Plot twist: Harrison Ford asks every older Asian man if he’s Short Round

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 142 points 7 months ago

And everyone is too intimidated by him to say no. He's hugged 211 unsuspecting Asian men since the 80s.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 29 points 7 months ago

Someone's got to stop this lunatic serial hugger!

[-] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

There's three things Harrison Ford loves: weed, hugging Asian men with genuine affection, and crashing airplanes.

[-] batmaniam@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

I have a friend that flies, I got a very stern talking to once that it's because Ford has a taste for old aircraft. Which... remember this is a hobby where no one raises an eyebrow for a Cessna made in the early 90s. I guess the one where he landed the helicopter on the golf course involved some autorotation maneuvering and whatnot. In any event, turns out he's an excellent pilot in the air, but maybe a not so great one on the ground before takeoff lol.

[-] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

If he met any Asians after crashing his plane on a golf course I hope this brings them some closure.

No, it wasn't the crash or a concussion. Harrison Ford is just like that.

Whoaa, hang on, let’s show Ford some respect.

He also crashes his perfectly functional planes on airport taxiways instead of the runway ATC directs him to.

Very annoyed that with his resurgence, we didn't get the return of short round. He should have popped up in the new movie, as an adult explorer following in Indy's footsteps

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 64 points 7 months ago

Short Round instead of Waller-Bridges' role world have made the movie a lot more organic than "daughter of the best friend Indy has never mentioned".

[-] BobbyNevada@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 7 months ago

They could have done the equivalent the "last crusade", but instead of Sean Connery, its Harrison Ford .

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Speaking of Waller-Bridge:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebe_Waller-Bridge

Phoebe Mary Waller-Bridge was born in Hammersmith, London, on 14 July 1985, the daughter of Michael Cyprian Waller-Bridge, founder of the electronic trading platform Tradepoint, and Theresa Mary, daughter of Sir John Edward Longueville Clerke, 12th Baronet, employed by the Worshipful Company of Ironmongers. The Bridge, later Waller-Bridge, family were soldiers and clergymen, who came to rank among the landed gentry of Cuckfield in Sussex. Her grandfather, Cyprian Waller-Bridge (1918-1960), "a Wodehousian sort of character... 'the eccentric son of an eccentric vicar'", was an actor and BBC announcer. On her father's side, she is a descendant of the Revd Sir Egerton Leigh, 2nd Baronet, and a distant relative of politician and author Egerton Leigh, Conservative MP for Mid Cheshire from 1873 to his death in 1876

Baronet? Worshipful company of ironmongers? Cuckfield? British as fuck.

And more writing talent in her left nipple than the entire panel of writers that churned out that god-awful Indiana Jones tripe

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I had the distinct impression she rewrote her own dialogue at least.

[-] Zoboomafoo@slrpnk.net 20 points 7 months ago

I would have liked that, I really enjoyed his performance in Loki

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

What an amazing spin-off that would be. 10/10 would watch.

[-] batmaniam@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

It would have been nice, but part of the reason he left was the frustration with type casting. So it would have been cool but I'm more happy he's had a pretty solid stream of totally unrelated roles rather than dusting off the old hits.

That being said, you know who his entertainment lawyer is? Jeff Cohen, aka: Chunk from The Goonies

[-] iamjackflack@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Why not now? It’s not too late. Now’s the perfect time for him to take over! Let’s do it!

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 49 points 7 months ago

Ohhhh crazy I didn't realise that's who he was! I thought he was just some random Asian dude who had popped into Hollywood prominence with Loki and Everything Everywhere. He's even more of a gem than I thought!

[-] spamfajitas@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago

I still love that, for Everything Everywhere, he got Jeff Cohen (Chunk from The Goonies) to help him negotiate and sign his contract.

Actual last panel. "We hugged. He told me to leave."

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

Three days later I received a bill for the photo.

[-] supangle@lemmy.wtf 37 points 7 months ago

ke huy quan is the most humble and wholesome person in hollywood besides keanu reeves imo

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 24 points 7 months ago

Growing up there were plenty of reruns of Lost Ark and Last Crusade. But I knew it was a trilogy and never saw one of them. Tracked it down and yeah got why it's not rerun on tv.

[-] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 25 points 7 months ago

Temple of Doom is one of the reasons we have the PG-13 rating today. Spielberg actually lobbied the MPAA to give Temple of Doom the new rating to avoid the backlash over Gremlins being rated PG.
