MegsHOST
Yeah
ElizabethHOST
... after Raising Arizona, after Peggy Sue Got Married, after The Boy in Blue, after Birdie and The Cotton Club and Racing the Moon and Rumble Fish and Valley Girl and Fast Times.
MegsHOST
Yeah.
ElizabethHOST
Like, he had to have filmed this back in the, I'm gonna say anywhere between 1980 and 1984.
Joe ValdezHOST
So I had him come back to read again with Debbie.
Joe ValdezHOST
Well, he wasn't sure if he could take the part because he was shooting Rumblefish at the time for Francis Coppola.
Joe ValdezHOST
And I said, yes, but Francis Coppola is a friend of mine.
Joe ValdezHOST
He's like family to me.
Joe ValdezHOST
He won't want to hurt my film, and he won't want to hurt you.
Joe ValdezHOST
I'm sure we can schedule around you doing some pickup shots for Rumblefish.
Joe ValdezHOST
I'll just give them a call.
Joe ValdezHOST
And he gave me the strangest look.
Rob CoakleyHOST
He did The Outsiders.
Rob CoakleyHOST
He did Rumble Fish.
Rob CoakleyHOST
And then this, I feel like this was sort of like his last bigger movie that he did.
Rob CoakleyHOST
And then like you start looking at his, at his filmography for just movies he directed afterwards, and you're just like, "Eh."
CarlosHOST
Valley Girl, okay.
CastroPANELIST
Rumble Fish.
Ricky RodriguezPANELIST
But other than that, Peggy Sue Got Married.
CarlosHOST
Rumble Fish is a Coppola.
Ricky RodriguezPANELIST
This is, this is the same year as Moonstruck.
CarlosHOST
Oh, okay.
Reece CrothersHOST
Like, Coppola happens to be an American filmmaker and, you know, Godfather's a great American movie.
Reece CrothersHOST
But the rest of his films are, they don't, like, even Rumblefish, it could have been set in a small town in Tuscany.
Reece CrothersHOST
You know what I mean? Like, they're not, and Outsiders is sort of like particularly American, I guess, but more so than Rumblefish.
Reece CrothersHOST
But a lot of the other movies are, they're european in their feeling anyway um a lot of the american directors were european the ones that we like from that period were european influenced and um altman like has definitely european influences but altman seems to me to be the least influenced filmmaker by other filmmakers he didn't i know he liked great filmmakers and stuff but he never seemed to be reverential To them and to a style.
Reece CrothersHOST
And I think what we're finding in MASH is like there's a loose quality that comes from his panning and his zooming with the camera that has this feeling of like, oh, the camera really feels almost incidental.
JeffHOST
I had not seen them since, you know, I don't know, 12, maybe? Yeah.
Mike HillHOST
Probably my favorite out of all those is Rumble Fish.
Dennis HopperSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The Coppola film?
Mike HillHOST
Yeah.
Mike HillHOST
I never read any of the S.E. Hinton novels.
JeffHOST
I read all of them.
Mike HillHOST
But Rumble Fish, the movie is cool.
Mike HillHOST
It's got Mickey Rourke as the motorcycle boy or whatever the hell his name is.
AmandaHOST
Does not have a budget that was reported, and did not have any box office numbers because we were just talking about this before the podcast, but it was in a limited release and also released on DIRECTV CINEMA, as A24 used to have a partnership with them where they released quite a few films before, you know, uh, I think it was 2019, 2020 we were talking about is when it ended.
AmandaHOST
In terms of the background, writer and director Kevin McMullan told Screen Rant that some of the inspiration for this film came from 48's Treasure of Sierra Madre, 85's The Goonies, and also mentioned films like 83's Rumble Fish, The Outsiders, and 71's The Last Picture Show.
AmandaHOST
The ru- the story, though, takes place on the Jersey Shore, an area he knows well, having spent summers there as a kid, in particular at Point Pleasant Beach.
AmandaHOST
He said, "There's this little island that people refer to as Treasure I- as, like, a treasure island in the middle of the Manasquan River.
Christy OxborrowHOST
Yep.
Christy OxborrowHOST
Other films filmed in Oklahoma include The Frighteners, The Grapes of Wrath, Elizabethtown, Rain Man, The Outsiders and Rumblefish.
Christy OxborrowHOST
The 1983 black and white coming of age drama starring Mickey Rourke, Matt Dillon, Diane Lane, Dennis Hopper, Lawrence Fishburne and Nicolas Cage.
Lauren AshHOST
There he is.
HawkHOST
man.
HawkHOST
Even in his early 80s shit when he was doing Rumble Fish and The Outsiders.
HawkHOST
So you just don't think of Coppola doing a courtroom drama, but he pulls it off because he's great at what he does.
ChadHOST
He was essentially the big brother to the easy riders, raging bulls guys.
Shane KellyHOST
Because it's a Francis Ford couplet film.
