In the 1987 movie "Predator", the great action superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger showed the power of the natives of the earth.
But after many years, we know that another action superstar also performed this movie: Shange Yunton. You don’t remember the appearance of him. It’s normal, because he played the predator. He, who was still unknown back then, dressed in tights and costumes, and performed incognito in the predator—and he only played it. After a while, he left the crew. There is nothing to say about the nameless pawn being kicked out. The problem is that the real reason for Shanggyunton's departure from "Predator" has been a mystery for 30 years.
1. Why did he leave "Predator"?
To put it simply, everyone who participated in the production of "Predator" will know that the Brussels kid on the set later became an action superstar.
But why did he leave "Predator"? Did he leave voluntarily? Was he forced to leave? Is there any hidden grievance in this? The strangest thing about this incident is that everyone's teachings are different. Why do they know all the facts are different? Could it be that the optical camouflage on the predator confuses them?
We would like to invite the "Human Resources" of the crew as the first witness: the casting director Jackie Burch had already met Shange Yundun before - through Shange Yundun’s noble man, Zach Norris, the action king at the time.
"He often came to my office, and he hopped around here to show off his skills, and kept arguing me to give him a job. At that time, he was still unknown and had no experience at all.
So in the end I told producer Joe Said, "This kid should be able to play the predator well, because no one is as alive as him." I'm serious, Shangge Yunton really has two brushes. He even put all his belongings on the back then. It's in my garage!"
can tell that Parker should have a good relationship with Shangge Yunton.
"But he didn't stay in the crew for too long. The news I heard was that he took three meals a day in the hard-working crew, and in the end he was fired. After that, he came to my house silently and took all his furniture from The garage has moved away. Next time I see him, he is already a star who can earn $5 million for making a movie." Newcomers at
like to complain, and then he was fired before the trial period expired. Huh, Shange Yunton is too exaggerated. But to be honest, although the casting director is the person who personally handles the casting operations, Berch’s testimony looks like second-hand news, and the authenticity is a bit discounted. The next witness won't be like this-but the second group director/staff director Craig Basley told a more bizarre story.
2, personality kid
"One day, I was in the hotel lobby with producer Joe, and I met this boy Shange Yunton. After he saw us, he immediately came over and asked: "Are you Joe?" Joe nodded, then Shang Yundun just...
Shangge Yundun suddenly jumped into the air (remind you, this is the hotel lobby); he played a trick in the air (the stranger you met in the hotel lobby should not do this to you ).
"Oh my God! His legs are split straight in the air, and his pants are as high as my eyes! I am taller than 180! So, he later played the role of this monster. We cooperated with a special effects company to design the appearance of the predator. It has a head that looks like an ant. This special effects company spent a lot of money to get this head. After
Shangge Yunton came, and they The head of the finished prop model was carefully put on Shangge Yundun’s head. As a result, Shangge Yundun didn’t know what was wrong, he immediately jumped up and screamed, then put this one The 20,000-dollar noble head fell to the ground and turned into a pile of fragments. Joe shouted on the spot: "What are you tm doing! You never want to fuck in Hollywood! Get out of me!""
Wow, at 80 In the era, physical special effects were still the mainstream of the movie circle. These special effects companies used their extraordinary craftsmanship to create life-like special models.
These model props that cost a lot of money and production time are of course precious, and then Shange Yundun destroyed the predator's head by pulling a bomb on a dry land. Josif should really want to peel Shange Yunton on the spot and hang it upside downCome on, he is lucky to be kicked out by the most powerful producer on the set.
But some people’s memory is not like that. The third witness is John Davis, another producer besides Joe. His reason is more reasonable:
"When Shange Yunton came, we only found out after dressing. , This predator of only 5 feet 6 inches does not seem to work at all. We need bigger and stronger guys."
Shangge Yunton’s natural weakness is that he is not tall, he is actually less than 170 cm , The problem is that Arnold himself is over 6 feet (188 cm). When the predator and Arnold stood together, the audience didn’t want to see that this brutal alien hunter was even short of Arnold's head-later as a substitute Shange Yundun's new predator is over 7 feet tall.
3, what's wrong with short?
The height problem is unacceptable. In this movie, the predator needs to pinch the necks of many people and lift them high. Shangge Yunton has studied karate since he was a child. It is said that learning martial arts from an early age will affect his height. Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, and Sammo Hung were actors who practiced karate in childhood, and their height was only about 170 cm, so this is no way.
The question is here, and he is also known as the street fighter who has been practicing martial arts since childhood/English teacher/Three Aikido masters/first-class CIA agent/Sifang Cheating Big Teapot/5 movie box office champion star, our favorite Stephen Shi Geer is taller than 190 cm... Maybe Aikido is less harmful to the human body... Who knows... The three witnesses of
each put forward different facts. Is it because Shange Yunton loves to complain? Or was he fired for ruining props? Or is it because of height restrictions? The reasons are not limited to these, let us continue to read...
