Best of the Worst: A*P*E, Easy Kill, and Honorable Men

Join these middle-aged white men as they tackle such topics as giant Apes, double crosses, cops on film, shoe sniffing, Kirk Cameron, and the CDC's mask requirements. AAAAPE!

Mike's story about being an extra totally checks out. A few years ago I was an extra on that Jake Gyllenhaal movie Southpaw. They had me dress up in a suit and sit in a stuffy, poorly ventilated auditorium at my college's convention center with around 70-100 other people on a hot summer day from 8 am till about 10 pm. And they also fed us pretty terrible food, but since I was in college, I didn't care. Finally at 10 pm, they all called us into this other large auditorium where they had the boxing ring set up, and the director was like, "Okay, here's what you're going to do. You're going to wait three seconds for Jake Gyllenhaal to punch this guy out and as soon as the other guy hits the mat, you're all going to get up and cheer." They did about three takes of that before they called it a day. The worst part is even though I filled out all my paperwork and everything, they still didn't pay me for the day. Hollywood is a terrible, terrible place. Even when they're shooting in Pennsylvania.

@@Parasiteve The cost to sue them would be far well and away above the amount I actually was supposed to get paid for the shoot. Work as an extra is 100% purely at will. Yes, you have to sign some legal documents (mostly a bunch of CYA stuff for Hollywood), but what do you think it is? There's no unions, no collective bargaining, no representation. You're little more than cattle. Actors have agents to go up to bat for them. You have no one. In all honesty, you're far better off working some menial, humiliating job (like, I dunno, Arby's or something) because as much as that sucks, at least it's regular work. Or at least closer to it than work as an extra will ever be (most of the time). The truth is that being an extra is the biggest scam in the world. The production staff want you to believe that the real reward--the real payment you're entitled to--is the privilege of stepping onto a movie set. They want you to have stars in your eyes. It saves them money that way. But you don't need me to tell you it's not worth it: Hollywood "glitz and glamor" doesn't keep the lights on.

Oh my god. I was a background extra in Honorable Men. Some extras were cast from local colleges (TCC and CNU if I recall right). I mean, as an 18 year old it all totally seemed legit, with real film cameras and boom mics and everything! Thankfully I’m uncredited; imagine having *that* follow you around the rest of your life. How embarrassing! 😅

To be fair, compared to some of the crap shown on BotW this looks like a professionally produced film. You have a SWAT team, a cast of dozens (of women), and competent cinematography. Would be easy to fall for as an extra. Then you look at the finished product and want to never see that director/writer/star again

Hopefully this injustice will be rectified and you’ll now be added to the IMDb page as an extra.
