      Watch Slim Pickens lips carefully when you hear that. The original line was "A fella could have a pretty good time in Dallas with all that stuff". The film was set to be first screened on November 22, 1963, but was delayed until January 1964 due to the assassination of President Kennedy and the line was dubbed from "Dallas" to "Vegas" in post-production.

    Fun Fact: Kubrick had to guess where the crew stations were on the B-52 set as he wasn't allowed access to an actual plane. the result was so close to accurate he was apparently questioned by the FBI as to where he got the information. Turns out he simply arranged the duty stations in positions where they made sense ergonomically.

    One of the greatest movies ever made !
    - Those crews REALLY were up there for many hours at a time.
    - I love it when they come up from the lower deck.

    Peter Sellers was originally going to play this part as well, but was injured, which probably worked out for the best. The survival kit contents were pretty good too.

    I've often what would it have been like if Peter Sellers had played Maj Kong as originally intended or Slim Pickens had played Halloran in "The Shining" as Kubrick initially wanted.

    That "better get a confirmation from base" was against protocol as "base" could be compromised or an enemy comms intercept. You get the code; you go, no questions asked by the pilots, all thosr questions were asked and answered by SAC before sending the code.

      If that was the case then the Vasili Arkhipov would have just gotten ahead with the nuclear launch and then doom the entire world to death because a decision this important couldn't be confirmed? I'd rather avoid dying due to any technical error

      Originally, he was supposed to play Major Kong as well,
      but his portrayal of that role wasn't different enough from his portrayal of President Muffley. So that's when they recast the part with Slim Pickens.

    (according to a semi-official biography movie, he faked it because he didn't want to play Kong)

    Maj Kong's cowboy hat wasn't a prop, Slim Pickens wore it from California for the filming of the movie.
    He also held up production because he didn't have a passport.

    They still fly nuclear arms out here at Minot AFB. The b52 is a majestic if a little ugly beast. It moves through the air just as smooth as a picture. Theyre amazing if you can manage to forget the world changing payload they take off with everyday

  • @TJIRISH44
    @TJIRISH44 11 дней назад +1

    Agree a great film. However I wish the Special Effects with the B52 Flying were better. I understand Kubrick had an Assistant Film Crew charter a plane and fly over the Artic to get the Artic Film Scenes. Also Spielberg has claimed the way the attack on the Air Force base is filmed is how he decided to film Saving Private Ryan's war scenes with the quick editing docu feel. Finally Kubrick originally was going to make a serious film about Nuclear War. But after learning about the philosophy of deterrent.... Both sides building up their nuclear capabilities to form the mutual destruction philosophy. Kubrick determined this to be soo absurd the only way to make a film about this subject was a Black Comedy.
