Rollercoaster lists Georgel Segal's charachter as "Joe Blow" instead of Harry Caulder (in the special features menu, cast and crew). He's listed correctly at the end of the film and everywhere I search on the web. I can't understand why the studio did this. Does anyone know a verifiable reason?

Yeah, I saw that, too. I assumed that it was either an inside joke, and/or that the DVD makers were just playing around a bit (Joe Blow/Schmo or Fred Bloggs (in Britain) being standard names for generic personas).

The chapter titles also suggest a similar kind of flippant sense of humor; e.g., "Bugging Out in Chicago."

Yeah I noticed that too, isn't it weird?

I'm just speculating here but maybe when they were creating the DVD menus, someone used "Joe Blow" as a place holder or something and then forgot to change it later. Then the DVD went out to press without anyone noticing it (except us).

Funny though!
