[quote author=Dameon link=board=tv-film;num=1082826458;start=90#98 date=10/26/05 at 22:24:37] Although i've seen it before, I only noticed last night that Dweezil Zappa appeared in the 1987 film The Running Man.[/quote]<br><br>If you've seen it before:<br><br>*  how come you didn't recognise him the first time?  :o<br>*  how come even the phrase "Don't touch that dial" didn't perk you up enough to notice it was him the first time?  :o<br>*  how come you didn't recognise him earlier in the movie?  :o<br><br>I was watching Steve Vai's DVD at the Astoria last night and listening to the commentary track (never listened to that before (good fun) although I have had DVD since it came out) and when it finished I flicked around channels and got Running Man and it was just at the start of the Dweeze's first scene. Serendipity! Had to watch the rest to see the "Dial" scene even though I don't like the movie much. One of Arnie's EVEN MORE wooden performances.<br> ;D

Damn, that was a amazingly oversized image....... <br><br><br>Anyway.. this isnt really a Zappa reference, but close anyway:<br>In the Oliver Stone movie "Natural Born Killers, you can hear the tune<br>"Drums a go-go", written by Paul Buff, and played by The Hollywood Persuaders...<br>Frank and Paul Buff worked together in the early 60's, and Frank<br>later bought Buff's studio, Studio Z.<br>Frank was allso involved in some of The Hollywood Persuaders hit singles....<br>....I guess most of you allready know the story.......<br><br><br>IB ;D

In the movie Slacker by Richard Linklater. A guy in a taxi (played by the director) tells the cab driver some dreams he's had, and one of them is him having breakfast with FZ.

"Mystery Science Theater" has quite a few FZ references in it. "Toads of the Short Forest" was mentioned once.

I remember on at least two different occasions they all shouted WEASELS RIPPED MY FLESH, RZZZZZZ.

I got The Midnight Special dvd box set and Brownsville Station tells the audience that before the band plays they gotta get ready. The people at home should go get their snacks or pizza or whatever and spread mayonaise and kaopectate all over etc.. the audience groans, but the band moves on...

I'm watching this episode, right now. It's not the promo poster. Rather, it's the front gatefold of the vinyl album jacket. This particular episode of "Friends" is titled "The One After The Superbowl: Part 2". It's Episode 13 from Season 2. It originally aired 28 January 1996.

Zappa in Platoon ?

I always thought Zappa appears at the beginning of Oliver Stone's Platoon. I'm still sure it's FZ.

Actually Frank was pretty skinny. And the posture reminds me of Frank, too. Don't know.
