M2 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 OK, so I missed the anniversary by one day (technically it was released yesterday, 29 Jan); but raise your glasses for one of the best and most accurate military movies of all time! 7 Strange but True Facts About 'Dr. Strangelove' at 50 Cheers!

TreeA10 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids. - Col.

OverTQ Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Well, boys, we got three engines out, we got more holes in us than a horse trader's mule, the radio is gone and we're leaking fuel and if we was flying any lower why we'd need sleigh bells on this thing... But we got one little budge on them Rooskies. At this height why they might harpoon us but they dang sure ain't gonna spot us on no radar screen!

Disregard Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 http://www.dallasnews.com/entertainment/columnists/alan-peppard/20140119-dr.-strangeloves-deleted-dallas-reference-and-other-texas-ties.ece There is a little-known reference to Dallas in Strangelove that was removed in looping, though you can clearly read Slim Pickens lips and see what hes saying. As the commander of a nuclear-loaded B-52, he goes through the contents of the crews survival kits: One .45 caliber automatic, two boxes of ammunition pep pills, sleeping pills tranquilizer pills $100 in rubles, $100 in gold, nine packs of chewing gum, one issue of prophylactics, three lipsticks, three pair of nylon stockings. Then he gives the punch line, Shoot a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff. If you read his lips, you see he is saying, A fella could have a pretty good weekend in Dallas with all that stuff. After the scene was shot, but before the film was released, President John F. Kennedy was gunned down in Dallas. In post-production, Pickens looped in Vegas, over Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
