Corpsing: Difference between revisions

(→‎Web Original: RIP Gilbert Gottfried)
 
Line 43:
* During the (not kidding) ''twenty straight minutes of rock climbing'' in [[B-Movie]] ''[[Lost Continent]]'', as Cesar Romero is pulled up a cliff, [[Wardrobe Malfunction|his trousers begin to slide down]] and the actors hoisting him grab him by the back of his belt to prevent it. Behind them, Hugh Beaumont is visibly snickering at this and making a half-hearted attempt to hide it. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJcY-tDqVvM&feature==related#t=9m28s You can see it here in the MST3K version.]
* A bit of Corpsing gets through in ''[[Spaceballs]]'', but only slightly. When the Radar Officer tells Dark Helmet, "I'm having trouble with the radar, sir," there's a bit of a chuckle at the end. It should be noted that the officer was played by [[Michael Winslow]], man of a thousand sound effects. Almost a dozen ''[[Police Academy]]'' movies and ''this'' was the point where he almost loses his composure? Hilarious.
* Rik Mayall claims some of the child actors tried to do this to him during his (cut from the final film, [[What Could Have Been|sadly]]) scenes as Peeves in ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Philosopher's Stone (film)|Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]''. Luckily for Mayall, he had [[Bottom|experience]] with that sort of thing.
** According to [[Chris Columbus]], the first ''Potter'' film is filled with rapid cuts to compensate for how often the child actors would smile or laugh in the middle of takes. [[Rupert Grint]] was known for being especially bad at not corpsing and apparently he didn't get much better when he grew up. On the fifth film, an instance of corpsing became a [[Throw It In]] (when the Trio all laughs after Harry talks about his kiss with Cho).
** Emma Watson was reportedly terrible for doing this during the filming of the final film. They set up a [[The Swear Jar|corpsing jar]] on set because of it.
