This is so crazy! I can't believe it! I was watching "In the Army Now", with Pauly Shore, a 1994 movie. I was shocked to find a reference to "Pirates of the Caribbean", a 2003 movie, in there. Ok, they were in a jail cell and trying to get the keys that were just out of reach. They are all leaning through the bars and "fishing" for the keys. And this is what Puly Shore said.....
"Hey! Do you guys realize what we are doing right now? This is that scene from Pirates of the Caribbean. All we need is that mangy dog, right?"
Is this shocking to anyone else? I got on google and found out that Pirates of the Caribbean is NOT a remake of another movie. Does anyone have any explainations? This is so weird, I'm gonna go insane........

Is this a joke? Cause if it is, I would like to point out that it's way too early for joking. Wait till at least 11. But, anyway, ever heard of the RIDE Pirates of the Caribbean? Found at your local Disney themepark. edit: Okay, you must be joking. Or I'm going insane. One of those two.

But POC is a ride at one of the Disney theme parks. I haven't been and so don't know, but I guess. I loved "In the Army Now", by the way. Every critic I've ever read hated Pauly Shore, but they were all men so I guess they were just intimidated or something.

This is not a joke. I know PotC was a ride, but why would he say "scene from" and describe it exactly? This is so incredibly weird. By the way, a lot of people hat Pauly Shore, but I think he's funny. I love his movies. Did you know that after "Encino Man" Brendan Frasier's character "Link" showed up briefly in "Son in Law" and "In the Army Now". It's true. Look closely and you'll see.

It is a ride in Disneyland that has been there for half of forever. I don't know if they made a duplicate at Disney world or not. But I know it was there in the early 80's and Disney buffs like Icarus can probably be even more specific.

I'm pretty sure there is one at Disney World, too. EN, Pirates of the Caribbean is a boat ride where you float by different "scenes" involving pirates. I've never been on it, so I have no idea what scene they are talking about.

Do you know how many movies have very similar scenes? I have no idea, but I'm sure the answer is "lots."

That "scene" is taken directly from the ride. The ride is in a boat and you float by a bunch of different mechanically animated scenes to tell the story (kind of like "Its a Small world" except more lifelike.) There are a bunch of mechanically animated people in one area doing exactly that, as far as fishing for the keys and the dog and I would have expected that to be in the movie if they were being true to the ride at all.

Oh, ok. It's not so weird now. I've never been to Disneyland, so I woulnd't know for sure. But that's still a little weird....

He was not describing a scene from the movie exactly, the movie had a scene from the ride, almost exactly.
My family went to DisneyWorld a couple of years ago and the kids wanted to go on the POTC ride. There is an inside scene that is set in a prison where the pirates are trying to get the keys from a dog. The makers of the movie lifted that scene diretly into the movie. There are several scenes like that in the movie. Remember, this movie gets its inspiration from the ride, not the ride from the movie.

I've only been to Disneyland and a very long time ago but it sounds like the rides in both Disneyland and Disney World are pretty close to identical.

Yep . . . scene from ride . . . ride in both American parks (and France, though I don't know about Tokyo) . . . scene in both as well.
The two versions are not absolutely identical, but they are very similar. Disneyland versions of classics tend to be a little bit more detailed, and so the idea that these are pirate ghosts is more thoroughly made clear in the Disneyland version. In the WDW version, you see these pirate skeletons steering ships and stuff at first, and then you cross into a town and live-looking pirates are attacking the town, and there is never an explanation of what was going on at the beginning. I always figured it was for atmosphere, like we were looking at the ghosts of the pirates now, and then travelling back in time to see them in their prime. In the California version, there is a little more explanation of the fact that these are ghost pirates, so, in a sense, it is more true to the movie--er, um, or whatever.
The Disneyland version also has a very pretty entrance, with a restaurant that the boats pass by on their way in, where you can eat overlooking part of the ride. Very cool!

A friend of mine is a professional comic, but one who never made it to Hollywood. He's told us that Pauly Shore did not get his fame based on his comic talents, but on "who you know" being related to a big Comic club owner in LA.

My uncle's first job, while doing stand-up for The Comedy Club in Los Angeles, was to drive their limo around and pick up their real stars, one of which was caretaker of a young Pauly. My uncle got to pick him up from high school and drop him off at The Comedy Club.
Also, the scene in the movie was taken rather directly from the ride. Right down to the dog, which was exactly the same.
~D~ EDIT: and I must've missed Dan's post, heh. That'd be the one.
