Movies with Razorback stuff

[Hogeration]

Just a lighter thread.

Worked off then morning and at home watching nightmare on elm street marathon. (Never realized it was this bad when I was younger.). Anyway, the beginning of number 5 has a kid in the pool wearing an old school Hog Hat. Anybody know if there are any ties to people in the movie to AR.

What other little hidden Razorback things have you noticed in movies or TV?

[CDBHawg]

The Identity Theft of Mitch Mustain.

[robs4516]

The three that come to mind immediately for me:

Herb Tarlek's (sp?) Razorback mug on "WKRP in Cincinatti",
One of the workers in "The Abyss" wore a Razorback cap,
Several references (calendar, rear window decal, state trooper cars) in "White Lightning" (1973 movie)

[cmhogn]

Frank Bonner "Herb" on WKRP had a Razorback mug on his desk. He is from Arkansas. Also Dan Patrick has a Arkansas Lou Holtz doll on his desk more or less just making fun of Lou.

[LZH]

"Thelma and Louise".  In one scene the guy was watching a Hog game.

[cmhogn]

Nolan Richardson appeared as himself in He got Game & maybe Blue Chips.

[LZH]

Also, that movie with Tommy Lee Jones and the Texas cheerleaders (my daughter and I have seen that a hundred times).....the game they played at Memorial Stadium was against the Hogs.

"Thelma and Louise".  In one scene the guy was watching a Hog game.

It's actually the Ken Hatfield Show after the 1989 Arkansas-Houston game in LR. You can hear Hatfield describing the plays while the FBI guys try to trace Louise's phone call.

Background "crowd noise" in the movie "Roller Ball" with James Caan was recorded during Razorback basketball games in Barnhill Arena.

Man of the House. Terrible movie, but that's a funny scene when TLJ tackles Big Red.

SEC coaches who recruited Oher in the movie (when being filmed)  & the coaches of those schools when movie was released:

School       Movie Coach       Coach at time of release
LSU                    Saban                    Miles
Auburn               Tubbs                     Chizik
Arkansas             Nutt                       CBP
Ole Miss              Orgeron                  Nutt
USCe                  Holtz                      Spurrier

In Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield in the bar fight scene there is a Razorback Penant on the wall

Ole Miss              Orgeron                  Nutt
USCe                  Holtz                      Spurrier

I always get a kick out of that. In the small number of years between his recruitment and the movie being made all the coaches were different.

Not really a surprise...But Bill Clinton SNL skit shorly after his election (1st term) when he jogged into McDonald with Secret Service Agents. It was hilarious.

Frank Broyles playing the doctor who made the announcement after Lincoln had been shot, "The President is dead." in The Blue in the Gray. Much of which was filmed on the UofA campus and around NWA in fall of 1982.

[SPAL]

Nolan also played himself in a marlon wayons movie cdlled "6th man" sometime in the mid 90's.

[SPAL]

Friday night lights had a scene where OC Mac McGill is discussing his upbringing with coach Taylor and says his dad had two passions..he loved to bass fish and he loved razorback football.

"The Abyss" shows a razorback license plate

It's UPS.  There are several of these commercials featuring different razorback apparel and items because they are a sponsor of ours somehow.

There were a couple of terrible movies supposedly taking place in Arkansas.  One was called "The Legend of Boggy Creek" and it was made in 1972.  Haven't watched it so don't know if it had any Razorback references (here is the trailer:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9V44D9xZ70 ),

In 1987, a sequel - Return to Boggy Creek - was made.  I have seen some of this one and there are scenes in DWRRS.  One of the principals is at a game there when some "bad things" go down and the police (I believe) have to go get him while the game is in progress and bring him to the scene of the action.

Here is the full movie:

There was a made for TV movie on Disney that showed the clip of U.S. Reed's half court shot.

[56Hog]

Frank Broyles playing the doctor who made the announcement after Lincoln had been shot, "The President is dead." in The Blue in the Gray. Much of which was filmed on the UofA campus and around NWA in fall of 1982.

They covered up all the streets & sidewalks with dirt but could pretty much film inside Ole Main untouched.

I'll never forget Frank, as a yankee doctor of all things, spitting out his one line:  "The wound is mortal!"

He later reprised that line in 1983, and 1990, and 1992, and 1997.

[lumphog]

There is a movie about the closing of a train yard in Arkansas staring Levon Helm, Wilford Brimley, Kevin Bacon, & Holly Hunter called "End of the Line" pretty good movie....Levon was a he!!uva actor.....If you get a chance to see it, I highly recommend it. Levon was a HUGE Hog fan & one of the nicest down home Arkansans I've ever met.....I could tell you stories, but I won't.........YOU CAN WATCH IT ON Youtube!!!

[GolfnHog]

Razorbacks are shown on the current Academy commercials.

[SPAL]

The food truck race on food network came to Fayetteville and featured Dickson and RRS

[Hoggy1]

The 6th man.

Mid 90's Wayans movie, two brothers played for Washington basketball team and one died, but his ghost played the rest of the season.  Someone from UW ran down the side of the court in the "Final 4" slapping the heads of Razorback players

[iCalledThatHogBrotha!]

Pretty much any Big Brother episode.

Opening scene of Gone with the Wind is supposedly of the old mill in North Little Rock. Not Razorback necessarily tho....

[HogFanDan]

In Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield in the bar fight scene there is a Razorback Penant on the wall

That was the first thing I thought of.

[Boston RedHogs]

Damn you man!  You beat me to it.  I thought for sure this one was too obscure for many to remember.

Good call though!

It was funny as hell!  He just kept eating off everyone's trey...

[The Divine Swine]

Didn't one of the characters in that ridiculously idiotic movie "How High" wear a plastic hog hat at some point in that movie?

[DLUXHOG]

You men realize that Hollyweird has done their damnedest to portray Arkansas folk as retarded, backwards, redneck hillbillies for many decades....right?   Given this, I wouldn't be falling down and worshiping at their altar

[PORKULATOR]

Every episode of WKRP in Cincinati.
Frank Bonners coffee mug.

[jjdlc]

Not really part of a movie, but back in 95 or 96 when they were filming Tuskegee Airmen out at Fort Chaffee in Fort Smith, I was working at a store in Central Mall.  Malcom Jamal Warner and Lawrence Fishburne came in wearing Razorback basketball hats.  Of course that was right after the NC. 

At any rate, there has been a lot of movies over the years filmed in and around Fort Smith, and Downtown Van Buren.  I wouldn't be surprised to find a few hidden Razorback gems, I need to start paying more attention.

Also one of the actors had on a "old" Razorback hat, and wore it thru the movie.

[RazorTuben]

Did Herb's mug in WKRP look like this. An older guy give these to me for helping him move, got three of them.

[woopigsooie1222]

A film titled "War Eagle, Arkansas" was released in 2007. I went to see it myself, and it wasn't too good, but regardless, I liked how it was a film with "Arkansas" in the title

Oh, god. The Legend of Boggy Creek is one of my favorite terrible movies of all time. And the second film somehow managed to actually shoot at an Razorback game in Fayetteville. You can see it in this link below at around 4:30

[Hog Fan...DOH!]

Frank Broyles playing the doctor who made the announcement after Lincoln had been shot, "The President is dead." in The Blue in the Gray. Much of which was filmed on the UofA campus and around NWA in fall of 1982.

Nice. 

But more like, "Tha President, is day-ed."

[aar0n]

Recently released movie "Mud" starring Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon was shot in Lake Village, Dewitt, Eudora, and Stuttgart.  There are several references to Arkansas and random razorback apparel throughout the movie, as well as the entire crew and 90% of the extras as well as half the actors from Arkansas.  The movie itself has won tons of awards, if you haven't seen it I suggest you do.

[Darren DeLoach]

In One False Move, a great little film has an old codger wearing a Razorback shirt. Designing Women had a Razorback cap pop up now and again.

[Razorback_Mack]

In "Shotgun Stories" a guy goes in depth bragging about Nolan's 40 minutes of hell. There's also razorback gear all throughout the movie. It's actually a great movie. Was filmed around England, Arkansas.

I would imagine "White Lightning" with ole Burt Reynolds has something in it considering it was filmed in central Arkansas. I think Gator's brother was killed in Faulkner Lake

"Come Early Morning" is a movie with Ashley Judd that was also filmed in Central Arkansas and might have something. Ashley played a drunk s*** that would screw guys and always leave before they woke up. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good.

[Tusks]

I walked out of a final at (crap I can't remember the name of the building). It's right there at the foot of ole main on the NW side I think.  Had three or four classes in that building.

Anyway there was Peck and all the crew filming a scene for 'blue/grey'.  They were all over campus that fall.

They shot 3 or 4 movies while I was on the hill for 8 wonderful years, but I don't remember any having Razorback stuff in them.

I thought 'slick willy' did the best of wearing razorback stuff in the media.

i have The Legend of Boggy Creek on dvd!



sad,i know.....

[Fayettechill14]

The recent Matthew McConaughey movie Mud was directed by a Little Rock native and was filmed/set in and around Eudora, Arkansas on the banks of the Mississippi. Parts of it were also filmed in Dumas, Dewitt, and Lake Village. No Razorback references but a good Arkansas story.

[ncrebel]

Burt Reynolds' Evening Shade TV show on CBS would have some Razorback stuff.

[jb11]

Matt Damon wore a Razorback cap in Ocean 11.

[Boston RedHogs]

I believe Sling Blade with Billy Bob Thornton was filmed in central AR.

That's the movie that really put him on the map in terms of leading roles.
