"We didn't plan it that way, but Danny DeVito drove to work in a car shaped like a duck. He was already in makeup from the previous day and he just started driving all over the set. Luckily, we were already filming so we just kept the cameras rolling..."

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago

I really want this to be true

"Then we went back in time fifty years and created the character of The Penguin."

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

There's no way that duck is street-legal.

[–] eddie@feddit.online 36 points 2 days ago (3 children)

one of those scenarios which makes you wonder if they chose danny devito to play frank reynolds, or if they got the opportunity to work with danny devito and wrote frank reynolds based off of him.

this is frank reynolds behavior

They were told by the Studio that they needed to add a veteran actor to the cast for season two, Danny was one of the choices so obviously they picked him

Weirdly one of the times where exec meddling actually saved a show.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You've got a point there.

I watched Deck The Halls recently and he's basically Frank in that.

Frank isn't a character, it's just Dan

[–] fitjazz@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have always liked Owen Wilson's acting but after meeting him I realized they he isn't really acting in most of his movies, he is just delivering lines as himself. I still like his movies it was just kind of a neat realization.

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

"Wowh" pouty lips. I feel like I'd like him as a guy (no idea about any controversy) but such predictability is just boring imo.

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

I just watched that movie for the first time last holiday season, and it was easily my favorite that I rewatched at least twice.

As a big Always Sunny fan, I agree with you. Frank didn’t go full warthog in the movie, but definitely still Frank but in a suburban setting.

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I sure hope Danny Devito isn't as racist and sexist and bourgeois as Frank.

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

He campaigned for Bernie I think hes at least not consciousnessly bad but hes also like 70 so idk whether hes progressive for his age or progressive for our times.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago

If I recall, he's actually awesome

[–] MeatPilot@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Given the opportunity to drive a six wheeler duck mobile up a flight of stairs? I'd do that shit for free.

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 4 points 2 days ago

Me too - it looks like real fun. Hell, they would have to take a break for an hour or so, to make sure i have enough time driving around the DuckMobile. Only way to get me to stop would be to offer the BatMobile as a replacement (until the DuckBatteries are charged again, then it is Quacking Time again!)

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

his duck vehicle?

If Danny Devito didn't already own a duck vehicle before the movie, nobody tell me.

[–] Vathsade@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

See top comment :)

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

IASIP should really track this vehicle down and use it on the next series

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

I've been thinking about this, I think it's just the chassis of an argocat with a duck pedalo attached

As in, pretty easy to make

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Wasn't there also an incident filming this where the thickness of the suit saved him from a monkey ferociously attacking his balls? I'm remembering this story from somewhere LOL.

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The movie is Batman Returns (1992)

If you're looking for verification that this is true, exhibit A is that this is Danny De-goddamned-Vito

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 2 days ago

Ranch, please.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Batman Returns I think?

[–] CuriousRefugee@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I suddenly want to go out and buy Jersey Mike's...

[–] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Don't do it. Mike sold out last year, it's now Jersey Private Equity's.

Driving with such poor sight lines ain't safe, Penguin.

[–] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Daniel Michael DeVito Jr, you rapscallion.
