In June 1987, Marvel staged an extraordinary live-action event at Shea Stadium to celebrate the wedding of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. Taking place just before a New York Mets game, the ceremony was held at home plate and was officiated by legendary Marvel creator Stan Lee, bringing one of comics’ most famous romances into the real world.

The celebration featured actors in full costume, with Captain America serving as Spider-Man’s best man while the Green Goblin added a dose of villainous chaos. Mary Jane’s wedding dress was specially designed by renowned fashion designer Willi Smith. Timed to coincide with the release of The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21, the spectacle became one of the most iconic and ambitious promotional events in comic book history.

Predator Facts

-Jesse Ventura was delighted to find out from the wardrobe department that his arms were one inch bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger's. He suggested to Schwarzenegger that they measure arms, with the winner getting a bottle of champagne. Ventura lost, because Schwarzenegger had told the wardrobe department to tell Ventura that his arms were bigger.

-Several people were approached to direct this film, including Sir Ridley Scott, James Cameron, Brian De Palma, Richard Donner, John Milius, John Carpenter and Renny Harlin. They all passed, stating they didn't want to shoot an Alien/Monster movie in the jungle. 

-The helicopter pilot seen at the end of the movie is Kevin Peter Hall, the actor who plays the Predator. 

-Bill Duke improvised the shaving. The crew scrambled on-set to make a razor that squirts blood.

-Although they were never mentioned in the final film, the full names of the main characters in the original script were Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer, Staff Sergeant George Dillon, Sergeant Mac Eliot, Sergeant Blain Cooper, Sergeant Billy Sole, Corporal Poncho Ramirez, and Corporal Rick Hawkins.

Gene Wilder on the mixed responses for "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" (1971) during its release & shares an heartwarming moment he experienced:

"'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' (1971) wasn't a success when it came out. And I heard some talk about mothers who thought it was cruel to the children. What... what they and everyone else found out later on was that maybe some mothers felt that way, but the children didn't feel that way. The children understood the movie very well. That there are limits. And they want to know the limits. And it's reassuring to know that someone can tell you what the limits are, and that's what Willy Wonka did.

If you had any idea of how many people stopped me about Willy Wonka, you'd be surprised. I mean you're thinking a lot but it's more than a lot. the mothers come up to me. Two days ago, a mother came up to me in the country market & asked, "Could I tell the children who you are?". I said, "If you don't say it loudly you can". And she whispered to the children, "That's Willy Wonka" & she smiled at me and said, "What a Legacy!".

Well, it is. That part warms my heart, it is a great legacy.

‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ starring Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara, Alan Ruck, Jennifer Grey, Jeffrey Jones, and Charlie Sheen opened in theaters on this day forty years ago (June 11, 1986) 🚘 🎶 🖼️

"𝙻𝚒𝚏𝚎 𝚖𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚜 𝚙𝚛𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚢 𝚏𝚊𝚜𝚝. 𝙸𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚜𝚝𝚘𝚙 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚔 𝚊𝚛𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚍 𝚘𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚒𝚗 𝚊 𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚎, 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚖𝚒𝚜𝚜 𝚒𝚝."

TRIVIA: Anthony Michael Hall, who had worked with writer/director John Hughes on three previous films, was offered the role of Ferris Bueller but turned it down as he was busy with other projects. Other actors who were considered for the role included Jim Carrey, John Cusack, Jon Cryer, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, and Michael J Fox. Matthew Broderick was eventually cast in the role because Hughes had him in mind when writing the screenplay. (Wikipedia) 🖤

Dan Aykroyd talking at 100 mph and rattling off alternative movie titles in these outtakes from the TV commercial scene in GHOSTBUSTERS (1984) is comedy gold. One of many moments that shows how much fun the cast was having on set.
