Either someone who worked on the movie, someone who had a laserdisc with commentary, or someone who just made a large number of assumptions and guesses and submitted them.
Both very detailed but oddly empty and uninteresting.
Ok.
"By all means move at a glacial pace. You know how that thrills me."
I just read some of them now and I know at least one of them is wrong. The one about the puppet show being pushed down the hill. It says you can see the legs of a stagehand, it was not pushed in that manner, it was actually a car...I know this because I was there. You can very clearly see me, I'm the chunky-ish kid wearing the blue shirt that pushed the cart down the hill.
shareDude, you were an extra in the greatest comedy ever? That *beep* rocks. How did you get to be an extra? Was it fun? That's awesome.....!
shareyeah, I've been in the business for about 25 years now either as an extra or as small featured parts. It's really simple to become an extra...especially if you're in LA. All you really have to do is look up movie extra and you'll find site for various background work agencies, Central Casting, etc.
I've lost a couple of pounds since then and have become a musician too. I'm now working with a couple of bands, one doing oriiginal music and one being a Beatle tribute band where I do the McCartney part.
But, that was one of the very few movies that I've worked on that I actually like watching just as average viewer.
WannaBeatle,
It is not my wish to contradict you, but it might be possible that you're remembering something incorrectly, or you're remembering a different take.
Here is the first part of the movie with the scene in question:

If you skip to 8:27-28 look at the rear wheel, you will see who legs running behind the puppet show wagon, as if someone is giving the wagon a running start. (Perhaps the description in the trivia is poorly worded to make it sound like it's the scene directly after this, where camera is looking up at the wagon rolling down.)
Decide for yourselves.
Cheers,
Mike
oh yeah, I do vaguely remember someone giving the cart a starting push (I saw the legs) But, I do remember it being a car, I think I was chatting with the driver for a brief moment.
So, I suppose we're both right.
whew!!! It's a good thing I've actually lost weight since then...well, I may weigh about the same now, but quite a few inches taller haha
No problem, I saw the thread and I had to jump in, having just seen this clip on YouTube.
This was such a great film, thank you for sharing your experience on the set with us. =)
